I was looking at an article on eurogamer about Mass Effect 3, and noticed this quote from Mike Gamble:  

"Whether you're happy or angry at the ending, know this: it is an ending. BioWare will not do a "Lost" and leave fans with more questions than answers after finishing the game.."

Now that you've seen the ending, would you say BioWare has held up on that promise?<_<

Speaking of quotes from Mike, this is like the fourth time I've posted this, because I think it's perfect.

"There are many different endings. We wouldn’t do it any other way. How could you go through all three campaigns playing as your Shepard and then be forced into a bespoke ending that everyone gets? But I can’t say any more than that…" 

It's almost like Mike Gamble wasn't actually allowed to read the script or play the game before release.

Governments call that deniability.

No, it left many with many questions the biggest being What the Sh*t?

At least Lost's ending was emotionally satisfying, even if it did leave more questions than answers.

No.

The ending has all the clarity of the Lost ending, the faith to the series of the BSG ending, the production quality of the KOTOR2 ending, and the flexibility and relevance to your past choices as the Deus Ex: Human Revolution ending.

When I finished the game the first thing that came to mind was LOST. Definitely more questions than answers.

[The Angry One]

- Why did Shepard submit to the psychopathic entity that's been controlling her/his worst enemy?
- Why did Joker quit the battle?
- Why didn't the god child open the Citadel itself years ago?
- Did the mass relays destroy their home systems or not? And if not, given Arrival, why not?
- How is ANYONE going to survive stranded far from home with no resources?
- Why did Shepard's squadmates abandon her/him?
- Why did Harbinger play next to no role in the narrative despite his previous obsessive interest with Shepard?
- Why did Sovereign claim Reapers are "each a nation, independant." when the god child claims to control them all?

That's just off the top of my head.

I thought they were both emotionally satisfying.  Lost was emotionally satisfying in a happy, joyful way, whereas Mass Effect was emotionally satisfying in a bittersweet hopeful way.

[Der Estr Bune]

And I'm going to be totally honest, I didn't think Lost had too many unanswered questions by the end. I don't know why it gets so much flak.

[Paulinius]

"Your choices matter."

I guess it isn't a complete lie. You can get a red, blue, or green ending cut-scene.

I feel bad for fans of yellow.

I don't understand how this happened. 

[Sywen]

I don't know what they pulled but it smells like ferret poo.

[Aurawolf]

They could have gone with a Sopranos ending, I mean the Crucible attaches to the Citadel and then the screen goes blank, we get the end credits.

Haha I'm sorry but that I have to laugh at that bolded part.  You can certainly argue the other points if that is your perception, but "the production quality of the KOTOR2 ending" is just ridiculous.

All I can say is...Ouch

[Phydeaux314]

Okay, so it's hyperbole.

But I do feel that there are enough gaping plot holes and unanswered questions to qualify for at least SOME comparison to that game.

This is what happens when you change your direction at the last minute. I wish the writers would have stayed consistent.
