[10 Steps Back]

realpokerjedi wrote...

Maybe a extreme plan is this...
Go back, play Mass Effect 2.
Play for the ending where Shepard dies in the collector base.
End series. Pretend Mass Effect 3 doesn't exist.

Nahh despite the disappointing ending the main meat of ME3 was pretty good. So better yet just play until you give Sheps final speech then turn it off, then pretend it ended how you wanted it to end.

We want a sane ending. With blackjack and ****s, relays and normandy. I do not want to "pretend". I want to play the best game in this world. Mass Effect 3 will become the best game in this world if they add a sane ending or two.

The ending of the game was kinda different.
I'm gonna get sooooooooooooo much hate for this but I can easily compare the "choice ending" to inFamous 2. I'm sorry but it soooooooooo reminds me of that.
But yea I played for 26 hours and felt the ending was kinda messed up. Ohh well gotta wait for ME4 then, oooh my bad cause that ain't gonna happen.

[Mresa]

I support this.

Shepard deserves some happiness. This is a game, it should have at least one ending that is really a happy ending among the not so happy endings.

Look bro I don't like pretending either but it's the best current option that Bioware has left us.

[Ashii6]

I am not upset, I'm furious. It's even hard not to think about the endings. I played the multiplayer a few minutes ago, but still my thoughts went back to the endings

[Thormgrim]

Couldn't agree more. I repleayed the final act thrice to see if I couldnt get a sane ending.
Now after venting some heat, I agree with 10StepsBack, I just imagine the ending like I had imagined it before ending the game for real and thats that. I'm still hoping Bioware'll fix this. But in the meantime that'll have to do.

I waited breathlessly after ME1 for ME2 and after ME2 for ME3. My GF dropped $87.38USD for the collectors edition as an anniversary present because she knew "it would make me happy". I did every side quest I could find. I fought past bugs and crashes. I even played some multiplayer just to get my readiness score up. For what? A railroad ride that rips off Star Trek (Borg), Dune (worms), CoD:MW (protaganist heavily injured and waddling to his death), and in one way or another, every sci-fi apocalypse movie ever made with an ending where I gut shoot one of my best friends, watch him die and what's my reward? The best ending I can get is Joker and EDI get to play Adam and Eve in a universe where galactic civilization ends up destroyed anyway. Oh, then to add insult to injury I get a post game message telling me I can add to the Commander Sheperd "legend" with more gameplay and DLCs.

And where do we go from here? Last I heard, Bioware was planning to continue developing the ME universe, just end the Sheperd-fest with ME3. With the mass relays destroyed, it will have to be a prequel, unless we're just gonna run around giant moon world talking to Grandpa about "the Sheperd".

I'm not sure what's worse, wasting a Ben Franklin on what amounts to an interactive movie with a ****ty ending, wasting hundreds and hundreds of hours playing the series to end up commiting seppeku for a "lesser of the evils" type ending (To quote someone above, where's my Disney ending, dammit? Hell, I'd settle for an ending where the Reapers win. At least then I'd feel like my "war readiness" had a point.) or the fact that I have to decide to either lie to my GF and tell her it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, or tell her the truth and cause her to be disappointed because it isn't the awesome gift she wanted it to be.

The mods can ban my account for saying this if they want, but **** you Bioware and **** you EA. Keep the money, but I want that piece of my life I just wasted back.

[EDIT] Having spewed the angry bile festering inside me and had some time to consider it a little more rationally (I had literally beaten the game ten minutes before I posted) I would like to add that what I am truly disappointed by is this: Despite Bioware's crowing about "choices" and "thousands" of  variables based on those, ultimately, nothing I did really mattered because they still ended up telling their story, not mine. After everything I did, the only real effect I had on the game was what color the Crucible spooge was when it bukkake'd the galaxy.

*hugs* Its ok man. You arnt alone. We will get through this one way or another.

If I win the lotto there are gonna be some serious changes to that ending.  I swear to the flying spaghetti monster.

We'll get through it together.... unlike in ME3 apparently :-/.

[loungeshep]

I"m happy with the game. It's perfectly fine. And no I'm no where near the end.

But it'd be nice to have a DLC for a more STar Trekkian ending like where NOrmandy flies off victorious or something.

Never say never though, they did say there's more DLC's planned throughout this next year to a year and a half. So it's possible.

Come back here after you've chosen a end.

[realpokerjedi]

What really annoys me are the fans that think, we aren't as enlightened as them.
You know the ones?
They proclaim how it couldn't be a perfect, rainbow and unicorn ending.
I think most of us wouldn't have a problem with a self sacrificing ending, if it was well written.
They also seem to miss the point that the Mass Effect games themselves were supposed to represent, choice based on the players personality.
In other words, there should be a well written ending for everyone.
I know everyone has a opinion but I do not know who could possibly think these endings are good, besides bioware that is.
What pisses me off the most is, this horrible excuse of a script leaked and they still couldn't fix it, after the horrible back lash.

I probably will. And I"ll probably defend why I still love the game, and the whole trilogy, and I"ll probably use Star Trek as my defense.

And then the end of my post there'll be six choices, well three with different variants. And the epilogue will be that I still like the Trilogy and my enjoyment of it is not ruined.

I was happy with the game, when I was no where near the end too.
I really hope you enjoy it, will save you lots of letdown.
I have said it many times, I don't see how anyone could like this ending.

