I'm curious. Anyone know if any gaming media sites have made articles detailing any disappointments with ME3's endings?

There's this one, but the vast majority just seem to be skirting the issue.

Quoted from the article:

It's very rare for the ending of a game to completely sour the experience, but Mass Effect 3's ending comes very close to souring the entire franchise. It's not something I can describe in detail, but it's hard to imagine any player feeling satisfied with the ending. After spending three games with characters like Garrus and Tali, it is absolutely brutal for a game to end this way. Instead of a natural conclusion, the Mass Effect trilogy ends with a whimper.

Don't hold your breath. IGN is probably in the payrole. They gave the game a 9.5 and said it was one of the best ending ever.

I want to ask if they have even played any of the other games.


Exactly.

And I think there is a major differences between fans of the series and players that start (really, end) the series with ME3. Plus I have you seen the ME3 rewind trailers IGN did? They got SO much of their facts wrong. Any average player of the series wouldn't have said or confused the crap they did. Just bad.




The game sucked because Garrus Vakarian took up too much of their time :P

There is also a certain NPC in the game who has some "ties" to them. Not like that would affect their review or anything like that.

You realize this is a long shot right?

It's more of a shot than we had before. And let's be honest - Bioware has a long-standing tradition of listening to fans when it comes to the Mass Effect series.


True...but
I'd rather be pessimistic. That way I'll be pleasantly surprised if it
turns out to be what we're asking for. Besides, I was incredibly hopeful
for Mass Effect 3 and that ending hurt me so much inside I was lying in
my bed at 4am in the morning trying to sleep but I just couldn't
because I hated it so much (I ended up not sleeping).


I did this, except i was crying...though i did fall asleep. 



That was basically me last night... I'm still over-emotional today and I'm having trouble eating... I mean...I have to commend bioware for making a game series so engaging and characters so lovable that an ending like that makes me feel like a member of my immediate family died. Nothing has ever come close...

...but I still feel like a member of my family died. That's not exactly a good thing... I feel heartbroken and betrayed... I would gladly shell out money if it meant I could get an ending where shepard and Garrus could get married and adopt a bunch of krogan kids like they talked about near the end....

If I wasn't such a completionist...(Woo 5 useless war assets!)
But she just sits in Zaeed's old room. Who oddly enough I used to visit more than her. At least I smiled everytime he said something.

Wow, that ending isn't original or cliche'd at all....

I don't get how some of you can expect happy bunny endings with the considered circumstances. I'm just as big of a ME fan as you all are and I wasn't expecting anything good in the slightest. We were fighting Reapers, god-like sentient machines that are impossible to kill. Did you think that certain technologies and lives would not be sacrifice to achieve not just victory, but life?

Bioware did not betray you. Bioware gave you an ending that makes sense, that was realistic, and that was necessary. All that everyone wants here is to live, to see nothing bad happen, and to see glimpses of Liara getting pregnant while Shepard is drinking with Garrus at a bar. The Mass Effect series was meant to get darker as the final controntation with the Reapers came, and you guys are wanting a story format that follows an episode of Teletubbies. 

Get real. This story was about death, loss, and the sacrifice of Shepard to preserive life and to give all the other beings the opportunity Shepard never happen - to settle down and live with friends and loved ones without having to fight. 

Also, I like some of your guys supposed better endings. The one where Shepard is all of the sudden full of energy, where he somehow destroys the Catalyst or whatever and does all these magnificent stunts, maybe with even Anderson at his side...uh, hello? HE GOT REAPER LASERED. Shepard is on the verge of death when the final decision came, you actually think he had the energy to keep going? Once more, get real.

And there is no alternative ending DLC coming. Just because Gamble tweets about something coming, doesn't mean that they had all these alternative endings set in place because they figured this might happen - face it, it's not going to happen, so shut the hell up and accept it and move on. 

I've seen worse endings to series in games, films, and books and this one was pretty good. Take a step back and peer at what really happened instead of complaining about the subplots that would be entirely meaningless of Shepard did not sacrifice himself to destroy the Reapers.

Because Garrus is a badass. B) In all seriousness, if Garrus wasn't in the game or got the same treatment other ME2 LIs got....I would rage. :devil:

LIs aside, the missions and the characters are the only aspects of ME3 that I am focusing on. I try to avoid any thoughts of the ending when I am playing it because otherwise I will get depressed, pissed off and have a horrible feeling of hopelessness....and I probably wouldn't care about collecting the War Assets since it barely impacts the ending...

No they are not . They are making ban threats to people who post they are not happy about all the locked threads about endings though . The mega thread has returned so i will keep my ending comments there from now on although I will not post much I have shared my thoughts here hopefully they have something good in the pipes.I will for the first time ever do a meta critic review though solid 8/10 game lowered to 6/10 do to the last 20 minutes.

Yeah...and she got paid to do that. What the hell....

I only check on her when I am visiting Prothy. He is the only reason I even go on that floor. The Engineers don't say anything of interest...and Allers/Chobot annoys me.

