I have had endings that I didn't like before but nothing that has made me want to go on to a forum and discuss it. I think it is due to a lack of closure at the end of the game. As the only other time I have felt this way was when I didn't get closure for something that happened to me in real life. This is why I hope Bioware can bring some closure to the ending and I can feel a little be better. But for right now, if I want closure I have to do it myself by writing an ending that suits me.

When farscape got canceled on a cliffhanger ending. I was pissed! At least fans of that got a conclusion through a movie that tied series up. Took a petition though.

Not what I can recall which is kinda sad because... there should be better things to be worried about.

But no other ending has ever ruined the whole series for me, be it books, movies or games. No ending has made me feel so betrayed or angry.

No ending has made me 100% serious of not buying the company's products ever again.

Even the Half life games' endings havn't made me this annoyed! xD

Same here. I never thought I'd care enough about a game to even post on the forum and this comes from an obsessive player of Dragon Age and Assassin's Creed. But Mass Effect is on a whole nother level. I love this game so much and I want it to end properly so that I can bear saying goodbye.

Just curious.

I have seen my fair share of bad endings over the years, but I have never been this upset to where I actually want them to change the endings. I'm thinking the majority of you don't typically get this upset over bad endings and like myself this is probably the first time you wanted to see something changed. 

I also would like to think that if everyone knew that this is probably the only thing we have ever got worked up about, it would shed that entitled label as well. 

If you have felt the sameway about something else and wanted something changed, be open about it.


This is exactly how I feel. Honestly it felt like I was watching an M. Night Shamanalon movie or something, not that I like his movies but only he has such awful - out of no where endings like this.

This is a non issue compared to what's happened to the Star Wars series.

Looking at this from the new Star Wars kinect thing, its hard to argue with that.

(If you are too lazy to click, it's Han Solo dancing to "I'm Han Solo" a reworking of the Jason Derulo "classic" Ridin Solo, its an actual thing from the game, not a made up fan video or something")

The best thing about it is the top youtube comment "This is now cannon". +15 internets to that guy.

So until the next DLC is confirmed as a kinnect mini game, in which the player has to copy the "Shephard Shuffle" in time with a number of pop classics like Wycliff Jean's "Paragon till November" or Elton Johns "assari is the hardest word to say", its fair to say that it could be a lot worse.

Nah. Usually if something is really bad I will get over it in a few days. its been 3 weeks since I beat ME3 and I still am upset about it and don't see that changing anytime soon.

When I was a kid, I thought one the toys in my Froot Loops box would be amazing, but it ended up being a piece of crap. That's about the only thing that comes to mind.

Only one thing, but to a MUCH smaller and lesser degree: the animation of the Pain Invasion arc of Naruto (anime). Before you write that off as stupid anime, at least understand the concept:

Most anime features simplistic and obviously-cheap animation, except for episodes that warrant better animation (like epic fight scenes, major plot-focused episodes, etc). The Pain Arc--which featured (by far) the most epic fight to date, was almost the quintessential fight of the series (and a MAJOR characterization event for the main character, as well as the plot itself)...and the entire thing was actually animated much WORSE than average, save for one episode, which was well-animated...if you wanted to watch Looney Toons with laser beams. It was really funny, but everything was completely out of character, canon and lore (as well as internal consistency) were thrown completely out the window, and filler galore...

I just couldn't comprehend it; I didn't understand how they could mess up so badly in such a clear, premeditated way, when they'd already done the same kind of thing correctly many times before.

because most of the writing in this game is great... but then the quality of writing took a nose dive in the last 5 minutes of the game.

thanks Hudson/Walters for ruining ME3...

I can remember only a single occasion were I was as upset about an entertainment product as I was with the ending of ME3: Ultraviolet.
And it even was for the same reason: It had the chance to be something all around awesome but ultimately failed to deliver.
In case of Ultraviolet it had Milla Jovovich in it, some pretty damn awesome fighting scenes, nice scenery, even a decent story and Milla Jovovich.
It was a great movie. Until Screen Gems decided to re-cut it after some test screenings, removed pretty much all the story, removed vital sound effects from the fighting...essentially drained the life out of it and just left a husk.
Still had these awesome scenes(and Milla Jovovich), no doubt, but ultimately it was just a pile of wasted potential.
The only reason I still watch it is because I love to see Milla Jovovich fight and some of the settings are really great. And every time I want to punch Screen Gems in the face afterwards for messing it up so badly.

edit: Oh and let's not forget the horrible blur. Why in f*cks name would you do that to a movie??

