GROW UP AND DEAL WITH IT

They're not by any means GOOD endings, but I don't hate them and I dont hate the game or bioware for them. Why is a happy ending better? They've told us time after time that this is going to UNQUESTIONABLY be the END of Shepard's story.  Did you want a spin-off with the Normandy crew flying around the galaxy having adventures together still? Love interests paired together and living happily ever after? Really the best I was hoping for from a paragon ending was the reapers destroyed, and thats what we got. Sure, sacrifices had to be made like losing the relays or the crew becoming lost. All the races will go on to do just fine on their own like they did before they discovered relays. One crew was lost, oh well. I loved the crew, going around the Normandy and talking to my squad has always been my favorite part since the first game, and yeah I'll be disappointed and sad to see them go, but that what a story should do, it should envoke EMOTION. And clearly from all the hate, the writer's accomplished that.

Mass Effect's STORY is about saving the galaxy, not your own personal adventure. The GAME lets you play your adventure throughout all 3 games, making your own decisions and seeing the major and minor repercussions of them DURING the games. The story and the ending are BIGGER than that, the REAPERS are bigger than that. Just because you saved a Rachni Queen or blew up a Collector Base doesn't impact the fate of the galaxy. Your choices WILL have an effect on the story, even if they're not the kind of impact you've been hoping for.

I can't believe some of you guys are going so far as to cancel pre-orders of Collector's Editions of the game. If you don't want to experience 40 hours of a more enriched version of the near perfect Mass Effect 2, the final chapter in the Mass Effect Commander Shepard trilogy because the LAST TEN MINUTES (or however long the ending you so deeply hate is) then you were never really a fan in the first place.

Maybe it's just because I'm a big Stephen King fan, but I've always believed the journey is more important than the destination in a story, and I've had an AMAZING journey playing Mass Effect 1&2 and everything I've seen and heard about the 3rd leads me to believe I will be equally amazed and will have a great time playing it. The wait of less than a week is killing me, so I have nothing better to do than to check these forums all day and all you people do is complain about EVERYTHING.

TL;DR
The journey is more important to the destination, and I've had one HELL of a time on my Mass Effect journey.

End of line.
