 Things that made the ending noteworthy:

I particularly appreciated the lack of a final "big boss" battle. The developers decided to go with a cinematic end, and that was perfect. 30 minutes of interactive cinema. Mass Effect isn't just another game. The epilogue shows it.
As for the lack of a happy ending for Shepard, well, from the moment you talk to your long time friends and squadmates, in London, the feeling that Shepard isn't going to come back from its last mission is quite evident. You still hope he/she will, but that just makes the run to the final moments so intense.

What I would have hoped for was an extended sequence during the final sacrifice showing Shepard thinking and seeing the final moments of all your squadmates and known characters, leaving the LI as the last one, as a way for him to bid them goodbye. I would have also liked to see during the credits what were the consequences of all your decisions during the game, like what happens to geth and quarians if you made them live on the same planet, and what happens to the krogans now that they are cured from the genophage, etc.

Epilogue:  A short addition or concluding section at the end of a literary work, often dealing with the future of its characters. Also called afterword.

Perhaps you have a different game than I do because the game I played gives very little, if any, information about the actual fate of the main characters or supporting characters.

I like how you say you liked the ending, then complain about the same things a lot of people complain about the ending.

Yeah, I'll give you that much. In that respect Mass Effect is one of a kind.

Right, I'll reword: I don't complain. I would have liked "more time" with the characters I loved, true, but I understand why the ending gives you no clues on many things. In that way, I can decide for myself how the universe my Shepard helped shape is going to evolve and what the characters I liked most will live from then on. Not everything should be explained. I respect that decision.

Anyway, back on track: anyone else liked the ending as it is now?

Nope. I hated those last minutes.

[Pelle6666]

I didn't anyway.

[shinobi602]

I despised it with all my heart.

It gave me no answers, the plotholes were outrageous, and left me speechless trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

My Shepard would have never accepted the 3 fates given before him. He never would have succumbed right away to that damn...thing.

Oh yeah, I love plotholes, deus ex machina, disregarding past themes, and logical fallacies *thumbs up*

It's not that there is no happy ending (which I consider BS seeing how my actions "would affect the ending")  it's that the ending has *horrible* implications.  A massive inferred holocaust that negates *everything* you had done through teh series.

Taken in isolation, it was a good ending. Put into the context of the Mass effect series, however, it is very detached and raises/leaves too many questions.

[Karrie788]

I hate the last ten minutes of the game with a burning passion. The last screen prompting to buy DLC made me want to kick puppies.

Good for you that you liked the endings, though.

Thanks for your views Casey. Looking foward to your next post on another account.

The problem is that at some point the game had to end, and at some point we were always going to have to say goodbye to our friends. I think it helps to think of the entire third game as an ending.

Yes, I actually liked the ending of the ending, it made me thoughtful.

Taken in isolation, the ending strikes me as still hackneyed. Never trust a ghost that tells you he built a race of Synthetics to harvest Organics to protect them from Synthetics. EVER.

Ah, the oversimplified solution for any hater who's gonna hate...Reapers are billions of organic minds uploaded into an organic/synthetic hybrid; they are not simply 'synthetics".

lol, the mindless drivel of a person desperate to justify himself.

Should the response to that be "I know you are but what am I?"

Maybe it would have been a good ending in Deus E....oh wait...

While it would be nice for people to take on board the subtle differences when talking about using synthetics to stop organics being killed by synthetics, the other side still has to recognise the deeply flawed logic being used. Or is that both sides? 

Either way, flawed logic in the ending(s).

We're all true fans, or we wouldn't be here talking about this.

As    HI--LARIOUS as that image is, it shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the game. 

If you simplify things to that degree you get this. 

The solution to the rachni.

'YO DAWG, I HEARD YOU DONT WANT TO BE KILLED BY BRUTAL MONSTERS SO I MADE A BUNCH OF BRUTAL MONSTERS TO KILL YOUR BRUTAL MONSTERS'

The reapers, just like the krogan, were the best solution to a problem at the time.
