I beat the game, and I haven't stopped crying since. 

I love the ending, it and the game were artistic masterpieces.

But I have been waiting since Mass Effect 1 for a happy ending. My Shepard would raise a family with Liara and everything would be peaceful.

Thanks for taking my emotions and dreams and stomping on them BioWare. 

Sincerely, 
Guy who will never be emotionally okay ever again

No there is no happy ending the choices you made, hours you put into the game have no effect on the ending. There is always the three choices you face no matter what and they are become the reapers, synthesis, and destroy all synthetics.

Actually it's even worse than that.  There is really only one choice except for the colors of the relays when they go up in smoke.  Other than that, nothing you do matters.

The relays and citadel are preserved in Control, buddy.

No they aren't 'Buddy'.  Play that ending again and you will clearly see that they are destroyed even in "control".  I have played all three endings in the space of a half hour on the same basic game, and other than the colored lights (and some minor but interesting details about Joker and EDI in the merge ending), they are identical.

I would urge you to look again. The explosions are clipped.

Huh?  I've done all three choices.  It's what Polaris said.

I do think the choices matter in game, but not when it comes to the ending.

Assuming they are, why did the normandy crash?

Nope. Assuming you didn't flub your save, the Citadel doesn't explode and the relays only overload, they do not experience an explosion like in red or green. Go check again.

There you go. :3 The entire explosion scene is deleted and the citadel doesn't flower.

They wouldn't have cut the explosions if they intended that effect. It's not identical.

I played all three ending just this morning and the relays are DEFINATELY destroyed in all three.  In fact the footage is identical save only for the colors.  I am sorry but you are wrong.

all i know is the relays lost pieces when they sent the blue light through so that leads me to believe they were destroyed. also it can also look different to act like the endings are different when in reality they are not

I am sorry but you are wrong.  I know I didn't "flub" the save because it was the same save-game that gave me the Merge option too, and if you have enough EMS for 'merge' then earth always lives, but the relays DEFINATELY explode in "control".

Then you flubbed your save. They overload in Control. They 'lose pieces', but they aren't destroyed. Nothing the controlled reapers cannot fix.

It's still really similar.
Shepard dead, alive, a reaper, it doesn't matter. The Relays no longer work and everyone is stuck in the Sol system, and your team is stranded on some strange world with no explanation of why they're there, or if they ever escape.

It's always going to be a bittersweet plothole ending.

I did not flub any save. The footage is IDENTICAL except the colors. Sorry, but that's the simple truth of it.

Will someone put all three endings right next to each other in a video with matching timestamps to finish this stupid argument?

Although I can see the point of view that would make these three endings seem like a proper fitting to this series but Hell, I for one am not happy at all about the endings.. I was Cool with Moridin dieing. I really liked that guy but that part of the story fit, I was pissed about Legion "dieing", he was one of my favorite characters in ME2. Again, I can understand that part of the story as it was understandable. But seriously, what is with the "****" endings! Honestly, I want my happy ending with My Shep. and Ashley making a family, working together to rebuild earth along with all the freaken friends I made from all the way back from ME1. Where is my drinking buddy Zaeed, The ones that I will miss the most and hate that the story tore us apart are Garrus, Ashley, Liara, and Tali. I really wish and hope that BioWare stands up to EA and gives those who really want a happy ending something to the effect of what Broken steel was to Fallout 3.

I really didn't know how vested I was in the characters until I saw my first choice of the ending for synthesis. Felt like little girl when I start to cry. So Yea, I am onboard with the "Where the **** is my Happy ending"

It is not identical. Control with "maximum points" leaves the Citadel closing but intact.

I sure didn't see that, and there is absolutely no mention of this in any site save this one.  I saw the SAME ending with different colors, ie the Relays are toast no matter what.

I'm pretty sure StarcloudSWG is right.
