 Isn't the endings for ME3 an All-End-Result from how you played your Shepard character??

which is kind of dissapointing to me since I only got 3 different endings.

yes, the endings do kind of suck.

Yuppers.

My friend and I were talking about it. We both usually breeze through the game on "normal" then provide a challenge by beating it at the highest difficulty.

Let me stress again, I am one of the idiots that enjoyed the ending. Having said that, no, there is zero point for me to play 1 through 3 again.

I honestly want to know if they plan to fix the endings or not. If they do, this can once again be my favorite series in any form of entertainment. If they don't, I can trade them all in tomorrow while they're worth something. It really is that bad. I am one of those people who has over a dozen plays of 1 and 2, and would love to do more. But without an ending I can feel even slightly satisfied with, I never want to play any one of these games again.

Gah, I can't bring myself to replay ME3. Or any of the ME games. At least it's good to see the flood of criticism leaking into every thread. Hopefully the frustration will grow as more and more people finish the game.

Agreed. Dunno how many times I've replayed ME1,2 and the DA games. Was even going to replay ME2 to make just the right Shepherd to enjoy ME3 in. (Can't import any of my old careers for some reason.) But now? I think I'll just go read a book.

I'm also interested to see how things change when I play through with a save where everyone DIDN'T live.


I've considered that, but then I just cant get past the notion that a loss of a few characters just culminates in either the characters not being there to say their lines or Shepherd nut-shelling them into a momentary sppech about "I'm doing it for all those casualties along the way."

The ending pretty much killed all mass effects for me.

The game itself was awesome, as good as the others, but those retarded endings sap all my will to play.

In due time im sure ill give em another go, but I honestly get sick just looking at the game cases now.

FOR YOU?! Are you a sort of hive mind? :huh:
Mass Effect is dead for 80%+ fanbase. Polls prove it.

I'll still play it. But I'll never again watch the ending.

 I know i've been harping on my hate of the endings.

but this is true.


if you wanna see the value of replaying the game play 1-2-3 but stop right before you head off to the Citadel over Earth. 

because the ending will just ****** you off....


The key thing that pissed me off was the relays being destroyed. everyone you knew, cared and loved are now stuck left to live the rest of their lives on Earth or on the lost-planet.  

Tali will never get to see her home again, even after achieving peace with the Geth.
Neither will Garrus, Liara, or Wrex. 
Javik will never be able to finish out his last wish. 



seriously just puts a massive amount of crap on the end for me. 

Call it delusion, but that is not how i end the series in my mind. i'm interested in seeing what they'll do for DLC.

but my guess is that it'll be all in the middle of the story preparing for the Reapers.


though i would absolutely love a fourth optional ending. 


don't tell me there are 16 different endings, there are really just 3. 3.5 if you could last gasp scene. 



and whats weird is i was ok with the ending in Battlestar Galacitca because there was always hints that something supernatural would occur, you were prepared for the bittersweet ending. 

Mass Effect just pulls the carpet from under you at the last 10 minutes.

Replay? lol there is no replay value. I know the ending - I worked my ass off thinking I would get the ending where everyone is saved and live happily ever after, what I get was - lol choose from bad, worse and terrible. Yeah, I feel like Shep failed and all was for nothing.

If I wanted to play a game where you put every effort and it still turns out ****, I'd play Real Life, oh wait.... Thanks BW for reminding of how everything sucks and here I was hoping for a good ending, to make my life feel just slightly better. Goddamn immersion and epic fail of an ending = ruined mood and makes me feel like crap.

Me1/2/3 all have no replay value anymore.

Very true. That's the worst part; they didn't just ruin one game, they ruined three.


Cant agree more, i cant possible think i  play them again, every decision i make will not matter at ALL :unsure:

Sad but true. I have 2 other Sheps that will never see ME3 because I just can't bear to put them through all that, just to basically have the same ending. I really care about my Shepards (To make me feel better I'm going with my canon Femshep passed out and the starchild was just a dream) It's too sad and disappointing to put others in that situation.

There just is no motivation to go back and play any of the series anymore. No matter how hard you try, how many of your squad you saved in ME2, saving/destroying the rachni, council, etc, it just doesn't matter because even if you never even played the first games, you get the same endings. And they are just a shallow, plot-hole filled mess that offers the player no closure.

Oh it's replayable.... until you get to the end.
Which is why if and when I do replay ME3 I'm just going to stop right before the end. I don't think I can bear to sit through the end like that again.

I've never been this investing in a game series in my life... and to have it end like THIS? It's just heart breaking and leaves me feel empty and burned out.

Oh it has. I like the ending, but I get it, you don't.
Still, is it the destination or the journey that matters?
If you like the latter, bam, there's your replay value. :)
I'd also recommend importing a character with completely different choices from the previous games, the wife had an almost entirely different game - same events, but they play out differently.

On the opposite hand, can you imagine the replay value if there were drastic differences depending on your choices and readiness? I mean hell, they wanted that, right?

If you could Martyr yourself, if you could lose to the reapers by having no readiness, if you could go out in a blaze of glory, and if you could have a happy ending?

If there were even those few endings I'd already be on my third playthrough to see them all.

As it is, I'm just sitting here depressed.

It wouldn't be so bad if this was just another game. You know, I can deal with Skyrim's bland ending because it has resolution, yes, but I don't buy Skyrim just for the story (heh).

