Just try to tell me it isn't juvenile to be angry about a story not ending the way you wanted it to.

In response to thread title:
Because they suck.
It does not matter to me. I am merely inquiring as to the logic behind this frenzy. I'm sure whatever the ending is, the journey there will satisfy me and it will all make sense within the context of the greater whole. Of course, other people's perceptions may vary. However, why people cannot seem to comprehend this IS what baffles me.LookingGlass93 wrote...

People are well within their rights to express opinions about a piece of fiction they have purchased and have an investment in, and that includes how it ends. Why does it matter to you how they feel about it?

So, is it or is it not juvenile to be mad because the story doesn't end with dancing ewoks and fireworks?

To be honest, the majority of the lot of those "having serious issues with the conclusion" are being rather obnoxious with their entitlement complex.
And if that rather brief innuendo in your signature is a spoiler, I do suggest you remove it posthaste.

Are you sure? I do have serious doubts that whomever leaked these endings has had the opportunity, or time for that matter, to go through the game with every single variable tested out from the previous two games. If you will remember, the ending of Mass Effect 1 was largely the same whether or not one saves the council or not. As it was for ME2. What was much different for those two games was the collateral surrounding those situations. To be frank I myself am not expecting much of a deviation from this formula, if only because of technical limitations.Legendaryred wrote...
Because Bioware promised that the endings were going to be vastly different and that choices in ME1 and ME2 were going to have huge HUGE impact on ME3. But since all it changes it the color of the christmas tree, then they lied.

To be fair most spoilers seem to be being pulled out of the games files themselves. Sure they haven't had the time to explore all the outcomes with traditional playthroughs. But the videos, audio clips and pictures are being pulled from the game files themselves.
These leaks aren't just coming from one guy.

Because the knobs wanted a lovely happy ending where Shepard rides off on a pony to meet God who then brings peace to the entire universe. Meanwhile, a sickly happy melody plays in the background as rainbows spring up in outer space.
After God starts living in the universe. Shepard gets married to his LI and has some children and they live happily ever after in a castle with The Warden and that guy from KoTOR.

A nice ending but this is Mass Effect we're talking about. There ain't gonna be universal peace even after the defeat of The Reapers but you've saved the galaxy and that's what matters. God and I don't care if Shepard dies or not. He's done his job and he can fade off into outer space along with The Warden and that geezer from KoTOR
Game series done. Dragon Age 3 now please.

Wonderful.
I suppose this is the part where I say, "Play the game thoroughly, experience it in full, then judge the story for its merits and not solely its conclusion"? If it was common practice for any critic of any worth to judge the countless stories in literature based on their endings and their endings alone, many of the greatest stories ever written wouldn't pass snuff.
Your expertise at spouting inapplicable allegories into digital format is inspiring. However, neither are analogical to experiencing a story. I could go through your post and individually sift through each and every example to explain why, but doing so would be semantics, and I am convinced that you know better and are simply being obtuse because that is what cynics do when they are at a logical end. Your entire post was, sadly, a waste of your time and only did you a personal disservice.Ksandor wrote...
Eat rotten fish and fully experience it before judging it. I get the idea. You can't judge serial killers before you kill somebody. You cannot judge drug addiction before you use drugs. You can't sue a dirty cop before you become a cop. You can't criticize a game before playing. But you are encouraged to pre-order it. Yep. Definetly get it. With that logic nobody can criticise anbody. Because nobody can be at everybody's shoes and nobody can experience everything, we are not omniscient. So go there, buy it!

You haven't even played the game yet. Or at least I'm willing to bet that 99% of you haven't!
And it absolutely doesn't make sense that like moths to a flame you fools would skip to the very end of the book without the context of the pages in between. And you call yourselves among the biggest fans?
I guess it just doesn't make sense to me. Did the ending have to be EXACTLY as you envisioned it for the game to live up to your lofty ideals? Because it's seeming that way to me.
I don't even know what I'm doing in this board. I misclicked. Spoilers, do not want.
