I don't criticize DE's endings for being bad.
They are good, because they fit DE's theme.
Here... not so much?
Are they really that bad?

As big as a Tom Lehrer fan as i am...Sure some people are upset over small things
I'm going to have to argue that the unavoidable point in all available endings is not a small thing. In fact it's a fairly large thing. Given that what occurs, directly affects a (if not THE) main fixture of the previous titles.
I see where you are comming from but we knew from ME1 the relays were Reaper tech so it only makes since that beating them and freeing a life from their cage would mean their end. Weather or not you realized this the writing was on the wall.

Ending isn't that bad... if they take out a certain's character supposed idiocy... and oh SPACE MAGIC teleportation. Sad ending is fine, bad ending is not, bad plothole is the worst.
- coming from somebody who is totally fine with Fallout 3 vanilla ending.

I was well aware of what was coming..Whether or not you realized this the writing was on the wall.
However, the destruction and loss of the relays has nothing to do with what may or may not have happened regarding the Normandy.
Not only have i heard no logical reason for the Normandy to be jumping on a Relay stream at the time the network was lost, but there are multiple ways the Normandy's fate could have been handled while giving players the options to have them go down in a way that didn't leave you feeling totally shafted.
Normandy's inevitable fate is just a sacrificial lamb. It's nothing but a pitiful attempt to drive home the sense of sacrifice required for war, laughable in it's obviously desperate attempt to instill a sense of emotional turmoil, and a downright lazy option from the Developers.
There was a reason for the Relays to be lost, but the unavoidable loss of the Normandy is something worthy of upset from a community that has spent years with Companions and Crew as a main fixture for the series.

JC the net's going... the net's going black, JC! No more infolinks, transmissions of any kind. We'll start again, live in villages you receive this, if you survive, then find us... find us.
Edit: I regret comparing Mass Effect 3 to glorious Deus Ex in the first place. It just seems like an insult to a great title.
End of line.

I figured it out! Joker was feeling suicidal from post-traumatic stress and tried to murder everyone on the normandy. He wasn't trying to escape, he was trying to end the normandy's existence. he'll probably be bashing everyone and the normandy when it crashes too.

From what I've gathered reading/watching the spoilers, the endings are perfectly fine. It's the Normandy cluster**** that's a bit upsetting for reasons explained above.

No the endings are not fine, besides Shepard being separated from his/her crew the relays get destroyed no matter what and the Galaxy is plunged into a Dark Age.

Shepard's crew has post-traumatic stress disorder. shepard and you wouldn't want to be with them; they wouldn't be themselves. Remember, they tried to suicide anyway.

The loss of the Relays is at least understandable.No the endings are not fine, besides Shepard being separated from his/her crew the relays get destroyed no matter what and the Galaxy is plunged into a Dark Age.
The purpose of the Reapers and the unavoidable loss of the Normandy are neither understandable, nor appreciated.

They were badly made and the fact that it was all made up so they could keep the IP going just goes to show EA runs the show.

Yeah Bioware did the fanbase a huge favor by puting several lightyears, or even life and death, between Shepard and the Normandy's crew. They would be completely intolerable in their postwar, melodramatic state. The dialogue would be headache-inducing. They all need to chill out, especially suicidal Joker, that drama queen.

The reason you many have heard no good reason for the loss of the Normandy may have to do with not having the whole story. At this point in time most people only have bits of the whole story making jundgement of it unbalanced. There are a few vids out there that show the end but I have yet to see one that has sound or shows anyone but Joker.
