To me, the ending felt like it was made by the KOTOR 2 team.

I have to agree. Until the end it felt pretty good, there were a few things here and there that annoyed me (the way conversations were) but I liked it. For me the ending ruined it completely. I'll play a few more time to see other choices and such but I feel like I can stop right there in London from now on.

The thing was that I knew what the endings were pregame release. I thought that I would be less affected since I already came to terms with the ending. Seeing all the good stuff before it though made me realize it was WORSE after you played through.

Sad because its not death that bothered me about the end. I mean Legion and Mordin were both amazing IMO. It's just how it happened.

My next playthrough I plan to stop at the end after rushing to that beam. I'd rather have the game end there than go through that ending again. That there was the climatic part of the end-game sequence, I'll leave it there

I have yet to play the endings, but have seen most of them and/or read about them. Can't say I want to play the game at all anymore. I have played long enough to know what the reapers were doing, and to see the conclusion with the quarians and geth. And I kind of feel like the rest of the game, the work involved in getting a different colored version of bad, isn't really worth it. The deaths so far, were well done. I hated to see them go...but I could accept the reasoning behind the actions. But, from what I have seen of the ending, it is fubar. I spend countless hours replaying ME1 through the different romances, or lack of romance...again in ME2, And started with Tali in ME3 (My favorite of the series due to the conflict of her nice personality and her absolute hatred of the geth.)

And now, I find out that there is absolutely nothing that I can do to see an ending with them two or any other romance that I had been looking forward to seeing the end to. I have purchased all the games in the series on both XBOX and PC platforms, not to mention DLC on both. I can't even imagine the amount of money I have invested. Time invested, Just to have NO resolution. And all I get is some forum goer saying that Bioware said that not everybody would like the ending? Umm, so fix that. Make an ending that people will like. Movies test the endings in screenings all the time and change things as needed to make a BETTER story. As much as I like per-ordering and the bonuses.. I will not on the future dragon age game(s), until I KNOW for a fact that it has an ending that doesn't leave me going...WTF, is that IT?

And considering I am still waiting for a fix so I can play ME1 without CTD...I doubt Bioware even cares. Eh, whatever.

I wouldn't be surprised if ppl get anxiety attacks, depression and other types of problems. Me, a 29 year old married man had to fight crying on his couch. After the romance scene, the fact that u united the galaxy under one banner, means you doom everything anyway.

Sorry to go a bit off subject but what old republic fiasco? What happened?

The Old Republic is losing subscribers daily. It's a bigger crapfest than ME3...and that's hard to beat. 

I'm just over BioWare's bull****.

Cost is high, but ultimatly end of ME3 is happy. Cycle is broken, harvests of galaxy will never happen again, and even if all your friends are in big trouble, they would be dead for sure if shep havent reached catalyst. At least now they have some chance.

I chosen Control endning and i find comfort in idea that Reaper-Shapard uses his new fleets to rebuild mass relays, evacuate intergalactic fleet stucked on earth and to find his friends.

I actually liked 90 percent of the endings. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the Normandy stuff, for the reasons people have mentioned. It makes no sense at all. Like...I could sort of get the Normandy flying, like maybe it got sucked into the Mass Relay or something? But there's no way in hell it could have landed and picked up the crew from Earth and gotten back to the Mass Relay before it blew up.

[Foulpancake]

I too will never purchase another bioware product until this is fixed. If it never is, guess i'm done with Bioware, goodbye ToR

I will not spend another DIME on Bioware unless they PROVE to me that they give a crap.

 

I agree. I love the Mass Effect series, but if they don't fix the ending, with DLC or otherwise, Bioware will never see another penny from me and a large number of my friends.

The only people I know who liked the ending didn't play the first two, which is already stupid.

The deaths were totally reasonable up until the end. Then it's like a different team took over and pissed all over everything for a laugh after you get hit by the beam.

Also, WHERE/HOW THE HELL does TIM get into the Citadel?

So that's what that smell was when I opened up my CE......

[Melduran]

About an hour ago I completed the game been sitting at my desk running through the story of ME1,2, and now 3. One part of me can relate to the ending for man to continue to evolve as quickly as we have in the past thousands years we will need to intergrate with synthetic hardware. If Artificual intelligence is every invented im sure we would also end up at some point in a war.

But this ending bascialy baked up story fragments of Battlestar galactica and added in some cliche tid bits of The Borg and served us a sour taste with a jarring unclosed storyline. Leaving the horse riding off in the sunset and the hero dead cause...well he had to sacrafice himself to kill the badguys cause well he couldnt just turn a switch.

