noticed, are up in arms about the endings for Mass Effect 3. Casey Hudson
stated we would have closure, a great ending in this interview:

Sadly, that is not the case. When you first introduced Mass Effect, you brought
in a loyal fanbase who fell in love with a system that gave them choice on how
to develop their characters and options on what kind of hero we wanted to be
and where our choices would affect the endings. In Mass Effect 2, those choices
carried over and branched off into even more options and choices to shape our
hero even further. The whole Mass Effect series is a game that circles around
this very principle; we, the player base, have choices and can shape our hero
however we wish that will effect the overall ending. So, I am left here
pondering, why in the world would you, in the end, present us with endings
where none of the choices, made in the span of three games really mattered?
I honestly feel as if you have robbed me. You have robbed me of a variety of
endings, you have robbed from me the belief that the choices made in the game
would affect anything. You bragged on how this choice and decision making
system would give you a somewhat different game and different endings, but then
give us 'closure' in three different ways all having the same underlying taste
in the end. Again, Bioware, you have robbed me, and probably others. And mister
Hudson, pardon my language, but if this is your idea of a 'great ending' then
allow me to say that you, sir, are a f***ing tool.
You gave us three games. Three games worth of choices and decisions that our
hero could make. The 'great ending' should also have been an option, along with
all the ones presented already. If you decide to add a dlc to appease the fan
base, well, that will show where your minds truly are. Instead of focusing on
making a great game to conclude a wonderful series from the start and truly
appeasing your loyal fanbase, you're more concerned with lining your pockets with
the profit the dlc will generate (Let's face it, I am sure many in this
community would buy a dlc that would present them with the 'great ending'
stated by mister Hudson). If a representative informs us to have a coke and a
smile, this is just the way it is, then in the above interview, I will consider
you having lied to me and will protest by never buying a game from the company.
I do not appreciate it being insinuated I will have options, when clearly I did
not.
The point that I am trying to make is, you created a game where our choices
supposedly 'mattered' and would effect our endings. I fail to see how, as
someone put it, three flavors of vanilla are enough options to conclude our
hero's story. I can understand that 'closure' has been accomplished, but the
'great ending' has not. I am disappointed that for all the choices I made and
all the playthroughs (Did a reckless Shepard and a good Shepard across the
games just to have options) that none of that mattered, I am still going to be
stuck with plain vanilla, vanilla with with beans, and vanilla yogurt.
I am just disappointed and probably disgruntled and wanted to share. I do not
know how many others would agree with me, but here is my overall opinion. Thank
you for reading the rants of a once devoted fan that is now just flabbergasted
with the amount of 'options' that were actually truly given to conclude the series.
