Im sure you'd all love your little fairy tale happy fken rainbow hippie bull**** endings where Shepard marries a purple alien and dances around the normandy like a ****got and they all live happily ever after

**** U EVERYONE DIES THATS JUST THE WAY THINGS ARE.

[Juniper Mucius]

Why? Why must you make a new thread? How about you post this thought in the thread that's already happening. Can you not see the many, many other ending-centric threads that are being locked? It's not hard. Look at the damn forum. Stop. For the love of the gods, stop.

[E-Type XR]

That would be grand if it was the only game in a series.

But when you've invested dozens, possibly hundreds of hours into a series, to have EVERY single ending go "and then the galaxy was ****ed herp derp" is a kick in the balls.

[AkiKishi]

We are not talking about a single ending but 7.

If the game had one fixed ending like RDR then that's completely different.

Nothing wrong with them as long as you're into nihilism.

[Drxx]

Everything is wrong with them IMO.

Since you love death so much, you might as well kill yourself. Apparently, anyone who doesn't love death and carnage is a hippie now. Nobody complains that the endings are bad. But out of the 6 endings, none of them are positive. That's completely retarded, almost as retarded as you are.

Yeah, the OP is missing the point. What's the point of all the choices you make during the trilogy, if the outcome is bad anyway ?

[emblemsage]

Personally don't believe the reveals without any proof, but I wouldn't mind bad endings. It's been stated for a while that there will be at least one horrible ending. But I will be pissed if all the options are meant to be depressing. I didn't just go through a 16 hr playthrough of ME1 getting ready for this just to get angry at my second favorite game series. I hope there's at least one ending that has some hope in it, something to make it all seem worthwhile. Otherwise, guess it's a good thing I enjoy the multiplayer so much.

So what? ME2 had potentially 32768 endings which barely had any difference to them.

[CerberusSoldier]

Op the ending to this game is utterly stupid and it makes the idea of a galatic war to save Earth a joke . when in the end what ever you do in the game is worthless and pointless . since the Galaxy is sent into the stone age for 200,000 years and Shepard dies .

There were only 2 real endings though. Each one different.

OK, enough with hating on people who don't like the ending.


I don't have a problem with sacrificing things and characrters for the story. Virmire? Forced but appropriate. The sacrifices you make to recruit war assets (e.g. krogan or rachni or quarians etc), they work. Thane having Kepral Syndrome, sure why not. I'm even willing to sacrifice Shepard for the greater good if that's what it takes.


The ME3 endings go beyond sacrfice and into sadism. No matter what you do Shepard personally and the galaxy collectively is completely screwed. Everything all those characters fought and died for was for nothing. Everything SHEPARD fought and died for is for nothing. Galactic extinction has been replaced with a new dark age. His closest friends are stranded on some forgotten rock. Shepard's all alone.


Bioware kept telling us this was a war story. You know the thing about war stories? If they cover the end of a conflict they usually end with the survivors getting to go home and rebuild.

[Yagamoth3433]

Can they add an ending for my paragon shep to join the reapers and exterminate the galaxy. Given what the endings are I would rather just say to **** with it and destroy the galaxy myself after all the bs I have had to put up with in ME1 and ME2 on paragon saves.

I wish Daqs was on to correct you on your use of Dark Age.  

Yes you probably lost half the Galaxy to the Reapers, yes, several colonies and possibly Homeworlds have gone. 

But
you won, and the survivors will rebuild.  Not as happy as you want your
soap to end, but not every war story ends moderately vague. 

You lost the main intergalatic transportation, you probably lost several levels of starship technology.  But its only a few hundred years.  You need to take this into a perspective scope, the Reapers are gone.  For the first time in over millions of years, the Galaxy has a new chance for Organic life to evolve at a rate not controlled by Synthetic Machines who are hypocritically avoiding a Synthetic/AI disaster.  

If you think the lives lost over Earth were pointless, you're the only one who lost.  Just like the dozens of morons here who thinks Shepard is going to be emotionally shattered by losing contact, even though Shepard fully well knew it was probably going to be a suicide mission.  Shepard will survive, the living have no choice but to continue living.

The ME3 ending is essentially mutually assured destruction. NO ONE wins. The Reapers being gone was only part of the point. The war ended with the destruction of the current organic way of life. It ends in a way that will lead to massive poverty, war, and death. Organics LOST.


As for the Reapers guiding organic society, who cares? There was value in the relays. They lead to expanded colonisation, to prosperity for trillions. The fact that the Reapers were evil doesn't invalidate everything they ever had a hand in.

No, they had a hand in all Organic civilization rising and falling for millions of years.  Now we finally have the chance to develop something ourselves.  Mutually assured destruction would have been every mass Relay detonating like it did in Arrival, in this case I assume a lot of Soap fans want that now.

A lot of people will die, but many will still live.  The Best Paragon ending also leaves a standing Earth, which means human survivors. 

You are a lot more emo then I was in high school, jesus.

Which 2 are you thinking of? Apparently none of them really made any difference to anything ME3 related, which is fine considering the same happened to the ME1 endings.

And how exactly is it different from Reaper's cycle, thanks to which civilisations blossom and fall? Now it will be just a long fall. Or maybe they will invent some new idea in further games, but it still doesn't change a fact that a fate of characters people actually care about is every time just hopeless.

The Reaper Cycle is to destroy and absorb Organic races before they reach the expected AI Singularity event.  Any races deemed worthy become Capitals, anything lesser become the Various destroyers and other Reaper Support Craft.

By ending the Cycle, Civilizations can now rise and fall naturally.  Without Reaper Technology to guide organics down a select road, they can discover new means of transportation, technology, etc. 

Or everyone will suffer nostalgia, and rebuild the Relays.  If the Protheans could build the Conduit, then a few hundred years can build relays too. 

Also, the real complaint by the various base isn't the ending, its the Normandy, Epilogue, and crew status.  Something I don't give two ****s about, because I made the concious decision not to get emotionally attached to this game.

And you apparently have very low standards for victory, and a certain callousness towards collateral damage.


The Reaper invasion lead to the fall of a civilization, and the neutralization of the Reapers themselves. In some endings that means they die, while others just have them go away for another cycle. No one achieved what they wanted (extinction vs protection of the status quo), and both sides suffered unimaginable losses at the hands of each other. If you call that victory just because there were survivors, then like I said that's a low threshold.


As for the development, why is it necessary to discover each and everything on our own? Is it wrong to rely on the past to inform our decisions as to what mistakes to avoid and what opportunities to take? The relays helped everyone, humans included. The Reapers making them doesn't detract from that.

[Jaxtar]

What you have to understand is there is one ending with different color (red blue green) explosions that's all why bother calling it 6 and NG+ ending

[ManyDeadCats]

OP doesn't mind the ending because he's just buying ME3 for the gay sex.

I'm into nihilism. If these puny biological beings kill the Gods they must pay the price.


Yeah maybe some want to kill the mechanical Gods and go shopping with your blue girlfriend... but I think that its a bit silly, isn't it? But I suggest to Bioware to launch it as a free DLC option. I simply will keep it away from me.
