Pretty much what the title says.  Your fanbase is bleeding on the floor suffering.  This current ending is inexcusable and while silence may be easy, it is alienating you from your customers and fans.

Please TALK TO US 

Please EXPLAIN  why you thought this was a good idea and then...

Please tell us how you are going to FIX IT.

The longer you are silent Bioware, the more and more alienated and upset your customers and fans will be and the more and more your entire company will suffer for it.

It's been two days. The best you can do is post in their feedback thread where you know they'll be reading. They've created an area for this kind of stuff, yet that thread is one of the least posted in.

[Zenoctilles]

They did it because they were running on a tight schedule. Hence, the botched writing towards the end.

[Landline]

I agree.

Damn it Bioware! Come out and tell us what your feelings are! Do you feel and admit that you made a mistake, or do you just think that we're to stupid to understand you loldeeep endings. Or are you going to sprout excuses.

If you have an excuse, it had better be a damn good one. You broke my heart Bioware, that's worth more then my money.

I would be the happiest person on earth right now if i knew i had some good endings, coming. I would hop right back in to play the Infiltrator i wanted to. Hell i would start at ME1 and play all 3 again. Now i don't even want to look at anything by Bioware.

Agree with OP, PLEASE Bioware, talk to us here...

[SNascimento]

They should give their fans some answers.

When it comes to the endings I'm pretty sure most people wanted the choice, you know that thing that was touted as being central to what Mass Effect 3 was going to be, of a "Disney Ending". They wanted to be able to lose to the reapers due to their action or inaction. They wanted their effort, their choices, the alliances they made or broke to matter to the conclusion of their Shepard's story.

Hell, when my Shepard was talking to Liara and she mentioned just flying off to a corner of the galaxy and just letting things happen so they could spend their last days in peace. I legitimately thought there would be an option to comment on that saying that maybe it wasn't such a bad idea. My Shepard would never take that option because running from the fight and leaving everyone else to fail is not something in his blood. But the option would be there.

With all the problems in the world why are the current endings the only options? People understand that war is hell and sacrifice is necessary, bad things happen to good people. Everyone gets that, but to eliminate the hope of having that happy ending. The removal of your control to achieve what you wanted to happen to your Shepard is pretty...dirty in my eyes.

But hell, what do I know. I'm just one man. One voice in a cacophony of others.

They may, but they will certainly let the dust settle a bit before doing so. So many games get flamed in their first week these days. In this case, I happen to agree that the endings were sour. But give them (and us) a chance to process it all.

It really is a shame, because this game is fantastic. It felt like they took a wrecking ball to their own masterpiece.

It doesn't have to be a Disney ending, but even a French movie ending with the heroine drowning herself in despair would have been a more upbeat ending than what we got.

At least a we are aware of this and are discussing it etc.

[HarroSIN]

I'm not sure if BioWare staff is around the week after release: it's their time off after shipping the game. I'd hate to be the one who comes into work on Monday expecting rave reviews from fans, only to find the complete opposite (at least as far as the planned ending goes).

[TFulls]

I hope they fix it IM willing to pay for dlc because the ending is just idiotic that's how good the game is up until the end

[erikage]

I'm not going to finish any of my games until the endings are fixed/more are added. Feels bad man.

[nitefyre410]

I want to know why they played the angle they did at the end and then just copped out. With the Catalyst and it whole Organic vs Synthetic reasoning and the solution the Creators going to war with their Progeny. Even The Catalyst reasoning is wrong because there is no "True" solution to its "problem" because the "problem" is much bigger than Organic vs Synthetic.

I've had almost 24 hours to nerd rage over this (and if you look at my previous posts, nerd rage I have).

I'm on my second play through and I actually feel better. Now that I know what's coming, I can 'rationalize' the ending and just get past it. I still want a better ending, but I can at least play the game again now.

[AdmiralCheez]

I'd really appreciate some developer honesty on Dem Endings. Like "this is the point we tried to get across" or "we didn't have the resources to implement what we really wanted to do" or something.

At the very least, a "we goofed and we're sorry" will do. Even if this is exactly how they wanted to end the trilogy (and they're damn proud of it), they really owe it to the fans to at least address all the bad feelings.

And no, this isn't fan entitlement talking.  They initiated a dialogue with their fans, and they need some good PR right now.

I feel like Will Smith in "I am Legend"

"Won't somebody please talk to me...!"

the problem is  not the Downer tone of the ending the problem with the endings at in my eyes. Is that there is no solution to the core conflict and the conflict is never defined.  The Catalyst says that its to keep  Orangics from advancing so far that they would create Synthetics and destroy themselves. The issue with that is through the resolution of the Geth and Quarian Conflict... that line of thought is disproven .  The Creators going to war with there Progeny...well we have Thane and Kolyat, Ashley and her fater,  Wrex and Jocobs elation over being parents. Of course the counter to this is Miranda.   The ending no matter how you look  at them are mess... its going to take more than some epilogue slides to fix that...  The  end game is kind of a mess... thematically and story telling wise... 

The question I keep asking myself is what was the point the Bioware was trying to with the whole  Catalyst? 

[IanPolaris]

Again I am hoping that someone from the Bioware team reads this. I don't feel like I'm asking the moon and stars. We are your customers many of us spend hundreds of hours and identified with YOUR franchise and we feel lost and betrayed.

Even if you don't agree with that, please TALK to us. Please help us understand and explain or failing that please tell us how you plan to make it right.

The longer this goes on, the worse and worse the damage will get. Given the state of modern digital communications, the damage to Bioware as a company may soon be irreperable. Please talk to us before that happens.

Lots of lengthy topics already talking about this. Please take it there.

End of the line.
