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.
