From reading so many people complain about the endings, I can't help but think back to an interview with a dev regarding ME2 and ME3.

I can't remember the exact workding used, but the extent of it was, that the dev team felt that handling the story for ME2 was hard, because they had to maintain a somewhat fixed ending to let the 3rd installment run from, while maintaining the choice aspect of the game. In the same breath, it was then said that they expected an easier time with ME3 since they could let things run alot more wild there, since they didn't have to end up at the same spot in the end, due to it being the final in the trilogy, and thus could add alot more variety in the story.

So what happened? Cause from what I'm hearing from people having played the game complete is the exact opposite of what the devs stated back then.

I haven't even started the game( bought it already) but all this outrage about the ending is disheartening. The main reason I like ME in general is because of the lore+ Character interaction and choice making. I wouldn't mind a tragic ending but I would have least liked to get a sense of closure like what happens to the universe after I've left it. But no sense of closure and many potholes why?. I do understand that Boiware wanted to end with something unexpected that's not always good. I believe a star wars like ending would have been more fitting since that in my opinion is the theme of ME which is hope and being victorious against impossible odds(going to a suicide mission where everyone survives if you put the effort). While it is not realistic but if ME was really realistic Shepard would have lost a looong time ago.

You won't get any closure nor any explanation as to what happens to everyone and everything in the universe. You will be faced with 2 or 3 mind bogglingly retarded solutions, that some unexplained God/creator thing forces you to take, and that no Shepard would ever consider taking. Don't even get me started on the lousy reason that it gives to you that doesn't make any form of sense and that has never been a part of the Mass Effect universe.
Do yourself a favour and enjoy the 10/10 game untill the ending, and then just trun it off. The pain of curiosity will be far lesser than the pain you will experience after the ending.

Bioware has a golden moment here tho, because making DLC with new endings, will probably net them big bucks, because many ppl are unhappy about endings and they will buy the new DLC with alternate endings.Potential is there if you watch this from business perspective.Even if  that DLC costs 30 dollars, i would buy it instantly.

I'm probably in the minority here but... I'm on my second playthrough right now. Sure the endings are pretty bad but that doesn't stop the game up to that point being bad, mostly the renegade choices.

People will effectively be paying for a cinematic. It's not like FO3 where the ending cuts you out of the game, by the time you get to the end of ME3 there is no game left.

People would be better off selling the game that would send a very clear message.

I would like to know how are you replaying it when you know that any decision you make, any sacrifice or alliance are going to be taken away from you in the end and you will be stuck with the same atrocity of an ending. Maybe for the amazing gameplay, but story wise, I don't see a reason there.

[BongoTheBear]

Endings were bad. Was it really necessary to end EVERYTHING that way? So will there be an MMORPG that will pretend like nothing happened? Cash cow still gives milk doesn't it?

Just finished Paragon ending. I thought it was great, although it could have used more....drama I guess

What happened is Mass Effect 4.

Even with 98% of the game being amazing, the ending ruins the entire trilogy. Its a disgrace to the game and to the fans.

[Rectified]

Most of you wanted a happy ending, and then some of you say the endings didn't make sense according to the lore of Mass Effect.

The end of Mass Effect 3 was supposed to be an end to the trilogy, if nothing bad happened and the Reapers were either destroyed or vanished then it would seem as if the story was to be continued.

The story had to come to a close, and they gave you the choice of how to finish your Shepard.

After spending fifty hours on my first play-through from importing a ME1 Shepard, I worried I would miss out on the perfect ending, because Bioware lied about the war assets without multi-play ( and also being able to hit level 30 to 60 in one play-through I played on hardcore from start to finish ) but during those last twenty minutes I was actually surprised at how well Bioware managed to end this story finally so I wouldn't have to play another one of their games ever again. I don't even want the "perfect" ending now because of how good one of the endings were.

Maybe it is the ending I chose - I have yet to see the other 2 normal endings which suck apparently.

[Quarters Alpha]

*shrug* I liked it a lot. It felt final. Far more than I can say for most series enders.

[MattFini]

The ending is terrible.

Even if someone is fine with the concept (which I hated, but I could understand it working for someone), there are logistical problems that just don't make any sense. Like certain characters appearing in a cutscene when they should've been elsewhere ... and there's no explanation for it.

In that regard it's sloppy, rushed and inexcusable. No matter how well the final concept worked.didn't work for you.

LOL, I think I will finish playing and draw my own conclusions.

[The Big Nothing]

I think they should get rid of the illusive "endings" and just have a single ending, since they are all basically the same. It's like they went, "Let's pretend we gave them a choice, all with the same result."

Also, the pseudo-spiritualism at the very end is garbage.

No, actually, the way it is written right NOW is making it seem as if it will be continued in another game, be it ME4 or an MMO (god no). They even hinted as much. There are too many questions left unanswered. Besides, if the game ended so that Shepard got his happy ending and retired or whatever, it would in no way FORCE them to continue his story. He had his battles and now he's stepping down. Perfectly valid and offers choice without being forced to brutally kill Shepard and everything he loved.
Fact: you can end a story without destroying everything and everyone in it.
Fact 2: Reapers getting destroyed by another means =/= sunshine and daisies for the galaxy.
Futhermore, if they truly thought Shepard's death was unavoidable, there would be no "Shepard lives" scenario.

Note: I got the "worst possible" scenario, which is ironically the most just ending in my mind. As just as it can be, considering all three are a complete betrayal of everything my Shepard stands for and are something he would NEVER accept.
