It's in the top ten most voted polls on BSN now. A lot of people hate the endings.

[Gilliam80]

I thought it was deeply emotion, and i think the ppl who hate it are the loud minority. I've invested 5 years and hundreds of hours into the series. In the morning when i get up I'll start play thru 2 of 4, and while i know the end the Journey is gonna be completely different. After all the journey is what counts not what is waiting at the end.

According to the poll that I linked people to, we're in the majority.

[Iztiak]

By far.

Bioware: "We were gonna make Mass Effect 3 awesome, til we took an arrow in the knee"

[acegarcia5]

Its not the endings that bother me so much (they do bother me though especially the lack of variety from really bad where the reapers win to a happy one were shep lives and then goes on to retire with his/her LI a great hero or whatever) but its the fact that I'm left with so many questions.

[AscalonD]

I have never been more angry in my life, than the moment of realization that the years of me continually progressing my story ended in such a impromptu way... Come on Bioware, throw us a bone here, hell make a new DLC, 5-10 dollars, I will PAY for a new ending... I went as far as to get CE edition of this.

[IdTheDemon]

There should have been a 4th option providing you did the following:

1) Reputation maxed

2) A very high renegade or paragon bar to fulfill a very high check

3) Krogan truly freed from the Genophage with no Salarian tricks.

4) Ended the war with the Geth and Quarians with peace on both sides.

5) Did a majority of the sidequests

And one of the two:

6) Helped EDI with understanding how to be human and pursue a relationship with Jeff

7) Have a full relationship with someone with ME 1 or 2.

By having done these, you've shown the catalyst the strength of organics. The catalyst would see that perhaps it is wrong and that there must be cycles that are not determined by it but instead by organics. Shepard can then safely destroy all Reapers, is ported down to Earth, and watches as the Reapers pack up and gather towards the Crucible and disintegrate. Various scenes of celebrations are shown, the dead are mourned, former squad mates are remembered, and Shepard holds the hand of his/her lover as the sun sets of a new age (If they died in ME 3, then Shepard holds a frame of them). If no relationship was made, then Jeff and EDI does it.

I just wanted an ending that truly reflected on some of the things we have been building on since the first game. I really, REALLY hope Bioware patches up a new ending because the outrage from this is huge.

Oh and that last scene with the stargazers? Absolutely crap.

[yukon fire]

There were some nice things too lik

Insert disc two

[AscalonD]

^^ I love you, that is the best ending. I spent almost 33 hours doing this, I deserve at least a pregnancy test from my romanced option or something, HAPPINESS PLEASSSEEE

[Kathas1]

Up until the part where the catalyst "Introduces itself" was by far, one of the most emotionally involving climaxes in entertainment history (to me). I teared up as Anderson died, and found my heart skipping a few beats everytime Shepard began nodding off. The final standoff with the Illusive Man was brilliant as well, and even found myself feeling sorry for him. 

I don't *Hate* the endings per say, but....I really wish there was a happier one, even if it meant playing through all 3 games again, getting everything perfect for it. There just wasn't any resolution, clarity or closure. If life in the galaxy is ending as we know it (Along Mass Effect ending as we know it) I would have atleast like to have seen Shepard ride off in the sunset with Ashley, so to speak. There was just absolutely no closure, nothing to make the viewer feel good for witnessing all of the **** Shepard and friends had to go through. 

[SandTrout]

Probably my biggest issue with the endings is that all the endings fundamentally alter the ME universe, making it impractical to expand upon the very good framework and potential that ME has as a Sci-Fi IP.

Also, the only real difference is a color change and which characters are with Joker at the end, with all other differences implied only very vaguely.

All in all, the endings are weak-sauce

Edit: Note that Everything else in the game was great, even the climax. It is only the actual ending that I am taking exception to, meaning everthing from the Catalyst till credits.

We differ, I honestly felt that if I was just picking up the series on number 3 I wouldn't be quite as enraged.  I was invested in the crew of the Normandy, the whole series gave me an opportunity to fight for the future of all of them. The endings just robbed the weight of any real choices, the peace brokered, the hard choices made, they were all pretty much a moot point.

They put way too much into narratively one-upping the rest of the ME3 games. We didn't need a new batch of last minute announced pseudo mysticism clogging up a prefectly good narrative, just give us a f****** end to a war and lots of kicked reaper ass and an epilogue over how our friends and favorite empires are doing, these weren't the endings my Shephard spent 3 tours fighting for.

Also, still hate the kid in the airduct.

[Giles_Warrior_Champion]

The ending and really by ending the final 20-30 minutes of the game..... COMPLETELY ruined the series for me.....I was loving it and was so stoked for me3 and basically locked myself in my room avoiding all my friends family and gf on spring break to play it.......now I wish i could have just said in ME1, well the universe won't be the one I'm fighting for now at the end anyways so just kills us. What a waste of time this turned out to be. the game was SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD until the final 20 minutes, but me1 i finished amd IMMEDIATELY started another play through....me2 same thing...me3 i heard the 3 choices I had and I b****ed the entire time I hobbled my shep down to the branch I chose already knowing it was going to be stupid...and I was right....I would have much prefered an end where the universe that I lived in, was fighting for, still existed...mattered...and was there at the end and my choices from me1 and me2 were rewarded and impacted the game. This was crap and I don't think I'll play me3 again unless the have DLC for a new ending that will actually go with this game...

