I personally absolutely loved the ending(s) and would hate to see them  retconned. I believe that many people didn't like to have to make the hard choices and wanted a win all and save all scenario. This is unrealistic and would have made no sense in a galactic war with machines.

Further elaboration would be welcomed but don't change what is already there.

Edit: I am not a troll, I just appreciate the end as I know many others do, I am happy to hear your opinions and counter-arguments, but simply asserting I am wrong or a troll gets you nothing.

If I want harsh realism, I look to CNN World News, not my game library.

Yup.
Because multicolor waves of magical energy is realistic.
After all, this is a classical fantasy RPG we are playing, so, why not?

No. People didn't like the plot holes, disregard of their choices, sudden shift in themes, out of character actions, lack of closure... If by having to make hard choices you mean being railroaded into genocide, then yes, that's part of the problem.

Just what I thought.

OP. So you don't mind that your choices doesn't matter? I mean, the choices before the last one, the only one that matter.

It's just sad, this ending

wow that was unexpected

@OP

Please read this before making ANY further comments on why people don't like the endings. Your ignorance is painful. Thanks!

this is what i thought Shepard should have told the Starchild then radio Joker to pick him up and enjoy the rest of his live with his friends and his LI.

Even with a different ending, a win-all save-all scenario is impossible. Characters you know have already died on the way there, planets are devastated, and billions of people are dead. The happiest possible ending would still have these things be true. I'm not sure what your point is, basically.

If he happens to like the endings, then that's fine with me, even though I personally don't.

It shouldn't be our place to judge him.

i hate when people say something is unrealistic when talking about FICTION.... idk just seems silly

[jstme]

I am happy for you.
For me that huge cubicle that took so much effort to make being nothing more then just a virus-infected flash drive that connected to transparent kid and rewrote him to be capable to present me with 3 options i did not agree to, and then seeing the Normandy crash somewhere ,eh,else with guys who were with me on Earth and then seeing the gasp - did not cut it. Even the much more logical suggestions by people that it is just a dream of dying Shepard did not cut it.

By "unrealistic", I think the majority of people mean that it is unrealistic for the Mass Effect universe.  It doesn't fit in with established Mass Effect lore at all; it just throws the spirit, themes, and explanations of the previous games out the window.

[Exolyps]

I stopped reading at "You will have to make hard choices".

I don't have to make any choices at all. I can randomly click all the dialog options and still get the exact same ending. That's NOT what a game that made itself proud of giving you choices that matter should do.

An EMP-type wave is exactly what I would expect out of a Sci-Fi game, many of you seem to foget that we are playing in a science fiction future.

thought after everything i did all the choices i made all the steps that took me to the point of the 3 choices was worth it, and i gladly ran into the merge beam. Thought the ending was brilliant. Knowing what happend to my squad would of been nice but end of the day the story of shepard will be told and the reaper cycle is over.

whats wrong with that ending?

Because I actually agree with the freedom of Bioware to create it's endings any way it sees fit that makes me a Troll?

I also seems to forget when the Space Magic was introduced.

Would you expect from sci-fi future an EMP-like wave that somewhow unites synthetic "DNA"(???) and organic DNA?

Yet another someone who doesn't understand why the endings suck.

I had no expectation of Shepard living past ME3. I would have liked there to be a Shepard lives ending, but I would have been under no illusions that it would have been a paradise ending. Bittersweet would be the best ending I would have wanted.

What we got was an ending that introduced a new character (Starkid), and new concepts with no foreshadowing, and no explanation other than "Ok, you're here, this is what you need to do."

The StarKid completely negates the plot of ME1, since if he's the Citadel and controls the reapers, why would he need Sovereign to open the relay to start the Reaperization of the galaxy? He wouldn't, since he's already a part of the relay he wanted open. Saren? Sovereign? The Conduit? Ilos? COMPLETELY F-ING MEANINGLESS.

Not to mention that the Kid controls the reapers, and he is thus our enemy, the force behind the main antagonists this whole series. Why the F*CK should we listen to him? Why do we have to choose between the choices that he gives us? AND we aren't allowed to tell him he's full of crap, or to argue with him in any meaningful way.

THIS is why the endings suck, not because we didn't get a rainbows and puppies and flowers blooming perfect ending. We got an ending that made no sense at all.
