The ending gets to the point where it's basically nonsensical.

[Kloreep]

I wasn't looking for a happy ending. I was disappointed because it didn't make sense.

Though I have to say, blowing up the relay network - given what we saw of the effects of relay destruction in Arrival - is incredibly dark.

[redBadger14]

I was upset at the ending simply because there was not a variety of endings and the endings we have had a huge amount of plot holes or "assumed knowledge" (Joker using the Mass Relay or FTL?). Also, huge lack of closure. I appreciate leaving things "open to interpretation," but there needs to be a balance between closure and imagination, and there was way too much left to imagination and no closure at all.

To "fix" the endings, there should be a good "happy" ending, a middle-of-the-road sad ending, and a really bad "loss" ending. The ending you get should be determined by your choices throughout all three games, and who knows maybe there can be little variations in each, also dependent on your choices.

For the plot holes, that one is easy, simply elaborate info thats already there and fill in info where it's missing.

Altogether, that would make the endings a hell of a lot better. And what I stated really isn't too much to ask of BioWare. Part of me wonders if we all would have been better off if BioWare delayed ME3 a month or two so they were able to actually complete the endings. As they stand, they are like half-endings.

i liked that shepard died. i liked everything else, except for the three options we had to choose from.

[Prudii Aden]

I dislike the endings largely because they make no sense, but also because there is no choice apart from three disheartening endings.

[Brawne]

Because it doesnt make any sense, is full of plotholes and pees allover everything you accomplished.

[admcmei]

Both, honestly. Again, in a game like Mass Effect, it doesn't make ANY sense whatsoever that in the end, in the pivotal moment of a game made of choices and different outcomes, you have no other option than dying and destroying galactic civilization in the process. Nobody I think wants one single specific ending and stop: we want a few different ones, but REALLY different.

[Erethrian]

Happy or not I don't care, I just want an ending that makes sense. The ending ME (and our Shepards) deserve, even if s/he dies. Closure, I (we) don't want millions of questions and "Lots of speculation for everyone". Even if the Indoctrination theory makes sense to me, that doesn't mean that the ending's fine, not at all, it just means that they can leave this ending as it is and continue with the real one. If they don't, then simply fix the endings.

I'd be fine if Shepard died - the theme of ME3 was sacrifice. But I was hoping his sacrifice wouldn't spell the insta-death of tens of billions of lives or wouldn't be to serve some abstract big idea divorced from anything he cares about.

I'd be fine with a happy ending, as long as there was some acknowledgement of what was lost. So, no medal ceremony, but maybe a scene of a child survivor emerging from the rumble on Earth with a toy Normandy or something.

[Akamai83]

I both disliked it because it made no sense and because I didn't have the option for a happier ending (along with a bad ending). Since the game was supposed to reflect the choices you made and all.

[Scitenik]

I want my damn happy ending, because I earned it over the course of three games. But people are confusing happy for "everything is magically fine now." Thessia is still wiped out, Earth is still devastated, Pavalen is probably in a similar state, a lot of people have died and sacrificed themselves. The reapers getting defeated isn't going to magically undo that, and there would still be a LOT left to do.

But I still want a bad ending too, and a sad ending, and a worst case scenario, and so on, because having choices is always nice, and frankly, what I tend to expect from Bioware games.

I don't know, maybe the varied endings of Dragon Age: Origins set the bar too high. But the ending of Dragon Age: Origins and the ways it could diverge was kind of what I was expecting from ME3.

I agre on that two points. Endings of Mass Effect 2 were perfect for me because they cover the whole range. Why did they not reproduce the same schematics for Mass Effect 3?

[Swisspease]

sense ending make the doesn't Because

[Papito208]

Because whether i chose to be a harass renegade, a captain save them all paragon or a mild mannered in betweeny it all came down to a space baby giving options that made any and all connections ive made in the past hundred plus hours all for naught with colored explosions that pretty much should have killed everyone

[VigilancePress]

I apologize for the length of this post, but when I created a new thread with this it was quickly buried by posts with more exciting titles.

http://social.biowar.../index/10254305

TL:DR? Replay value. I want to enjoy playing all three games again, this is why I want a new ending.

Bit of both.

I hate the ending because it makes no sense.

I hate the ending because I have no choice over how it turns out: whether it's sad, pyrrhic or happy.

That choice should be up to us, based upon our decisions and merits throughout the series' story, and even with a happy end the plot has had a great deal of death, loss and destruction so even if the game ended with sunshine and bunnies you could argue it'd be a pyrrhic ending.

Why end a story that has seen so much death and devastation with yet more bleakness? If I wanted to hang myself I wouldn't be playing computer games.

[Bellendaine]

A little of each, actually ... and I don't need sunshine and bunnies happy, just a chance for Shep to survive and reunite with the LI happy. The galaxy is still boned for a long, long time either way, that's not exactly happy ...

[JPR1964]

I like to choose and was prepared to play multiple times to experiment every ending possible...

Tell me about a disappointment...  

One ending to rule them all...

JPR out!

I hated it cause it didn't make sense and was unbelievably unsatisfying. When Shepard and Anderson had "the best seats in the house" at the end. I thought that was the ending and that Shepard was about to die along with Anderson. And I was satisfied. I thought Shepard was going to die, the Crucible was going to do something to weaken the Reapers, so that the war assets could be tallied up and depending on the score determines what races survived and what the state of the galaxy was after the Reaper War.

So no, I didn't need a happy ending. I needed a logical one.

[goose2989]

Can't we have both? Mass Effect is all about choice, and I really don't think it's ridiculous of fans to ask Bioware for a cheerful ending. I honestly thought the worst case, WORST CASE, in the "optimal" ending of the game that Shepard would die. Worst case scenario

[CarolSephard]

First of all, i need the ending to make sense instead of making plotholes. I'm ok with either Shepard lives or not.

[Fame-KIllz]

God, do people actually read the forums? It's been said a billion times why the ending isn't liked and with hundreds of reasons.

[Victia]

Both OP! Mostly that the ending didnt make any sence but honestly I would have loved there to be an option for a happy ending, and I would have loved an epic 'the reapers win you moron' fail ending but thats may just be me and my love of diversity lol

there a poll where 80% of people voted they disliked the ending because it wasn't a happy ending.

Really? I personally love bad endings because they are hard to come by. 95% of holliwood movies and 99% of games are good endings. Do we need more on the list?

On the other side, I agree the ending doesn't really make much sense to me.

What's your thoughts?

Well I personally don't like bad endings. Why would I watch a movie or play a game that upsets me? 

Bad endings are cliche. People trying to be "different' is cliche. That's all I see nowadays is people trying to break away from the norm. Why build a series based on certain principles then throw all that away in the pursuit of setting yourself apart from the rest?
