LPetty6: if they wanted the reapers to stay intact and kill their "brains" they could've just used an emp.... Not saying your wrong and I respect your optimism but the fact remains that 1. I don't want to have to wait another 1 1/2 for this sadness of this game to find out what's happened, counting if they even make another. 2. The endings don't explain enough and bioware specifically said this game will answer all of your questions if not all then most, but they failed to do even that... But I will say I envy you for how you got the satisfaction you were looking for, because I'd say 1/2 if not more then 1/2 of the people who bought ME3 didn't get that satisfaction only depression because of it

I'm just really really upset about this because I love this game so much but just to know that nothing you do matters is ludacris and kills me wanting to play the game again, I'm trying to right now as I type on my iPhone but it's still just too hard, maybe If I get a lot more war assets things might change but I'm just so upset because I was figuring that oh Shepard will win and come back a hero, and this is what I want my character to make a difference an save the universe while surviving with all the teammates, I don't know of any of you played GOW2 but I really liked how they dropped the separate campaign part for how Dom wished to evade or kill all of the locust after finding Maria almost dead, I hope they drop something like this for this game and allow you to choose which type of ending to play the original crappy ending we all had to end up with or a separate DLC that will change the end game entirely, I'm even willing to pay for it if they drop another (and I'm not counting the from ashes DLC as the new DLC I'm referring to)

If they had ended it how we expected them to I think it would have left something to be desired, left us looking for some kind of bang that never came. I liked the ending (my particular ending not the others) but I definately wish there was more about companions and LI and what not, come on Bioware have a heart! I love this universe and the characters and I hope this isn't it. 

(Speaking of a bang that never came, Harbringer was remarkably absent in this game. I know he blew us up with his laser but besides that he was almost non-existant in this game when he was such a huge force in ME2 being all up in our face.)

My ending was just a really bad one, I went paragon and no matter the choice I made Shepard died and im a strong believer in good triumphs over evil, it did in this game but at too much of a price games that have the protagonist living in the end to make a difference for the rest of the world are ultimately in my opinion better because they can actually rely on a leader that has made that difference

 My problem with the endings is the lack of explanation. If they had explained why the crew was stranded  I just want an explanation, an epilogue like in DA:O would have been suffiecent. I put so much of my life into this series and then to not know what happens to the universe is hurtful.

Often times seemingly random things are not random at all, we just don't know the purpose. Perhaps Bioware will make it evident to us, perhaps they are setting something up. I'd give em time.

here's hoping

I highly recommend trying out my ending, not sure if it's war assets or what that keeps him alive in the destroy ending though. I think seeing your Sheperd take that breath at the end will do wonders for you.

Just finished and the ending is very vague . Hate how you save edi and Geth and then wipe them out WTF although since it is not shown maybe this does not happen as I said vauge .The only way for shepard to live is to murder friends and allies nice touch there,as for destruction I think you can infer that the citadel and relays do not explode they simply short circuit and stop working as you can see by reapers on earth collapsing not exploding.
Bioware said the would end the story without leaving questions this was an obvious lie because the ending is nothing but questions.

NO...im pretty sure i saw the citadels arms break off and a lot of relays blow up. as for the reapers...ill give you that one.

LPetty6: people are saying that if your war assets and EMS what ever that is isn't high enough your character dies, but to add to my depressed ending I left my car windows down all day today an it started to rain about 1 1/2 hours ago so my car seats are soaked T_T so I got a bad ME3 ending plus a wet interior of a car... Not a good day for me today

[LPetty6]

Parker: Wow..I did that once not fun. I'm sorry man, I'm trying to get you into my optimistic rationality for the ending because besides DLC fixing it that's the only thing ruining this game for me. I implore you to save yourself and follow me! =)

My issue with the ending.

1. Why did Tali and Garrus magically get on the Normandy WHEN I BROUGHT THEM WITH ME TO GO TO THE CATALYST AND THEY WERE SITTING IN THE TRUCK WITH ME?

2. Why didn't my squad-mates come up the beam with me?

3.Where is everyone else?

4. Why should I care about some grandpa and kid in the super future with no space flight? "Tell me about the 'Shepard' again HURRR" I don't know why but that sentance just rubbed me the wrong way.

5. more stuff but I'm tired

Over all these endings felt like (And I hate saying this because it's silly) a slap in the face for a series that was built over 3 games to end like that with no conclusion it was just stupid and frustrating.

I just feel like they didn't know how to end the game and just winged it.

[AxisEvolve]

They're not going to devote resources to continuing Shepard's story when he dies in most people's play-throughs. I'm sorry but it just won't happen.

Also EDI the individual could be imitated but never duplicated after she is destroyed.

I think synthesis is the best ending. But it could have been A LOT better.

[Parker Stephenson]

LPetty6: I'm going to give the game another run through to try and redo something I may have messed up, because as long as I see that Shepard lives then this game will be fine, I just don't like the endings where your character dies its not cool, but I'll definitely try

tell that to tali and garrus:(

In Mass Effect Ascension the quarians can eat turian cuisine that's been purified of bactiria, so I'm sure the reverse is also true.

[Storenumber9]

Pretty much, the main (abridged) reasons why people hate the endings:

1.) It makes all of your choices from games 1 to 3 pointless.

2.) It gives giant plotholes that you can drive the Normandy through.

3.) It takes all of those (now pointless) options and tries to fit them into three neat little ending packages that pretty much resemble each other. (Do you want a red apple, or a green apple?)

4.) There is no closure with the characters, or with the ME world in general.

5.) Joker's actions don't make sense, and to me, I think it was out of character for him.

That's pretty much it.

I find this rather funny. So basically this thread is about you trying to convince yourself that the endings are actually good because you're assuming we're stuck with them?  I can understand that I guess. But you seem to be grasping at straws here to defend the ending. A few examples:

-Reapers destroyed, although geth and all sythetic life including ED but
it was worth the sacrafice. They are just machines after all, they can
be rebuilt.

Just machines? ME2 and ME3 tried to show us exactly the opposite. Shepard survives but only by commiting genocide, how many people do you think can really accept that outcome?

LPetty6 wrote...
3. The species you mention are on Earth and in fleets in HUGE
numbers, they probably brought a lot of food! Enough to last them long
enough to use Reaper tech to return home.

I'm relatively certain they'd bring weapons instead of food. But hey, it's not like Bioware really thought all of this through anyway. They just open a ton of plotholes and then just give us "the end". And that for a game where the entire point was to help shape the galaxy, the make you care about all of your choices, and at the very end of it all they go "who cares what happens". Like I said before, it's almost as if the endings weren't made by Bioware, I can't understand how anyone at Bioware could have thought this was what people wanted. And it would appear I'm definitely not the only one dissapointed.

4. Even so, the ending was enough for me. You can always use your imagination.

People were looking for closure, to see what all their choices in previous games led to. "Use your imagination" doesn't cut it here.

Ahm, no spaceflight? Is the grandpa not saying the kid could go to space some day?

I beat the game tonight and after meditating on it a while...I'm actually quite satisfied. Not every minor detail, choice, individual or event needs be exposited for an ending to be good or to give closure. Yeah, that stuff would have been nice but when you get down to it, intragalactic politics and huge, galaxy-shaking events aside, the trilogy itself really was just about Shepard. There's nothing really wrong with that.

That's not to excuse other issues I had with the ending, I had quite a few but that's neither here nor there for the moment. As far as your choices, well they played out through the course of the game itself and I can't complain.
