An airplane is only 50,000 feet in the air. How high is space orbit? ._.

Saying that it is ONLY... whoa.

And Citadel didn't drop trough athmosphere btw. It stayed in orbit.

Only when you compare it to space orbit.

So Shepard passed out in rubble in the citadel then? Which stayed in orbit? Makes sense.

I watched the refusal ending. I actually really liked it. THAT'S what I was expecting originally.

Haha, well you can liveout your fantasies now!

A reunion with the LI is all I wanted even if it was just a slide showing shep and LI standing together or something but it look like we don't get that so I ask you is there any point in downloading it?

It is possible, but not shown. You still get the Shep!Breathe video at the end if you destroy the reapers, and Liara seems to hesitate a lot more before putting your name on the wall. FTL and mass relays are still possible, Normandy not stranded.

I guess Bioware has officially jumped the shark now.

I chose Destroy and I was pleased, I miss EDI but I wants to live! I don't want to be a God...

No but I would feel like a hero if I had time to write how each of these endings fits thematically with context of Bioware being located in Edmonton: 1&2) the history of 19th Ukraine and its consequences in the 20th, 3) Alberta's place in the British Empire and the Adminstration of William Aberhart, 4) Random haughty thoughts about the nihilism of suicide.

I could write a whole literary essay based on the points above, but since being cryptic is the universally accepted way of showing you're smarter than your audience and the audience in this case being Hudson and Walters, I'll just leave it as it is above. 

Any Ukranian-Canadians who live in Alberta and also founded Bioware can PM me for an elaboration. The rest of BW please use Google to link the endings with the coresponding themes, you clearly wouldn't listen to my explanation or understand the artistic mastery before you.

Does anyone else find it maddeningly ironic that the Catalyst explains to you that his creators ***UNWILLINGLY*** became the first Reaper? The CREATORS of the Catalyst? The CREATORS of the "Solution" for the war between synthetics and organics?

And we still can't win if we reject his bull****.

[Xenite]

The current ending makes the franchise so irreconcilable that I don't see how any future game is possible. It created three different worlds which could exists, and they are dramatically different. Four counting the little screw the complaints rejection ending.

You have a world with the transcended nonsense where ShepGod rules the galaxy.

A world where every living humanoid is now a man-bot.

Or a world where all synthetics have been destroyed, including the Geth and Reapers.

No future game is going to be able to adjust that massively to those three possibilites. So when they said save your Mass Effect 3 saves, they must of meant so you can buy DLC.

I have to applaud Bioware, they have not only capped off a three game series with one of the worst endings in gaming history, they also managed to utterly destroy their flagship franchise in the process.

[Aurvant]

The Synthesis, while a much better written ending this time around, still makes noooo sense at all. How does a beam of green light give synthetic structures DNA and create organic hybrids? DUNNO.

How does it make organics part synthetic through genetic alteration? DUNNO.

It's better than it was, but only in execution. Not in substance.

Destroy = Halo 3 Legendary Ending

Control = Deus Ex (1) - Helios ending

Sythesis = Deus Ex (2) - JC Denton ending

Refusal = Mass Effect 3 Ending (Bad)

I can't help it, but when I watch synthesis it feels as if the Borg collective has assimilated the whole galaxy.

[Edolix]

An LI reunion was ALL that I was looking for from the EC. I could have forgiven everything else about the ending if only we had that reunion.

Argh.

Ok... I've read the reviews now. I only have one thing to say to you, Bioware, now and that is goodbye. I've really enjoyed the games you've made through the years, especially the Mass effect series which was a brilliant trilogy. Too bad that it was utterly destroyed in those last minutes. You even had this final chance to make things right but again you failed to deliver.

Ending an epic story like this one in a way that would please most of your fans is obviously hard and it would take brilliant writers to pull that off. It appears as if you're just not that great.

Thanks for a handful of brilliant games but I will not pay for more disappointments like this.

So, you didn't play it yourself or even bother to just watch them and you're basing your judgement off of someone else's words. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Actually did watch it. not verry impressed. It's an improvement, sure but it does not live up to the hyoe and expectaions. The red ending is still the only one that makes any sense what so ever and the existence of the catalyst is not really explained at all. If you don't agree then fine. But I think I'm done with this company.

Actually I would  be very interesting in seeing you points. Still I agree... the Extended Cut took everything from the "WTF is this crap"... to a  "Meh"  for me.  One of the biggest reasons is freaking quality there is nothing that says this could not be have been done for the original game. Secondly the endings still don't  mesh well with the series. all in all it just a dissappointment in the end in my eyes.   It all just comes off as Mac Walters and Casey Hudson trying to come off as high mind and deep, and instead its just kinda funny. Especailly the evil empire of doom music that was playing  during the control ending.   Really? Shepard ascends to immortal guardian of  the galaxy and you play the evil empire  of doom music.

Ditto.  Now we have a polished turd.  Thankfully there are better Developers out there.

I have to say I am very pleasantly surprised. The ending I chose was "Destruction" after having to replay the mission twice, LOL because the first time I shot the lil' bastard "Harby-starchild" and it trolled me with a crappy ending. So I had to reload and when I finally chose destruction I have to say that I am very happy with it. I know some people are going to want a more concrete proof of a LI reunion or something but the Destruction ending it's pretty straight forward.

I feel like that should have been the original ending. It's not perfect by any means but to be honest it makes me feel a hell of a lot better when the starchild tells Shep that there will be destruction but nothing that can't be rebuilt and it is said that the relays are in bad condition but not impossible to repair in a near future.

Also the scene with the Normandy was really interesting. It seems like they stayed stranded for a bit, maybe a few months? Until most races started rebuilding their own planets and it seems to me they assume Shepard dies, which is why they made a plaque with her name but then they take off the planet they were stranded, obviously to return to Earth (which now seems possible) and I get the same scene with Shepard breathing which indicates that Shepard is still alive somewhere in the ruins of the Citadel. Seems nobody has gone up there to find her.

Also the images/slideshow and the words by Admiral Hackett really gave me hope that the galactic civilization is not destroyed but heavily damaged. I don't know there were so many little things that I was pleased with.

It's definitely not a perfect ending but if this is what I had gotten the first time, things would have SO MUCH different to me. I feel much better about Shepard and Kaidan and the relays and everybody surviving and rebuilding again.

Did you enjoy yourself?

What I read so far hasn't changed my opinion on the colours that much...genetic viloation is still not my cup of tea, and making Shepard an incorpreal AI damned to live with the memory of what she once was and had and never will be able to feel again is a fate I will never lift upon my Shepards...

So..yes, I would still feel wonderful to choose destroy (but I am in the position that I never cared about the GEeh and EDI anyway). Oh, and of course my Shepards are ALL paragon choosing it, because they never will trust the kid, and never can they know about the cutscenes that imply the "good sides" of blue and green...

So all that matters is my Shepards un-knowing and my player's will to have Shepard alive...DEstroy is win-win for me and Shepard! Hooray! Now jsut show her with her loved ones and I am fine and would play the game again!
