First off let me say that i'm VERY disappointed in the endings of this game, however:

I think the IDEA of these endings could work, but Bioware COMPLETELY botched the execution. The "cycle" plot makes no sense without a backstory. So instead of being some revolutionary like: "The Citadel is a VI that controls these cycles because the first race, the builders, saw uprising after uprising of Synthetic life in their time, and so created a way to deal with it." 

Instead we get VI kid: "I'm the Guardian! We destroy life over and over because we can't let synthetics win!" Even though he's basically being a hypocrite. You know, Synthetic life destroying all organic life every 50,000 years.

Then of course, there is are the 3 endings. All of which I can work with. Accept the actual endings are all the same... With just slightly different dialog leading up to it, and meaning at the end. However, I wish there was a let Shepard live AND not kill the Geth and Edi.

The endings also raise some questions:
1: How did the crew get back to the ship? They were all on the planet kicking ass with me.
2: Why was joker in FTL running away from the energy thing?
3: Why were the Mass Effect engines on the Normandy Destroyed? 
4: Was ALL Mass Effect technology destroyed?
5: What happened to the HUGE FREAKING FLEET that was over Earth? How will they get home?

These are just a few, if you'd like to add your own questions i'd be happy to add them to the list.

To sum up, the idea behind the endings could have worked. But in the execution of them, we are left with WAY to many unanswered questions, and no extra story to tell us how the galaxy sorts its self out.
On a side note: I forsee DLC EXPLAINING how it all works out! 

PS: WTB: Taking Back Omega DLC.

Additional Questions:

What planet did they crash on?
Is there any technological development now?
What are the circumstances of the post reaper invasion recovery?
Are all the races that helped with the Earth liberation stuck on Earth now?
Since the Mass Relays are destroyed, is it even possible to travel between stars now?
Who was the Ghost Child at the end?
What happened to all the ME2 crew members? Live/die?
If the Crucible was the development of many races over many cycles, how was the information kept from the Reapers for so long?
Why was I expected to understand a decision that fundamentally changed the galaxy based on a few sentences from a Ghost Child?
How precisely would changing the DNA of the Galaxy to a tech/organic matrix prevent the inevitable wars between the constructed and the non-constructed?
If my LI lived, what happed to him/her/it?
If the Reapers kept saying that Shepard was unable to understand their motives, why was it so easy for a Ghost Child to explain it at the end?



Non-Setting questions:

Why was it preferable to have the endings be so similar in result rather then having dramatically different endings based on the player choices they consistently advertised?

Opinions?

I agree with especial with the Guardian line... I was thinking the same thing.. Hypocrite. The biggest problem there is not back story, we understand nothing about why the Guardian thinks this way or what he is... and it leaves the endings to fall flat on there face.

Okay, about the guardian, it's not actually synthetics per se that are destroying other organic civilizations. The reapers are organic + synthetic in form a solution to preserve these species instead of destroying them outright, combining them with synthetic processes. The idea that reapers are pure AI synthetic creatures was thrown out in the ending of Mass Effect 2, they're half organic, half synthetic.

I know they are not actuall Synthetics. But they are still a primarily machine race/being/thing/group, that from everyone elses perspective might as well be synthetic life.

The endings are already being discussed in several other threads, depending on what you think of them. Please use an existing thread instead of making a whole new one just for yourself. Thank you.

End of line.
