Didn't really mind it. But it did leave me reeling. It was pretty abrupt in a sense that there really was no 'closure'. If anything, it left a lot of things to the imagination. I do reckon the endings are far too broad and vague for a series that mainly concentrated on the characters and their journey.

Would've preferred endings that at least touched on what happened to the characters and the races of the galaxy afterwards. I'd even settle for the kind of epilogue DA:O has.

I liked the ending..................however, the VAST majority did not. I have never seen a games conclusion so thouroughly vilified. Talking about a company missing its mark.

Again, I liked it, but most didn't. 97% didn't. Bioware needs to address this, or risk alienating a huge proportion of their fanbase.

I hated it. None of what you did mattered. 5 years and three games, and none of what you did mattered in the end. I don't even want to play through this game again. Just terrible.

This is to everyone: so if the endings showed the effect of your ending choice and what it happens to the rest of the galaxy would you all feel as angry?

I liked them, but they could have been better. I chose the one I felt had the best compromise, but now I'm curious as to the results. It leaves open too many questions. BW oughta stick to the DA:O Epilogue block style, even if they retcon it as hearsay in the sequel/future installments. This open-ended stuff is really starting to chafe. It is possible to give closure AND make sequels, spin-offs, etc. after all.

This would qualify as "closure". So, my opinion would be yes. It seems the most resounding opinion of the endings is that they "didn't make sense/were confusing".

If Bioware addresses this, I think there would be relief that something is being done to fix the oversight.

I remember an interview done with the original Portal team at Valve... They said that near the end of the game, they thought that some "o-ring" falling out of the sky after destroying GLaDOS and being outside Aperture Science's main enterance was the most entertaining thing ever. They claimed to have shirt designs and everything about that "o-ring". They went on to say that it was because they had put so much time and energy into the game that they made a tremendous oversight over a simple "The Cake Is A Lie" gag that caught on and never saw it coming.

I'm thinking the same thing happened with Bioware's writing team... Writing so much dialogue for so many variables... They're bound to be freaking tired and say "F*** IT! The ending's not as important! It's the experience that counts!" and left it at that. Problem is, now they're facing the wrath of the fanbase for not getting a clear picture of what happened at the end of ME3.

I liked the ending, although I have found that most people upset with the endings are the people who just can't accept hard emotion or cliff hangers. And yes, I agree that the endings can be a bit cheap as far as closure goes but it leaves room for growth of the franchise in the future.

I just love how your sig acts as a disclaimer for your posts. XD

[MaleQuariansFTW]

I literally just finished it 10 minutes ago.

I'm confused, upset, curious, angry, And exhausted. It is what it is, but why couldn't they give us something satisfying? Some closure? I think we deserve an explanation.

[JeffZero]

Yes. To some extent.

Yeah, pretty much.

[MerchantGOL]

i liked them well enough

way back during the first game i knew the series would most likely end with the relays destroyed

that and i also figured it would turn out the citadel is a reaper

still if bioware wants to give me another ending via dlc alright

I like looking at the destruction of the relays as less "A galactic dark age" and more of a "chance for them to make their own way"

If their was one thing i didn't like is that it appears the only ending where shepard lives is the one where i kill the geth.....not cool

[ognick23]

wile i dont think they did the ending the way they did on purpose i honestly i think Bioware is planning a big DLC

[HappyHappyJoyJoy]

I liked the last scene with Anderson.

That was it.

I was waiting for EDI  to say "It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here."

Thanks for the condescending generalization.

[Bendok]

My main problem is it made all of my choices over 3 games irrelevant. No matter what I did, or what combination I did stuff in, it simply doesn't matter for the end.

If I was watching a movie it would be more acceptable, but I was supposed to be in control of Shepard's fate and the fate of the galaxy.

[NeoGuardian86]

 I keep thinking about the endings and i'm just like "these are crap..." 


i restarted the game and i love the effort they did with it, but seriously the last 5 minutes felt like it totally blew the wind out of you. 

As far as i'm concerned in my mind that isn't how the story ends. hell.... there isn't even an ending where the Reapers win and the cycle begins anew. 

given how that would indeed be a very final note to the series, and that Mass Effect 2 took far more risks with it's ending. 

yeah... the endings to 3 are incredibly out of left field, no closure whatsoever, no epilogue, and pretty much nullify every possible decision you made in the past. 

it honestly felt like it was forced and written in the last moment.

ah funny because I noticed everyone who likes the endings, are people who are just blissfully unaware of the terrible writing, lack of any creativity, ridiculous logic leaps, mind boggling contrived pseudo philosophical nonsense and general laziness the endings entail.

You know people who lack any sort of critical thinking.

[Angry Finn]

Well, I liked it. Thought it was a good way to wrap up and end the series. But I'm part of the minority on that so whatev. Regardless of what opinions on the ending are, bloody loved the rest of the game.

~But thats just my opinion, no need to go spreading it around.

[Shifty Assassin]

No, too depressive and my choices had no impact what so ever.

Key difference: he said 'most' and you said 'everyone'.

Yours is thus more incredulous.

The ending itself is well written, it's just that I don't think a lot of thought was put into if it was appropriate for this specific game.  If this was a Final Fantasy game it would probably be considered one of the best endings ever.  It gets realy metaphysical in what was up until now was a space action movie series without even a hint of metaphysics.  Imagine if you were to watch an old Schwartzenegger flick (let's say Commando) and right after the final confrontation with the bad guys, aliens land and make Arnie choose the fate of the human race on earth.  It's just that out of place.  It's also the actual definition of a Deus Ex Machina, where divine intervention comes out of nowhere to resolve the story.

There's also the fact that it negates all choices you made in the game up until that point.  Anyone remember Knights of the Old Republic?  Anyone remember their second playthrough when you didn't give a **** about what happened on Taris because you knew whatever you did the planet will get blown up anyway and everyone on it will die?  It's kind of like that, but right at the end of a three part game.  Now try to go back and play a new character from ME1 all the way to ME3 knowing that none of the choices will matter in the end.

If the games had been asking metaphysical questions about the nature of the universe and god and creation and such throughout the entire series (like Battlestar Galactica or The Matrix for two examples) then I'd be ok with the endings.  But up until now it was just about Shepard kicking ass and taking names. He didn't have an oracle helping him, or some kind of prophecy proclaimed about him eons ago, or some hot android in a red dress playing Snuffelupagus to Shepard's Big Bird, anywhere throughout the games.  You can't just make a sharp left turn like that right at the end of a story amd expect people to be ok with it (well, unless it's intended for comedic effect which I'm pretty sure it isn't).

It's too bad too, because this ending overshadows how incredable the other 99.9% of the game is.

I watched all three endings on youtube since I do not own the game yet. Based on the endings I have watched and comments I have read in the other section I cannot see how anyone can like the endings that were given to us. It's as bad as liking anchovy flavoured ice cream.
