The elevator......now I know why I hate elevators so much in the ME universe...

[stevefox1200]

I honestly disliked the rap up with TIM but I didn't HATE it till I had to choose the ending and basically had to flip a coin because all the choices sounded horrible and I had no idea what any other really did

[StElmo]

When I found out I couldn't shoot space child. Actually, that gives me an idea for a thread.

[Eain]

"So what now?"

That was a pretty bad point for me. Least credible thing Shepard could possibly say. It's like Spacekid told him that the buttons of his pants had fallen off in drycleaning but that he still had a business meeting to go to.

After Harbinger's beam: where upon all established tones, thems, conventions and messages of the series drifted progressively away with nary a backward glance.

I started having major doubts when the citadel was suddenly orbiting earth, but could get over it...

Had a serious "WTF" moment when I saw space Casper showing up (had already been somewhat annoyed at the dream scenes, a random child when billions of people are dying is a statistic, not a soul crushing loss).

I was angry when I was presented with three choices that made little sense based on the previous themes of the games, as well as choices made so far, oh and there were three of them, that infamous "A,B,C ending" we supposedly weren't getting

I was furious when the credits rolled, and then Buzz Aldrin told me the galactic civilisationI'd been fighting for (this particular one, not just "biological life some time in the future") had essentially been reset, and people were bombed back to pre-spaceflight.

I was positively bloodraging when it ended with a commercial for DLC.

Oh... I ddn't like the ending all that much

started going downhill right after they moved the citadel at that point I went "What? they can do that and to earth of all places?"

then came the COMPLETE letdown of the final missions OH SO BORING shootouts (was expecting badass missions for the final ones).

Then they kept going downhill, I actually hated the idea of TIM shooting himself if paragon/renegade enough hell they used that already on Sarin, then came glowinthedark child need I go on...........

I was annoyed that i couldn't make shepard say "i've just alligned the Geth and the Quarians, and hooked up an AI with a Human" and at first i liked the ending, but then i got on to the internet and discovered the plotholes.

[Alamar2078]

The process started when Shep "woke up" after the near miss by Harbinger's beam weapon. I hate the visuals, the feeling of powerlessness, etc. I generally find things like that in games a cheap gimmick so people can shoehorn in whatever illogical ending they want.

[By taking away powers, abilities, weapons, armor, etc. with no player control]

[tomcplotts]

specific point for me, like a lot of others, was the space 'vator.
but I didn't like much of the game beginning from the end of thessia--a mission which was a blast to play until deus ex cartoon network ninja and his +5000 cutscene armor showed up. I'm still mad about that...
Goes downhill from there. TIM's ship is a lame rip from LOTSB and lazy as crap, and the retake earth mission started really weell--I loved the migrating geese reapers and their honking part--and also went downhill after you crossed into "exposition zone" for 2 hours just trying to get the damn thing back underway.

I wish I could just end this game with the genphage conclusion. that would have been perfect. and then it could have been ME3 Part2 due in summer (when they were ready).

[BadlyBrowned]

The moment Star Brat showed up. Didn't even have to say anything, from that moment I knew things had gone terirbly terribly wrong.

intitailly i thought it was weird when harbinger blasted me up into the citadel somehow with his laser....

...but the out of body WTF expreience was when i started to talk to starchild.

thats the specific point i felt like i wasnt playing a mass effect game anymore.

[profis]

When Shepard got to the Citadel.

[Hogge87]

I don't know.
I kinda went with the flow throughout the whole Star Child scene. When Joker flew through the relay, I was "Eh... what? Seriously?".
When the ending was over, I was like "That's it?".
A few minutes later I realised that I didn't like anything from when I landed in London and onwards.

[TheCrazyHobo]

For me, it started when the Citadel magically appeared at Earth. What made it worse was that nobody really cared about that fact.....

True enough

[TheGameFan]

When I played through a second time and got the same ending (different color) and nothing else was changed.

After the first time, I thought maybe there was a way to avoid casper the reaper ghost or keep the relays from blowing up. So I played through the last 10 minutes again and did things completly different, but noticed the only difference was the blue explosions. I thought maybe I missed something so I came here and read through a few posts to find out that was it. That's when it really hit me.

...So my question to you guys is, at what point did you start to, or just flat out, not like the ending?

