Without IT glasses on the ending is still intolerable.

[zarnk567]

Nope.... still hate it, bad writing is bad writing.

[RvB SPARTAN038]

The first three days I was full of rage. The friends I played with can confirm this. I was so angry and could not stop thinking about it. As time moved on, I hated it less. I still don't like it, but at this point in time, I just have to accept it. I still dislike the ending but I am less angry about it now than I was back then.

I have just replayed ME 1 & 2 and have altered my view some. I have noticed in all the interactions with the Geth they are EXTREMELY similar to the Reapers. They refer to themselves as Legion, Sovereign also considers the Reaper fleet "Legion" when you talk to him on Virmire. Also the Geth had no issue rewriting/brainwashing/"INDOCTRINATING" the heretics who believed in a difference of opinion. Although we establish a peace in the 3rd game, if the Geth live for thousands of years and oversee significant conflict between Organic and Synthetic who is to say they won't reach a "Consensus" resulting in the same logic as StarChild?

I hated it, initially, and still hate it now. I never would've believed it could be so bad.

[Mesmurae]

I would rather watch 'The Room' again that accept the ending of Mass Effect 3.

[Ingvarr Stormbird]

First I was a bit confused and sad.
Then I've tried to think about it...
Well, now I am pretty much like everyone else.

[soulprovider]

 I can't like an ending like that it makes me feel dirty inside, just to vague, and the implications of what shepard has done would put the devil to shame.

[Deemz]

I guess so. Meaning I don't hate it as much.

[hoodaticus]

Yes, I have changed my mind about the ending. That's because it gets worse the more you think about it. It's actually false on its own terms:

In ME1, Sovereign was racing to the Citadel to activate it to bring in the Reaper legion. This was necessary because the keepers stopped responding to Reaper control and now only obeyed the Citadel.

In ME3, the Citadel IS the Reapers. This means that ME1 did not happen, because the Citadel self-activated and brought in the Reapers on schedule, long before the events of ME1.

Since ME1 did not happen, neither did ME2 or ME3. The Reapers had already invaded.

Ergo, if the ending is true, then the ending must be false. This is impossible.

Dream, hallucination, and indoctrination are the only answers. This leaves us with the question of which part of the series was illusion. The two choices are: the entire series, or only part. The part that creates the impossible paradox is the ending. Therefore, either everything before the Justin Beiber scene - in the entire series - never happened, or the ending never happened, or none of it ever happened.

Those are the only logical choices. The ending is only brilliant art if Indoctrination Theory is true.

I'm starting to accept it again. Funny, I'm actually liking the Catalyst also..maybe I need to re-watch the ending again.

I wouldn't be that upset with the Catalyst if it turned out to be Harbinger the whole time so then I'd know it was lying and I could defeat it once and for all.

Thats more of the B movie effect than anything else.   You also need to be really drunk and with friends mocking the entire exchange.  If you have two robots and a movie theatre please proceed to video tape said exchange.

I miss that show it sucked that it went off the air and it also sucks that the box sets are 60 bucks a peice

[GarrettTheHung]

I was originally confused, then I moved to not liking it. I've since gained an appreciation for it - it is beautiful when you exclude all the horrendous plot holes. The music for one thing is absolutely grand.

But overall? No. I still don't like it. It isn't what Mass Effect needed.

[Seryl]

I thought it was bad when I first saw it. I think it's broken and terrible now.

I understand what they were trying to do. But they did it in the laziest way possible.

