I absolutely adored the ending to this game.

Each option gave a sense of finality, a real commitment to the science fiction that underpins the series: that the galaxy is locked in a cycle where organics and synthetics contend for supremacy. And this game lets me completely rewrite the future of that universe. 

The option I chose for my 'primary' playthrough (spoiler!) was the synergy (middle) route. Haunting, shaking, and with that great kicker after the credits.

What did people want? What were people expecting? A kind of "and then Shepard killed the reapers and everyone was okay and there was another sex scene with Liara rainbows butterflies medals Chewbacca roar end credits" sort of thing?

What we get here is far better - an opportunity to have a powerful impact on the universe, and to make a kind of concluding judgement about the series' principle themes.

I don't accept some of the arguments floating around, that the final choices didn't reflect the series' 'paragon/renegade' duality. We got given some very complex options, with massive iceburgs of unforeseen consequences in each one. What, did people want a drop-down menu, listing the effects?

I loved this series, but its not until these endings that Mass Effect is elevated to the status of powerful science fiction. I for one would be very upset if Bioware changed them even a jot. They're beautiful just as they are.

Anyway, this thread is just to congratulate Bioware - I've been following you guys since Baldur's Gate, and I can't wait to see what happens next - and to see if anybody else has a more positive response to the endings.

I respect your opinion.

However, I also respectfully disagree.

Please, run fast and far away from these forums.
I respect your opinion, of course, but I fear I am in the minority...

I'm fine with them. The control options suits me enough. I would liked a happier ending sure, but I'll make do with what I was given.

I liked the ending in thoery. In practice, we're kept in the dark regarding a lot of important details. The ending is left ambiguous so we can speculate, I understand that, but we can't speculate when so many things are uncertain. Namely, the Normandy scene.

Some people are okay with them, and that's cool. A lot of people would also like alternatives to the existing endings. At the moment, it seems most people fall into that second category, but most of us don't want to diminish the people who did enjoy the existing endings.

Educate yourself on peoples complaints, because I don't feel like doing it anymore.

It's nice that you like the endings.

However, most of us see them as non-sensical, not fitting with the themes of the series, and taking away player choice.

Shadey, you are a troll. I directly countered your assertion that everything is explained, and you ignored my answer.

So yes. With the reasons given here for "liking" the ending, I call troll.
You liked the nonsensicalness? You liked the fact that Commander Shepard is a coward? That Joker ran away? THAT EVERYTHING IN THE GALAXY WILL DIE?

Whatever.

Anyonne who likes the ending is simply not a fan of Mass Effect, that ending goes against everything we know and love about the series, no excuses. Read this and see how the ending is not amazing in any way. http://www.gamefront...fans-are-right/

When will people realize that everyone is not upset about it not being a happier ending... They are upset about the ending not reflecting any of their choices over the 3 games.

While I am genuinely happy that you enjoyed the endings, please refrain from claiming we wanted rainbow and butterflies. It's a huge fallacy which can be easily seen in any number of the ending threads. Glad you enjoyed the game though!

I used to love the ending. I really did. I had tears rolling down my face (literally) because of how beautiful it was. It was beyond anything I have ever seen in fiction.

Then I found out that I missed a few key lines and had completely misinterpreted it. Sucks to reexamine things.

Since your title asks. I will answer no. Sorry disagree. Glad you feel that way but I cannot follow. I won't respond in kind for your contempt of our differing opinions.

I see those two issues as being connected, actually.
