ME3 ending lacks closure. Why, BioWare? You don't cap a trilogy like this.

From what I can gather so far, my greatest complaint about the ending to the game is that it just ends. There is no post-game expository content whatsoever. No images of Shepard meeting up with his LI, no images of Shepard's funeral, no images of the people of the galaxy getting together and rebuilding, none of the stuff that makes an ending truly satisfying is present. In short, there is no reconciliation with the game world, the characters... no closure is present whatsoever.

It's either:

1. Shepard gets up off his ass in the ruins of London.

or:

2. The crew members of the Normandy looking around where they crashlanded and surveying the area. 

Then, it just cuts to credits, with a small pointless epilogue that doesn't describe how the galaxy gets back up on its feet.

Why would BioWare do something like this? End the game so abruptly, without closing comments from any major characters or even voiceovers from some of the more important figures in the franchise, like Admiral Anderson?

This ending is shaping up to be one of the worst endings in video games since last year's Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Cease your whining. You will get whatever ending EA deigns to give you. And then pay more for a better one when it's released as DLC.

We don't know if it's vague, we only know that the mass relays blow up. Nothing else has been proved and is just speculation. Wait for the damn game to come out.

We know the relays blow up and the Normandy gets tossed through a wormhole.

Not satisfying enough for me. Not enough closure. I don't care about characters dying or getting tossed into wormholes, but any epilogue should acknowledge their deaths in the most dramatic and cinematic way possible.

Where are you getting "wormhole" from? Mass Effect doesn't work on wormholes. A relay creates corridors of mass-free space in which the speed of light is massively raised; there are no "wormholes" in Mass Effect.

And God help them all if the relays shut off mid-jump. Instant death by nuclear whiplash.

I don't mind the vague bit, or the way it's written. I'm simply put off by the copy/paste nature of the ending (I refuse to make that plural); how shallow it is in comparison to the choices we've made throughout the trilogy.

You'd think someone would've realized they aren't just ending a game, they're ending a trilogy. As things stand, they barely beat Mass Effect 2's ending.

That isn't a compliment for Mass Effect 2 or 3.

You want to go against the testimony of the beta testers? Or the people who already have the game?

You mean the same people who enjoyed the whole game, including the endings?

 Really?  Show me a video that contains proof of the Normandy being tossed through a wormhole and stranded. Then show me the proof of them interbreeding and dying of starvation while you're at it.

There are pictures of the Normandy getting stranded, but I can't find the link right now. But I've seen them, and they look pretty legit.

As for the inbreeding, it's just fan conjecture.

No offense, bro. But i'm gonna laugh my a** off if this is true. I want a video of your facial expression once you finish the game.

 I wouldn't care either way. I'm just saying it's stupid of so many people to jump to assumtions so quickly.

I agree on the closure part. I've come to accept the ends (still sad by them but accept them). It would of been an awesome ending to me if whom ever you left on earth to fight gave a eulogy.

So say it was Ash/Kaiden and Garrus/Tali/ or whom ever you wanted it to be were there. What if they started giving the eulogy and the camera panned by each of them and a dialogue wheel came up for Ash who would say some words then the camera goes to Garrus, dialogue wheel shows up he says some words.

This would show just how much Shepard and all whom were close to them meant, and what he/she did was something the galaxy could never repay. and so on and so forth

That's one way for closure. They get to talk about the man/woman they spent all this time with up to that very point and how he/she would be missed.

Or if Shepard survives he could do the same exact thing for whomever gave their lives.

May sound silly, but it just popped into my head.

So youve played the game from begining to end and think its lacking closure towards the end? Or did the rumors and odd leaks make believe that?
