I'm actually now looking forward to the ending, because in my ~25 years of gaming this is the first time I've ever heard of an ending so bad that people called on the developers to go back and fix it after the fact, i.e an ending so legendarily bad it's good, but for all the wrong reasons.

So wait, let me get this right.

The ending is so epically
bad it actually good ?
Wait ... what ?

I don't want to rush the experience at all, but this has me so damn curious. Because I am finding the meat of the game so good that it is just hard to believe that I am going to get hit in the balls that hard at the end. If it is anywhere near as bad as I am hearing, then all I can say is they must have dropped the ball something fierce in order to mess up the rest that is otherwise great.

Well, have you ever eaten a meal that tasted incredible, but suddenly punched you in the testicles with spiked-brass knuckles after the last bite?

It makes me want to take whoever even thought of that up by the shoulders and shake them violently yelling "WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!" until they get brain damaged from an adult version of shaken baby syndrom,

I agree with OP. I mean, after you end this game, you'll be terribly depressed for a day or two...

*stares sadly* Yeah, that's how I felt something like 40 hours of gameplay ago. "It can't be as bad as my friends said, it's just so awesome so far! What could come along and ruin this? It's the journey that matters, not the ending! Even if it isn't what I was hoping, it'll have to at least be kinda good..." 

It's 6am. I haven't slept all night. That's how depressing I found the ending to be. I waited for years... for this?

The thing is this: I'm not interested in a bad ending or a good ending; I merely want a satisfactory conclusion to Mass Effect 3 that fits.

Yeah. Bittersweet or no, all I wanted was to feel like the series had come to a close. 

I don't. I feel like I just watched a train wreck. Like DA2's railroading happened all over again. That's about it.

This is the one time I would've preferred my own quote thingy I made up for "Leviathan" the hypothetical lead Reaper:

"For an eternity, we watched, we waited, we sewed. We reaped. For an eternity we thought ourselves immortal. For an eternity, we thought ourselves gods. Until now, we were right. As the darkness gathers, as I am consumed in the dark end of mortality, as I watch my comrades torn to pieces by their own ignorance, I can not help but sense a great sadness dwelling within my core. The irony of our end is immense and crushing. These bacteria, these small, fragile accidents of nature, these organics, rip and blow us apart with their primitive weapons of rock. They are truly the vanguards of our destruction. They existed because we allowed it, and now we end, because they demand it."

well now that i read what the ending actually entails..............it makes less sense then Lost when you miss a few episodes, and that is a accomplishment right there, granted its one of few accomplishments a storyteller should strive to NEVER, EVER do.

you should never make such a convoluted, confusing ending unless the entire story was confusing and convoluted, and even then only if it was confusing and convoluted INTENTIONALLY, which i can't think of a single storyteller on the top of my head who would do that.

Hey man, Neon Genesis Evangelion came out a long time ago.

The ending was so bad i wish i never picked up ME1 so i could have been spared the betrayal i felt when i watched the 5 minutes that destroyed everything about this universe for me

Oh come on, really? Destroyed the universe for you? Don't be a Lindsay Lohan. It was not that bad.

It made every decision, every interaction, and the entire purpose of the last three games POINTLESS. I won't get into why, but you can't legiitmately say that the ending was anything but a poorly executed Deus Ex/Evangelion clone.

It was not the ending we wanted, but at least it was better than Return of the Jedi.

to be fair, if we count Expanded Universe (which i do), Return of the Jedi wasn't the ending.........its FAR frrom the ending.

[daftPirate]

What was wrong with Return of the Jedi's ending?

Not sure. It did everything it was supposed to thematically. Only thing I really didn't like was the Ewoks defeating the Emperor's "best troops". But that aside, my focus was on Luke vs. Vader anyway.

To be fair, they were getting their furry little asses kicked before Chewbacca hijacked a walker.

Anyway, there should've been a choice to it. If you were Paragon, did all the right moves, got all the right allies. you should've gotten a Return of the Jedi ending if you wanted it.

If you were Renegade, made all the right choices in that one, you could've gotten a (going with the Star Wars theme) Revenge of the Sith sort of ending, with humans being in full control of the galaxy and maybe Cerberus replacing the Alliance or something like that.

And every possibility in between (including a worst-case-scenario where the Reapers win).

Listen to this man. Stop right as Shepard's going up the magical space elevator in a shaft of light. It will save you the torment.

I like PiEman's alternatives. I didn't hate the endings, but something like PiE's would really have made more sense since a lot of what Mass Effect has been about is "Are you Renegade, Paragon, or something in between?" The ending don't reflect that, not discernably at least.

Lol. I thought about suggesting that I wasn't as emotionally invested as all these other people, but I am heavily invested in this series, I love it, and for me, Mass Effect 3 rocked. I loved just about every minute of it. The endings were just that, endings, part of the game. Maybe not what I expected, and while a lot of things in the game, and the previous ones were for me to decide, this wasn't and I was okay with it. Alternate endings, I would go for. Would it make the game better? Could be. In the meant time, I'm fine. Some reactions, though, do seem awfully extreme.

[Schneidend]

The whole game was a roller-coaster. I teared up twice, and actually did cry a little once. I did both the "Red" and "Green" endings, and both were satisfying, though "Green" is my clear favorite. They didn't turn out how you wanted? Unfortunate, but all that's required for an ending is that it is powerful. You can't always have the conclusion you want for these characters. They're not your creations. You're just along for the ride, and I say the whole trilogy was a ride that is is right up there with every other great Sci-Fi franchise out there, from The Matrix, Battlestar Galactica, trending all the way back to Starship Troopers and Asimov's Foundation novels.

[Shifty Assassin]

Such a depressing and horrible end to an awesome Trilogy. I wish it could have been better even if they delayed the game a few months.

[ColdRiver]

These endings are the definition of trying-too-hard. Trying too hard to make an unpredictable and complex finale, and in the end they just f****d it all up.

Agreed, some reactions are extreme.
Mine isn't so much directed against the ending though. It's directed against Bioware ignoring the fact that I paid money to get a certain kind of game - where decisions influence the story - but not giving me that.

[sumo390]

Amazing how 10 minutes can ruin the good feelings from 3 games worth of time played.
