 I'm sure Hudson and his team expected a good deal of flaming for the endings, but we are talking about a serious matter that damages their reputation. We were promised a game that has more replayability than ME2. With the current endings, that promise was dishonest. Seriously, who wants to play more than twice with this current outcome?

Firstly, we are confused. Did Shepard hallucinate the ending? Is he waking up on Earth after getting knocked out by the reaper beam? Or is he waking up after falling to Earth after the Citadel is destroyed?

Second, where is the "Reapers win" ending? Some people have been trying to lose to let the Reapers win. For 3 games they have done whatever it takes to setup the worst outcome possible just to see the Reapers win.

If the ending is not a hallucination, if the ending is actually the ending, then I'd change the fact that everyone importing ME & ME2 saves get essentially the same ending. Imported save players should have their Shepard saved (maybe by whoever died on Virmire, Wrex (if he is dead), Thane, Saren, or anyone who has died and is Shepard's friend. Next I would change that 3rd option (synthesis); it is ridiculous, if synthetic life merges with organic life, it is no longer synthetic at all. Synthetic means manufactured, so if what was once manufactured is no produced in the womb, then it is organic now. Lastly, I'd give a 4th option to those players with crazy high war assets and readiness; where Shepard can refuse the first 3 options, maybe kill the "being-o'light", and use the crucible/catalyst to kill all reapers outside the Sol system because the Fleet he/she assembled is defeating the Reapers on Earth.

But seriously, as it is now, how many time will you play through?

Kills replay value and any need to look forward to downloadable content for me.

[qdust]

Amen!

I tried....I couldn't even finish the import process. It was just too depressing.

Agreed, and to imagine that it was only the last 10 minutes that did this, the rest was amazing.

You have to first find a way to bleach your memory, then it's great again.

[rvgifford]

Kills the replay value of the whole trilogy. Who wants to play it again just to change the color of the ending? Pfft. Hoping and waiting for the real ending to come out because this is currently the end of the franchise in my book.

[v0rt3x22]

Did you actually like the rest of the game? Apart from the ending?

[bpzrn]

I think they Killed (or hurt badly) DLC proffits that they could have made a killing on with better endings, more options and 10 minutes of what happend to the crew etc...

I wont play again

[Nero Narmeril]

Bullcrap, I can play again and I'm ok with this.

Mass Effect 3 was rife with poor decision making in my opinion. And frankly, the kinds of things they were saying in interviews made it seem like they were just trying to get people to buy the game regardless of its validity.

What they SHOULD have done, is realized that people were going to buy the game anyway since Mass Effect is already a successful franchise without them outright lying about the next installment and actually work on giving what they promised. But alas, no they decided against it and it'll bite them in the ass later whether they know it or not.

It's almost haunting to look back at the hopeful conversations in ME1, ME2 about surviving, things your LI says, the future...all you can think at everything is "no matter what you do, doom is coming."

[Sibbwolf]

Well, I am on my second play through (want a better ending than Shepard dying).

Title and final line answered (sort of), onto the post:

Your firstly, that is a player assumption and hope that it's actually Shep fighting indoctrination and not Shep having fallen to Earth, with no hardsuit (in fact, it appears to be in better condition?).

Second, if the 'hope' is true, than the reaper wins ending is most of the possible outcomes I guess.

As it is, I feel the current endings after TIM are disconnected from the series, which may play into the indoctrination theory if Bioware choose to make it so. Otherwise, might go play another RPG series that has the same ending...

[MassStorm]

Yeah i have 7 Shepards from ME1 to ME2 and ready for ME3...but after my first run i was so depressed by the bad endings and Shepard death that didn't really bother trying to play again..it's all the damn same stuff....really why playing if the end is so depressing and Shepard cannot survive the war???

Thats been my delemina, if nothing matters whats the point of another playthough with one of my other Shepards. After I went thought the 3 different "choices" and saw that there were hardly any diffrences I just don't see the point and I think thats what upsets me the most. Though I might play just up untill Harbinger comes down....

The ending is not different from ME1 or ME2 ending. They didn't kill replay value last I've heard with those two.

I lol'd

[savionen]

ME3 in general was awesome, but yeah, the ending prevents the entire trilogy from being fun.

Regardless of what you do, there's always the terrible ending waiting for you, and all your characters are still doomed. I'm not really a fan of Kelly, but it's one of those things that bugs the hell out of me.

I saved Kelly from being killed on the Collector ship in ME2, I went out of my way to re-play it to save the Normandy crew. In ME3, I saved her from being assassinated by Cerberus. At the end of ME3 she most likely just died anyway on the Citadel!

[Dilandau3000]

I've said it before: I'm not letting a bad ending ruin the series for me. I liked almost all of ME3 (sure it wasn't perfect, but it was good until the ending), so I'll hold on to that. I'll rationalize a way to make the ending less depressing, if need be.

It takes more than a letdown at the end for me to abandon an otherwise great series.

I would love a new ending, or at least a clarification. But if I don't get it, I will still love the rest.

The ending chased me from SP to MP.

The bugs in the MP (items getting removed after being purchased, getting kicked from EA servers and losing the collected experience/credits, joining games in progress and not being able to see - even though I can hear - my teammates) have chased me away from the game.

Without fixes to both - FREE - fixes, I will not purchase any future DLC, nor Bioware games.
I'm simply reminded, once again, why I typically avoid EA titles.

[Unit-Alpha]

Preaching to the choir.

Keep fighting the good fight.

[NikitaDarkstar]

This I agree with. No, until there's a DLC I won't replay it.

Maybe they should've shipped it with one of those MIB memory wipe devices.

[HyperionTheGreat]

 Totally agree with you on that one. 
I barely managed to do a second playthrough. I just couldn't face that awful ending. I mean emptier and colder than the farthest void from the sun.

I used to love playing ME 2 just for the fun of it... now I don't feel like it. I just feel depressed every time I try.

Also @Harbinger of Hope: Yeah, but then you'll have to relive the whole depressive end and I'd rather not do that.

I wish I shared that sentiment, but I just can't get passed it.

It does not just kill reply value..... it kills the series with its huge plot holes and space magic