Some thoughts:
1. If they HAD to have StarChild, he should have been a VI not some glowy hallucinogenic trip. Personally, I'd like to see him be changed into a corrupted Avina (bonus points if they can get some good dialogue for it voiced by the person that did SHODAN).
2. Take some advice from Deus Ex (the very first one with JC Denton). If I have only three choices, give me some objectives to complete to decide which choice I get; not a variation on "Pick a button".
3. The choices have to make sense in context of the universe.
4. Provide closure. If the reapers are destroyed, show my team triumphant. Show me the results of assembling the biggest fighting force in the history of the galaxy and show them kicking a**. If I don't have the EMS, show my forces being slaughtered. MAKE MY CHOICES MATTER!
5. Show what happened to my team. Even if it's just slides, I want to know if Tali built her home. I want to know if Ash and Shepard retired together. Did Sha'ira continue "consorting"? Did buddy on the Citadel ever get his refund? What about Blasto? Fish in the lake on the Presidium? Will Major Kirrahe ever deliver another "HOLD THE LINE" speech? Will Liara ever "Embrace Eternity" again?
6. Leave the Mass Relays alone. Or, if they have to be depowered, provide a DLC pack that entails Shepard finding some kind of lost knowledge on how to reignite them. Take me back to Thessia for it. I don't care what kind of trickery and hand waving is pulled, but don't leave the relays dead. It fundamentally changes the Mass Effect universe. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd like at least the hope that we'll get another game set in it, in the same time frame.

I'm holding out hope that the Extended Cut does this. Clarifying the ending isn't an issue to me because I don't care about the actual ending choices. I care about the legendary stupidity used to present those choices and the laziness showed in the cut scenes. The idea wasn't great, but it was serviceable. The execution sucked badly.

Off Topic Aside: The "Push your own Button" options at the end of DX:HR weren't great, but at least they fit into the game. I'd have preferred a "Dialogue Boss Battle" with Eliza to decide which ending I got though.

[Adam2190]

No, my reasons for hating it aren't going anywhere.

[Cordoroy17]

was disappointed when first experiencing it, after reading the analysis and discovering more plotholes... I loathe it

[k-mysta]

Never! Haha. Seriously though, nope. Poor but not enough for me to hate it. Theres enough hate in the world without me raging over a silly game. In isolation though, I was very disappointed and will be unless they surprise us

This question is addressed to pro-enders and anti-enders alike. Has your opinion of the ending changed significantly since your initial playthrough? Did you hate it at first, but grew to like it? Or did you enjoy it at first, but realized later something was off? If so, what made you change your mind?

My initial thoughts on the ending were something like this:

"Huh...that was...huh. I guess that was pretty good." I really WANTED to like it, because it's Mass Effect after all, and it was the end of the trilogy.

I chose Synthesis first. My brother said, "That ending sucked. I don't even know anything about Mass Effect and it still sucked." He then watched the other two endings on YouTube and reported that Destroy was the only worthwhile one. At that point, the stupor of having completed the game was lifting, and I became gradually aware that I had been duped. I woke up the next morning and realized what a complete and utter turd it was, and found out I was not alone (an understatement, I know).

[Sleepytime]

At first it was confusing and nonsensical, since I had not had the time to consider it fully, and thus I did not like it.

But having had the time to look into it more fully, its a true disaster. Even basic analysis tears the ending to shreds, and the deeper you go, the more irreconcilable the details become.

Still want to be won over again .

[Unlimited69x]

I will tell my children and their grandchildren about the awfulness of ME3's ending.

[Ender99]

Nope. Wait....yes.

My opinion went from "dislike" to full on hate with Bioware's PR moves.

[clipped_wolf]

Yes. My opinion got worse with EA/Bioware's PR management.
Edit: I think the free ending DLCs are a good start.

Let me check...

Building a consensus...

Consensus achieved.

All units in this platform agree, the ending was awful.

[UrgentArchengel]

Partially. Still dislike it regardless though.

Nope I still hate it, however I am VERY bord with fighting Bioware. I can't wait to the extended cut DLC comes out though, I may even learn to love the endings once the DLC comes out.

I agree. Being openminded about what they're planning seems to be the best move now... I'm so tired of being angry and disappointed.

Somebody sprinkle some happy fairy magic space dust on me or something. STAT!
