I wouldn't even bother spending emotion on a crappy ending if the game is stupid.

But Mass Effect is SOOOO good. All three MEs are the best series of games the world has ever seen. I love ME too much to see it ends pointlessly. That's why the fans are hurt, and the more hardcore a fan is, the more he hurts. This really makes me feel betrayed.

I could never imagined myself being such a fan of a story as to actually cry over it FOR SEVERAL DAYS. If you told me three years ago that a virtual death of a bug-eyed alien would make me cry, I'd tell you to **** yourself.

@Rawgrim - why thank you.

@Lexagg - send me a copy of your game! You can't honestly say that in rpg mode you have no auto dialogue. There's plenty of it. So much in fact that you only get dialogue choices when making huge plot decisions. Something that was supposed to be in the medium choices option that got removed. Now we have no choices and full choices. Full choices does not give us full choices. With the few options we do get, there's no point in action or rpg modes, there's barely any dialogue to choose!
It all plays out automatically.

Every single part of ME3 was perfect except the journal and the endings that's pretty much it i have not seen a single thread stating the entire game was bad its pretty much jest the horrible endings and i think bioware realizes that actually.

[Shadow2G]

Yes, the fact the game was such an epic experience for me right up to the last ten minutes makes the ending all the more disappointing.

[Thalorin1919]

I think a lot of us have different opinions out at the endings and how they could of had turned out, some enjoying them while many hate it.

I guess I just hate seeing this great game being tarnished when I think it's not only the best game in the entire series, but one of the best games I have ever played. While they endings aren't satisfying, they are conclusive, and maybe that is what Bioware set out to do all along.

Either way, Mass Effect 3 is a fantastic game and the trilogy is one that should be remembered with a bright reputation filled with great and sad moments.

In the end...we can't get everything we want.

[Greed1914]

This is what is so frustrating.  I can point to exactly where the game went from great to terrible.  In fact, my plan is that the next time I play, I'll just stop there.  In a way, it's amazing what damage they could do in 10 minutes.  And, since those last 10 minutes have nothing to do with bugs or gameplay, we won't see this corrected, which is a shame because the last tiny bit shouldn't cause so much damage.

 Its just so sad, here I have a good way of putting it

Lets say you have a sandwhich, its a very good sandwhich too made with the finest wagyu beef, black truffle aiolli, some nice fresh tomatoes, and the freshest most crisp piece of lettuce you can find.  It's really quite a tasty sandwhich and is good to last bite except for the fact that it has a bit of poop in it. Although this sandwhich comes close to sandwhich perfection it is in fact still a **** sandwhich.

I found this funnier than it really was for some reason. 

[chaord nightshade]

Yes I did enjoy most of the game but with an ending like that not sure what to say really just brings it all down.

Everything else right? Your mean removing player control of Shepard through linear auto dialogue? How's your second playthrough going? I'm barely getting it done cause its like watching a movie twice in a row. With VERY little changes to the dialogue there's no point in even playing it. Forget the endings, the lack of dialogue control is what killed this game and made it into a movie.


-Polite

Yes, even in RPG mode it feels like a movie, the choices are so few and far between I can't replay the game and I end up skipping diaoluge.  And then it's really apperent when the game won't let me skip cut scenes because of the auto dialouge.




There won't be a third one of these because of the auto diaoluge.  The interactions with the crew is nice but lack of interaction with the story brings it back down.

This is such a hard choice to make.

I'm talking to both friends and classmates who are in different parts of the game, and I'm trying to avoid giving away spoilers (though sometimes I get people mixed up). They've already picked up that I'm not happy about it, and I'm probably the biggest fan they know, so they assume something happens with the end for me to be praising everything but that.

I'd say....don't tell them. As much as you or I would like to warn them, I'd like to think everything until then is pretty good. Besides, if you don't tell them, hopefully they'll enter into it with a clear head and decide for themselves it was ****.

No we need every voice of hate for the ending possible to have a shot at getting some form of closure.  I'm not telling my friend for the same reason.  Besides so many things to enjoy til they mess it all up in less than 10 minutes.

Say something like *Insert love intrest here* wants to go on a tropical vaction with joker.

