Raged? Nooooooope.

I'd be perfectly happy with that.

[viperabyss]

Disappointed a bit, but much better than being massively disappointed, then massively raged about it.

[Alent]

I'd have been thrilled with that ending. As it stands Shepard's death is already a completely meaningless deus ex machina.

[Topaz Bee]

I would love a happy ending, but I'd much rather had a well-written ending.

Both would have been great. Instead we got neither.

[Zoonz]

Having choice of happy or bittesweet or sad, would have made the series replayable, and yes working hard through all 3 games and DLC deserves and requires a happy choice, it just sucks as it is.

[DistantUtopia]

I wouldn't know because I can't judge my reaction on something that doesn't exist.

[Artking3]

I would have been perfectly fine with that. Totally predictable, undaring, unartistic, paint-by-the-numbers, and happy does not mean BAD. The ending could be all those things and still be GREAT.

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.

^That.  I was expecting the same. 

Having the ending vary from "Reapers Win (everyone dies)" to "Win & almost everyone lives" would spur more replay value and possible DLC out of me.   If decisions in ME1 and/or 2 really effected ME3 ending I would have replayed all three eventually.  

Having one ending in three colors doesn't tempt me to replay in fact I felt like  when I finished.  I missed the first few weeks of launch, for personal reasons, so I just finished last week and already knew there was anger over the ending.  I assumed it was because Shepard died (I avoided spoilers) with no chance of happy ending.   What we got really was worse than I ever imagined.

No. We spent three games talking, the talk and walking, the walk. It would have made sense of Shepard won like a boss. A few losses here and there sure... But an ME1 ending was something I was expecting

[Aramiss Ducati]

I would be happy, still don't see why they didn't take DA O approach and let you have everything from gut wrenching depressing to rainbows and sunshine happiness.

[CronoDragoon]

Was expecting the same as ME1 and Me2 and totally fine with it.

[The Almighty Ali]

Had it been one of the endings you could get, no.

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.

Nope, I would have been quite happy with that. 

[Jeremy Winston]

It would have been enough. Dyanu.

[Vigil_N7]

People would've have complained about wanting a more bitter sweet ending, but I doubt it would be quite as big of a reaction.

People love to complain, no matter how ME3 ended some people would still moan.

This!  Dying or living in my mind isn't the important thing...it just doesn't make sense as is!!  As I played through the game I became more and more convinced that Shepard was going to die at the end.  Period.  So, dying - not the issue.  At all. 

So, to answer your question, why would anyone rage at a "happy ending" - BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE EARNED.  A "cheap" happy ending that makes no sense based on the mythos of the ME universe and the parameters of Shepard's character is still a bad ending.

[sth88]

Assuming this hypothetical ending is written well? That it's coherent, fits with the themes prevelant in the series, and doesn't violate tons of previously established canon?

I would have been satisfied. Not blown away, but satisfied.

[AntonioA9011]

I would have liked it and then went on my merry way

[Dranks]

Actually I would have been fine with it. What I hate about the ending is that it gives us so little and expects us to build on that. The problem with what it gave us is that it's all a bunch of destruction, like the mass relays. Sure it could have been a different kind of explosion, but that needs to be IN GAME information. Our only source of knowledge of what happens when a mass relay blows up is Arrival and the Codex. Both say supernova so that's what we have to work with.

[Computron2000]

I would have given it a 9/10 with the comment of "Predictable ending but does not mar the entire series." and still recommend the entire series (possibly omitting ME1 depending on who i'm recommending it to)

Right now the game is 1/10 to me. Expecting it to be 2/10 or 3/10 after the clarification.

[Jealous Beauty]

Would you have told them to shut up and take your money when DLC was released?

Totally predictable, unartistic, undaring ending - YES PLEASE!!!

As long as it works with the rest of the story.

@Jealous Beauty: Yes, I would have bought all DLC they ever made. Happily, whatever it cost.

I am pretty sure I would still think that the combat and such on Earth was pretty lacking. Still would have liked a happy ending though.
