However, I think there is still some room for a "happy" ending if you can call it that.
The best possible ending that people would like, and make sense, is you and your LI getting stranded/dying together with everything else being the same as the other endings. Which still may be an ending, since I haven't gotten to/watched all of them yet.

I share your pain. I'm going to draw out the campaign as long as possible, and then just do multiplayer until dlc comes out.

There is no ending where the reapers win? That you don't even get to the three choices part?

I'm still wondering what the supposed "golden ending" was that we were promised.
My best guess is the Control ending (which I chose my first time through), which leaves the galaxy largely as it is, with the Relays just defunt (not destroyed); however, as Shepard controls the Reapers, and the Reapers are spread throughout the galaxy...rebuilding and/or reactivating the Relay Network in a reasonable amount of time is quite possible. The Citadel is completely intact, too, and Earth is finally untouched.
But that's hardly a "Golden ending"; your actions still have relatively little meaning, as the galaxy will be a completely different place (down to its very nature) no matter what ending you choose. And all of those decisions you made, big or small, make comparatively little difference--the only decisions that really matters is the ending.
And even then, each ending is just so...vague. Hardly anything is explained, very few things are even implied (let alone confirmed)--including HUGE points, like what "Shepard" actually does in the Control ending (do all the Reapers just leave everything?) or if the total destruction of Earth in the Destroy ending is repeated EVERYWHERE else in the galaxy (why wouldn't it be?), or how rewriting DNA somehow turns all organics into quasi-synthetics and all synthetics into quasi-organics...etc.
That, and the Catalyst's reasoning that all synthetic life will eventually kill all organic life is absurd, ESPECIALLY in light of the very possible scenario of the geth and quarians achieving a very satisfying peace and cohabitation on Rannoch, or how the Prothean Empire completely dominated any synthetic life (and was far too powerful to let one such race from winning). I would have understood the reasoning that each cycle's civilizaton would eventually grow too large to sustain itself or too crowded to work without massive wars breaking out constantly a lot better--it's actually a compelling argument that explains why every Reaper cycle occurs "at the apex of [each cycle's civlization's] glory, they are extinguished."

As I've said before, it doesn't make sense because it has the obvious feeling of them making last minute changes when somoene was hungover in the writing room going "We need to make it seem more philosophical... with ugh... choice.... that negates everything choice you've ever made in our 3 games".

currently feel. it isn't that I had to have a wonderful ending shacking up with
liara and being next door neighbors to Garrus on a beach somewhere but as the
current endings stand I don't really understand what just happened.
, the little boy who ends up being an ai? vi? why is he a
human? who were his people? what happened to them? and if the original goal was to preserve organic life then it
seems a bit contradictory to create a vast race of machines to keep
exterminating humanity. Also in what way are species alive in the
reapers I mean what was the point of doing that at all.
Why is it inevitable that AIs would destroy organic life?
Why are all my friends and squadmates suddenly in the middle of space in the middle of a planet.
and lastly why wasnt there some kind of an explanation, some kind of information at least on why everything had happened
heart is a little bit broken

How come at the end of it all, you and your crew get the shortest end of the stick? While each of the three choices had slightly different implications for the galaxy as a whole, you and your crew just get depressing terrible ends.
All I want is to be with my girl and my crew. I don't care if the galaxy is changed forever, I don't care if were stuck on some random planet, I just want to be with the people I love.
A bittersweet end could have been a victory in the sense that you and your crew are all together, even though the galaxy is set back thousands of years and you're stranded in the middle of nowhere for centuries, but at least you're with the people you've grown to love over the last 6 years.
Instead it's just bitterbitter.
I had three playthroughs planned...but I don'tknow if I want to ever do it again...it just depresses me. Heck, I don't know if I could play ANY of the mass effects again...because I know how it ends.
6 years of mass effect and the last 2 minutes just ruin it all...
It is a testament to bioware that these games have got us so emotional...but I wanted some closure...I wanted to be SATISFIED at the end. 6 years in the making and no satisfaction is just...ugh,

I romanced Garrus and I feel the exact same way. I didn't read any spoilers at all. So I was totally sucker puched by the endings, especially since I was loving the game so much up to that point. The only word I have to describe what i'm feeling right now is devastated. If I think about it to hard right now I still start tearing up. I'm just hoping I feel better tomorrow after a good nights sleep.
I wanted there to be some chance if I did everything right that my shepard could have a 'happy ending'. I'm sorry but a game should never make you feel this bad. It's just wrong. We've been investing in these characters for years now and I don't think anyone ever considered how bad it could be if there was no "happy ending" you could aspire to. I don't have any hope afterwards of going back and "doing better" on another play through.

But the ending was the damn same,big energy wave,normandy crashing and the relays gone and i looked at the renagade or the control ending and same damn thing,its all the same style ending with the relays blowing up,you being screwed and your crew stuck on some planet with or without edi.
dont get me wrong i loved the synth ending i was happy with that,and i love the game and the story but it has little replay for me in the sense of grabbing my renagade shepard or doing many imports.its a great game but i felt like a rather rushed or bad ending and F**k those who tell people they cant have a disney ending,its called paragone >.<

I just want that hope that I know I can fix it and keep working for a better future for my Shep. (if you want to be all dramatic about it)
I don't mind keeping the Green option for martyrdom.

We may not be the authors, but by paying Bioware hardearned cash for this travesty, WE ARE PAYING the authors. My suggestion is a world-wide boycott of Bioware products until they redo this game and give players a "more satisfying ending" and cut half of the Shepard falling off stuff scenes out.OriginalTibs wrote...
Or we could accept that we are not the authors and are therefore unqualified to dictate the artistry of the story.