But Mass Effect is the story series of our time. The story of the first two was driven. The third one, I thought, had perhaps the best story moments. Ever. In any game I've ever played. And then they give me this ending? It's like BioWare has been planning for years just to disappoint us in some grand scheme to increase depression rates. I'm confused.

16? Christ.  I only went for two of them, and then decided, **** it, I've cried enough tears over the collective deaths of every character I ever cared about, I can't take Anderson calling me "child" again. I just can't.

That's beside the point. Let's see.

I have never once been disappointed in a Bioware game until the ending of Dragon Age 2. (Trust me, mentioning this other game has a point.) It wasn't a HUGE disappointment, let's not get off on the wrong track here. It just seemed very strange compared to the first games ending (even with the DLC).

I am not disappointed with DA2's ending anymore.

I'm sure many people have already mentioned EVERYTHING I'm about to go through here. I'm sorry if they have, but this is my experience, so I'm gonna write about it because I'm that pissed off.

1. So... can someone tell me what the point of romancing anyone is? You don't get a happy life with them, you don't even get any sort of life with them. You get two (tasteful, I will give them that) sex scenes - well, only if you went with a human. Alien sex scenes are way too weird, am I right? :mellow: And some romantic banter. It's sweet. It's well done. It makes me wonder what happens after, you know, does my femShep and Kaiden have a kid together, do they go to Vancouver, do they - oh. No. Right. Shep dies. Always. Forever. ****.

2. All of these choices are ridiculously stupid. You say the paragon option is controlling them (which... the Illusive Man wanted to do, and let me be clear that it was his sillouette shown in the little info flashback when the... KidGodCreatureCatalystBULL**** was describing your choices); the renegade is destroying synethic life (which I sort of understand, I love the geth, but god knows I wanted to get rid of EDI the moment she kept getting in the way of my sniper shots, and, for such an advanced AI she really states the obvious a lot, doesn't she?). And Synthesis? What does Synthesis (which I assume is some kind of ultra-Paragon move) do? Absolutely nothing. You say there's a melding of DNA... no there isn't. I see no perfect life forms here like you seemed to think there'd be. There's some humans, there's some synthetics, there's some pretty foliage. It's just another ****ty way for Shepard to die.

Except this death, you get to ****ing swan dive into it. YAY. Oh, and the mass relays are destroyed meaning everyone that came to earth with you - all those aliens that really really want to get back home? - nope. **** you. You never get to see your homeworlds or families again. Deal with it.

3. I was expecting something way better than deus ex machina here, guys. Bioware, you guys have done really great so far. I really applaud you for all the great games you've made. The endings to DA:O, DA:A, DA2, ME1 and 2... they've been great. So HOW could you go to the LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR OF lol that kid you've been dreaming about is this God Catalyst thing that we've had NO mention of so far in any shape, form or fashion. It makes NO SENSE.

4. And the Stargazer and Kid thing is stupid. It just is. Who the **** are they? Why do I care? And why do you give us romance options if THEY AREN'T EVEN GOING TO MATTER IN THE LONG RUN?

I had 5 playthroughs lined up for this game, and I had so much fun here I couldn't wait to finish and then play through some more. And then the last ten minutes hit, and all I can ask is, what is the point? I never really thought it would end this vaguely, this half-assedly, this randomly, but it did.

And it's all over, too. The fact that 1, 2 and most of 3 were leading up to those last ten minutes utterly diffused the impact of the whole thing.

The ending of ME3 was such a sucker punch that I have no interest in doing any gaming at all -- at least for now.

Note this comes from someone that figures they've spent more than 800 hours playing ME1 & 2. It's really funny because I spent more time on the DEMO than the real game itself ..

Let's put it this way: if I had a theater option to see the following amazing scenes, I wouldn't have any reason to replay:

1. Mordin and curing the genophage. Singing his play as everything is burning around him.... the krogans looking up in wonder at the shroud. Tears, man. Spilling.
2. Seeing Tali again(ME2 LI), combined with the hilarious dialogue during the dreadnaught mission if you bring your ME1 LI along (Liara for me).
3. All the cutscenes with Tali from landing on Rannoch onward. High-quality writing at its best.
4. Miranda's storyline was surprisingly well-integrated.
5. Liara's despair over Thessia, and seeing her rage for the first time at Javik.
6. Right before the end, Liara's final dialogue where she does the eternity thing and you two just stand there, literally embracing eternity. Especially poignant since I had chosen Tali over her.
7. Final Tali cutscene: "I want more time..."
8. Anderson's death scene. Tore me up, especially having read the books.

Not to mention that I decided as I was playing that my final playthrough would be with a Liara LI instead, making me wonder all the wonderful scenes I was missing.

But I don't want to go through that ending again, so no, no replay for me. Even though before the ending it was by far the best game I'd ever played. Not logical, but I don't feel logical atm.

Yep I agree 100%. Just bad writing & gameplay. ME:3 didn't feel like a true & complete final series. ME:2 was and always will be the best. But this game was all wrong. Just take a look at the forums, it's full of disgusted players & fans. The series have been ruined...

It's sad.

Every other scene was emotionally amazing. I felt so incredibly invested in every character... I really, really cared about them.

But the ending tore that away.