My brother did this with "Crash" by saying "It's his brother" before I watched it and I didn't get it till the very end and was both angry at being spoiled but appluaded his cleverness.

No. If they've already bought the game, let them enjoy it for as long as they can. Right up until you meet the Guardian/Catylist, ME3 is an amazing game.

If I could figure out how to put it in a signature, I would.  My refrain:  Friends don't let friends finish ME3.  Stop at the pep talk.  You'll know which one.

No. Hell no, you've been a ****** to everyone with an opinion that isn't glowing praise and now you're trying to appeal in this manner? Sorry, it's not going to fly. Why was the Normandy in transit so far from the Sol System, what the hell happens after the relays are destroyed - more over WHY are the relays destroyed in all endings? Explain how the synergy ending works in a logical manner? Cripes, just try and understand where people are coming from instead of trying to strawman everything into being 'well you can't get what you want'.

What I would like is proper resolution and ACTUAL variety, we were promised a minimum of six DIFFERENT endings but instead we got three with marginal variations depending on your EMS. Two endings with actual conclusiveness/differentiation would have been better then three. It's about quality, not quantity.

Don't stoop to his level.  If he wants to blindly defend the game and ingore the issues let him.  S/He doesn't seem to want to listen to other opinions by the way he's been typing.

[Maialeth]

It's such an Epic game.. It really is.. EPIC build up.. Amazing game.. Very well done.. right up until the endings.. And that.. Like someone else in the thread said.. Is such an amazing let down.. The awesomeness of the series /and/ this game make the let down of the endings that much more.. disappointing. I've said it before in other threads and I'll say it again in this one.. I simply just have to reject Bioware's endings and substitute my own. IT.. actually makes the game that much more rewarding if you don't care what ending choices you get, and makes speed run possible, because.. no matter what ending the disc gives you... You just.. ignore it

I haven't been a ******, nor have I called anyone names either, but thanks.

Most of the people on here complaining about the ending is because they didn't get the direct things they want - Shepard somehow surviving, marrying their love interests, etc. I don't think it's fair to fire against Bioware because I just don't think they could provide that many endings and still put out quality. A lot of the things people are asking for on here when expressing the ending they desired is to varied and to self-personalized, even for a game and series based around choice. 

I'm not saying that I know the answers to these questions you've listed, but at the same time I don't think they have to be answered as well. With the Mass Relays, I'm guessing they were destroyed due to the overload of power from the Crucible from the beams they send off and also symbolic in a sense - since the galaxy is now relieved of the Reapers, they are also relieved of their technology, which leads to what happens afterwards -  the remaining people now rebuild going in their own direction with their own technology. 

Something like the synergy might not even have to be analyzed at all - maybe the Crucible could literally rewrite the DNA of every being with the blast. It happened to Joker with the green veins and eyes. I'm not saying its logical but I just don't think that there is a scientific explanation for it. Why the Normandy is flying off in transit with the whole of your crew, even the ones you took with, is something I don't know either and I find odd as well.

These sort of questions wanting to be answered I can understand. It's the flood of extreme personal complaints that can't be supplied that are bothering me because it's not really fair to Bioware. Overall, I think they left the rest up in imagination to the rest of everyone - some people don't like that and some do. I guess I'm just one of the pricks that does. 

To say that the endings aren't conclusive isn't viable though - the whole arc of this series has been Shepard against the Reapers and he won. Not satisfying, sure, but conclusive. 

[thavleifrim]

i agree the game was amazing but the ending left so much unresolved and was so linear, where is the ending where the reapers win? where is the ending where entire an entire race is destroyed? where is the ending with the yellow laser beam?

[logan23tom78]

The game feels a tad like knights of the old republic 2: Sith lords- it was a good game up till the end where they like me3 just forgot about your party members and them we have a kind of forced ending. I was expecting a mix of me2 suicide mission where Shepard is asked to make choices as the final battle happens which could lead to Wrex and his krogan die or due to past choices like faking the genocure that the krogans would not help the salaries which lead to their forces being wiped out due to a reaper. The moment I had the injured shepard it just felt forced as if there was suppose to be a scene with harbinger who was right there, talk to shepard before he goes up even if it's dialogue was during the walking toward the light beam. I really hope they patch the ending just as Fallout3 had theirs fixed.
