This is Bioware's game, not yours. This is Bioware's story, not yours. Yes, you have some impact on individual character's stories and can impact the end of the game to a degree, but this game is ending the way Bioware wants. What many people seem to forget is that this is a labor of love that Bioware has worked on for over half a decade, and if they want bitter endings then they are gonna have some bitter endings. Everyone needs to stop being so worked up over the endings and start appreciating the unique path they are taking going for a darker ending to an epic trilogy instead of a rainbow and sunshine one. Can you even remember the last time a HUGE series like this has ended on a dark note? I sure as hell can't, and I give massive props to Bioware allowing one of the biggest franchises ever to go out the way they want, and not how anyone else does.
It's their story, their franchise, and their ending. Deal with it.
A simple fact most of you seem to be overlooking....

And if it turns out that the endings are as they're presented, I can and will choose to express my displeasure, by avoiding all EA and Bioware titles from now on, including their SWTOR mmorpg.

Except for the part where they said this was our story and we choose shepard's actions and story, sure i guess that makes sense.

I would like to argue that we're the ones potentially buying they're story. If Bioware wanted to write a story solely for their own pleasure then I recommend they use a diary.
This too.

Too bad then that Bioware 's story doesn't even match with their story from previous games.
Besides if I was that interested in reading someone else's story, I would pick up a book.

Because no story has ever sounded stupid just from the endings...
Guess what? Frankenstien is a stupid story because all I know is that Franky and his monster die in the end! WTF WHAT A STUPID STORY NO ONE LIVES OMG
You have to understand the context in which these ending occur, because I can promise you Bioware isn't going to leave you high and dry

I think people have acknowledged that it's BioWare story by now, which allows us to level criticism at them for poor writing/design/marketing choices. They wrote an awful ending, designed the game to basically produce that same ending regardless of choice, and then marketed/lied through their teeth about it.

Frankenstein wasn't interactive, nor did it feature choices that carried over into the next installments.
And yes, these endings are fairly "High and dry".

In Bioware they trust apparently even after the issue with the writing in ME2 or even Arrival.

Every single source that's played through the game and EXPERIENCED the endings instead of simply reading them has praised the end... I'll take their word over some of the mindless people here any day

I've purchased several hundred dollars of BioWare products and licenses.
Fair or not; I have expectations based on past purchases and I will certainly vote in the future with my wallet.
That is all.

The overall ending cannot be changed, but the rest of the characters, galaxy, and races are greatly affected by your in game choices

And were this a short story in their drawer I would be inclined to agree with you. However, as soon as you begin to sell it consumers are allowed to criticize it.

THIS
AND THIS
I'm not happy with this and I don't care, either we've all been lied to since way back at E3 2006, when we got Told that THIS WAS YOUR STORY, YOUR GAME, YOUR CHOICES, IT's all up TO YOU THE PLAYER.
I believe you can still find youtube videos of a certian person from BW saying that to this day.

A lot of people have gotten too attached to their personal character that is merely a part of the plot and story, not the entire plot.
They keep forgetting that the Reapers purpose and what revolves around it or occurs despite it is the real plot and the ending needs to focus on that not Shephard.

The Frakenstein story never promised the reader they could decide the outcome. Titanic was tragic, and great, but no one ever promised the watcher had a choice in the outcome.
It is not fair to the consumers of this particular franchise to sell the series on choice and then decide at the eleventh hour to make some kind of artistic statement. Even worse if this was just set up for another series in the franchise, but that is only hearsay rumor at the moment.
