On the Mass Effect 3 endings. Yes, we are listening.

Now that the ending has sunk in, and I am no longer raging about it, parts of the ending were awesome. Not anything past the Harbinger-Catalyst child thing, but everything about Earth right up to rushing that beam was incredible.
The most difficult thing for me to accept is not knowing where the Reapers came from. I felt this was very negligent. Actually, many aspects of lore were either forgotten or ignored completely. Perhaps this is a natural consequence of switching main writers, but it just irks me that Casey Hudson doesn't know the lore of the game (which he admits) as much as some of the fans do. Not good.
Untimately, though, I totally loved my experience playing ME3, and don't think people should expect corrective ending dlc. That's a bit too entitled for me =/
I just wish I didn't emotionally explode all over the forums because of choosing the synergy ending. But if anyone is as attached to their Shepard as I am to mine, watching a final death scene is pretty hard punch to the gut. =/

Give the dev some love from me, a hug or anything equal. Even though what I think of the ending I DO love the game (maybe not as a whole) and it gave me so many sweet moments.
I cried a little bit when Mordin died.
When Legion said farewell with thath "I", my chest got heavy.
I felt good when my Shepard and Liara for once had a deep talk.
I laughed at Garrus many times.
This is also why I'm so upset about the ending. Oh well.

Before I say anything about the rest of the game I have one question. Is there even a chance you fix the endings?
Because we have discussed enough about how the endings suck, and they do. Not because they are sad, because they are crap. Sad ending good, crappy ending bad.
So what could you possibly add to it other than admitting it?
Sorry but listening will not be enough this time. Either you do something or not. And if not ... well ... you know.
Edit: Actually there is more wrong with the game than the endings. So I'd say 90% of it was good. The game mechanics were awesome so kudos to those who made them. But the plot was probably weakest of the trilogy. And not really stepped up to expectations. Mostly because you promised so many things and delivered so few.

How could I have left that out?! Stood out for me too at the time.qdust wrote...
When Admiral Hacket calls a broken bleeding Shepard and her immediate answer is "What do you need me to do."
Nothing could possibly exemplify Shepard better.

There were moments that made me snort out loud, and others that made me cry like a baby (Mordin's death was well done btw). It was also great hearing music from the previous games.

BTW, I loved 95% of ME3. But the ending... It killed everything.

My last memory of playing a Mass Effect game, the one that is going to stick with me, the overwhelming feeling I'm going to associate with the entire experience forever, is of being bitterly, crushingly disappointed.
:/ Yeah. And don't forget cheated.

And no, that does not mean I forgive you for the ending which ruined a lot for me.
And I am sorry because it's probably not your intention, but those smiley faces make you seem so arrogant that it annoys the **** out of me. Just...Don't do that okay? I still love you man, I just wish you'd stop abusing me.

Crew Mates (past and present) were spectacular. Garrus has gotten better and better as the series has gone on. I really feel like he is an old friend and has my back. Scenes like him and Joker exchanging Turian and Human jokes were phenominal. All of them felt more real than at any other time in the series. I can sight dozens of these small scenes where I really was amazed by how effective you've been in making us care about these characters. This makes their mistreatment in the end harder to take.
The ME2 crew mates obviously get shorter treatment, but I thought they were all well done. Mordin's death was amazing, and when he started singing I felt so horrible for him, and so proud of him at the same time. Legion's death was also powerful, as was his last bit of discussion with Tali.
I was in love with the game until the last 10 minutes. But my point is, the fact that 99% of the game time wise was great, does not mean the game is 99% awesome. Those 10 minutes take a sledgehammer to all of your work through all 3 games. It leaves you wondering why you bothered.

In the meantime, let's give appreciation to Commander Shepard. Whether you loved the ME3 ending or didn't or you just have a lot of questions, he/she has given many of us some of the best adventures we have had while playing games. What was your favorite moment?
I wish you guys had shown more appreciation to Commander Shepard as a heroic character by not having her turn into a confused wreck at the end who is either: 1) manipulated by the enemy because of plot-induced stupidity or 2) directly mind-controlled by said enemy who, in a bout of plot-induced stupidity, decides to toy with her instead of squashing her like a bug.
The hero was not even allowed a flash of resistance or a glimmer of understanding before the curtain fell.
Frankly, I find holding out for a 'true' ending DLC or a hand-waving explanation of your story arc an insulting prospect. The saga is done - I firmly believe you blew the finale.
Goodbye Commander: I was fully prepared to see you go out in a blaze of glory or defiance. You entered as a capable soldier, became the Galaxy's flawed champion... and limped off the stage like a chump.

I love this game, and I love this series with a passion. I even have swag for it which is a first for video games. I openly refer to Mass Effect as my generation's Star Wars (originals that is, we don't talk about the prequels), a defining scifi trilogy that completely changed the game and that I want my kids to play someday.
That... that more then anything is why the ending being a shoe horned cop out hurts. I'm not angry, or nerd/fanboy raging. I'm just hurt guys. People on the other side of the fence like to make it out as our standards being too high, but 20% of this game was at the level I expect from a Mass Effect game, the other 79% blew that bar away like you strapped a rocket booster to it. So when it falls down in the n hour, the final moments... that final 1% it's like someone kicked your dog.
Still on your side Bioware don't start thinking about this as "Us(the company) vs. You (the fans)" we're here and asking for change because we love you guys, love what you do and love this series with a true and burning passion.
Semper Fi.
PS Killing Udina and the Illusive Man were also incredibly satisfying for some reason, I suspect I've wanted to shoot Udina for most of three games now, so thanks for coming through on the wish fulfillment there

My favorite part was when the series was ruined for me by a horridly written and horridly needlessly dark ending ripped off from The Matrix, and not the good matrix movie either.
In all honesty though I definitly enjoyed most of the game. Some of the deaths you hear about are done poorly done since they were killed off by e-mail. Thats like breaking up with someone by text mesage. It was fun gathering war assets, finding the conversations on the Citadel and was over-joyed to find out how much dialog you had with Joker.
Sadly I'm starting to forget details of the story. I haven't played since Sunday because the ending was that bad. I see no point in replaying a game with no pay off.

nice to see some feedback and that your listening, was not happy with the endings, I can understand not having a "disney" ending just, would like an ending that has closure and does not leave me with nothing but questions. I am holding out for dlc content to change it possibly, pathetic of me I know, but at least I can still enjoy the games by thinking this way.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention about Shepard's face portraying more emotions XD
Shepard's shocked look when EDI joked about forgetting to recycle the oxygen was priceless.

Mr Priestly,
The game was awesome, without endings it's GOTY for me, there's no doubt. I hope and think you already checked this forums about possible ending and plotholes. The people want:
1- No more plotholes for example:
Runaway of Normandy, teleporting squadmates. These are cheap stuff and we have these, ME3 doesnt deserve these endings.
2. Our choices mattered in all series, however whatever we do in ME3, our character is dying. There should be an option the character survives, and we'll have en end just like Dragon Age Origins.
I dont care what's necessary for it, %100 readiness ? Replay whole franchise ? All solutions works for me.
and maybe this can show how much personally i love Mass Effect franchise:
