(Spoilers) The problem I have with the ME3 endings is that I didn't care anymore. Let me explain. The entire Mass Effect series has been very emotional for me. I created an emotional bond to my crew, characters in game and I am not ashamed of admitting that I actually cried when my crew members died in ME3 (I couldn't save Tali nor Legion on my first attempt, Thane died of his illness and Mordin gave himself)
Mass Effect has been more than a game series to me. I could see that in the endings of Mass Effect 1 and 2, how I reacted, emotionally, physically.
With Mass Effect 3 it was different. When the battle over earth began with the fleets I had goosebumps, yes. But I was lacking this intense feeling of being there. Of actually living the moment, of being carried away by the sheer emotion that is Mass Effect. I didn't feel anything.
I had a little "wtf" moment when you met the AI and then nothing. This lack of reaction, the lack of emotion and pain and joy that I experienced in Mass Effect 2 and 1 ruined the entire series for me in a way that I now know I had been looking forward to something for 2 years that is and always will be an utter disappointment
Maybe I got my hopes up too high, expected ME3 to be something it could not be. I don't even know what I would have wanted to see. But it surely isn't see all your crewmembers, except like 3 on the Normandy that get there for some strange reason, die, your friends, your species, everybody.
Sorry Bioware, I've always been a huge fan of your games. I loved Dragonage, Mass Effect 1, 2, even Dragon Age 2 but this? I cannot. This game just left an empty void in me, trying to be filled. I don't even know if I will ever enjoy Mass Effect again. Thank you Bioware.
And thanks for reading

I do so love getting lumped in with the 'you'll buy anything' brigade on the very few occasions I take something seriously enough on the internet to get involved to this extent. No, I really won't. Trust me.

How was there not closure? The Reapers were stopped. Universe saved.
How did my squad escape? Where did the Harbinger go? Who the hell was a VI-gloing-kid? Why Normandy left through the the Relay? What`s happened with the rest of the fleet?
End? no kidding?

Who was star kid?
Who created the reapers?
Is Shepard alive or dead?
What happened to the Normandy? Where is it?
What happened to all the crew members?
Are all the people that were on the Citadel dead?
What happened to all the factions and races?
Are they all doomed to die in Sol due to lack of fuel, supplies, etc?
Are the mass relays really destroyed? Therefore dooming the galactic economy?
Are the reapers really gone? All 3 endings could be conveyed either way.
Star kid did
Shep is alive if you get the best ending
Normandy crash landed on a hospitable planet
I would imagine they were already dead, or gone long ago. Either way, nobody of consequence is lost.
That's up to you to decide. Some obviously made it (S G ending)
You really think they are doomed? They have the best scientists, FTL, etc.
Yes, they are destroyed. This is shown in the ending. Is it doomed? Says who.
Yes, the Reapers are gone. The post-game message whoring out DLC says so.

You're watching too much drama TV series where they explain everything in order for common people to understand and take ease at a story which is (normally) better than their simple life.
I agree some of the answers you are asking demand some kind of answer such as "What happened to all the factions and races?". But as I said, a sequel would explain that easily and a lot better than, maybe, just a dlc.

I don't get the idea of Bioware making games is for Bioware's sake and we don't know anything.
"

Common people? Seriously?
That's like the most arrogant thing I've ever seen posted on this website.

They're going to do what they want to do, anyway. No one can force them to change the ending. I don't think they're obligated to change the ending.
But they also can't be forced to not change the ending. They are not obligated to stand behind it at all costs.
Artists change their works all the time - sometimes because of fans, sometimes because of their own vision. Director's cuts, extended additions, modding tools (like BioWare USED to provide), and even the very idea of DLC assumes that the experience can be altered or modified. The entire range of possibilities are out there. You are right that it's up to them, but of course it's up to them.
I think there are lots of reasons people might like the ending. But, "don't change the ending because then the rabble get their way" rings hollow as a reason.
If you like the ending, explain why. Even though people will probably flame you, there are some, like me, that are actually interested in what people have to say on the subject. I've seen lots of good justifications: I don't always agree, but I can respect.

This sounds like a good idea. I know BW/EA made a lot of money off this game--maybe they would donate to your cause

No business will be lost.
The few 37,000 that say the endings suck are a very small percentage of the buyers. And most of the loyal fans don't even bother to come on these forums, and I don't know why I do.

I still don't have an opinion on the ending but at least the ones who hate it are being a little more respectful than this when they make there points. Just coming out and saying what you think as facts isn't the best way to go around sharing your views, especially with this topic!
It is interesting that almost all of the negative vibes are coming from pro-ending posters, despite the fact that they represent a far smaller numerical presence on the forum than those who "hate" the endings.

I'd much much much much....much rather see the ME universe continued. I know it will be continued, they have all but said as much.
The next ME will focus on the next hero, the one who transitions the universe from post-apocalypse to livability. Watch.
You people are like spoon-fed babies, seriously. The most important questions are answered. You have the choice to believe what you like, but most likely 99% of all remaining questions will be answered via DLC/sequels.

If this is directed at Bioware, why aren't you emailing this to them instead of posting it on the social network? Write them an actual letter maybe? Much more effective

What I see here is people who aparently didn't ever read a book. Most of the stories end just after the good guy's mission is completed. And they let you imagine how everything proceeds after. That or they make a sequel. Some of you actually show good arguments and motives, but most of you just want something that you normally shouldn't.

My first thoughts when i reached the end was "What ****ty choices." "What should i choose? Death, Death, or Death." Yeah all the mass relays are destroyed, great idea. Now millions of survivors are stuck in a solar system with no way to get home.
Or, yeah the reapers are under control now, but Shepard has to die for that control. Yeah mind telling us exactly how that is supposed to be any form of control? Get on a plane and try seeing what happens if a pilot takes control of the plane by dying.
Oh and lets not forget destroying the reapers, which also destroys the Geth, rendering the ENTIRE effort of saving them and the quarians totally useless.
Seriously Bioware, you really should have put more thought into the ending than that. Generally when a game has choices at the end there is at least a good and a bad ending, or in case of three endings a good, a bad and a middle. This one there is clearly no good ending. All three the reapers are stopped, but none of them can be considered good endings. (Three supposedly good endings that is, i finished with almost every war asset and 100% readiness and i think max paragon)

Do you seriously think the numbers of those unsatisfied with the ending are limited to those who voted on that poll? And how do you back up your ridiculous claim that the loyal fans stay away from these forums?
