"If you just rip straight down the critical path
and try and finish the game as soon as you can, and do very little
optional or side stuff, then you can finish the game. You can have some
kind of ending and victory, but it'll be a lot more brutal and minimal
relative to if you do a lot of stuff," he continued. "If you really
build a lot of stuff and bring people to your side and rally the entire
galaxy around you, and you come into the end game with that, then you'll
get an amazing, very definitive ending."

(Casey Hudson speaking to The Escapist.)

I'm sorry but I am pretty sure that regardless of any choices in Mass Effect 3, the ending is the same choice where the three options aren't limited by prior decisions.

I did a complete play-through finishing all side missions and I had a full 'readiness' meter and the ending I got was not definitive or amazing. Anyone get an ending that didn't cause a 'what the hell is going on' moment when the credits started to roll?

Seriously, how does any choice in the entire series effect the ending choice or it's three options?

Funny how everything done about ME3 ending was ensured out of their way to be the exact polar opposite of what was promised about it.

It's like failing suicide mission in ME2 to the point of dead Shepard. Such galactic level of failure takes a spectacular amount of trying.

[GBGriffin]

It's just cleverly worded "dev talk."

"amazing" = a real stretch given what actually happens, but the space battle was pretty neat

"very definitive" = Shepard dies in all but one possible ending, and the same thing happens to the crew and Mass Relays regardless of choice. I'd call that definitive. The end. Done. Of course, it ended up providing more questions than answers, I think, but maybe he thought it made sense?

I think people assumed, like I did, that in the style of the past 2 games, hard work would pay off and you'd get a "better" ending beyond Shepard just taking a breath.

[Mr. Big Pimpin]

He lied. Of course, his statements were non-concrete enough that he can claim he didn't.

[MajorStranger]

It's not, I feel like my ending have been cheapen.

[Lexagg]

They said a lot of things that turned out to be flat out lies. One of them is in my sig.

Nothing but rubbish being said just ignore that PR nonsense.

What Casey said is partly true.

Depending on your readiness level, the different choices unlock. Low readiness, you are FORCED into controlling the reapers. Higher readiness, and the destry option unlocks. Highest readiness, and synthesis becomes available.

Very high readiness with the destroy ending shows shepard "alive".

[frylock23]

I think "stunned" might have been a more appropriate choice of adjective than "amazed." Or, maybe "shocked."

[Luigitornado]

Exaggeration PR stuff.

It's too bad that the gaming industry has turned into some giant suit...man.

I think it is partially to be blamed on fans/internet where people often act immaturely on their displeasure for creative insight, which makes companies like Bioware too afraid to say anything.

I for one still would like a no bars commentary from Casey and other staff members about the making of ME3. How they made choices, why they choose certain directions for the story...kind of like a movie commentary by a director.

And I don't want this because I'm a demanding fan who needs an explanation, I want it because I'm interested.

If anything good can come out of this, I'd hope one thing would be that people will me more skeptical of dev talk and PR promises over games they're excited about. Read into it, be critical, and don't just buy into it.

Given, but none of these endings is deffinite... let alone amazing...

[devSin]

Shameless.

[Vasparian]

He's a liar. It's just his PR crap talking there.

Really?

So the synthesis option where Joker, EDI and Random Squadmate X with green tattoo work crashing on Random Planet Y with holographic leaves is the most complete ending?

I mean...the best for Joker, Edi, and the Geth, I guess

[SSVDisappoint]

I am just imagining there is a cabal of EA important suits sitting around swigging imported liquor and smoking cigars saying things like "Oh did you hear about those upset Mass Effect fans?" "Why yes I did, Good show chaps now we have their money *insert snooty laugh here*". It's either that or the PR department was like "Nope not handling this one" and left the office for a week leaving a bunch of generic response cards.

[NeoGuardian86]

 PR talk is PR talk.



endings are all pretty much the same.

Except for the version of the Destroy ending in which Shepard wakes in the rubble, yes, if that's how you quantify it.

[hawat333]

Actually, Casey is right.
Earth is at stake there. With every humans, krogan, slarian and asari being down there at the moment.
Shepard's survival is at stake there.

So yeah, there are multiple endings, and it indeed matters if you rush there or prepare.

I'm never pre ordering a game ever again, or buying it on release. This was the first time I have ever pre ordered a game and picked it up at midnight. The first time i got the collector's edition. Never again. I believed all the things the devs were saying.

[Sywen]

If I learned anything, its don't trust what devs say. I will never preorder a game again. I won't buy one again until I get positive reviews from players. Won't let another game company cheat me again. I should have learned my lesson after swg's.

[Militarized]

Please... all the people excusing this as PR talk. He HAD to know what he was saying and how people would take it, so yes you could say he is lying but don't try and say he was being honest and just hyping it up. He is either lying, or something happened.