I told myself that too...
Then 20 hours into it, I was trolled by Bioware and trolled well.

I think for everyone to say the ending is a disappointment is, well... I think it's a relatively small number right now because I dunno how many people have played as much as we have to beat it this quickly. One of the things I loved about the ME games, barring 3, was how the endings you got were a consequence of choices you made during gameplay. Didn't want to put in the time to make your companions loyal to you in ME2? Sorry, but you just got them all killed, without knowing it. Felt like being a jerk in ME1? Well, ME2 and ME3 just got a lot harder and you prevented some good things from happening.

I literally just beat the game 10 minutes ago, so this is still... pretty fresh. I don't like how previous choices determined my ending any further than how much paragon score I have. This is exactly the same problem I have with a game like Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It's an action game claiming to be an RPG, with a push-button ending.

Beyond that, ME, until this game, tried to be relatively hard scifi. If you read the codex entries a lot of detail was put into these games on trying to make it as real as possible, barring FTL travel and things like biotics. Still, this game decided to ignore all of that and just go with wishy-washy space-opera style ending with a ghost of a child or something and a big ball of "energy" leaping out into the cosmos that can somehow (depending on your ending) make EVERY living thing start sprouting glowing circuitry? Furthermore there are no real answers to any of the questions posed nor an ending that felt satisfying for the time spent on these games and the emotional investment they've engendered.

I would be okay with my other gripes if the ending weren't both poorly executed and just generally a bad way to end the series. I wouldn't mind the extremely limited squad selection (compared to the number of people in ME2) or the short playtime (Compared to every other good BioWare RPG) or even some of the bugs.

ME3 certainly had moments where it shined, but it's all just tarnished now. I'm reconsidering my initial idea to play through the entire trilogy again, because it all seems... pointless. If all my previous choices amounted to me just choosing one of three possible endings by pushing a button, then what in the hell was all my hard work for? I can push a button any damn day I please. In fact, in order to complain about this, I had to push several buttons, in sequence. But if I want to see choices play out and their consequences... blech, I guess I'll just have to go play the Witcher games.

Oh, and is anybody else thinking of crashing the Mass Effect panel at PAX East in 20-something days and complaining about this huge letdown? I think it'd be better to actually say it to their faces.

Well, that explains a lot. Much of the hate is coming from vindictive Dragon Age fans. Good to know.

Here, let's play the Mass Effect trilogy. Ready? Okay, press 1, 2, or 3. DONE!

[KMxHearts]

When the credits rolled I screamed at the top of my lungs. They got so much right at first, but then I had to sit and watch while BioWare destroyed a franchise I loved more than any other. Those last minutes are excruciating.

There are also some horrible implications to the ending I got. All those aliens are trapped on Earth! Those turians? What the hell are they going to eat? All those quarians who just reclaimed their homeworld? STUCK ON EARTH. The Normandy crew stuck on some alien planet? If that's not a dextro planet Garrus and Tali are screwed. If it's not levo, only Garrus and Tali will live!

I used to love playing Commander Shepard because I controlled the path she took. It was up to me to earn a happy ending. Now that has been taken from me. The entire Mass Effect universe is dead as we know and love it because of crappy writing.

I hope with all of my heart they follow Fallout 3's example and make a DLC that changes the ending somehow. I would pay for it, I know a lot of fans would pay for it. This isn't fair.

At the risk of excessive tunneling, likewise. My plans to marathon the trilogy just shriveled up and died with my almost fanboy-ish enthusiasm for the series.

Don't worry, we will go to Edmonton and protest in person.

I would willingly spend another 5 or 10 dollars for a new ending DLC, this was game was already worth the money I spent on it and I have no issues with spending a little more to literally make it perfect.

I'm not going to lie, the ending upset me. In every other ME game before, it would allow you to continue after you have beaten it, leaving room for more DLC options with it ACTUALLY MAKING SENSE. By trying to shove more content into the game that you have to do while earth still gets demolished is a little bit redundant. On top of that, one thing it could have done like ME2 was the more you built up your forces, the better the outcome, with a possibility of a perfect ending. That doesn't happen here. No matter what you do your options are: Die, die, and die (or barely live, but the game still ends) no matter how much you build your forces. The only difference it makes is whether or not you take earth back, which is redundant if you are never going to see it.

BioWare even said so themselves that people feel connected to "their Shepard" and the reason they play the game is to see what happens to Shepard. To end up just killing him off even after potentially investing so much into it to make it your very own specially crafted story, whether or not you played the first 2 games, just defeats the purpose. And with him goes the Mass Relays, so basically even if he did live in the end, the story is still over because there is no more deep space travel. The Galactic civilization would theoretically crumble even though you just gave your life to save it.

I want a DLC where Shepard lives and the Mass Relays remain intact, so I can continue to play as "My Shepard"

I personally hope they don't take the DLC path. Why should I have to give them more money for an ending that they should've supplied in the first place? I don't want to pay for a DLC for them to provide me with an ending that doesn't destroy everything in the series. I shouldn't have to. BioWare used to be better than this. This should be patched, and then we'll see how I feel about spending my money from there on out.

I forgot to also mention they left the aliens in varying places with no way to get off them considering the Mass Relays were destroyed. Either way, this was my SAME EXACT REACTION.
