The ending is brilliant. Shepard controlling Reapers and converting into a computer program. BRILLIANT.

Okay, I've been reading these posts for the past wo days. Here is my view.

I am one of the lucky people to have gotten one of the Space Editons (if you fanboys really need proof, I'll post pictures and video) so illput aside any doubt about the endings. They are the real and that is that.

As far as the ending was concerned, I though what everybody else thought at first! I beat the game yesterday and I was furious I had to make one of these three choices. It didn't seem fair after how far I had come. I wanted to to kill the reapers, go back to Earth and give Miranda a big fat smooch and be back in time for dinner. I knew Shepard was going to die and it pissed me off. For the next couple of hours I actually wanted to cry. I made the ultimate sacrifice and took control of the Reapers. When I saw the Normandy getting sucked up I just said the word...no. Then they lived and I felt a smidge better.

After hours of being bitter it hit me. This is EXACTLY how Bioware and the writers WANT me to feel. Empty, sad...happy the war is over. I was also sad that the journey had come to an end, it wouldn't go any further. Then I realized it made perfect sense. This was supposed to be an ending and that is exactly what it was. You can't have a war of this scale and not have sacrifice and Shepard makes the ultimate choice that, common, you all knew was coming.

The ending is exactly what it should have been and I think Bioware should be proud of making such a bold choice that got the exact reaction they were probably expecting from all of us. BTW, even if you despise the ending, the rest of the game is pure Mass Effect bliss and and I can't wait to start my second campaign.


Plz let me explain this psychological phenomenon.

When something causes you to feal pain and you are powerless to stop the source of your pain, sometimes the mind decides to redefine "pain." Examples are Stockholm Syndrome (allying yourself with your kidnapper because you're powerless to escape anyway), Battered Wife Syndrome (telling yourself it's okay because he does it out of love and you provoked him), and the ending of ME3.

Really? I'm quite capable of knowing how my mind works. This isn't about psychology, it's about opinion.

I don't like the idea of not being happy with the ending then being told that I am supposed to not feel happy so then somehow that makes me...happy? Sounds more like raltionalization to me.

You seem to be legit imo. Currently, I and lots of other people who didn't play don't like the ending. Does context help the ending be "better?"

Yes, absolutely.  I think having played thorugh the game and hvaing context of the shear global scale of it all does make it "better."  You shouldn't feel "good" after the game and I think that's the point, but I am so satisfied after playing and Bioware did what they set out to do which was conclude the trilogy.

Thats right, Mass Effect is a dating sim to me, get over it haters!

Brilliant ending?
It's more or less a combination of the endings from Ghost in the Shell and The Matrix Revolutions.

Does it happen to be Tali?  I'm dying to know if Bioware gave her a pig face like in the concept art.

Oh well it's cool that Miranda has a satisfactory ending.  One more question: Is it true that Bioware removed the Investigate option from the dialogue wheel, and that the player has a lot less control over the dialogue?

Like I said, there is no truth to that. You still have all the control in conversations like you did in ME2.

Thanks Jackal. Trooper, already covered that and even though I already revealed that and this is a spoilers forum, I did sign a waiver saying I wouldn't reveal much so I'd rather not say again.

As hard as I'am fans of MASS EFFECT series (not all BioWare games ). I ACCEPT whatever ending available in this game. I will try. I Don't care if anyone of you finish the game and furious about the ending.

JUST CHOOSE whatever possible ending that you think at least suits your taste.

I Choose Control Ending, WHY?

because it can be set in the future of ME Series The story of ME can Continue

. And BioWare already state that ME3 WILL END SHEPARD JOURNEY, Real END !!!! no COMA, only DOT (.)

About the squadmate that some of you think trapped in other planet, Let just take positive thinking that there will be other Alien member or even same human that can help them together and find the resources.

Just don't think it too hard.

In control, Shepard become VI and HE CAN do whatever he likes now to help galaxy. HELL even he can command all reapers to kill themselves. And forget with that singular paradox or whaever kind of name.

so Are we clear?

I don't ask you to agree with me, but please, who dislike the ending, simply don't play this game. End of the line.

I feel like I have to scream this FFS already - the endings aren't bad because they're sad. They're bad because they're POOR. Poor quality. Poor substantially. Poor in the way Lost or BSG's endings were poor. They are contrived. They are unjustified. They are one-dimensional. They are poorly thought out. They are insulting to my intelligence as an invested player of the series.

If Shepard and all of the Normandy died, if all galactic civilization was wiped out with only less-than sentient organic life left to survive, if the Reapers won -- all such tragic endings could be phenomenal with quality writing.

But instead we are left with........ what we have now.

Was that a sufficient explanation for just how we, those with two functioning brain cells, view the endings? Because happiness has not a damn thing to do with any of it.

Exactly. So what if Shepard and the whole farking crew died? Don't care, they pulled off and ending adults only will understand. An epic climatic holocaust ending, in which Shepard holds the control of the whole galaxy, best ending ever.


so are you saying shepard is killed by a space hurricane?
