Look at this cliche Hollywood ending, is that what you want for Mass Effect?

Hahaha.

Er... yes, of course. I always want my sci-fi fatalistic with a side-order of chronic depression. >>

Man I remembered when Mass Effect was this childish. I wish Shepard would have just stayed buried under that pile of rubble instead of walking out all triumphantly with unicorns flying over him. Then, instead of choosing a new councilor and resolving to stop the Reapers we could have a 5 second scene where we see him take a breath, crushed under rubble.

Lots of speculation from everyone?

There isn't enough speculation from everyone. This ending blows.

I mean really, it has an outright victory. It has triumphant music. It has the hero rising from the ashes in a completely cliche manner.
This is not what Mass Effect is about, Mass Effect is dark and grim. Happy endings have no place in this very dark and utterly not inspiring universe.

And now you can see why Mass Effect cannot have happy endings ever.


Isn't the Bioware saying, "the director, actor, etc" of your own story? 

Guess they've turned on that ethic in a rather big way. Wish they could have given notice a bit less obtrusively.

That was the most cheesest, cliche, and predictible endings ever...... and was a million times better then the ME3 ending.

And the Deus Ex Machina and the hero sacrificing himself at the end isn't a cliche Hollywood ending? I'm sorry but "grim and dark" does not make an ending somehow better, in much the same way that a "bright and happy" ending doesn't make an ending bad. What matters is the writing and how it pertains to the story.

Saying that Mass Effect can not or has to do anything is going against the entire idea behind Mass Effect.

I don't think it's the dark nature of the ending that bothers people. It's the plotholes that lead to a not very "definitive" ending. I mean...we've been chasing the reapers for how many years, and we really don't even know if they are defeated or not.

Yeah, that kind of ending wouldn't fit ME at all.
Wait, what?

Just to clarify: I'm all for a bittersweet ending, as long as it makes sense and has atleast some sweet with the bitter. Shepard dies, galaxy is safe, that's the ultimate ending imo.

 Why did Sovereign need Saren to find the Conduit anyway?  It's not like Saren needed help getting to the Citadel before Sovereign made him act like an idiot :).

Such a terrible ending... I mean, what game DOES that? Certainly not Mass Effect.

That'd be a good start, yeah. As one option of the 16 we are supposed to get.

Yeah, watching that makes me feel even more depressed. Such a grim grim universe this Mass Effect is.

I think its pretty obvious at this point that as far as happy and sad endings go, most people want a wide range of outcomes. 

Its no wonder Bioware is abandoning the norms of RPGs when people seem to hate options so much.

Seriously think you are missing the point here...

It is a dig at all the people claiming the game HAS to end in a certain way, as opposed to give options

Totally subverts the artistic integrity of Mass Effect. What the hell were they thinking with Mass Effect 1's ending?!

It's funny, I was thinking ME3 was going to end something like ME1.

The run to the beam reminded me of ilos, TIM shooting himself reminded me of saren. Then it went all matrix on me.
