So, many agree the EC was a big improvement, but did it rekindle your love or recapture the magic of the series??

Let's just say it inspired me to get back into the first Halo game and replay my favourite sci-fi gaming trilogy.

The problem is, its clear that ITS THE ENDING of the ME series. ANy other game in the MEuniverse will have to take place BEFORE those events, personally i dont find that compelling. But the fact is, IF that was meant to be the ending of the series, it should be MUCH better. It was meant to be an ending, closed with a golden key, to make it as close of perfect as it could be.

After the EC I feel I can now play ME with passion and love again.

OK, its not perfect, I still would of loved to see Rachni warriors swarming a Destroyer or my Volus bombing fleet taking out a couple of Reapers etc. but what we have now is far superior to what we got served back in March.

I love the addition of the "Reject" ending and I'm one of those people who think that is the way any "true" paragon Shep would go. Please don't shoot me if you disagree lol.

I'm looking forward to a new ME 1-3 playthrough.

it cemented Mass Effect franchise as "just another game I enjoyed for a time, but will barely remember years from now" in my mind.

its just.. meh.

why are you still here, you ask? whim, checking up on DA related stuff on my account and seeing this pop up as something one of my friends replied to.

many? really? in what magical fairy tale land did you get this data from? can you show me the candy cane wand you used to scribe this idea onto a parchment made of unicorn skin? it would also be good of you to get me an audience with the arch wizard of this lollipop-rainbow world that decreed this as the law of the land, because i simply don't think that this could be even remotely close to the truth.

Just answering the title question:

NO. ME3 doesn't feel like ME1 or ME2. It's the outlier in the series.

Answering the title question: Yes, it is still not the endings i expected (like dao), but thats good endings anyway. We actually expected too much, ofc original endings were very disappointing, but for example halo ending was pretty similar, GoW 3 and ending for the whole GoW trilogy was much worse than original ME3, so i dunno, ofc i expected very very happy ending but still..

While it did improve the ending, i still do not really like the concept that was presented. To me it doesn't fit with the ME universe and comes out of left field at the last minute. But overall, it did make it so i do not go into a furious rage whenever i think about the ending, so that i suppose is a good thing.

It did for me too. Yah, there are still a few points I could quibble about, but the EC was plain badass. Loved it.


Same here, and THANK YOU BIOWARE!

No, it didn't. BioWare still ended the trilogy on a f***ing cliffhanger. Is Shepard alive? Is he dead? Too bad you'll never f***ing find out!

I can't say yes right now. I'm not going to say no either. It's borderline no for now.

A heck of a lot better in effort than the original 2 men in a room came up with........

Unfortunately 2 men in a room came up with the blueprint and put that weight around ME3's neck that the whole writing team had to work within the confines of.

I enjoyed the ending this time around. It was engaging and the dialogue wheels first 'explain the destroy ending' pretty much delivered what I wanted when I clicked the 'I want details' option.

That said, to get through the 3 months of debate and analysis I turned to youtube parodies of Mass Effect and I'm having a little trouble re-acclimitising to the seriousness of the final chapter. Knowing Ash's dialogue can be re-worded to say 'I can wear swimwear into battle' kinda brings a stifled chortle when I'm trying to shoot a Reaper in the eye.

Not that much better, was the same ending,

Still illogical And stupid and without a sense of closure for me personally.

Let me go and speak to my crew and reunite with them if I lived.

I thought the endings were crap and they are the same endings just with more "explaiming"

In other words they rammed more BS ARTISTIC INTEGRITY DOWN OUR THROATS

It restored my faith, and im actually going to replay the games again. Theyre still not perfect, and the game is still a bit lacking with the beggining of the game, and the retaking of earth. But its much much better now.

It definitely rekindled the love of the Mass Effect franchise for me. Honestly, I just wanted to see a deeper ending than what we originally received, and it seems that we certainly got it. I love that I actually felt emotion this time around, good emotion, and I can ignore any leftover plotholes because they really don't affect my personal enjoyment of the trilogy's closing moments. Thank you, Bioware!

Well actually i have to disagree a bit here. They did fix one thing. And it made the whole thing far less illogical, and that was the relays and citadel dont blow upp. Theyre just damaged. Which was one of the big "WTFs" in the original ending.

No, it broke my god damn heart, which i find rather pathetic of me. I promised myself after d/ling the DLC I would finally make my 2 Shepards choose, and end for better or worse. Now I watched all the bloody endings, and I'm more frozen with indecision then before....

**** **** **** Bioware.....

Faith was restored a good amount. I still remember the old endings, and this won't make me forget them.

While obviously rewriting the whole ending was the optimal solution, it was never going to happen. And I can't fault BioWare for not only being willing to compromise with us, but to do it for free.

It made me ok with the series again. I can leave my litho up on my wall now. But it didn't make me love it again. It went from my 2nd favourite franchise to one of the rest thanks to an ending. Got to admit, it's impressively bad

No it didn't OP. All i wanted was a ending were Shepard is alive and reunites with his/her LI and crew. I wanted those little blue children with Liara. What they gave us was... ok. But the EC was half assed, all we mostly get is a picture slide show instead of in game cinematic's. It was very cheaply done.

Ya the magic is gone. Maybe if they had done the EC version the first time, but the fact that i know Bioware thought their ending was good... yikes...

Honestly the EC for me got close...but the fact they wouldn't even allow us in the best possible ending, the destroy one, to even SEE shepard reunite with his LI...ya its implied i know, but without seeing it...meh. To me the best part of the series was the LI because its something never really done before, at least in the fashion Bioware did it.

Then i get the original POS endings, rage, cry, whatever they sucked ass.

Next i get the EC which is infinitely better...but i still don't get to see shepard with his LI, even just the normandy flying over the citadel wreckage with you LI looking out the window and seeing Shepard, who waves at the normandy...that's enough...but didn't get that either.

So when i think of playing again, i just don't feel like it, the magic is gone. And its gone from 1 and 2 as well for me because i know that 3 was just...