[bro_9009]

Up until the end, it was the best game series for me and one of the best stories. I played from ME1, imported my story and all, and to have it all end like this? At first I thought that maybe there are more than three choises in the end to have Shepard stay allive and save everyone. Or that maybe I have to play multiplayer and raise Galaxy readines level to get good ending. But making multiplayer mandatory to get good ending seems wrong to me.

I don't have the words to describe how this ending are wrong. I waited from 2010 to see the end of the story, and it just killed it all in the last 5 minutes.. I guess this is a great example how people can do some great and awesome stuff for years and mess it all up with one decision.

I doubt that BioWare really cares that this makes many fans angry, judging by this article from EuroGamer www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-02-02-bioware-mass-effect-3-ending-will-make-some-people-angry. They knew that this kind of ending will upset many fans, but they decided to go with it anyway.

I think Garrus said something about crazy party if they win the war somewhere along the story. No party for Shepard it seems. Also, "nice" move killing him considering his talk with Liara about little blue children.

Damn.. All the excitement for 2 years of waiting and finally playing the game.. Just gone and replaced with utter dissapointment in 5 minutes.

Yeah, three percent are fine with endings as of now. That means, you are the loud minority.

Three percent with a sample size of now almost 4000 people who voted is beyond any "internet polls are not representative!" rhetoric.

[TheSneric]

I'm still speechless over how bad the endings were. I had heard they were bad, but i honestly couldn't have imagined them being this awful. Not sure if i can even play though ME3 again after this...

[DKJaigen]

1. I dont take anything on BSN seriously anymore. 2 Damn fine ending

[Martukis]

Well, I will admit, I was rather hoping for a fourth option - just as I kept hoping TIM would listen to my reasoning - but I wasn't wholly disappointed. It reminded me a lot of Deus Ex (the first game, mostly). People complain that their choices lost value because of the endings, but I fail to see how. The choices made change what kind of armada is brought to the table, and how you go about getting them there. Synthesis, at least, leaves me with the impression that some of the issues - Krogan population boom, Aria's new united merc force and such - could still present issues. Hell, I wanted to just waltz up and destroy all synthetics - and then remembered the geth that would die - geth I chose to preserve earlier - and couldn't go through with it. What I wasn't so keen on was the lacking of any coverage of the lesser military forces. I was hoping to see the Blue Suns and Blood Pack working with Eclipse to take down husks and brutes, or at least for some rachni warriors to come pouring out of some crevasse. I have hopes for DLC, and I will admit that my second playthrough will not be nearly as quick in coming as it was with the first two games.

[Siansonea]

Not sure what people were expecting. Is it just because it was a "downer" ending that people are upset? There's no happily-ever-after in a story like this. I would be the one raging if Shepard kicks the Reapers in the ass and then cracks a beer on the Citadel and whoops it up with his/her main squeeze. Galactic invasions are serious stuff.

[ADLegend21]

it was definitely emotional I'll tell you that. I just wish there was an ending where you don't ahve to destroy the relay's and END galactic civilization and leave the majority of the Galaxy trapped in the sol system, especially hte dextro-amino turians and Quarians who can't eat the food.

[Maugrim]

For the zillionth time no it's not all about wanting sunshine and rainbows ending, at least not in every case, I admit I have a few Shep who would work hard for that route. And I've maintained that postion for over a year and repeated it . Of course that a reason for some people but it'd be nice if people tried to debate without question motives.  I can see how the endings as is can be enjoyable for some and how the one I ended up choosing actually works for the Shep I imported first (not my main).  Try to see things from the other side. 

Just gonna quote myself from 9 months ago not because I'm awesome just my opinion hasn't changed so why worker harder right?

Make it hard to get through unscathed with crazy but FFS not random requirements, sure no problem. Forced and/or random deaths? Nah. This is the end of the trilogy and we've got 9 months to go I want total death, destruction and failure as well as sunshine and rainbows plus everything in between as viable endings. Don't want the ending where a JesusHShepard saves everyone? Don't make all the best decisions. Don't know why people always want less options, it's mindboggling. Anyone elses inability to RP and stop metagaming IS NOT MY PROBLEM.

That's what I wanted.

The destruction of the mass relays reminded me a lot of the ending of the Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons, with the destruction of the farcaster network to defeat the AIs of the TechnoCore. But I liked the ending of ME3. We knew that it wouldn't just be a walk in the park. There would be consequences, and the galaxy would be forever changed. And Shepard would probably be called upon to make the "ultimate sacrifice".

Has anyone done the NG+ "secret" ending yet?

[Siansonea]

I am concerned that people are saying there's so little variety in the endings, I assumed I had just seen one of many endings. :/
