I realize all the endings were technically victories but they sure didn't feel like it, not to the same extent as the first two games. As we know two endings Shepard dies and the one where he lives he has to sacrifice EDI and the Geth (and this is refered to by the devs as the "best ending"). The extended cut was nice and all but in the end they were the same endings. And I think I speak for many people when I say I wanted a LI reunion at the end, (i get that it's implied but I wanted to see it), the Shepard taking a breathe scene just wasn't enough for me.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that the single player DLC has some sort of impacted on the endings. Hopefully Bioware will read threads like these. So For all those who wanted a happy ending I urge you to make similar threads.

Also I am tired of people assuming that I am unintelligent because I wanted a happy ending. Why do people do that?

War is hell, war is sacrifice, war is family and loved ones torn apart, and war, war never changes.

Yes you wanted a happy ending, so does every soldier that goes to war. But ultimately someone dies in war.

It's nothing to be ashamed of. All other Mass Effect games have had happy endings if you do things right, and the tone was always, "Yes, we kicked some ass! Time to start another play through!" In ME3 the tone feels more like, "I won... I guess, but um, yeah I'm going to go lie down and pretend I never played that game."
ME3 is probably the only game where the only way to win is not playing the final mission imo.

Fact of the matter is. Every ending sucked and was a major downer. In an attempt at being "bittersweet" they just made 3 equally crappy and un-gratifying endings.

OP I agree about the LI reunion and yes it is implied but I wanted to see it. But at least in the endings you didn't feel like you sent the galaxy into the dark ages like I have said the EC was just short of good wanted that LI reunion

True but this also a videogame, a story. And even in real life there are stories of soldiers who avoided death through chance, There was one guy who avoid a bullet in the head by slipping on a puddle of blood.

This. I'm sick of people saying things like, "The ending should be sad, this is war." No, **** that. This isn't real life and many of the other characters I deeply cared for died in the game already. If I wanted to be depressed, I would watch Requiem for a Dream or The Road, not play some third installment of a series that suddenly decided to be grim and bleak out of nowhere. We deserve to have the chance at a real happy ending, not some circular logic, empty, crap.

He is the same type of person who says you want a happy ending play a Disney game when to them any ending not dark and extremely depressing is a Disney ending. In my me3 playthroughs mordin dies thane dies legion dies and many others do as well but having an LI reunion at the end  is a Disney ending (while half or more of the galaxy we know is completely destroyed. They are full of S***

Even I never expected a Happy ending. Ever since I blew up the relays and killed millions of Batarian to stop Reapers, I knew It would not end well for Shepard OR the galaxy.. I was ready for a sad ending... But not THIS debacle

LOL!!! Happy ending!! If you ever expected a "happy ending" you clearly don't know soldier (games about military char's)... No. Games about "realistic" or soldiers in general don't end happy! And they are Allan about sacrifice! I lille the new endings because they gave me closure. If Shep ever meet up with his romance is up to ME fanfics because Bioware LOVES fan creations like any other game company

I'll give you credit. I appreciate that you have the courage to say "I want this", rather than try to hide behind invisible allies and say "we want this."

Now, to my rebuttal.

I would have liked a "happy" ending too. But with the ending they chose to go with, a "happy" ending would be completely out of place, and defeat the moral question they tried (and mostly failed) to propose.

For a happy ending to fit would require a complete scrapping and rewriting of the ending. And I think it's been established that Bioware is NOT going to do that. EVER.

Please don't use the word "realistic" in an argument like this because always ending unhappy is as unrealistic as always ending happy.

[BDelacroix]

I love how people use the "realistic" argument in 1) a totally made up story in a 2) future science fiction story.

If you wanted real, the story would be a lot different on many different levels.

Good think Me's military is nowhere near realistic.

I don't know about that. Everyone simply appeared to be brainwashed.

If they just made it is possible for Shepard to survive without killing EDI and the Geth, this would be enough for me.

Yeah, my mind is still boggled over the fact that they made there be the biggest decision at the end of the game. That and how, nowhere, out of the blue they went all Deus Ex on us and failed miserably.

Happy endings are good.
