I hate it because it doesn't make any sense, and is incredibly lazy looking compared to the rest of an otherwise BEAUTIFUL game. It's like hitting a super model in the face with a crowbar.

[TarielMaeda]

I'm in the camp of I'm not happy with it because it's obvious sequel DLC bait, especially when you get the "Shepard LIVES" ending where you see him/her take a breath on earth.

[cyrrant]

We want the full spectrum of endings, not just good or bad.

[Claym0re]

Listen to this and say its a fulfilling ending.

[LightweightJustice]

It doesn't make any happy sense.

We want a choice of endings that range from good to bad so everyone can end their game how they want to.

Just this.

This is the main idea.

Nobody can force others to ''accept'' their ending. If you worked for a good one , you should get a good one.

If you acted as a ''any means necessary guy '' then you should get your kind of ending too.

Aside from the ridiculous plot holes and nonsensical Reaper Logic.... we are basicly forced to pick 3 screwed up solutions and no,  I didn't play 3 games to see all of my efforts go to waste.

That is a diagram of an example of how the endings should have been.

I want this, I want it NOW!

Even if it costs 1,600 Bioware Points!

This does not sound like "We synthetics destroy organics because all organics create other synthetics that will destroy all organics".

I think I've found the solution to it all. This code fragment of the star child AI should clarify everything.

...
Do
{
    IAsyncResult<IOrganicLife> asyncResult = Evolution.CreateOrganicLifeFormesThatAreAbleForSpaceTravelAsync();

    Thread.Sleep(50000 * 365 * 24 * 3600 * 1000);
    IOrganicLife organicLife = asyncResult.GetResult();
   
    // TODO: implement a check if it is really necessary to wipe out the organics
    if (true)
    {
        reapers.WipeOut(organicLife);
    }
}
while (organicLife.Extinct && organicLife.ReasonForExtinction == ReasonForExtinction.KilledBySynthetics);

I'm a huge fan of Disney endings, myself.

"Old Yeller" in particular.

This is an honest question. Who seriously wasn't expecting a happy ending? I would think that everyone who had played Mass Effect was expecting to able to choose no? Maybe your choices throughout the series and at the end wouldn't have led to a happy ending but did you honestly expect there not to be an option for one?

Considering how much of the Paragon options were based on faith despite any contrary evidence, I'll raise my hand here. A lot of the Paragon community was analogous to the game's depiction of the pre-Cerberus Coup Citadel: denying the magnitude of the upcoming problems that would punch them in the face. There was certainly a strong community sentiment of 'if the Collectors were that easy, and we beat Sovereign by teamwork, the real Reapers will be a pushover and/or just kill those nameless off-screen people.'

Now, did the ending happen as I expected? No. But any scenario in which Shepard walked away was one I expected some serious costs to accompany.

[Dot.Shadow]

I disliked the fact that there is ONLY a sad ending. There should be a multitude to "choose" from. I'd actually prefer if there were more dark endings than good ones. Having extreme requirements for the happy end is the way to go, while less effort = the worse the ending you get is.

Sad endings are plenty about nowadays.

[Estelindis]

I'd like an ending that is both happy (or at least somewhat happy) and that makes sense, but I'll take sense any day if I can only have one. The ending was inconsistent with everything that came before in the franchise and with Shepard's character as established from the beginning up to five minutes before the end.

[Brahlis]

Both. I want the options.

[Rafe Sendron]

I don't like it because it doesn't make any sense when taken in context with the rest of the series. However, I don't mind bittersweet endings or even depressing endings. Having said that, I do believe that if Bioware truly doesn't want to make any more Mass Effect games with Shepard in them, I see no reason why a "happy" ending where he lives and settles down with whomever the player chooses couldn't be an option that was included along with the sad/bittersweet endings. Why not let the players decide how they wanted to end Shepard's story?

[Grayvern]

I wish people would tak into account that even an ending n which the hero mostly gets what he wants can still be bittersweet, such as Fools Fate by Robin Hobb.

Doesn't make sense. Plot holes etc.

Personally I expected a degree of deus ex machina, and while the crucible isn't because it's said from the beginning that it could kill the entire reaper force it's the same principle. The war can only be won with an I WIN button.

Likewise, after ME 2's not-exactly-suicide mission, I had a feeling Shephard wasn't walking away this time.

I didn't expect them to take a damn scythe to the entire universe and kill just about everyone you interact with in the entire game.

I expected the 'happy ending' to be shunted onto side characters, people you helped and assisted during the game, that sort of thing. I know that's what they were thinking with the crash landing ending, but I don't think anybody took it that way, me included (unintended team dextro consequences not withstanding).

Saying that, happy endings are not bad writing. Badly written endings (like this one) are bad writing, and reaching for the grimdark because you think it's a good way to get across a message of sacrifice is as futile as it is desperate.

And finally, an 'ending' is not supposed to introduce two or three entirely new unexplored concepts. That's what the game's for. The ending is meant to resolve the issues and ideas raised during the game, not ignore them and talk about its new fangled ideas it found down the back of the fridge.

[Baine10]

The ending didn't end the series. It was more premise than resolution.

That's my F*cking problem.

[Midarenkov]

Happy ending is not required. However, as is the ending not only contradicts what we know of ME background (aka lore), it even goes so far so as to contradict itself. It's almost impressive.

[Grayvern]

Depends whether you see Mass Effect as an integral story or three games about the same person in the same universe as to opinion in the crucible.

i don't care if shep dies. i just want it to make sense...

[Kastrenzo]

Can I say both?

The endings were "sad" Morbid, whatever, but they still had a lot of senseless moments,
I mean, I got a little comfort from seeing Tali getting off the Normandy Alive *Only because EDI Was killed, and by default I think it makes your LI Get off the ship instead of Joker if she's gone*

Combined with the whole Biowaretroll Breathing incident.

that gave me a little comfort but you're not supposed to end a series on a cliffhanger, you're not supposed to let people fill in the blanks for themselves. if they wanted to fill in the blanks they'd be writing their own fantasies and such *well, I'm aware that some people already do that but it's not the point*

Would I be unoriginal for thinking the crucible was just a giant death lazor that kills reapers

It seemed reasonable to me.

Doesn't make any sense.
Plotholes are introduced in the last 5 minutes.
Mass Effect franchise is butchered, no relays no ME 4 (without Shep of course), not a ME any of us can recognize. Stargazer scene suggests that the relays weren't rebuilt.

[dos1990]

I hate the endings becasue it makes no sense. the god VI tells u "oh well organics make machines and then those machines kill the organics so the only way we can save u from getting killed by machines is by killing u with our machines" WTF that is redundent!

also i knew shepard was gonna die, it was something everyone should've know it was comming the problem is i expected atleast so closure to the LI or other squad mates.
And yes a happy ending would've been nice. not expected but nice.
