Does the lack of a happy ending bother you, or the lack of closure?

Honestly, it's the lack of closure coupled with the complete logical disconnect of the ending from the rest of the game. All through the game, I expected Shepard to die in the ending, and I expected it to be handled more like the Ultimate Sacrifice in DA:O.

lack of choice, plot holes, does not fit themes. In that order
Lack of choice entails the lack of both a completely happy and a complete failure ending.
I want my 16 distinct endings.
Hold the Line. Stay Civil.

Closure, I want to see what happens after the battle in shepard's mind.

Did the alliance actually get someone in to the citadel to get it open? The entire team was wiped out according to the game. Was the crucible able to dock with the citadel or was it destroyed in battle? Since we were not able to make it to the beam, are the fleets destroyed? defeated? So many questions to be answered in DLC

the ending feels like despite everything You still lose at the end. when Harbinger shot me ..... i literally felt i lost because I dident move fast enough at least then it was my fault we lost but then i find out they Planned this ending? as the best possible ending? -_- im dissapointed that my time and effort my loyalty was rewarded with and i quote "Lots of speculation" if i wanted to speculate what happend i wouldve imagined the entire game series and cut out the middle man instead of forking over cash to get that abortion of an ending.

If I can only pick one choice, I'd say closure. The game doesn't end so much as stop.

But I really would like that whole gamut of endings, as was the case with ME2, which includes a perfect 'good' ending too.

Just closure for me. The sacrifice was appropriate. That the others live is a happy ending. :)

Its the lack of my choice mattering along with closure and the option of having a happy ending like the other two games.

Closure, but I would have also liked a happy ending.

I was VERY pumped when ME 3 came out and I am a huge fan of the series. So obviously, when they promised the series would come to a satisfying end, I skipped a good night's sleep to play it through and I was so disappointed, I just went to sleep and didn't touch the game for a week. Disappointed, because I didn't feel it resolved anything. That wasn't the Mass Effect I knew. Standard space opera with beautiful presentation. ME 3 was that all the way until the end. Then it tried to be something else, less cliché at the expense of presentation and it didn't fit for me at all.

Happy ending, because I believe that is something they should implement given enough effort. Similar to ME 2, when you did everything right, you could go home with everyone unscathed. I liked that and I liked the feeling I could lose anyone of them ANYTIME during the mission. That was well designed.


This :)

Three people crawling out of a crashed ship and Shepard being a grandpa is a ending?

The lack of both in a game about choices is very troubling.

It didn't make any ****ing sense. Setting aside all the other space magic problems:

I died destroying the Reapers (and apparently all other synthetic life... uh, sorry, EDI? Thanks for helping anyway, Geth brahs). And yet... I'm waking up in rubble at the very end? What the...? Did I? Didn't I? If I DID survive, then that **** in the Catalyst never happened, so... what? Is the war over? Does it rage on? Was that a trollface I saw on Harbinger as it flew away?

Ending a trilogy with "speculation" is a terrible thing to do to their fanbase.

Both. Along the saga you take different choices on diferent characters just to get a diferent closure, it is logical to expect a "happy ending" as one of them.
And even if the ending is not a happy one, every story needs some kind of closure (unless its not really the end of the saga)

Both for me.

I was hoping for at least one happy ending of some sort to fight for, and I assumed that it would fulfil all my closure needs involving rebuilding civilisation and adopting a krogan baby with Kaidan. xD

... What I got was 17 slight variations of the same alarmingly depressing plothole ridden ending that gave me about as much closure as a Garfield comic. >.>

Both, though I bother more about the lack of happy ending...

Bad endings are still ok (not the way it was presented to us) if you make lots of false decisions, a happy end should be hard to achieve (right decisions)...

I don´t want my Shep to fight for nothing... and I want blue offspring, of course!

Both really.

Everything I did during ME1 (40 hours), ME2 (45 hours) and ME3 (39 hours) was rendered worthless by a 10 minute scene. I was looking for closure, answers to questions and I was wondering how my companions would be doing a few months - years after ME3.

And yes, I was also looking for a happy ending. With the amount of choices BioWare normally gives us, there should have been at least 1 ending where Shepard and most of the crew, including LI, survives the final mission. That includes them having a way to get to each other, not marooning one of them on a jungle planet and leaving the other under a pile of rubble on Earth.

I was playing to get that particular ending just as much as getting closure.

While i wouldn't mind a happy ending with Ashley and Shepard's kids running around and uncle Garrus having a beer with Shepard, I just want closure mostly and answers, What are the Reapers TRUE purpose? (although i'm pretty sure they must harvest organics to survive/reproduce) What happened to each of my squad members i want a DETAILED cutscene of what happened to each surviving squad member, I hate having unanswerd questions.

The lack of choice bothers me the most. I was really hoping that ME3 would draw inspiration from Heavy Rain, in terms of variety, and offer multiple endings based on both your EMS and the choices you made from ME1 to ME3. Or variety like in DA:O, for that matter.

And yes, for my Paragon Shep, I absolutely would have wanted to have a "happy" ending, which for me means Shepard survives and is reunited with at least his/her LI. Just as for my Renegade Shep, I would have wanted a sacrifice ending.

So closure on the existing ending is not appealling to me, as it will remain choiceless.

lack of closure, plot holes, and just general lack of choices having an impact.
