Bioware makes solid games. This was an incredibly solid game, one of their best. I think the ending was catastrophically bad, but I don't think that completely negates the quality of the rest of the game.

"Punishing" Bioware for screwing up something that they made so wonderful in the first place isn't the way. We want a better ending, but let's support them rather than flinging hate.

I am going to completely honest and candid with you all. Tuesday evening my Grandmother had to be rushed to the hospital. I dove right in to ME3 purely for the escapism, I was having my midterms, and I didn't need the stress of my only living grandparent in the hospital weighing on me. I studied and played ME3.

While Mass Effect was a dark universe it was also a hopeful one, where heroes could actively make a difference. When for squadmates died, I may have teared up but it didn't bother me. Their deaths were noble and heroic, deserving of their characters.

Then I got to the end and I bawled my eyes out.

I didn't weep because it was meaningful (they weren't). Or that Shepards death was noble. I wept because I was overwhelmed by hopelessness. No matter Shepard's path the choices he faced were just so hopeless with no possibility of a sliver of happiness for my avatar in this world.

I was struck by the fact that no matter what he did, how much he had endured, all of Shepards fates were terrible. Either dead or separated from his friends and loved ones.

I wept because I was overwhelmed by the fact that if a g*d d**n video game character can't hope for a brighter future then what is the farking point?

There was nothing redeeming about this games ending. You sacrifice your life (control) or commit multiple acts of genocide (destroy)(Reaper, Geth, and probably Quarians). Synthesis is equally terrible for its numerous philosophical complications.

This game made me hopeless. I doubt I will buy another Bioware game in the future.

Damn.  That's just awful.  I'm really sorry to hear about your grandmother, and I sincerely hope that she's on the mend.

Substitute Dark Angel for Firefly and that signature is my reaction- and so far Dragon Age 3 will be my last just because I like the universe and because I've been Paragon/LS/noble my entire gaming career as my main path.

At least finishing the Dragon Age series, I won't have any ties left that anyone can destroy and ruin, and this is coming from the girl who was happy Mass Effect couldn't end like KOTOR 2. I'm no longer happy about that.

Oh, I deplore the people being petty, and those making threats (I do not consider saying "Im not buying anymore BW games" a threat, merely dissatisfaction with a product), but I applaud anyone who intelligently states their cause.

[TheSneric]

Bioware deserves all the hate, first they screw up DA2 and now butcher the Mass Effect series in all of 10 minutes with these endings. Never again buying a Bioware game.

[Cosmar]

I will not buy another Bioware game. It's not that the endings in themselves were bad, but rather felt rushed, and had poor logic inconsistent with the rest of the series, and the actual outcomes of the endings were unclear and confused.

[Sywen]

I won't. Canceled my SWTOR account too. I can't support a company who does this to their fans.

[Adamantium93]

If they fix it with DLC, I'll buy more games. As it is, we'll see.

[MACharlie1]

I will not. But I made this decision long before the endings and the faults I saw with ME3.

Personal reasonings beyond anyone's control. But it would appear as though I'm getting out of the game at the right time.

[revo76]

i'm loosing my hope here, in this section every second someone else post something about ending, mostly complains, and yet no official explanation.

I should've not buy this, after i saw DA2 fail, but my love to serie, the plot, i bought it anyway. This won't happen again.

I'm done with BW.

This finale is an insult to Drew, to the people who worked for ME1, ME2 and us, the people who spent hours in front of screen.

 they just dont have any other good game to play now. im done with bioware 

[Tamcia]

I'd like to say another DA2,but I loved ME3 until the ending. Ending = I don't want to play ME3 ever again. 

[mitimai]

BW should to speak something soon, or this gonna out of hand.

[Dragoni89]

Funny thing half the europeans didn't even get their game shiped yet of the huge mess that is Mass Effect

I'm so sorry you have my deepest sympathies

Haven't enjoyed a non-Mass Effect game since Jade Empire. So, since they ruined the series for me, I'll probably never buy another game from them ever again. I loved all of their games, except Dragon's Age, and ME was my favorite SF series, I probably liked it more than Doctor Who, but only because of being interactive.

