I don't really care about having a "you lose" outcome. IMO, you lose any time Shepard dies.

I would have been fine with it if it felt Earned.

Bioware made mention in pre-launch marketing that it was possible to LOSE, and the Reapers complete the cycle. What many expected was a range of possibe outcomes from losing and dying, to winning and dying, to winning and living, with variations in between of what happens to Earth and everyone else.

^^ This.

All I needed to say, bar for this:

Broken promises is really why we're raging. If there had been a happy end, or a semi-happy end then I'd have been fine AS LONG AS 1) it felt real and earned (as said above by Menalaos) and 2) kept to the story and the promises given.

No 'A, B, C' ending... certainly not! (sarcasm)
No 'same ending for all'... certainly not! (More sarcasm - functionally identical even if theamatically different)
Variety of endings, including a chance to see the Reapers win and complete the cycle... BOY did I love that one... oh, wait....

[alterIncogn1T0]

No, I wouldn't be nerd raging about a mediocre happy ending. A happy ending where the Reapers are defeated, the Relays stay intact, and Shepard flies off into the sunset would not have decimated the trilogy as the current one has.

Seriously, for a company that totes about your ability to have choice, it baffles me why they didn't include a lame happy ending among the myriad of 16 identical WTF endings. I mean that would be one more choice you could have in the game, right?

Oh, sorry, stupid me. "ARTISTIC INTEGRITY".

[DJBare]

Before seeing the ending I would not have accepted a sugar sweet ending, after seeing the current ending, I'll take sugar sweet thanks.

[Reorte]

Whilst no real damage to anything or anyone would've been a bit on the cheap and cheesy side it would be infinitely better than what we got.

Like many others I was expected a bit of happiness for Shepard, LI, and crew if you'd worked hard enough to get it. If that's a "totally predictable, unartistic, paint-by-the-numbers happy ending" then the presumably the following is true:

Unpredictable == I honestly thought no-ne was that stupid
Artistic == ugly (obviously wrong, most good art moves me postively)
Not painting by the numbers == random 2 -year-old painting effort

I would have smiled...first out of satisfaction seeing the Reapers burn for all the atrocities they had committed over billions of years, then out of relief that Shepard had not been forced into martyrdom as so many seemed to have taken for granted for reasons I cannot understand´...

Then I would have smiled out of pure joy to see my Femshep being together again with her Kaidan, having this incredible grin on her face (look at the scene from ME1 at the end whe nshe comes out of the rubble...so much win, that grin!)

Next I would have smiled out of content, watching the cutscenes that showed us how all my choices over the course of the game had impacted the galaxy and races...Tali and the Geth on Rannoch, Eve and Wrex, Liara on thessia, and humanity rebuilding and getting along as best as they can...

And finally, a smile of simple happiness when I completly redo the entire series from the start once more...

No, no nerd rage for me, I'm all for happy endings (in fact, I don't even need other options, though they would have been preferable). And no, I am not ashamed of this! No, never! All rainbows, unicorns and candy unite! I give damn for heroic sacrifices and bleak endings, no sir, keep that stuff away from me!

[Occulo]

I would've said "booooo" because it's only one ending.

Let's say the crucible let loose a kill signal that powered off the reapers.  The galaxy is saved and Shepard gets to live happily ever after with his or her LI (until ME3: Awakening DLC is released).

Would you have raged?

I want Bioware to see your replies.

EDIT: Absence of plotholes is a given in this scenario.  Continue.

If it was one of the PROMISED 16 completely different endings that was determined by our previous game choices, then no I wouldn't have raged at all.

I should've added that I want a big party at the end - simply because we've seen Shepard, Tali, and Ashley drunk and now it's everyone else's turn (except for Grunt, he's under age). And I don't mean getting drunk on some dodgy fermented heaven-knows-what that Joker's been distilling on some random planet either.

