you know, I really think we blew it with regards to the war assets and multiplayer angle.

We asked if MP would be required to get the necessary points
We were responded to that no, MP would not be required

What we SHOULD have asked is whether or not it's possible to get them with solely the SP
Because it's looking more and more like you may not need MP (true) but you'll need SOME sort of tie in that isn't just SP to get there

No lies involved, I fear we just asked the wrong question

Thought that might cheer some people up.


Shouldn't the kid be balling its eyes out at the begining instead of smilling? ;)


No, I loved most of ME3. It was only at the end I reacted that way.

Perfect link. Thank you for putting the words what I and many others feel.

Hold the Line!


It was even more appropriate thani thought it would have been, because just like he says,
this isnt my world . This is not the galaxy i spent 5 years trying to defend and save only to be screwed over in the end. Yes, i am VERY dissapointed !

Pretty much how i feel too man. A very large majority in this thread feel the same way. It might just be a game, but its a game with (or was) a epic story. A story that for 5 years and a huge number of playthroughs (at least for me) only added to the attachment of the game and its story. Only to have it end...in a different colored explosion.


Thanks man. It's a little better for me knowing that I'm not the only one who feels the same.

You're welcome. I've no idea how I managed to pull myself together enough to write all of that so eloquently.

I finished nearly a week ago. From the moment I got the game till the moment I finished I didn't sleep or do anything else but play it. I even called in sick at work so I could play without interruptions... I still feel hollow inside, wishing I never heard the name Mass Effect back in 2007 to begin with..

It's cool to see that this thread is moving faster than I can read...

Do you think the developers, will respond if only enough poeple complaining?
When the indoctrination-theory proofs itselfs as right, i'd actually call BioWare gods of mind-twisting story telling. Or something like that.

I mean, the game is finished, whatsoever. We can't change it anymore.
Basically I do like the endings, but I also think the final cutscenes ain't the real end. IMO the end starts exactly at Thessia, since then the player isn't deciding major matters anymore. It comes down to all decisions you have made in all Mass Effect parts. These decions accompany the player till the meeting with the catalyst.
I just wanna say, anything is possible isn't it?


They'll respond sometime after the 15th, once the game comes out in Japan.


You know that, how?
Did I miss something?

:o

... we see a Shep in a hospital room in a coma and your LI ...

I like that idea. A scene like that could be quite a tear-jerker if played right. You would get a very emotional scene of your LI fighting back tears and holding Shepard's hand as she's telling him about all of the great things he is missing out on. After a recap of the important parts, depending on how prepared your fleet was, the scene would then branch off in one of two paths:

1. If you weren't prepared enough, you hear the heart monitor flatline and see her go through various stages of grief. Take Liara, for example. If Shepard promised her in LotSB that she would never lose him again and told her that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her in ME3, she could comment about that in the anger stage. Then, it transitions to a fancy military funeral. All of your crew are mourning your loss. Some of them say a few words about Shepard, with the last being from your LI. As your LI gives the longest and most emotional eulogy, the camera slowly pans out to reveal a massive crowd of people Shepard helped. Finally, it cuts to black in sync with the first round of a 21 gun salute and the credits roll.

2. If your forces are strong enough to rescue you in time, the camera is framed so you can see her face and her holding Shepard's hand. You see her look up and gasp as Shepard squeezes her hand and you watch her expression turn to one of pure happiness and relief. Shepard sits up with a bit of effort. She momentarily forgets Shepard is injured and gives him a big hug with tears streaming down her face. He winces a bit and she apologizes. She says something like, "I thought I lost you again," to which he would respond in a labored voice, "I always keep my promises." After some more touching moments/dialogue, there is a scene in which Shepard and crew are in a big ceremony being presented the highest award in existence and Shepard gives one last inspirational speech, recognizing the magnitude of the toll that had to be paid for their victory but that it wasn't made in vain, etc. It could either end there or you could finish with a short fan-service scene between a retired Shepard and his LI... little blue babies playing on Thessia, building a house on Rannoch, etc.