But since they went with **** THIS WE GOTTA END 5 YEARS IN 15 MINUTES, NO RESOLUTION NO ANSWERS! endings, no more.

[Atraiyu Wrynn]

Cancelled swotor subscription the day I beat ME3.

[Kitten Tactics]

I have never been one to be so bold and say I will not invest in a company for x reason. But I've also never felt so passionately about a product before.

I will never, ever, invest time, money, or interest in to this company again unless this is fixed. I don't even want to touch their past works, which I loved. And my conviction on this is strong.

[Spectre_Shepard]

its going to be hard to pony up again. I probably won't preorder, will wait for reviews/warning

damn man. thats some heavy stuff. sorry.

[Quietness]

I am conflicted, bad endings hurt the vision of the rest of the game for me. I will give it a lot more careful thought, but i wont say i will never play another one again. I guess im waiting to see what happens and if its all brushed under a carpet than i may not.

[NeoGuardian86]

 honestly after Dragon Age 2 debacle, and I had kept my hopes high for Mass Effect 3.


everything except the last 10 minutes of the game were amazing. those last 10 minutes though have got to be the gut-wrenching awful experiences that left a very sour taste in my mouth. 

Mass Relays destroyed effectively destroying the galaxy and the galactic races. It's the same death that would of been inflicted by the Reapers, it's just a different kind of death. 

friends and LI's zip off and get doomed on some planet. 

no epilogue. Say what you want about this being a tired trope, but for ending the series and having to rally the other races you HAVE got to get some closure as to what effect your decisions have made. 

Then you find out that none of the endings matter, they all pretty much end the same way. 




I am not a fairweather fan of the series, i bought the books, comics and hoodie, i bought the collector's editions of ME2 and ME3. everything up to the last 10 minutes was an amazing ride. 

Those 10 minutes basically ruin it though. It is hard to stomach playing the game again if you know that the game is simply going to end that way regardless of what you do. 



I know i'm not getting Dragon Age 3, and hell i never picked up Dragon Age 2 DLC. but ME3, if there is an alternate ending fine. If not then Mass Effect ended differently in my mind, i won't accept any of the 3 crap endings. 

For that matter as far as i'm concerned about Bioware games. after getting burned with DA2 and now with ME3 ending. I am no longer jumping day 1 ship for Bioware games. 

I'm really not interested in getting suckered again.

I don't know if I would go so far as to abandon BioWare for the ME3 ending, but it does feel a lot like the ending of DA2 where the player is left wondering what the hell was the point? I like Sci Fi, but I never liked the movie Space Odyssey 2001 and Kubrik's butchering of Clarke's work. Somehow, I think that BioWare channeled Kubrik in ME3 with regards to the ending.
 
The logical problems, the unresolved questions, the lack of a satisfactory ending, all conspire to place a wet blanket on the player's experience. Unless BioWare has some hellacious DLC coming down the pike, we were let down because the ending fizzled, at least for me because there was no way to win with a sense of accomplishment. You just had to take what you perceived to be the lesser of the evils presented to you and Shepard gets run over as just another victim of the Reapers and their master.

[HeavenStar]

I would not buy another ME related stuff from Bioware unless they fix the ending, that's for certain.

With other games made by different team of Bioware, that's another story.

However, I will say that it will be highly unlikely that I will be pre-ordering any game of Bioware from now on. I'd have to wait and see all the comments after the game release to see if it's actually *worth* buying, since lately it seems that the standard quality of the game Bioware made has been going downhill.

[Soundsystem]

I will never buy another Bioware game straight off the self based solely on it being Bioware. It used to be safe to do that, but no more.

The only way I'll buy another one is if after it has release and tons of people who've played (not review sites) have come out saying it's amazing. Then, and only then.
