What if the scene after the credits, with Stargazer and the little kid, is just a grandpa telling the kid a story and everything in the games never really happened.

Then you should stop wasting your time at some fanfiction site.

It will ease the pain I'm having from the "screw yourself" ending we got.

I know right? At this time and point I can't even play any Mass Effect game. I don't know if I ever will.

Or years down the road after every one in the game is dead. Just like FF7, 500 years after.

Mass Effect 3 has the best combat gameplay I've experienced from any game ever, and even that can't get me to replay it right now. Eventually, I'll jump into multiplayer, but my enthusiasm and love for this franchise died as soon as the catalyst appeared.

Completely agreed. I loved this series so much. and was beyond excited to play Mass Effect 3. LOVED it as I was playing through it until....the end. I still can't find the words to how depressing it is.

I met Catalyst and my entire world just screamed YOU'RE PLAYING DEUS EX!
just that loudly too.

I loved the series and I thought 3 was great until the ending. Thinking about it this way makes it a bit easier on the suck.

At least that kind of made sense. And it was a happier ending because you see that everything you did resulted in the world being saved.
ME3 not so much. The relays are destroyed which means all the people in the allied fleets fighting the reapers are stuck at earth, which has been absolutly decimated by the war.

As soon as the Catalyst appeared, I literally said aloud: "No...no way...not this game, not Mass Effect..." And it went into complete shock and disbelief. I never thought I'd ever say I hated anything about the Mass Effect series---this is it, on so many levels. I read somewhere on this forum that they said they have big plans for the game, to not get rid of it yet...But I don't see how they can pull this one out of the fire. I just don't see it.

Too elaborate Deus Ex was always about "what makes one human?" and "what is evolution?" et cetera, people actually got into debates about whether the evolution of mankind was through technology or if technology was perverting the natural cycle. Mass Effect, a series that was more about unity or results at any cost, randomly shoehorns in a message about transhumanism in the form of an annoyingly omnipotent ghost child known as the Catalyst/Guardian. When a single character and cutscene kills your entire enthusiasm for the entire bleeding series, you've ****ed up, you've ****ed up bad. I don't know what Bioware was thinking but if I had to guess they wanted to try to be faux deep to stroke the egos of pseudointellects who think dark = deep and instead completely derail the story and than destroy the series.
But you know it's not like my or anyone's opinion matters...and yes I posted in the damned official thread.

Deus Ex, which came out in the year 2000, had 3 endings:
- Cause the Collapse/ a new Dark Age, which is basically ME3's Destroy ending
- Rule the world with the Illuminati, which is basically the Control ending
- Merge with Helios (super powerful AI), which is basically the merge ending
The whole thing literally just plays out like a carbon copy of Deus Ex's endings, except the galaxy is back to the Stone Ages no matter which one you pick.

Game was fantastic. Great build-up. Great conversations. Great characters. Justifiable deaths.
And then the game ended so abruptly in such a... ******** way that I cannot even begin to want to make a new Shepard and take him/her through to the end of the trilogy.
Why do it when I know Bioware claims to have -- what? -- 16 endings, and all of them lead to the same conclusion?
I'm just sick of it. I thought DAII was a fluke. Maybe Bioware just wanted to be done with Shepard. I hope they have better plans for the ME universe.

I've seen the "Shepard lives" endings on youtube, but it still looks like he was goddamn vaporized. Idk if that was mislabeling on the uploaders part or just Bioware sucking >.>

It's funny, I raged at the inclusion of multiplayer when it was announced, and now it's pretty much the only reason I'd ever touch ME3 again. Not that it's all that great, but at least it doesn't end with a malicious, tacked-on punch in the guts.

The game is amazing, until the last fifteen minutes. Here's hoping they fix that.
Multiplayer is a fun diversion, but lacks staying power, IMO.

I think you're missing the point of the post-credits scene. It means that Shepard saved the galaxy and his/her legend lives on.
Also if you notice, the planet in the last scene seems to be the same one that the Normandy crashed on. You can tell because the sky is relatively the same.
I was nervous about the endings, but if you look at them, they've a lot open to interpretation as well.
Example, if Shepard destroys the Reapers, he could make it out of the citadel and wind up on the same planet that the Normandy crashed on, reuniting with his LI.
If Shepard controls the Reapers, he arguably becomes the new Catalyst/Guardian and wields godlike powers over the reapers and their science. He could have his body reconstructed and sent to the new planet just before returning the Reapers to dark space and hitting their off switch.
If Shepard merges the organics and synthetics. Well, I don't see any way he could make it out of that one.

It's pretty sad when the highlight of a Mass Effect game is mediocre multiplayer.
No, he couldn't. Mass Relays are gone. He's stranded on the Citadel.

Even if they want to make a ME MMO there are a lot of ways to do the ending without having it completely ruin 5 years of Mass Effect. Even barring the completely ****ty lack of closure and Catalyst **** the ending still did not make any sense at all.