The people who want a really sad but cathartic ending with Shepard making the ultimate sacrifice get what they want, as do the ones hoping Shepard finally gets the happiness he deserves. Either way, I would be reaching for the tissue box. There are countless more satisfying ways they could have gone about an ending. It's a shame that the trilogy, like Commander Shepard, didn't get the send off it deserved.

Even though everything about the ending(!) has already been posted here, I still wanted to say that I am deeply dissapointed by the way BioWare chose to end that great trilogy and actually managed to kill any replay-value for any of the MassEffect titles in just over 5 minutes.
I am a longtime lurker on the SocialNetwork (and the BioWareForums before them) and this glaring oversight on BioWares part actually made me break my silence. I play BW games since Baldur's Gate 2 and own every one of them (some even twice) and actually bought most DLC...and now this.
Why do none of my decisions in ME1-3 matter? What happened to "work for your happy ending"?
I finished the game Monday night and can't get the feelings of depression and despair I felt at the ending out of my head.:(
I am deeply dissapointed by BioWare and won't buy anything from them unless persons I trust can vouch that the game is good till the end.

Sorry for the rant, just wanted to get it out of my system. I was so looking forward to lots of little blue babies in the future of my shep. Lets hold the line for that!

About the ending (my theory):

People, look at the ending again. The discussion between the old man and the child.
Man: "Some of the details have been lost. It happens so very long ago"

Isn't like DA2 and how people become a legend? A legend live on, when people telling his stories (but of course many details vanish).


So the endings make no sense because Grandpa doesn't know or can't remember exactly what happened? And we, as players, ought to be satisfied with this explanation. Followed by, "BUY DLC!" 

Speaking for myself, no thank you.

I would normally start a second playthrough right away. But I just can't knowing that ending is sitting there waiting for me.


That was my exact reaction too. I took two weeks off work for this game (well, among other things) expecting that it would make med do what only ME1 and ME2 has made me do in 20+ years of gaming: Immediately restart after finishing it. Instead, I turned off my console, took out the disc and shelved the game.

Oh, and chucked some bucks at the Child's Play donation drive too, great cause and a great way to put a positive light on gamers.

Sorry this I actually call spoiled. Sure complain about plotholes, or the lack of a ending, that is things that they should have fixed. But that you cant get exactly the ending you like?? Sure you can complain about that, but thinking that the company is horrible and demanding to get the ending you want is silly. Why not write a letter to whoever directed titanic and complain that the boat sunk.... 


The complains about the choices dosn't mather would also have been solved by actually telling what actually happened in the galaxy, with the krogans etc. 


I never said that I should be able to get exactly the ending I imagined as perfect. Just a rather "happy" one, a total sunshine ending is not possible anyway, considering how much Shepard, his crew and the galaxy lost (Mordin, Thessia, Palavan)... So there is always going to be a bitter part.

I just want diversion, and in my opinion just clarifying things would not suffice, we'd still be faced with an ending where our previous decisions never mattered.


Spoiled? I hardly think so. Read the latest Forbes article. We shell out hard earned cash to the tune of $70 BILLION a year. It's not like people are just giving us these games out of the goodness of our hearts, and we're throwing a fit because it's not what we wanted. We pay for products they claim to be quality, and promise us so many things, then don't deliver on those promises. All we are asking is for them to keep true to their word.


Did you even read my post? Or just one word. I think a lot of the complaints are correct. We should have gotten a ending that told us what our relations with our companions led to, how our choices affected the universe. What I think is a spoiled attitude is the demanding that we should be allowed to decide what the the choices led to good/bad etc..


My mistake. I apologize.



Thats ok :) thank you for dooing that! quite unusal on a forum.

this...this...this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=booBmcFw_Lk

...this was more emotionally impacting than the ending. Even without a cutscene I could still see it playing out in my head. This audio file alone was enough to make me cry. Whereas the ending didn't do anything but leave me dumbfounded.

This would have been an amazing end...why...

I'm getting sick of being treated like a moron by Bioware, for not understanding their artistic endings..... Sorry Bioware they are not artistic just Terrabad plot hole nightmares....
