The lack of a happy ending is the biggest issue for me. There should be a good happy ending, a bittersweet one, and a total loss ending, and the outcome should be based off of people's performances from all 3 games.

Happy ending would be great. But the end needs to make sense first. And the end of ME3 was both depressing and confusing.

I want choices. That includes a happy ending and a total fail, Reapers win ending.

 I want the possibility of a "happy ending" (as if anything could be more than bittersweet after all the deaths, the fall of Thessia, etc). It's not against the feel of the series at all. Everyone in ME2 spent the whole time talking about how it was a suicide mission and that we'd probably all die but you could finish with absolutely no people dead whatsoever, right down to the kidnapped crew, if you made the right choices. Personally I chose to never have a 100% success playthrough because it felt a bit weird after all that talk but it's nice to have the options, and we were promised options...

[meisjoe]

I tend to agree with you for the most part. Extended endings (which are actually unique from one another) and a sequence that reflects all the choices we made through the series would be fine by me.

On the other hand, I don't think the people wanting "new" endings are off-base either. The whole series has been about choices... adding in more choices wouldn't damage the game - it would improve it.

Personally I could care less about a happy ending, but when I think about everything so far in the mass effect series if they dont strive for a happy ending than it doesnt make much sense. They strived to allow you to save your whole crew and teammembers in ME2 for a happy ending if you tried hard enough. Why shouldn't it be the same here?

They have already set it up with expectations, but anyway thats just my thoughts.

The ME3 ending was **** not because of the hopelessness, but because of the lack of: logic, choises, a  proper conclusion and a decent spacebattle scene.

Do many of you disagree? Would you accept this deus-ex monstrosity of an ending just if your shepard and his mates lived happily ever after? If so, shame on you. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't mind it if a happy outcome was possible, if difficult to attain, but the lack of this is in no way the real issue.

Just felt I had 2 clear the air.

Big difference between Deus Ex and ME3, the way Deus Ex endings were presented was a monstrosity, the endings were actually quite good. ME had the same horrible ending presentation, but had horrible endings as well.

I don't see how any ending period could technically be what one would call a "happy ending".

I could see an ending on a brighter note, reapers defeated, squadies survive(if you prepared well enough).
However, Earth, Palaven, Thessia and other worlds would still be in ruins, with billions of people dead accross the galaxy.
The scale of devestation throughout the Galaxy is just so immense that would probally take centuries for the Galaxy to fully recover.

I don't see that in any way being a happy ending.

[_symphony]

the issue is that BioWare promised that your choices would affect the ending, but you get always the same one.

[The Executioner]

Believe it, there's far more to it then that though, or you don't mind overlooking an absolutely nonsensical resolution.

Interview with Mike Gamble (Associate Producer)

“There are many different endings. We wouldn’t do it any other way. How could you go through all three campaigns playing as your Shepard and then be forced into a bespoke ending that everyone gets? But I can’t say any more than that…”

I don't want a 'happily ever after' ending, and I agree that it would be ridiculous to have Shepard and every single member of his team survive. The problem with the ending is not that Shepard dies in most of them, but that his death doesn't seem worthwhile. Galactic civilization still collapses.

If Shepard and some of the crew of the Normandy are going to die, it should be offset by galactic civilization being saved. It should also not come at the price of Shepard having to betray one faction of his allies,.

I don't want a rainbows and puppies ending. I want an ending that provides closure and satisfaction. Even though there were a lot of sacrifices I want to feel like the hero of a trilogy I spent hours on dammit.

[r00tb33r]

I'm ok with Shep dying, as Casey Hudson said, its a story of sacrifice. However they did a poor job wrapping up the story, and that's the major beef gamers have.

I want my ICE CREAM REAPERS!

Haven't you heard? The endings are "inspirational."

The bizarre thing is that Bioware did such an outstanding job in writing the heroic sacrifice scenes for two of your old ME2 squadmates, but failed when it came to Shepard.

THIS!

[Doctoglethorpe]

I'm so tired of this debate.

First, most people aren't even asking for a happy ending only a coherent and satisfying one.

Second, whats wrong if some of us actually do want a happy feel-good ending?  Theres a lot of **** going on in the world thats depressing enough already.  Some people like to get some balance in their life by playign games/movies/music.  Nothing wrong with that at all.

That ironic contradiction pretty much sums up our entire movement in one sentence.  I'm gonna put that in my sig. 

[Forsythia]

I for one don't care if the ending is happy or not, I want an ending that makes sense. Adding something like the spacekid in the final five minutes of the series does not make sense.

[Metalrocks]

i dont want a happy ending only. i want to have the choice to get a happy ending or a bad ending or even a neutral ending. so this means when i did the right choices throughout the games, i should get a victory ending or a defeat ending when i did the wrong choices. and of course they all should make sense and clear things up

i want an ending that gives me the feeling that everything i have done in the last 2 games, matters.
when i play as a renegade or paragon, i still should have the option how the game should end. either i kick the reapers ass out of the system, get control over them or fail and become slaves of the reapers.

This is the wrong place for this discussion. I can't discuss the ME3 endings in detail here without spoilers' and this is a no spoiler forum but there are alot of things that could be explained better in ME3's endings. It's not about wanting a 'happy ending' I just want answers to alot of my questions.

How did all my squad mates end up on earth, I left most of them on the Normandy in Space.I had two squad mates with me in the final stretch of the game, what happened to them? The Normandy is shown flying somewhere in the end, where is it going and why, surely it was on earth ( it can land you know ) since all my ME3 squadmates magically appeared on earth. After it crashes certain squadmates step out of it, how did they get back on, did everyone get back on or only a handful of them? Where does the Normandy end up? Why can't I ask the Catalyst questions? I don't understand what exactly happens in that sequence with TIM, Anderson and Shepard, I feel there is more going on than meets the eye. There are alot more issue and questions but those will do for now.