[Coachdongwiffle]

OH i would of. I would of been just as angry.. I don't care about the ending being sad or bittersweet. All I wanted was multiple endings that were effected by my choices. If I built up a ****ty army I should of got destroyed by the Reapers and flat out lost. If my army was awesome I should of lived on Rannoch with Tali...actually I should of had the choice to just run away with Joker and let the Reapers Reap

[Jealous Beauty]

I wouldn't mind seeing a happy ending in which Shepard is given the same choice that he got at the end of ME1, except this time he's the one being offered the job as the new human councilor on the citadel.

[darkstarxt]

I wouldn't have raged if the ending was just pure happieness (in fact I would have been satisfied) because there were already several emotional setbacks throughout the campaign, like mordins death etc. So I personally had very much depression summed up at the point the ending started.. And then.. U know what was then

not as badly, but yes.  alot of my rage this time was WHO was giving us the choices, a genocidal mass murderer, and we have to agree?  what the ?

Cookie cutter happy ending >? That would have sucked as well.  The ability to earn a happy ending? Yea that I would have wanted, the Crucible revealing some flaw in the reapers, or weakening them, so it was a more even fight, and the victory fleet stood a chance ..that would have ruled, the war assests mattering the combined fleets of a galactic allaince of unprescendeted size fighting to save their lives, homes and species...that's a great ending to a great series, even having the final seen being a grey haired admiral shephard at the final victort parade after a war lasting decades...and that as the best ending, any less and the war takes longer, or is lost.

[Paravan85]

I would have actually been pretty happy. When I was playing I was hoping for a option of a "happily ever after" option for my Shepard, even if its totally predictable. Especially if you could be with your LI, as I romanced Miranda and actually wanted to see her for more than 5 minutes lol

[DeadpoolBub]

This is what I wanted, with some variations based on you choices throughout the series.

For instance, if you were a complete dick throughout the series. Illsuive Man shoots you in the back with his final breath.

But, there's still hope that we can get a happy ending, if the Indoctrination Theory is true.

[jeff359]

Its not that the it wasn't happy or that most everyone died, its that it didn't fit with the series or make sense. It was impressive that in such a short time it was able to undo so much. If the ghost of chuck norris was the cataylst and didn't open plot holes it would have been better.

Aaaand in response to what I said before, I found this in the "FOR THE LITTLE BLUE CHILDREN"-thread.

I wanted to see any of the Me2 characters for more then five minutes.  If the sidelining of an inter acts worth of character in what was supposed to be the final act of a three act story in not proof that the game was rushed I don't know what is.

[sp0ck 06]

Thank god there wasnt some disney ending. I'd rather have a gut wrenching ending that made me enraged and bewildered than some typical video game ending. I know I'm in the minority here, but this was a memorable ending that left its mark, and I enjoyed every soul crushing second of it.

I wouldn't have raged.  I might have been slightly depressed by its 'totally predictable, undaring, unartistic, paint-by-the-numbers' nature though.  If there's no twists I didn't see coming, then I might as well have just saved myself some money and daydreamed my own space adventure instead.

[Darth Spike]

I would have liked an ending like that. It wouldn't have been too original but almost nothing is anymore. It's surprizingly hard to be original in todays age. An ending can only be done so man ways and so many times. A sappy happy ending is nothing new, but neither is the crappy ending they did.

BW just put money on the wrong type of ending. All any of us are asking is that it changes.

[kalasaurus]

If this predictable happy ending provided actual closure to the story and wasn't so frustratingly vague, then I honestly wouldn't have raged. I'd still understand why people would be bothered by lack of different outcomes, though.

I would take it, i would still be playing ME and not sighing everytime I walk past the shelf where they sit everytime I walk by. I can't even play one or 2 becasue it seems pointless to me--I know some love the games over all---but I can't do it. Why bother to save or kill anyone since it is all pointles.

And I would no longer feel like this

[Peranor]

Considering that grimdark, depression and general weirdness is so hip and cool these days i'd say that a conclusive and happy ending would have been more unexpected. And dare I say a more bold move from BioWare's side.