This is the only site I found that actually gave a honest opinion of the game.

Thanks for your opinion, Thalorin.

People are really upset right now, because they're very attached to *their* Shepards, and the bond they made with their companions. Isn't that why a lot of us play video games, to have some form of escapism? None of us want to play entirely realistic games - I mean, even games like Sims give you the ability to do things completely out of your league. So saying that the ending is "realistic" is a moot point for most.

I think almost everyone will agree that the series was right in having darker endings. But most people here wanted at least *one* lighter option. There's nothing wrong with both.

Except that these endings are NOT realistic and DO NOT make sense given the context of the universe that they've established. It also completely breaks all the internally-consistent rules they've developed and transforms from surprisingly hard science fiction with a solid grounding in what we know of physics today into some cliché anime ending.

I don't want to see any variations of the endings currently presented by the game nor what you mentioned. I want to see the characters behaving like themselves with a situation that makes sense - not a Normandy in FTL at a time that would require it to be in two places at once, with characters aboard her that were clearly dead because I took them with me in the last mission. The Crucible should've just unleashed a control signal to disable or slow down the reapers and give the galaxy a fighting chance. That's all. No need for this weird bull****. This even lets TIM keep his "control the reapers" idea.

Wait how can the relays be intact if they were overloaded?

Anderson isn't synthetic and didn't have all the experiences you did.

No, I just understand them and want to make sure people hate them the proper way instead of hating them because they don't understand them and then hating them because they don't like them even though they don't understand them and so can't even know.

Basically I like to give people better information so they can hate them more accurately, I don't like the feeling that going through it again gives me and I don't like that all my assets didn't matter. And I know that part will never be fixed.

"I've seen worse endings"  isn't exactly a rining endoresment.  As for this constant refrain about a happy ending being unrealistic, happy endings are also completely unrealistic in the first two games, yet both contain them.  All RPGs that follow the model of a handful of heros are going to prevent the end of the world are unrealistic.  It's escapism and far too many people have come to consider grimm as analogous to cool.

More import however is the fact that there doesn't need to be any conflict about which type of ending was best, because it's a game and Bioware had the opportunity to include endings that make EVERYONE happy.  If you prefer the universe in a technological dark age while you crew mates are stranded on a random alien world, HAVE AT IT!  This need not be forced on all of us.

You're not really going on facts or evidence on how they are out of touch with the consistent universe, you're just putting your own opinion over what happened. I also don't watch anime, but from what I know, most anime is really based in a universe where sentient machines are destroying everything.

The Crucilbe trying to control or signal Reapers wouldn't make sense because nobody has been able to study the Reapers. The Crucible is the work of many civilizations passed down and this is because it's the work to destroy the Reapers once and for all, not 'weaken' them. I don't see the universal confusion over the Normandy either - it's not like the Normandy was far from Earth, and it seems that Shepard and Anderson went balls out and kept on going while others kept back. Once the blast came, be it blue, green, or red...nobody knew what it was, so Joker trying to escape it fearing it would destroy them is also reasonable.

BUT...BUT I CANT USE IMAGINATION.

The happy endings in the first two games were more understandable as the odds could still be tipped. In the third, there was never a chance except one dire effort against the Reapers and that's what you saw. 

Just because RPG's follow the format of the hero living and happy endings, even past Bioware games, doesn't mean that all of them should. While I also enjoy escapism, I want to find it more gratifying knowing that an impact was made rather than a copout where rainbows fill space. Tell me why you aren't happy. Is it because you didn't get YOUR desired conclusion with every single character and race? The point is is that the story of Shepard ended when he died and when the Reapers died. 

Like I said, if you expected the Citadel and the Mass Relays and everything to be intact and fine, that's not good thinking storywise. And just because everything is destroyed, that does not mean one day that Humans and Turians and Salarians and Krogan will one day meet each other in the stars. What I saw at the end was hope because now everyone has a living chance.

You must be talking about a different game. Nothing about the ending they gave made sense. This has nothing to do with being "dark", this is all about terribly written, incoherent and lacking any meaningful choice. 
In a game that is marketed as being ALL about choices, having three small variations of ONE ending that don't have anything to do with ANY of the three games is UNACCEPTABLE.

In a game that is marketed as being ALL about choices, having three small variations of ONE ending that don't have anything to do with ANY of the three games is UNACCEPTABLE.


Are you being serious?

First, list off on how this game is terribly written and incoherent. If I remember correctly, and many others on here would agree, there were actually critical choices made throughout the game and I found the dialogue to be very smooth and well written. 

The decisions you made throughout the series lead up to the point at the end WHERE THEY GIVE YOU CHOICES. I mean, I don't know...deciding the outcome of the direction of the entire universe isn't a big deal or anything. Jeez. You made these decisions to this point and this point was how to deal with the Reapers and how life will go on in the universe - be it synethic and organic combination, control, or just organics.

What exactly did you want? I think you're just spewing without comprehending.
