Do you consider the ME3 ending "bittersweet" or massive failure?.

I know there's already been much said about how bad the endings were but the powers that be evidently consider it a "bittersweet" ending. I get sick of them saying that. It's not bittersweet to the player. The ending, as it is, if left to stand, is a massive failure. Not bittersweet. There's nothing bittersweet about it. We're left with massive destruction on a galaxy wide scale. Millions upon millions of lives were taken, and millions more lives were disrupted or destroyed. Millions were left homeless. We lost several beloved crew members along the way. Thousands of species are left stranded on Earth, and the rest of the crew is stranded on some far away planet.

Yes the reapers were supposedly destroyed, (if you chose the red option), but so were you, and the Geth, who you just got through liberating, and Edi, all so they could be killed in the end. The other 2 options, the reapers and Geth get to live, (The reapers get to live? Are you kidding me?), and the rest is just as bad, and you still die,

Sorry, I don't call that bitter sweet. I call that, I don't like it but I'll take it if that's the only choices I get. Sorry to keep going on about the endings but I believe we need to. We, the players were left with nothing. The reapers simply came in and wiped everything out except those that were left grieving and broken hearted to clean up the mess with little, or no, resources. Story over. Bitter sweet? Not to me.

Massive Failure. They got the bitter right, but instead of adding sweet the piled even more bitter on top.

Of course it's a failure, there have been articles, videos, analysis everywhere on the internet talking about how it isn't a good narrative tool, how it doesn't fit with mass effect, how it isn't even artistic (even when Bioware tries to defend it as such), it fails at literally everything, the only thing it does well is have colorful visuals, but that's it.

The hero ending of inFAMOUS 2 was bittersweet done right. This just left me feeling empty inside.

I consider it bitter only, no sweetness whatsoever. Combine that with no closure and massive plot holes and I got to go with appalling failure.

Massive failure. Works like LOTR got it right when it comes to bittersweet endings, not ME3

Massive Failure,

The disconnect between the ending and the rest of the entire series was so damn ham-handed that it severed my immersion with the series so uprutly that I felt nausea for the next 20 minutes. and before you think of it, NO, just because you GOT a reaction Bioware, doesn't make it a GOOD one.

Massive failure. I felt predominately disappointed and upset when I didn't feel empty over the ending. I felt nothing bitterweet.

Not a joke. Just hope they get it. It's NOT bitter sweet.

Failure. There are too many plot holes, too many characters acting out-of-character. Not to mention for something to be bittersweet, it needs the sweet part too. There is no drop of honey to make it easier to deal with the bitter taste.

Speculation for everyone!

I sure hope that's a rhetorical question.

It's a failure on every level, be it logical, emotional, or in basic storytelling. IT SUCKS!

I completely agree with this. Both endings were very bittersweet, but were well done.

It's a failure. The sad thing is, even if they release a new ending DLC,
so much of the magic, the excitement for Mass Effect will be forever
gone.

It is not a massive failure.

It is a (massive failure)^(massive failure). Yes, it can only be explained with exponents.
