Before I get into this too much, I want to thank all of the talented and hard working people at Bioware who did a great job.  The artists, the voice actors, the programmers, and the marketers all earned their pay.  I loved the game up until the end when I learned the trilogy was completely pointless.  

Let's start with the fact the Mass Effect franchise is now dead and this is coming from a guy who has put hundreds of hours and dollars into it.  I bought every book, comic book, and dlc out there for it and it was all for nothing, absolutly nothing. Who cares about whatever merchandise/books/comics/dlc comes out now because we all know that they are all going to die?  

The ending decisions had no real bearing on what was going on based on your decisions, it seemed that it was just whether you got to make the decision at all.  I had the Geth and the Quarians helping each other colonize their new home world, EDI was now an equal member of the crew and was in love with Joker.  The little demon ghost child at the end just kept up with Synthetics will always betray their masters in the end.  So the entire Geth/Quarian and EDI storylines were pointless.  Saving the Queen from the first ME had no real impact on the game even though it seemed like a huge decision.  I got something like an 100 points for keeping the Queen out of 6000+ which is in the order of around 2%; that's not a decision, that's a rounding number.  

I would have loved an ending like DA:O that just told us a few sentences about what happened with each character afterwards but that apparently was too much to ask for.  People should be rewarded for putting time and effort into a trilogy like this.  

I'm a huge fan of Bioware as a developer because they have always put out a quality product for their fans.  This game fell far short of what I had expected, let alone hoped for.  I don't think I can trust Bioware again to release a product for their fans.  I now expect them to release games for what they guess their customers are.

Everyone dies eventually; old age if by nothing else. Saying being invested in something is pointless because of death is a very strange way of living one's life.

I dislike the ending just because to me it didnt fit the game at all. I think a game like this honestly should have endings that are truly dependent on your previous actions. This game didn't give me the satisfaction of a good game ending. Alas perhaps the era of good game endings are dead. I can't think of any games I can honestly say I like the endings to (if its a series i stack the ending onto the last games endings so ME 1 and 2 are put in with 3)

Great read, +10 internetz for you, on a more serious note
I felt the same way you did. I kinda felt betrayed by Bioware for destroying the Mass Effect series... To think there is currently a mass effect movie in production .. I don't see that getting much money with the stunt they pulled with this game. Sure the movie is based off he first game but Bioware just stabbed mass effect fans in the back we put hundreds of hours into our characters for them to destroy the whole series..? Come on they can come up with something better than that I am also very diss appointed in Bioware.. They just didn't try at all...

Its not that everyone dies thats the issue. Its the amount that it feels tacked on. I played through 1 and 2 multiple times getting different saves for different choices. Now with 3? 1 playthrough. Im done. (unless they dlc some new endings) I couldve live with me dying even the normandy and all my crew. if theyre had been some afterwards,

Do your comments get more pointless as it goes on. Nice troll name too. Yeah we know you the like the ending, brave bioware for putting cra p ending. No such thing is as good endings. Did I miss anything else from your pointless comments?

Back on topic, Mass Effect 3 was the conclusive game Bioware promised to the fans.
They calim it answers all questions yet it just leaves behind more questions.  What the hell happened?
They advertise it as how your decisions guilde your story line and how it is really your choices which dicates the ending of the game. But all the war assetsz and decisions from ME1 and ME2 amonted to nothing and having only 3 sinilar endings to a game that people waited 5 years for since ME1 is just not how it should be. I expected more than this. No matter what your choices are humantiy is basically ****ed*.  This elimanates the replay value of the game. There is zero replay value. Everything promised has not been achieved at all by bioware. I didn't try so hard to finish the entire series to be cheated out of ending I thought I deserved. Yeah I wanted a happy end, why didn't my choices allow such a thing? I thought I dictated my own story?

Words just don't describe this comment.  Either you are a troll or a very delusioned human being.  I'm hoping for Troll.

A happy ending would have been great. What I hate though is that some users on here are actually arguing with us because we want a happy ending? I don't see how it's a bad thing for people to want good things to happen to the characters we care about.

Yes, because my enjoyment over the ending we got somehow means I don't want others to get other endings in the future. /eyeroll

Though, objectively, we could get into a neverending discussion of where you draw the line on 'choice'. It's a slippery slope. ;)

I can only imagine some of your lives if everyone who disagrees with you is a troll. I try to think of the type of mindset of such a person and how angry they must be all the time, and wince. Metaphorically.

As to my first post in this thread, I thought it cut straight to the entire premise the OP claimed as his reason to be divested in his interest for the series. It cuts straight to a fairly baseline philosophical purpose behind people even living their lives, if they really do feel investing in something is pointless just because of death. Have they not realized that everything dies, and how awfully nihilistic that viewpoint is? /shrug But, hey, maybe this is the new meaning of 'troll' today.

Most people watch movies or play games for entertainment. Others play to get a little escape from life. People go through enough depression in life, why would they want to be even more depressed when they're trying to get away from it all with entertainment?

