Didn't they just tack on the end of "Knowing"
to ME 3?

No?

I didn't even notice.

Ahh, the good ol' days.

[TheShadowWolf911]

ill take it over the ending we got now.

[QuarianHIV]

Can't possibly find this kind of ending in a BW game. No way.

I know the post is a joke, and a good one of that, but on the subject of ''dark'' fiction.

I would say millions (billions?)of deceased and a galactic community that will need years to rebuild itself is dark enough.

But hell, even if the game ended with Shepard panting, losing blood and slowly choking on his own blood while the Reapers destroy the whole galaxy would be better than Space Kid shenanigans. I can live with dark. I can't live with incomprehensible, illogical and out of friggin' nowhere.

If they wanted dark, hey, why not go all the way? Show every last one of the war assets we put so much effort into getting and watch them all get destroyed by the Reapers' much mightier force. End with Shepard choking on his own blood. There, now that's dark. But it ain't outright stupid.

On a serious note... yeah.. I dont get how an ending with Shepard and co surviving, being the hardest one of all the options would be considered "happy", if you weight in all the planets razed, all the people mutilated and  murdered...

Taboo said so very well on his post, that ending would be more like the Seven Samurai

Who wrote that ending?

That's just ridiculous who wants to actually see the hero win the fight? That is SO 2007...

LOTS OF SPECULATION FOR EVERYONE!!!

btw great memories too bad they're ripped to pieces in the end.

[Rob_Nix]

the ending we got was cliche, IMO

[Unschuld]

 You're right, OP. That cliched hollywood ending of Mass Effect has no place in Mass Effect at all.

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.

No. That ending was great, this is Mass Effect not Deus Ex.

THAT IS HOW YOU DO AN ENDING.

I miss the good ol' days.

I liked the part where the rainbow came out with the little mermaid army and blew bubbles at the teddy bear.

[dointime85]

Anyone remember this dark ending?



That's the kind of dark ending i'd like together with one from the OP for a brighter one.

Jesus christ, you're right. Holy ****, I remember hating that ending too hahahah

[Baronesa]

Oh my...

The amount of people not getting it is astounding xD

[Hatire]

Man, those disney endings sure lack speculation for everyone, any possible conflicts for future content, and space magics! 
We can never allow those into our ME universe! 

[MPSai]

Goddamn I forgot how good the ending is. Still like ME2's more though...

[Cigarette Smoking Man]

Heroic music? Pfft. Who needs that. I'd rather be moody and dark and depressed in my basement thanks so much guys because it has to be dark and grimy and edgy because you know I need to have those things in my life because my life is soft as hell my mom just got me some more kentucky fried chicken MOM I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A SHOWER

[idunhavaname]

Who the hell says we only want happy endings?

Y U PPL NO READ?!?!?!

Also, ending we got is cliche. Deus ex machina much.

Wow. People really are missing the boat!

Some people have a hard time swimming, frankly.

The real world is depressing enough and will likely have an actual bad ending so is it bad that I want my fiction to end with the big f'ing hero standing atop the bodies of all who stood in their way complete with their blue alien girlfriend by their side and their friends at their back?

[Kreid]

I'll repost what i just wrote in another thread.

I said...
What it hurts the most is the shift at the end of the game, there's an obvious schism between the last part on Earth and the rest of the game, it's like BioWare went full hard sci-fi mode all of a sudden, from the Space Opera setting with a few sour notes here and there but hope and unity as the main theme they go into deep though philosophical mode and then put in your hands three incredibly significant and morally ambiguous choices with little to no context of in-depth explanation about them.

It's a disorienting change of thematic that contradicts many of the ideas all three games stood up for until that point and provides an ending out of sync with what people were expecting, which in a sense I applaud because in it's premise is more appropriate for a quality piece of literature than the stock Hollywood ending the game seemed to heading for, the problem is that you can't just make a 180ª degree change like that whenever you want, you must be consequent with your own story

The ending isn't bad, it is however heavily underdeveloped and kind of comes out of nowhere because it is tonally different with everything prior it, I understand why BioWare did it, but you can't just shift from Hollywood/SPace Opera style to hard sci-fi in the last moments of a trilogy.

Uh the Mass Effect ending is a direct ripoff from Deus Ex and IS a cliche.  Termnator, Matrix, same BS cliche.

I like Sarcasm

[Fdmatt]

It's that theme of sacrifice, always been leading up to Shepard being the whipping boy of some spacebaby. Can't have a triumphant ending. Just doesn't fit with the series.

Listen. Mass Effect 1 and 2, the background was either blue or red.

THEY GAVE YOU GREEN!

[Zulufoxtrot]

Coulda gone with a Starship Troopers ending. It's happy upbeat violent but still leaves room for...LOTS OF SPECULATION!!!
