This should be a newspaper headline.
"BIOWARE REFUSES TO PICK A COLOUR. CHOOSES HAPPY ENDING INSTEAD."

WIN.

Funny thing is the cupcake analogy only really works if each color of frosting comes with varying flavors. Some cupcakes result in complete destruction of all life, some result in the Normandy crew not surviving, a couple of them result in Shepard surviving, etc. But then you'd get cupcakes labelled "A1", "A2", "A3", and so on. More honest, but less funny.

it's gonna suck ass when we get the reports of all those kids who ate the poisoned cupcakes.

What, A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, and C? There's still only six endings. And it's like, a dark red, a red, and a pink, a blue, and a light blue, and a green. They STILL all taste the same and there's really only 3 endings, because we pretty much have to just imagine the consequences based off of one scene where the soldiers die and/or the buildings are destroyed.

Heck, honestly there's really only one ending. With no idea what happened afterwards, and you get the same scenes regardless, it feels like its the same one, even if its not.

Thats the point. They got what they gave us...

No they didn't.  They didn't give us the endings out of spite.

A) You don't know this. I don't think so either, but w/e. You seem to be one of those people that just dislikes people doing anything but raising their hands and shouting hallelejuh to Bioware- based on your posts. This was just a funny way to get our point across.
Incompetence is as bad as spite, in some cases. This is one of them. Why they gave us the crappy endings they did doesn't matter. They're still crappy endings regardless.

Probably should have sent normal cupcakes with the message in your post rather than cupcakes themed to mock the ending covered in messages of disappointment and backhanded humour. Just a thought. 

Oh look, Des is back to his normal ways.

Maybe you should go read the notes.

Jus a thought.

Please quit acting offended for Bioware. They weren't. They kept the notes. They treated the whole thing as funny. Get off your high horse and learn to take a joke. You'll live longer that way, seriously. Laughter makes you live longer, tis a proven fact.

I understand that it works for you.  I wouldn't want to deny that kind of ending to you.  But it doesn't work for me.  

The way they had all the characters act, all the things they wanted to do (Garrus seeing his family again, Tali getting a home, Samara returning to rebuild the monastery, Jacob starting a family [although I can understand if FemSheps who romanced him don't give a s*** about that], Ashley helping her sister get through her husband's death, James becoming an N7, and Shepard doing any number of things)...

And then you get no resolution?  No option to see how all these things pan out?  Why put these things there if they were never going to matter in the end?  

 

No no. Those plotlines should have been resolved. (Though how, since they are now separated from their families/homeplanets by decades due to the eradication of the ME relays, would be a problem.)

A bittersweet ending would be fine, is all I'm saying. I'd prefer a happy ending, (who wouldn't?), but if it was bittersweet I would still be able to play Mass Effect. Right now I tried to go back and pick up ME1 again with my Renegade Adept FemShep and I just... can't. There's no desire to play it or ME2 or ME3, and I highly doubt there ever will be again if the ending isn't fixed.

Like Gladiator. I wouldn't think kids would like that movie either.

It's still more than three endings.

Oh, I know that feeling well.  I get this unsettling feeling in my gut every time I think of starting from ME1.  It's a rather...unique feeling. 

And perhaps I've been meaning to say the ending I'd want is actually bittersweet instead of happy.  I mean, countless lives would still have been lost, including Thane, Legion and Mordin (for me).  There's no way any ending COULDN'T be bittersweet, really. 

I just want a small ray of hope for Shepard being back with his friends and LI.  That would actually be bittersweet, and not happy.

I don't get it. Since when did "constructive criticism" start being the same thing as "praise and appreciate"?

I'm donating my copy of me3 to a local shelter.

So Bioware screws with you and you respond by giving them some delicious cupcakes? I'm sure they ate the free food, loved it and thought, "Wow. They hate it and still give us free food."
