Well, Shepard, I knew you for 5 years but it's time to say goodbye (Major spoilers ahead, this is an ending thread anways. Read at your own discretion).
There's no way I'm BUYING a DLC ending. I play on 360, sorry to say it but I've supported Bioware up to this point as they slowly have been losing it. EA is breathing down their necks, just look at their launch schedule since ME1 was released. I really wished that I played on PC so I could pirate the Retcon DLC when it comes out (that’s if they charge for it, which they undoubtedly will be).
fBioware keeps disrespecting their fans by nickel and diming them any chance they get. I didn’t even really mind paying $10 for something made during the ME3 development cycle that they just deleted off the disc to make a quick buck off us, because I LOVE the series that much. I supported something I thought was disgusting because I wanted the full experience and just didn’t care because ME3 looked AWESOME!
*****SPOILERS START HERE, TTGL/EVA spoilers, too*****
And it was awesome! And on the other hand, it was lazy, rushed and it proved that an ending really CAN ruin an entire game! Right up to the point where Shepard collapsed after his final conversation with Anderson, the game was very solid if you overlook some flaws, I would’ve EASILY given it around an 8/10. The dialogue with T.I.M., rallying the troops speech and talking to Anderson were some of the best moments in the entire series. Even if there was no final boss fight and it was just the waves while trying to activate the cannon, I would’ve been alright with the ending at the point where Shep and Anderson are sitting and watching Earth from the Citadel.
But then the platform lights up underneath Shepard and he starts to rise up, and that’s when everything changed for most fans.
Synthesis = EVA ending, Control = You become an Anti-Spiral. If the lore behind the Reapers made sense and didn’t feel like a total arse-pull that was explained in barely 5 minutes, the ending probably wouldn’t be such a hot topic (or if, you know, YOUR CHOICES YOU MADE MATTERED!). You talk to poorly explained God Kid, he tells you that he created the Reapers so that weak civilizations could always advance and you are supposed to accept it and move on in 3 minutes and make your choice.
If the Kid directly controls the Reapers, he is a complete moron. Control is basically saying “I’m a moron, you can do it better Shep Shep, go grab those things and disintegrate yourself because I am God Kid and I said so.”
Think about it, he says the purpose of the Reapers are 1) SYNTHETICS R BAD and 2)They need to allow weak civilizations to advance. So why not just destroy either the Quarian or Geth with the Reapers, since in the current cycle the Geth are the only synthetics that could be problematic? Even eliminating the Quarian with the Reapers is a better choice, since the Geth have proven to be peaceful and could easily be a Council race.
But that begs an even better question, if the Reapers are controlled by God Kid, why not just use them as a looming threat to keep peace? The Quarian are being jerks to the Geth? Okay, I’ll send my Reapers to go hover outside a Quarian ship, not attack them, but just speak to them instead and tell them to knock it off or they’re going to get WRECKED. The same logic could be applied to the less advanced species the Reapers are supposedly trying to help advance (Anti-Spiral logic, again, except not as well explained, plot related or even making sense in this case. That reveal was betting led up to since Simon beats the Spiral King, this one was just completely random except for Shepard talking to the dying Reaper on Tali’s home world).
So is he just an incompetent moron with no real control over the Reapers (even destroying them)? The death toll in Shepard’s cycle alone and stopping advanced races from advancing further seems counterproductive compared to using the Reapers as just a looming threat when the “Geth/Synthetic” threat in that cycle is so insignificant.
And why join everyone together into one collective? He says that is the pinnacle of existence and you are supposed to just believe him again after a 30 second explanations? Synthetics are not even the problem, it is clear that he just an idiot using the Reapers completely wrong. REAPERS are the only problem, so your only choice is to 1) Kill yourself and do his job properly, 2)Kill them and yourself (Oh wait, PERFECT ENDING, I get to see him gasp for air for one second) or 3) Join with them just because he says it will make a perfect fusion? (EVA ending, sort of)
I’m just really frustrated and disappointed, and seeing you guys make statements like this –

just makes it a lot worse. You already shot yourself in the foot with launch day DLC, I got it just because I like the series so much, but now you’re going to say “We’re right, you’re wrong” when your customers are all against your stand point? That’s just bad business and shows you don’t respect us at all.
I’m taking the game back, I read one of the Tweets and it pretty much hinted that you would be making DLC soon. The DLC prompt after the ending you guys got from that picture (the one where they’re on white planet with trees and the Earth and moon in the background) was the tackiest thing I have ever seen in all my days of playing video games. You guys are going to Retcon the ending, you’re going to charge for it and people are going to eat it up. I’m not, I bought SSX the other day but I’m taking it and ME3 back (even if I only get $30 credit from Gamestop). I can’t support EA or Bioware anymore, I spent $66 on ME1, $66 on ME2, $40ish on ME2 DLC and $75 for ME3 on launch date just to get the full game. You’ve gotten enough of my money after that ending. I’ll never buy an EA or Bioware product again, and I’d rather get $30 and know you lost a sale then keep this and hope for freed DLC.
Goodbye Shepard and Bioware, it was a good run while it lasted… times sure have changed.
