There would be complaints, but nowhere near on the level we're looking at now, and certainly not from me.

I would have raged hardcore.

Honestly, I would feel the same about a happy ending if it was presented as poorly as what we got.  If we had three equally happy copy paste cutscenes, It would still feel lazy.  I don't think the real issue (for me at least) is happy ending vs grimdark ending, its more of a matter of presentation.  I'm ok with the endings, but they are presented poorly and lack closure.  Hopefully the extended cut will fix this.

I like happy endings. Got a problem with that?

[Jealous Beauty]

If we're gonna be stuck with three variations of one ending, why not let it be a happy one? Or, at least, one that doesn't burn down the franchise and salt the earth behind it.

[MelancholyV]

As long as it made sense in the scheme of things.

Honestly, I'd have been pleasantly surprised. It seems that every game, story, movie, etc. these days has to have "The TWIST". It's gotten to the point that not having one is one if that makes sense.

Since I now spend my gaming time expecting "The TWIST", not getting one and actually getting a "paint-by-numbers, predictable" happy ending would have been unexpected and satisfying.

No one would have raged, at least not on this level.

Someone had to put effort to making the ending as bad as it is now.

I am still in AWE over it.

[Dawson14]

All ask is that the ending reflects my choices and efforts in the game which means there are possibilities of a happy ending. I don't think that is too much to ask.

I pretty much thought that's what was going to happen. I was prepared to proclaim it the best ending to the best series of games I'd ever played.

Yeah, pretty much this.

[LegendaryBlade]

Probably the same way I would react to a undaring, unartistic grimdark ending. Like the one in that Mass Effect 3 game

[Deemz]

Just change the star child up a little bit. Have him inform Shepard that the Catalyst is actually Shepard's manhood. Then have the VI point to a very disturbing looking machine. Shepard is left scratching his head. Am I being indoctrinated? Is this VI messing with me? Oh real funny Garrus!

There you go. Non-traditional ending. Thought provoking. And if you don't like that, at least you got a laugh.

I would've threw more money at Bioware.

I like what you said. I don't understand how having the hero sacrificing himself / herself is any more artistic or less cliched than having a happy ending. Why couldn't we have both?

[EnvyTB075]

ITT: Implying that an ending where Shepard lives, that is earned not given, is unartistic because its not depressing.

Pull the other one, this should have been out of a range of endings.

[Jassu1979]

Are there still people who fall for the misconception that "dark and depressing" is the same as "artistic and daring"?

A "dark" ending can be just as badly written, hackneyed and superficial as a considerably more upbeat one. Case in point: Mass Effect 3.

[ChildOfEden]

Well, not with depression....

[Kyazain]

I was expecting that kind of ending--at least when you did well enough.

I probably would have thought, "Oh, that was a little cliche, ha ha." But it wouldn't have bothered me, and in fact I would have been completely happy and satisfied.

[nightcobra]

happy if it was one of the possible endings, unhappy if it was the only ending.

[StElmo]

I would have been a little dissapointed if the ending was cliche, but I wouldn't have been upset like I am now.

Why? Because a cliche ending probably would have made a lot of sense narratively speaking - logic is he big problem here.

Ouch.

I can't disagree though.

[thesnake777]

If it was only one of the outcomes? I would have walked away happy know Jack and Shep were together.
If it was the only ending? Yea not cool.

[FlamingBoy]

people would have been annoyed by the simplicity of it all, the whole crucible plot line was kind of weird (i really wanted to say its actually a stupid plot line), but people would not have been angry to this level

but at least you would have (hopefully) seen some decisions play out, and we would not get this unbelievable feeling of failure thoughout 3 games

[Lethys1]

 Bad ending due to overly positive nature leads me to never buying ME again or any BioWare product.....but I wouldn't be so angry about it.
