Questoin: Do we know for sure that the planet Joker and Co. are on isn't Earth? Maybe they're just in Africa.


If they were in Africa, there would be other humans.

Not wanting all of our Squadmates to end up alone and isolated in the middle of nowhere (and potentially starve) = wanting a Dating Sim?


Not to mention the points behind the endings make no sense. Space magic in the Merge(EDI and Joker having a weird Adam and Eve stare down), Control keeps the Reapers but destroys the Relays, wtf? Destroy wipes out the Geth and possibly the Quarians and Volus if their suits are based off mass effect technology.

from what I understand The SR 2 gets transported to a remote planet and it crash lans on it . In the epilogue some old guy talks about a colony and The Shepard . as a story around a camp fire .  No the SR 2 does not crash land on earth .

Yes, we can't have a fairy tale disney ending were millions are killed and several alien races are all but extinguished, but most of the Normandy crew and Shepard survive, and help rebuild.  Life's not all sprinkles and gumdrops.

War is hell, and any ending that doesn't involve Shepard crying alone in the dark, while listening to Fall Out Boy and cutting himself, is a bad ending!

The more I think about it, the more this has to be a troll. Why in the world would they make an ending that is impossible not to get that makes it so your FAVORITE characters are lost forever? Bioware has always been known for fan service, they wouldn't do that.

If this were ANY other game that wasn't a trilogy or didn't let me invest in romances and relationships and character development... I wouldn't mind the ending... as much.

I mean, the Merge ending is really Biblical with Shepard as Space Jesus, giving up his/her life force to give humanity another chance and then the Normandy crash landing onto Eden and Joker is Adam and EDI is Eve....

....Yeah, who am I kidding....

I asked the space edition guy the same thing. He said that you can see it is the moon of some planet and another moon is visible. So no, it's not earth. I had been clinging to that last bit of hope as well.

Maybe it's very remote. This is not a troll. I just really don't like (if it's true) them being stuck like that.

Maybe in your universe 2 million in sales is good. Maybe even 3.

Let me tell you, 3 million in sales would kill Bioware. Based off of a basic linear regression of similar Bioware games factoring time into account and assuming that the fan reaction will be as bad as it seems to be is evident of this.


ME2 one week sales topped at about 2 million units. ME3 will be the same. Regardless of a vocal minorities internet gripes. If the big EA marketing push works, and given (likely) glowing reviews from professional critics, it may reach 5 million units for the first month. 




ME2 sold 3.82 million units across all platforms. I'd say a good 30% were based on word of mouth reccomendations post-launch. You're not gonna have that now.

Why not? We have 7 endings where Shepard is either dead or forever alone, and the Normandy crew interbreed on an uncharted planet while Tali and Garrus starve to death.... what's wrong with just ONE 'Disney' ending?

They are not Bioware you thought you knew, they are the Bioware EA needs them to be.

I don't like them being stuck like that either. I'm disappointed by the endings and the other thing with the LIs, but what can you do?

I don't mind flinging us into a Dark Age and shoving loss and sacrifice in our face, but goddam at least have it make some sense. Instead of just putting it in poorly for "emotional engagement".

I'm still wondering how the Normandy got to the Relay to be flung to wherever. The Citadel and fight was at Earth.

We would already be getting a bad ending, billions dead, including few of our close friends, whole colonies gone.

This is just too far. We don't need a rainbows and butterflies ending; we need something that makes us feel like what we've done over the past 3 games means something.

The german game review said that the game ended with no loose ends. Isn't the normandy crew off on some random planet stranded along with your LI a lose end?

They did say you have to watch the scene after the end credits. I'm curious to know what kind of scene that is.

I'm still neutral with the endings until I have played the game and experience it on my own. For me personally, I kinda felt that ending won't be a happy one since knowing about how the reapers work but I can understand why some people would not be satisfied with the endings. It's not that they're depressing kind of endings (heck, RAGE possibly had an even worse ending), but the fact that it made all the choices that we have made in the previous two games seemed like it doesn't have that serious impact at all since all things are determined by a push of a button (which button that is depends on you). DAO managed to do this with its multiple endings that relies heavily on the choices that you made yet ME didn't. It's still 50-50 though till we finally get the game in our hands.

However, with all these leaked endings, I do sense that maybe they are planning some DLCs or expansions or another game that ties to this ending. It sets up nicely for a new story since it is easier to bring back other npcs while Shepard is already died/lost in space. I don't mind the new Dark Age era/ultimate sacrifice, but like Strive said, make it in a logical sense.

And I thought Team Dextro (and I do prefer Garrus and Tali over the other squadmates) was the favorite.

Isn't this quite a hard trolling?

"We listen to our fans and are sick of their Tali/Garrus adoration. Let's kill them. Slowly."


At least Team Dextro can share the same fate as "Happy End" Shepard. That's good.... right?

Im going to wait until after the game comes out and we start getting substantiated posts on the endings. If the endings are , indeed , like they are saying, then me3 is just a sub par shooter not worth 60 bucks. in 6 months ill be able to pick it up for 10 bucks on steam or whatever. I think it will be worth 10 bucks.

Exactly, if you don't want the Disney ending, don't play to get it.

I'm not even asking for a Disney ending. People can die, but don't destroy the relationship between the crew and Shepard. That's all these games are about.

Not to mention GAME, the only UK retailer stocking the collectors edition has just cancelled all orders. I feel absolutely no desire to purchase the collectors edition again, and I'm so annoyed at the ending buisness I don't feel like re-ordering the normal edition yet either.

The main reason I want Mass Effect 3 is for a decent ending to the trilogy, and without that it just seems like a waste.

So.. Pre order cancelled. Whether I liked it or not <_< This is all going do well, Isn't it?

Yay. Except we stop the Reapers in every ending unless you screw up royaly. I would rather lose the galaxy and keep the team and Shepard together instead.

So um maybe it's just me but it sounds like while stuff happens to the relays it isn't bad in every ending
