It feels like they spent all their money and time creating trailers for TV commercials, instead of making the game that they promised. They appear to be valuing sales over product quality.
Seriously, someone over there needs to fall on their sword (figuratively) for this one.

“… part of what you’re trying to do is save the universe so you can live in it. That’s part of the promise, I think, for any great IP. It has to be a world worth saving… I think Mass Effect has that quality to it. If you get rid of the Reapers and win that, wouldn’t it be amazing to just live on the Citadel or just take a ship to Omega? That makes sense.”
This is the exact OPPOSITE of what you can do in the game after the "ending". When I started ME-3, all I was thinking is "gonna kill these Reapers, then find Miranda on whatever clandestine home she has fashioned for herself and have the best Post-Save-the-Galaxy Sex ever". THAT was the plan. And that cannot happen with these endings!!

(emphasis mine)NEW GAME +
Handling replayability in the story-driven title is a challenge. The first Mass Effect made extensive use of new game+ features, allowing players to start new characters with significant bonuses. The second entry had a similar feature, but focused more on letting players continue doing missions as the same character. Where will Mass Effect 3 fall in this spectrum? "It's probably going to be a combination of both," says executive producer Casey Hudson. "We're going to have a version of the post-game state that you can go back to and finish more stuff, but then we'll have stuff you can loop back around and do in new game+. It's a hybrid of the two."

Isn't it obvious? This is why you find blueprints to a long-lost Reaper "off" button. Totally different!Omanisat wrote...

you think I'm joking tho. Like in my heart, I thought they were gonna write endings where Shepard would see his friends again, if I had a high enough EMS. My 2nd playthru, I went FULL meta, just scraping up war assets and galactic readiness. ::sigh:: It makes no sense, at all.
I felt empty when I finished the game the first time, like...."this just doesn't feel right"......

You can't, right? You're losing the ablity to can? Me too. Unable to can.
The sad thing is, I believe Casey Hudson wrote and recorded the ending all on his own and would only allow a handful of objections to the whole final mission structure. Like the random down time in the middle of the Earth mission? The random turret? That stupid video comm room where you speak to all your friends, which is also placed in such a way that you can miss it?
How could HE make those statements and be quoted nationally but then write the exact opposite of what he said he would do?
Well... you CAN go back and finish the final two missions again!! yay!!KingNewbs wrote...
I have the same issue. Found another tidbit and figured I'd share it...

So that's interesting.

I'd imagine people get very awkwardly quiet down at Bioware every time he enters a room now.

So HOW did they end up with the ending they finally got?
They knew what kind of finish was required, and how to get there...
No idea.
It's truly baffling.
