So yes I finally finished the storyline. I realize it took me a lot longer than most but I blame a lack of play time and my tendencies toward alt-itis. 

I was expecting some horrible half ass phony ending, something that would warrant all the pained screams from the Bioware faithful that I've been hearing for weeks.  I was expecting to be disgusted and angry and to harbor a general feeling of being cheated. 

I don't get it. The ending was artful, gripping, dramatic and fitting for such an epic series. So why all the butthurt? I mean people screamed enough to actually make Bioware go back and decide to augment and tweak what was a suprisingly artful climax to the series. 

I imagine in a different time the same people would threaten Shakespeare's life for killing off Romeo and Juliet. Where people expecting to go back to Rannoch and dry hump tali's wetsuit or something? 

tl;dr someone explain why everyone is crying about this...to the point of threatening the creators etc. It's crazy to me. 

To Bioware, thank you for the excellent experience and story. It was truly a bar-raising event.

Because it wasn't rainbows and ponies, you know.

IA, OP. IA.

[Evil_medved]

No ponies and rainbows.

Wow, totally new and original trolling attempt here. No one has tried this one before, you are a unique and special snowflak!

Here's an explanation for you in literary terms:

If you didn't notice the plot holes or question the reason why we needed a literal deus ex machina to finish the game then good for you. I only wish I could be on your level.

Having an opinion other than your own, does not make someone a troll.

Seems legit.

So zetta slow, OP. We've been through this numerous times. Looking at the front page could probably answer your question.

No, it doesn't at all, but titling your post 'why is everyone so butthurt' does!

But if you insist that it is too long and you won't read it, don't pretend to understand why so many people have argued so strongly, just say that you're too bored to find out and accept the endings as they are.

There are numerous plot holes, major portions of the game don't make sense, and your affect on the end (opening up the synthesis option) is based on something we now know was arbitrary the entire time.

Not to mention the "best" ending is just what Saren wanted in ME1, so it doesn't really make sense to kill him in ME1 in retrospect.....

I won't go into it, many threads cover the ending's issues in depth.  For most of us it has nothing to do with the ending being happy or not.  I personally didn't think there possibly could be a happy ending, I didn't even want a happy one.  Just one that made sense and made me feel like I didn't just waste over 100 hours of my life and over $200 (DLC prices included).

Agreed.

[Equlan]

There are extremely many topics already detailing their (our) reasons for disliking the ending. This article is a pretty good summary of many reasons, but not all, that one might have for disliking the ending.

OP, just pick a random thread and read if you are ACTUALLY curious.

I enjoy how the kids raised on Final Fantasy 7 and later games from the playstation era onwards have been taught that terrible writing without explaining is artful. The more plot-holes and unexplained bits the better, right, because that makes it thought-provoking. XD

Ok granted that probably wasn't the best way to present the question, but it truly boggles me...the sheer amount of hatred and vitriole that was levelled at bioware for this ending seems wildly overreactive to the actual content of the ending.

[Pelle6666]

No sense and logic, no heroic climax that we have waited for since the start, no explanation worth mentioning, all characters are marooned on a random planet, the universe as we know it is destroyed, all the races are ****ed back to the stone age and stuck on earth.

Yeah, what is there to not like really.

[Baafee]

As many, you believe that we think the ending is bad because Shepard dies.

You're wrong.

[Militarized]

I really didn't like replaying the story of Sisyphus in sci-fi form.

Don't lump us in with those people. I was raised through the PS1 era and enjoyed Final Fantasy 7 and I still think the ending is horrible.

vitriole and clarify... god damn, these two words are trendy all of a sudden...

[goofyomnivore]

I don't get it. The ending was artful, gripping, dramatic and fitting for such an epic series.

I'm curious what were a few of your favorite parts that left such an impression?
