 From what I'm reading on various sites, the endings to Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect as a whole is one of those endings that seems to have been rejected by just about everyone. I'm interested to see if there is anyone on BSN who likese these endings and if there is anyone who can justify or explain their reasoning behind that. 

[Gold Dragon]

Yes, there are a few.

From what I've seen, MY OPINION is that most people here want "My Little Pony rainbows" style endings, and have no idea what DARK Sci-FI is.

IMO, of course.

My only beef is the Normandy's leaving the Sol system.

[Vikali]

I definitely did.

1. I never expected my Shepard to continue past this game with their LI. So I'm not really a part of the Walt Disney vocal group.
2. I think the relays blowing up is a positive since it will make society more independent and the wiser when it comes to such tech, which is pretty salvageable at this point.
3. I found it clever how all three decisions mirrored the three biggest characters in game, Shepard, Saren, and TIM.
4. It opens the doors for a future.


Not to say I don't have my issues, but I'm satisfied and excited to see where it goes from here!

And I agree with the guy above on his last point! That was my only main concern.

I thought the ending was perfect. The whole ride was amazing. I really can't say how awesome I think it all was. Such an emotional roller-coaster too. Ugh... it doesn't get any better.

I think the ending was great. It brought a closure to Shepard's story and it leaves the Mass Effect Universe open to your imagination.

I was hoping my Shepard would live a happy life with Tali but i still really enjoyed the ending.

My biggest tiff was the Normandy crash. That was just stupid. Sure, have Shepard die. Sure have all relays blow up and the Citadel rain debris over a ruined Earth. Whatever, just allow my crew to salute the honored dead in a memorial service, instead of some stupid kid walking in the snow with his grandpa.

Most people also want their choices to actually have an impact on the ending.

I would disagree with that. The loudest whining has been from the Disney crew, not the Choice crew.

People will always like the endings. Even if the end had been a pack of flying unicorns came from the heavens to kill the reapers, someone would still have liked it.

The problem is there doesn't need to be compromise because of the implementation of choice in the ME series. The people who like these endings can keep them and the people who want sadder or happier endings should be able to have them as well.

[Steptroll]

The endings do not suck because they're dark. They suck because they are shallow, contrived and far below the high standards that people have come to expect from Bioware. A childish, easy and unworthy end to something truly great, with no closure or answers.

Exactly. I'm not saying get rid of the current endings, I'm just saying there should be an option there for people who prefer happier endings.

[Elsightos]

Loved the endings apart from a few issues that need clearing up.

How do your hammer squad members get back onto the normandy?
What happens to your crew?
Where does the normandy end up?
Is the relay damage actually less in the blue ending or just a mistake in the cutscene?

[GuyWithFace]

I *didn't mind* the endings, but the biggest flaw was the way you got to CHOOSE AN ENDING. This was also my biggest gripe with Human Revolution. You go through the whole game, making specific choices, good or bad, and what does it boil down to? Lol, your choices didn't matter at all. Just pick and choose one of these endings. Absolutely shameful.

I did not want my little pony, I was totally fine with characters and civilizations dieing... in fact I was fine with Sheppard dieing if he had to(even though I really wanted to him make babies with Jack... don't even get me started on the lack of Jack in ME3). I want a brutal, fight for your life with everything you've got ending if you can get over the decisions you made in the previous games and I was excited to see where those decisions would lead the ME universe in the aftermath... would you be annihilated because you couldn't gather enough forces because you sacraficed the council and Geth to war mongering? Etc etc etc... TONS of possibilites, lots of them really dark... 

Instead you end up with really bad slippery slope fallacy man vs machine philosophy, Stephanie Meyer could have wrote better endings and that's not mentioning the fact that everything you did matters for almost nothing it seems.

Yes, I loved the endings. It was full of deep metaphor and christian allegory, much like some of the best sci-fi ever created, BSG relied heavily on religious themes, Blade Runner had christian allegory in it etc. I thought it was amazing the way they tied it all together.

They make about as much sense as Christianity as well, which is to say none. Maybe that's why them trying to take the philosophical route instead of the reality based one the entire series had been grounded in previously was so mind blowingly terrible, it's just mediocre at best thinking.

In Kotor you could be that saviour or evil dark sith that conquers. You could have your loved one or kill your loved one. You get to choose how you want to end your story. There is always happy or sad ending. Mass effect 3 screw happy ending, the human race are going to be extinct.Mass relays gone so end of human race. Mass relays are vital to the human race and species. There is no happy ending, nothing becomes of shepard and the human race doomed.

I wish people were this passionate against their goals to canonize everything with a movie.

[loungeshep]

I really would like my first Shep to live happily ever after with Liara, helping the ALliance and Citadel races rebuild, providing relief, etc. But that not being the case, I do like the endings I"ve read (yay was spoiled! did the same with 1 and 2 though.), it makes sense that this is the end.

Though a Star Trek 6 ending where the NOrmandy flies off into the starlight of space would've been nice to.

[Kersca]

I liked the ending, right up until it stopped making any kind of sense after you make your choice. How did the entire squad teleport up to the Normandy? Why was the Normandy waaaay out there by itself when a few min beforehand they were helping hammer?

He did bring it up. I do not believe peoples religions are exempt from scrutiny and I was also just being honest. I loved BSG, the religious stuff worked in BSG but it literally has nothing to do with Mass Effect.

Don't get me wrong, I understand. I'm just saying some people get offended by that is all. I'm a Christian myself, but I'm not gonna start yelling or anything. I just want everyone to get along is all.

What is a rpg? And have bioware not been preaching, you choose your  future and your in full control of shepard. Well the ending proves other wise. RPGS are about endings and how our decisiongs have affected  the out come. If we prepared enough. We want a certain type of ending than why the hell can we not have it? Why have the mass relays and technology get destroyed. Races are now stuck on plannet earth. Entire races stuck on  one soloar system or 2 wow we gonna survive long. It just means humanity is ****ed as stated before.

Isn't the whole mass effect series about beating the odds and the galaxies? ME1 and ME2 had those options. Why would the final and key ending be so different?
