I just want to congratulate Bioware. By seeing the Mass Effect trilogy through to its conclusion, you guys did something no one else has done. Something no one else thought possible. An epic, memorable, even controversial story spanning three huge, critically and commercially acclaimed games. And it was nearly entirely player driven. Regardless of how people feel about the ending, you guys got that sh*t done.

Thank you for allowing us to experience one of gaming's most brilliant sagas, one which all other RPGs will undoubtedly be compared to from here on out. You've raised the bar exceedingly high, and I firmly believe I speak for the majority of your fans when I say you deserve the pat on the back a select, vocal few seem unwilling to give you.

Good job.

Horrendous decisions on DLC, and all the Endings sucked. Makes Jar Jar Binks look like Citizen Kane

What House said. They don't deserve congratulations or even praise for this game. They released an incomplete game. Broke the promise of multiple different endings. In fact all the endings are the same. Only differences is if you save the earth or not really and there are so many plot holes it's not funny. There is also the fact that the DLC that they want to sell to people is completely useless because there is no post ending ability to play after the game is done. You are sent back to right before you do the final mission.

I won't spoil it that's for the spoilers section but suffice it to say Bioware really hurt themselves with this game. They did something similar with sending out a rushed and unpolished game that was DA2. They hurt themselves and it is only going to get worse from there.

Later.

You forgot to add making people imagine diff endings by their own.Which is actually good if a game  leave you thinking that much.Example the indoctrination theory.

That theory is an attemot to headcannon the massive amount of plotholes the ending left us with. It is not a, :I wonder if this is what happens next?" theory. If it was it wouldn't be so focused on fixing the current games ending.

No, because everytime someone posts anything remotely voicing their opinion about how well Bioware did on the game an idiot like you comes in here berating either Bioware or the OP. But if say I go and critique the people bashing the ending I am berated and considered a minority. Besides aren't there 300 other ending threads for you to camp out in?

While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, I disagree with the part where you say: no one has done this before.

I gave my opinion, and I do not beleive Bioware should be congratulated. So stop with the insults.

You're upset. There are nine people here that didn't like the ending for every one person that liked it. You're vastly outnumbered.

Besides, I see you bombing other threads that disagree with your opinion.

Upset about what? I loved the game and considered the ending acceptable, if anyone is "Upset" it would be the majority who keeps hoping for their fabled ending to come and giving Bioware 0 time to even work on it. I guess they are just supposed to put 10 new endings out in a matter of day like its no prob. As for opinion I haven't expressed one in other threads.

Mass Effect 3 is like the perfect Ice Cream sundae, whose creation you've seen from beginning to end. Its just at the last bite, you're left with an odd, uncomfortable sensation in your mouth, that leaves you confused and bewildered. As if the chef freaked out and panicked at how to end the most perfect dish.

Don't get me wrong Mass Effect 3 hit all the high notes needed and more and had all the shout-outs to all my previous actions in the series. Its just that the ending left me a little confused more than anything.

Which by itself is an achievement. Bioware managed to create a product that engaged us at an emotional level, something very few other games can even attempt. The fact that there are complaints regarding the ending speaks volumes to the emotional engagement that the series has engendered in us.

Well done Bioware. If I could, I'd toast you.

Posted less than 20 minutes ago and... it's already derailed. I'd say that's a record, but it's probably not.
The point of the post isn't about the ending. It's about the games as a whole. Even if people disagree on its conclusion, you gotta admit Bioware accomplished something pretty significant with the Mass Effect trilogy.

Thanks for actually addressing the topic. You make a good point. Seeing how Bioware was able to create a universe with such a... passionate fanbase (in half a decade, no less) that said fans would analyze it to such a degree is pretty cool.

Especially since the ending was really poor, and undermined all your choices and past plot.

 

I'm not talking about the ending, that is an apparent letdown for many. I'm talking about creating a full trilogy of games, with an actual (albeit controversial) ending, where players choose their own adventure. I believe this has never been done before. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. I'll happily edit my earlier post.

"There is a reason why I don't listen to IGN reviews, Gamespot reviews, or fan reviews...they are all idiots." -you

"I hope they never give out new endings lol." -you

C'mon, you play the contrarian in a lot of threads. Your posts above are meant to get a reaction. They are not constructive.

I would have to agree with Mr. House because I was promised endings that would be affected by all the decisions I made in prior games and it didn't... It was pre-determined to one conclusion.

I agree OP. I takes a lot of talent to be able to design a game that can be story driven and player driven at the same time. But I applaud Bioware for actually sticking to the story design and not catering into the "What the Fans" want mentality that so many development studios do with games. It takes balls to take all the options players have made over 7 years and three games and toss them out the window to finish the story the way Bioware wanted to. I enjoy the fact that characters that I like from ME2 have story archs that are similar to the presented endings of ME3.

It's really well done.