When I first saw the ending, I didn't know what to feel.  I mean, I destroyed the Reapers...it was my plan all along.  I was ok with Shepard dying.  StarChild already came completely out of left field for me.  Then when the ME relays exploded and Normandy crashed, I was thinking..."So now no one can space travel anymore?" which was only cemented by the Stargazer scene.  Then I wondered maybe they still could, though I don't know how since they use Element Zero and EEZO is so rare...

AND THEN Shepard still being alive still (I got the best possible ending for Destroy) came COMPLETELY out of left field too since Starchild (who I figured was a big liar but prepared myself for the worst) said that Shepard was part synthetic and that all synthetics would be destroyed.  So then on top of the Normandy questions, I had question about WTF happened to Shepard after he woke up or started breathing again?

Though the moment I can absolutely say that my disappointment and confusion turned into more disappointment with a HUGE helping of frustration was when my unanswered questions list became more than ten questions.

For the sake of my sanity, I have decided it's better not to think about the ending in extreme detail anymore because it's exhausting.  It makes me not want to replay the game at all.  I'm already fighting to go through with my Renegade and I just can't do it.

[Meltemph]

It started at the Cerberus base, where I started to get a bit annoyed with the writing and it culminated when they used the green goober child.

[Thornne]

I realized I did not like the ending literally when it ended. Despite increasing amounts of confusion, apprehension, and misgivings, I kept giving Bioware the benefit of the doubt while the game was still going.

"Ok this is confusing, bordering on non-sensical. But this is Bioware, and the rest of the game was fine. I am sure they'll make this make sense here in a moment..." I thought. Credits roll. Buy more DLC dialog. "WTF? That's it? A giant middle finger of an ending?"

[Liraelx]

Normandy crash did it for me. So much wtf surrounding that scene.

[TheyCallMeMellowYellow]

My first playthrough. I was genuinely intrigued. When the Citadel appeared over Earth, I thought "Okay, the Reapers are sufficiently advanced, it's logical to assume that they either moved it of their own accord, or the Citadel has some form of mass effect propulsion."

Harbinger showed up. I fully expected to find a Cain lying on the ground and blast a giant hole in him. Didn't happen. I felt that there was kind of a let down. Harbinger was built up and built up in ME2 to be a frighteningly efficient enemy with a personal fixation on Shepard. To give him, which in my opinion is frankly a cameo, is disappointing, but forgiveable (since I preferred Sovereign as a villian.)

Onboard the Citadel, I took one look at the Catalyst room and thought "Oh boy, there's gonna be some kind of Reaper intelligence, like the first Reaper coming to stop me" only to find the Starchild. I did find that interesting. It's logical to assume a human would be comfortable with the form of another human as opposed to what Sovereign told us; "You cannot even grasp the nature of our existence"

The endings in of themselves were very interesting. Destroying the Reapers meant destroying the geth too. A very difficult decision since you spend a large chunk of the game trying to stop them, and the quarians from tearing each other new ones. You win, but at a cost. Genocide of an entire race, and by extension the quarians suffer without the geth to assist them. Controlling the Reapers was not my favorite, despite a neccessary sacrifice of Shepard, when he survives in the Destroy ending, despite the Starchild's insistance they he likely couldn't survive without his synthetic parts.

Synthisis seemed the most lacking for me. Sure it's the pinnacle of evolution for everything, but... You don't SEE it. You don't get to see this new DNA meshing with organic and synthetic life. All in all, I liked the Destroy ending, I felt indifferent towards the Control ending, and I disliked the Synthesis ending. I didn't hate the endings, but I'm certain that the Extended Cut will clarify things for me, such as why the Normandy was fleeing Earth, or why the Catalyst chose to represent itself as a child from Shepard's memories.

[Grimwick]

The elevator was weird but I went with it. It was when the starbrat's logic made absolutely no sense to me and I realised that there were only 3 endings...
3 endings for a series where you make literally hundreds yeah that sucks. Also you DIE in all of them, so I hated that too.

[Bizantura]

I tought the ending was brilliant in coaxing you between 3 options all bad. I started emptying clip after clip into the fuhrer brat and nothing happened. It then hit me oh no............

[Wrathra]

when the citadel was moved. It just went downhill from there, even though the goodbyes with your squad were nicely done.
