You realize all the evidence points to ME4 right? (or at least large, post-ultimatum DLC)

Here's the thing. If you have beaten the game twice using the same character, and you have full military power then you get the "perfect ending".

Some of you may not know this, but it is possible to see what happens when the Normandy's door opens. Joker comes out with EDI or someone else + some other person and looks off into the horizon. (proof: )

Also to take into consideration, in the clip after the credits, the planet they're on has the same horizon (with different alignment of planetary bodies, but still the same planetary bodies)

Also, take a look in your directories.
Program Files (x86)\\\\Origin Games\\\\Mass Effect 3\\\\BIOGame\\\\Movies
You'll notice there's a file named: "End03_Shepard_Alive_Male" and it's counterpart for female. Here is what this file shows:

The relays may still be destroyed, but as the post-credits movie explains, "It's getting late but, ok. One more story."

This all points to Bioware actually knowing what they're doing. It's very poorly explained, and I can't see how they can pick it up from here, but all of this is too much of a cliffhanger to simply stick by their guns and say "this is the end of shepards journey". This also would explain the major lack of explanation on certain things... What if there's more? What is BioWare has something else big planned?

A part of me knows BioWare wouldn't sh** on our hopes and dreams by killing off the worlds best videogame epic. What if they actually know what they're doing, and they have something even more special planned for us?

I interpreted the "one more story" line as to why you're back in the Normandy sailing around the galaxy, but Iunno.

I've been trying to tell others this.

-End of Shepard's story
-bleak but not final ending
-Galaxy's story will continue

I'm only incredibly annoyed at the Normandy weirdness, and the Citadel just...dying?? wtf.

But the fate of the galaxy? It's rather interesting and I do get a hint at what Bioware may want to do with our ME3 save files...

they killed my shepard and everyone i care about was stuck on some forsaken planet and relays are destroyed.
this is not mass effect anymore. i don't see the point of playing the game. Middle-game DLC? who cares, that doesn't change ending. Post-End? bhahahaha.... yep.

I originally pondered that, but then I decided that he wouldn't say that to replay the last mission, nor did I think BioWare would add that to add insult to injury if this is indeed all we get.

This makes me think that it is not talking about replaying the Mass Effect series.

I dunno how they're going to do that considering the entire galaxy is cut off from one another. I think the endings made it plain that the trilogy and story was over. If they ever make another Mass Effect game, it will likely be an MMO set during the Reaper invasion.

Maybe you're right, only time will tell. I know that I'll buy ME4 if it ever exists.

My primary reasoning was that the "Use this for DLC" message popped up right after it, meaning that the new story would be the forthcoming DLC.

I much prefer your scenario though :D I love this series and desperately want to see more. Not an MMO though,

I, too, would get ME4. Because Bioware's storytelling is still second to none.

Even if the ending hurts more than any breakup I've been through.

I really hope they don't make us wait for another year and a half possibly even 2 years for the explanation of all of this I hope they do drop a DLC that will explain more, I'm even willing to pay for it if I have to, that's how bad I really want to know what happens to you Shepard character if she/he survives

Doesn't matter. Was promised an end to the trilogy, left disappointed.

I disagree. I think 3 games worth of variables has boxed them into a point where it's become impractical for them to continue. But I will always hope. If only a little.

It doesn't matter if they're still going to do something with it, they could have ended it better and set it up for an epic DLC anyways.

People seem to be thinking in rather small terms here. "What about my Shepard? Everyone's gonna die! We lost anyway!" No.

-Shepard's story is ended, meaning in this case, death or at least 'no more fighting'. It's gonna suck for him either way, yet Mass Effect makes a point that systems across the galaxy will be immortalizing him.
-Normandy stuff just may be explained. I'm holding out hope, at least.
-I'm also hoping that the ME3 save file is used to determine 'state of the galaxy' for a future game. The endings are NOT as wildly different as you may think, but provide some pretty awesome story possibilities without being 'tied down' by Shepard's experiences anymore.

There will be no Mass Effect game with Shepard anymore, thus no "ME4."

2)

Refer to one.

God I hope it isn't an MMO. Kotor had been dead for some years before it was picked up as an MMO, so that wasn't too bad. Definately wasn't great, but wasnt too bad.

I think making an MMO out of this would only worsen the wound that has been left on our hearts, especially considering how fresh this wound is.

Bioware, please dont plague us with another dead end Story-Based MMORPG based on our favorite video game experiences.

ME4 is just a codename. I'm almost sure it wouldn't have that name, but something related.

My guess. All games set in the Mass Effect galaxy will be be hundreds if not thousands of years in the future after ME3.

There will be no established canon, its enough time to develop new technology and they can go anywhere.

Taking bets now the first game will be a first person or third person shooter as a human where you go to war against Krogan or Turians in a kind of claiming of the stars after everyone discovers warp 9.95

Either that or an MMO set 2000 years after ME3.

"Mass Effect 4" would refer to something like "A Game, Set in the Mass Effect Universe, That Is Released After Mass Effect 3." Not a continuation of Shepard's story - although I'd love to have that, they're currently covering too many different things so far.

They went from "lots of major decisions that would make it impossible to have a game chronologically follow" to "three major decisions that would radically alter the world, making it impossible to have a game chronologically follow."

I mean, unless there's a canonical ending. Which would suck, but be understandable. If there is a canonical ending, it's *probably* the good red ending.

Stop trying to defend it. Bioware has admitted in an article that they never had a concrete plan. They were just winging it.

I interpreted the "one more story" in the epilogue as DLC, especially since a window popped up right after that saying, "Buy DLC!" and Shep is jarringly back on the Normandy.

This isn't to say that there won't be another game in the Mass Effect universe, but I doubt Shepard will be the central character.

Yeah, but aside from the ending, how has "winging it" turned out for them? Pretty spectacular. If anyone could wing it out of this mess, I trust Bioware to do it.

Nope, imo it would deal with not the Reapers, but their supposed masters. Reapers are now established as almost a slave race themselves (on the cosmic scale), doing the work of a larger entity witnessing it all on the Citadel, as a grand experiment (which Shepard just solved and averted). Another series could expand on this further, with the Reapers being less of a focus.
