 Now..I don't normally make a forum post at all regarding..games...But i've just this moment finished mass effect 3. And, well, i've never been more infuriated over a game ending.
Choice 1: The galaxy as we know it is done for.
Choice 2: THe galaxy as we know it is done for.
Choice 3: The galaxy as we know it is done for.

The ending just made the entire process of doing everything possible to save everyone and preserve everything just seemed so damned pointless and made me feel like i'd wasted time. There as no "Real" choice there at the end, no consequence. The same thing seems to happen to everyone else regardless and Shepard just gets the short end of the stick.
I ask you, what was wrong with a "We kill the reapers, everyone celebrates and gets back to living"? Is that such a bad ending to have? I wouldn't have thought so. It would've been nice to have it as an option rather than the whole "Pretend you have any real choice" ending.
A very,very dissapointing ending to an otherwise brilliant game.

Oh, and, what should i  keep my saves for? "The adventures of Edi and Joker on the nondescript planet"? Or "Tales of stargazer kid in the future"? 
Maybe i'm being unfair. But the endings really upset me. 5 years in the making and it's just "Poof" gone. Not even the possibility of anything else.

Everychoice changes the galaxy but that dosent mean they are the same...

You are definitely not alone in feeling this way. We have a lot of discussions going on about this and a poll. We're trying to convince Bioware to make downloadable content endings so we can have our happy ending. Spread the word if you can.

Here's the poll and our discussion page.

I really don't like the whole dispensing of the entire galaxy and the universe I've really gotten into since ME1. It's all gone. All those characters with so much potential for more stories. It's a shame is what it is.

[Vikali]

The galaxy is fine. The mass relays are just boned, which is not a negative thing. As per Matriarch Atheyta, they should have studied that technology and biult their own. In Destroy, they have all the assests and debris to start anew on their own feet. Besides, there's still FTL, and the longest it would take from one edge of the galaxy to the other is about 20 years. It's only the end for Shepard and co, not the galaxy.

You..DID see those endings right?...

Besides. I'm not a fan of the whole "Shepard gets thrown in the proverbial blender and left to rot" thing being forced on me.

[Vikali]

I did. All three in fact.

[Toxilium92]

The only things I'm fine with are: Shepard dying on a few endings, mass relays being destroyed in all of them, and the Citadel blowing up in two of them. Everything else sucked.

[Neophyte sam]

Bah. I would've liked an "And everything continues on as normal" ending where Shepard gets to just..You know..Go on living.
Change is bad. Nothing wrong with a bit of stability.

[Vikali]

Earth survives as least. Assuming you didn't derp out.

Edit: Well look at it from a continuation perspective. If they didn't have to start out new, what could possibly be done with the story. The galactic society was pretty stagnant and honestly if everything went as disney as people wanted, there would be very little to deal with. The loudest upset people seem to be the ones who wanted to live on a ranch and have little blue children I feel like that's such a distorted view of the story. The galaxy's fate was the goal of this story, not Snow White and the Seven Aliens.

Nah. It would've just been nice to have the CHOICE to have something along those lines. To heck with what they do with the next game. But for my games ending it would've been nice to have something far less extreme. Something along the lines of "Reapers all die horribly, party on the Normandy"
And you could introduce a lot more into that setting regardless of how "Stagnant" it was currently.
Universe is a big place you know.

I can not stress enough how cheated I feel due to the Mass Effect ending. I was bragging to my roommate, how awesome Mass effect 3 was gonna be.Bioware talked about exploring korgan home planet, tali's home planet. Yet we were confined to a bunch roads and modern looking alliance base on tali's home planet (kind of felt like DA2 recycling in my replays especially against the Geth and Cerebus. A lot of broken promises by bioware. If someone can take their interviews display parts where they failed to deliver, would give the community a clearer idea how bad it  actually was. Its suger coated but still just dirt on the inside.
Ending was definitely the last straw for me. A slap to the face or a punch to the stomach. You decide..

Good luck with that.  Word of advice though; Dont be surprised and start whining when your poll does nothing.  But hey, if you wish to poll on in futility, that's your business.  Again, just dont be surprised when nothing comes of it and you dont get your "Walt Disney" ending.  

[Vikali]

Mass Effect is more than the games, though. I can think of infinte more things where the galaxy has to rely on itself. Or you can just go control and it's basically the same thing just with Reaper Shepard. **** doesn't blow, Citadel preserved. But that's all a cover for people's real disappointment of no blue babies on a ranch.

At what point does a "Good" ending have to be a disney ending? People still died along the way. And the trip there was pretty damn awesome. But the ending just....Bleh'd out.

[ibage]

I'm not so much infuriated at the ending as I am at the fact Bioware of all developers pulled out deus ex machina LITERALLY for the ending. It's a terrible plot device and shouldn't be used.

There was so much more potential there in the universe to do more. The game was great, don't get me wrong and it was one hell of a trip but the ending was crappy.

Yeah, I'm board for a DLC ending. Possibly branching off from reaching the Conduit on Earth.

[Mfinn3333]

What about all of the Mass Relay's exploding?

Didn't they wipe out every single system in the galaxy that had one? Which included all of the major species.

[Jjacobclark]

Words are barely able to express the amount of dissapointment I
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.

for
instance, 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

as it is the only people I can really see appreciating the ending is nihlists. Completely overcooked and pretensious.

Apparently it's because some giant star fish child is throwing a galactic tantrum. Because that's pretty much what all these endings were, amatuer and childish with the coveted guise of philosophical. 

[eye basher]

Mass effect was never about Shepard his wifey and his buddies singing Kumbaya around a fire it was about stopping the reapers and breaking the cycle and you do.

[Savber100]

And have people **** about how the Reapers were a non-threat because the galaxy was restored back to the status quo without any losses?

Imagine the bull**** that people would then make up with that.... >.>

tried to clean my original post up, so emotional right now. Usually sci fi is in someway an analogy to our modern times something like blade runner or Brazil but this just seems silly and for something we have been waiting for since 2007 it is really a shame