If what we have been hearing about EA saying there WONT be any changes to ME3's ending then I reckon that ME3 will be my last Bioware purchase.

I know a lot of people say things like that out of a sense of melodrama but I do not.

With DA2 I said that given the state it was released in I wouldn't buy any DLC until the Exalted March expansion (or the toolset) came out. I have not bought any.
And recently Exalted March was cancelled.

No expansion. No toolset. No DLC purchases from me.

And DA2 actually had an ending that made sense even if it totally sucked.

As it stands without the ending of ME3 being sorted (paid or not I dont care as long as its fixed, "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!") then I won't be getting ME3 DLC either.

I wont be preordering future BW titles as is either. And if all this negativity and whatnot continues I dont see myself buying future BW titles at all as it is.
That might change of course, but it isn't looking likely that it will.

I am most disenheartened.

I've never reacted to a game ending as I did to this. Just something about it felt so personal.

Never cared this much before.

Also didn't think they ending to the ME trilogy would end so badly. The quality of everything leading up to the ending just makes it that much worse.

While not upset about the endings, I can name 2 movies that pissed me off like how the hold the line crowd is.

The last airbender, made me never pay money to see a shyamalan film ever again, but I should have know better, especially with the happening, but I forgot about that movie until I found my inner red lantern hate for how shyamalan handled this adaptation.

And the percy jackson film...I have no words...none at all for how mad this made me. The closest I can probably sum up is if harry potter and the sorcerers stone was handled like this move, than there would be no harry potter movies. Percy jackson is a great series, I loved it, I still love it and it's sequel and all of rick riordan's books relating to this universe, it just clicks so well to me. So when I heard that christopher columbus was producing it, I was like, abso-freaking-lutly I'm seeing this film.

And than I saw percy jackson's actor, and I figured out pretty qucik that this was all just disney's attempt to win over tweens. I have never come to the point of rage quite like that day, I spent so much time ****ing about that movie that my brother finally told me to shut the **** up and move on, I never quite did though. I can watch it now and disconnect my rage from what I'm watching, I view it more as a cheap italian sploitation ripoff of percy jackson meant to target tweens and can laugh at the retardedness of the film, but I still feel twinges of pain whenever I laugh, like a phantom pain after you sprain you leg on a particular street and get a small ache whenever you see that street again, your over it, but your also not.

And no that I just found out that christopher's doing the second book, following the current movies cannon that he butchered from the books version. hhhaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeee.

And that's pretty much it.

Well I gotta say this is the first time that i wanted an ending to change this much. I was ok with bad endings generally but after investing this much into Mass Effect I want a proper goodbye to Shepard.

Well, let's see here.

When Mike Portnoy left dream theater, yep.

The ending to Halo 3.

Sort of like the ending to Resistance 3.

I can't think of anything else.

I had a similar but much muted reaction to the ending of the final book of the Hunger Games Trilogy, Mockingjay.

For much the same reason, the entire trilogy had been fantastically well-written and enjoyable, and the final book continued this equally, but the end tried to hard to force a resolution and tie up ends.The conclusions were unsatisfied and left too many questions.

That said, I was willing to overlook it because:
A) I wasn't promised anything.
B) I had no control over any of the story.
C) There was an epilogue.
D) Even though I had questions I equivocally knew what had happened.
E) There was a happy ending. Bittersweet though it may have been.

I find a lot of parallels between my reaction between both trilogies, but I left the Hunger Games satisfied, I received what I was promised. This is not the case with Mass Effect 3.

I was kind off dissapionted by the endings seeing they were all basicly the same with small edits to them. the thing that got me was that all the endings were the same even if you didn't play the other 2 games. What the hell were they thinking they could have rewarded the loyal plays who played the other 2 games. but i am hoping they were faux endings going on what was in the true ending were you shep breath .