No, if you disagree with me because of a reasoned analysis then I am more than happy to admit I am wrong.  I want to be wrong.  But nothing you have written has come close to anywhere near an analysis.  You are just pointing out others foibles in what you think is a superior line of reasoning and making fun of everybody who disagrees with you.  That is the definition of a Troll.  

This isn't about my reasoning for my investment which you have no insight into.  This is about their decision to treat the people the fans who bought all three games and stood in line for hours for each release as idiots who handed their wallets over for less than nothing.

wow really?
"choice" is a slippery slope. Too bad no body told us before we bought the game that there is only one slope.

Did you remotely make a useful comment earlier? Your point less comments are worthless. Yeah we know everyone dies. Why would we not deem it pointless. We played through ME1 and ME 2 only to found out in ME 3 that no matter what we did in those two earlier games. Humanity is destroyed or lives on the brink of destruction. But why should people who payed $80 be given such a pointless conclution? We didn't wait 5 years to ultimitaly told that Mass effect world is basically destroyed. Obviously the forums are complaining on that decision. Your pointless comment that everything dies and just let it be, is stupid considering that the community has been  investing our  time to save it since five years ago. Why should we not speak out when the ME3 ending basically kills mass effect universe you been trying to save whole time.

 Because when facing a foe like the reapers, a happy ending is the corniest thing ever. I will agree that Bioware did go a bit far with the doom and gloom of the endings, but to have everyone live happily ever after would have been terrible and unrealistic writing.

You know you screwed up the ending to your franchise when the "Matrix Revolutions" answered more questions than yours did.

i dont mind the main character dying for the good of all living creatures but when you put them in a position where no matter what you do something terrible happens to every one its just not fair i should get closer not a "oh you did it" thing, this is not red dead redemption where you could pull that **** give me a reward not a could have done better ending.

It isn't going to be complete happy ending at all. All the sacrifices that other characters from the past miranda, thane,morinth, legion. They die some point in the story.  The whole entire series has been reapers vs species of this cycle. No body won at the end? All the ending did was make it fact that all the characters leading up to the end who died before the final mission, died pointlessly. Humanlity was not going to be saved in this ending, and their destruction is confirmed by the bio-ware in ME3. We might as well just let the reapers harvest us, cause our world is gonna be destoryed anway. I rather have cheesy ending over a completely pointless ending. Cause no way I'm touching the mass effect series after that kind of conclution. It just proves how bad the current bioware is.

 Life continued on, that's what Shepard was fighting for. Shepard and his/her crew gave their lives to ensure there was a future. You need to look at the bigger picture, Mass Effect 3 is really about saving sentient life, not saving Shepard and friends.

You didn't save anything though. Based on the ending, Mass relays are destoryed.
Earth a nd other races are  not going survive and even if they do. The resources can not sustain the popution. FTL drive takes too much fuel to travel to other solar systems. Joker and co are obviously gonna die out.

But all the war assetsz and decisions from ME1 and ME2 amonted to nothing and having only 3 sinilar endings to a game that people waited 5 years for since ME1 is just not how it should be. I expected more than this. No matter what your choices are humantiy is basically ****ed*.  This elimanates the replay value of the game. There is zero replay value. Everything promised has not been achieved at all by bioware. I didn't try so hard to finish the entire series to be cheated out of ending I thought I deserved. Yeah I wanted a happy end, why didn't my choices allow such a thing? I thought I dictated my own story?


A happy ending would have been great. What I hate though is that some users on here are actually arguing with us because we want a happy ending? I don't see how it's a bad thing for people to want good things to happen to the characters we care about.


 Because when facing a foe like the reapers, a happy ending is the corniest thing ever. I will agree that Bioware did go a bit far with the doom and gloom of the endings, but to have everyone live happily ever after would have been terrible and unrealistic writing. 


It isn't going to be complete happy ending at all. All the sacrifices that other characters from the past miranda, thane,morinth, legion. They die some point in the story.  The whole entire series has been reapers vs species of this cycle. No body won at the end? All the ending did was make it fact that all the characters leading up to the end who died before the final mission, died pointlessly. Humanlity was not going to be saved in this ending, and their destruction is confirmed by the bio-ware in ME3. We might as well just let the reapers harvest us, cause our world is gonna be destoryed anway. I rather have cheesy ending over a completely pointless ending. Cause no way I'm touching the mass effect series after that kind of conclution. It just proves how bad the current bioware is.



 Life continued on, that's what Shepard was fighting for. Shepard and his/her crew gave their lives to ensure there was a future. You need to look at the bigger picture, Mass Effect 3 is really about saving sentient life, not saving Shepard and friends. 


You didn't save anything though. Based on the ending, Mass relays are destoryed.
Earth a nd other races are  not going survive and even if they do. The resources can not sustain the popution. FTL drive takes too much fuel to travel to other solar systems. Joker and co are obviously gonna die out.


 Harsh decisions will have to be made, the point is the war is over and sentient species at least have a chance. Joker and co are irrelevant. 

 Space travel is still possible and travel within star clusters is still possible, resources won't be that bad.