Either the hero dies or lives its been done, but after 3 games to just end in a wimper meh what a shame, what a shame

When you went after TIM on Kronos Station they told you that he snuck onto the Citadel a long time ago. That's why you got stuck fighting Kai Leng on Kronos Station instead of TIM.

Oh ya, it was still kind of jarring that he just appeared like that though IMO. I dunno the whole ending was horrible anyway what does that smaller point even matter.

No. The thing with TIM is not even a big deal. It was explained that he went to the Citadel, and as we obviously approached the final moments of the game, it was should have been expected that we would see him after being beamed to the Citadel.

I understand, and totally get why people are annoyed, but this is not a plot hole.

[Nefelius]

Why are u guys worrying about the Fleets above Earth?

Whole Galaxy is destroyed when the relays are blown.  (arrival proved that true).

So the Normandy crew that crash landed somewhere are THE ONLY LIVING BEINGS IN THE GALAXY.

So basically all of the "choices"i the beginning are:

1. Shep controlling the reapers somewhere in dark space up to the point when new galaxy inhabitants actually build new synthetics that enslave all of them - and marches to bring "order" with his new pal harbinger.

2. Reapers merged with organics and there will be no organic vs synthetic war.

3. Reapers gone forever and the new galaxy is doomed to wage war on their robos at some point in a distan future.

The only remaining questions are:


1. Why the f**k the Guardian couldn't just turn reapers off or something and send them back after the crucible forced him to change his mind about his "solution".

2. Why couldn't Shep tell him that robots and organic can live in peace and understanding each other like geth\\quarians and humans\\EDI and ask him to send Reapers away and keep them for jus in case.

3. Why the f**k this robot (!) guardian "protects" the organics from being wiped by robots created by them, using ANOTHER robots. Noone asks the opinion of the living huh?

4. Who the f**k built this idiotic Guardian anyway and WHY?

[Nigawatts]

I just pretend that the moments after Shepard passed out and went up the Elevator to the Guardian didn't happen.

I know it's BS, but hey I loved the ride up until that point. I would rather just cut the 5 minutes at the end, then cut the whole game. Cuz honestly I liked ME3 more than ME1 and ME2. Game was epic-sauce for an epic sandwich. It's just the last bite tasted terrible.

[AbsolutGrndZer0]

OK, so now that I've beaten the game I can now comment about the ending I saw. I didn't have a full war assets I think because my Shepard died. But, I chose to destroy the Reapers. After the crash with Joke, Ashley, and The Prothean. I thought that the scene after the credits was kind of interesting the way "The Shepard" has become a old legend from thousands of years ago.

Humanity survived as no race previous ever has. Really, that's a win in my book.

Now, as for the remaining questions, I agree I'd like to know more about who built the Catalyst and the Mass Relays and such. I guess maybe the very first race built it, then their synethic creations turned on them?

I see now why so many don't like the ending, but I actually kinda did. Can't wait to finish my Paragon playthrough (and be sure to have enough war assets that she survives) and choose control.

[DasGota]

As I said in another thread, the ending is a joke.

"Pick a door: 1, 2 or 3."

That's it. Figuratively speaking, I could start a new play-through, going all the way back to the first Mass Effect game, do everything differently and end up at the exact same place. 1, 2 or 3. (Different "surviving" characters notwithstanding.)

That's not a good ending. I wasn't expecting all my choices to be looked at, it's a huge series with so many different variables it would be silly of me to expect them all. But this isn't even illusion of choice. The journey was great, yes. The destination? Insulting.

Why? Because Bioware can do better than this. I've seen it.

yeah.. I cancelled my TOR account, mainly on principle. why did they send the lead writer to SWTOR for the FINALE OF A TRILOGY?

This is a very good question. I assumed it was because he had experience writing SW stuff, but tbh, he should have justs tuck with Mass Effect. It could have been truly epic. Now it just falls flat and kicks us all in the gut.

[mokponobi]

Indeed, we can all agree that the game end as when you jump into that light, we can just write our own endings from there.

[Humanoid_Typhoon]

Does anyone know if playing a NG+ will net you a less suckish ending?

[AbsolutGrndZer0]

As I said, I didn't find the ending THAT bad... I think there could be more variance in the endings, but I don't agree that it's horrible all around.

I do kinda think though that the only decision that really matters in the end is whether you destroyed the Collector base... which makes me wonder... What's the "default" answer to that question for totally new players?
