No, it is a forced failure that automatically gets solved from Samantha Traynor. Why should Shepard care about anything when Bioware doesn't give Shepard the chance to care?

They already ripped off B5 for most of the rest of the trilogy, and they did not garner a lot of hate for that. The problem with the ending was that it completely changed the nature of the enemy without any lead up or using an established character, also it changed the main conflict of the game. TDKRs ending did neither of these, if bioware were to have used a SIMILAR ending I think it would have worked better. Also TDKR proves that a "hero lives" ending can be just as "artistic" and epic as a "hero dies" ending, actually IMO a "hero lives" ending would ALMOST always be better. ME3 is one of the cases where it should be a possibliity, along with a "hero dies but accomplishes goal" and an ending where everyone is doomed because the hero completely and utterly failed, not because the hero refused to act.The Mad Hanar wrote...

But TBH I'd probably compare INCEPTION to Mass Effect 3 more than TDKR (When referring to it's current state even with EC) .. However a Ending similar to TDKR where you see Shepard with his LI would have been fine ... But not in the context of the Current Ending, it would still be illogical as to how they got there and wtf happened.
Mac Walters wanted Speculation? Same goes for Nolan with Inception. There's TONS of Theories out there all over the internet about what the Ending of Inception TRULY meant.
ME3 was like Inception ... The story was complex, it had depth, it had logic and was grounded in reasoning (within its own 'worlds rules') ... The difference? Inception ended with Happiness, but there was still sacrifice for that Joy.
Cob's wife is still Dead... He still had to plant an idea in someone's mind which may or may not completely change their entire persona and life ... And there's the possibility that he still may not even be living in 'Reality' ... But HE is happy. HE is satisfied ... Reality doesn't even matter anymore, he just wants to be with his Kids and enjoy his life, and he can do that regardless of whether it's still a dream or not.
It was a happy Ending, with plenty of speculation to change how you view it and whether it 'Gains or Loses' sadness based of your perception.
THAT'S how you End something Artistic and Ambitious ... Mass Effect 3's Ending in comparison looks worse then ****e.

Well they would be better off going to rip off Nolan than whoever writes dues ex. Nolan is a FAR better writer than whatever piece of trash thought of Dues ex. $$$ dont lie, dues ex wouldnt make sh** in theatres. I see a lot more love for the DKR ending than the ME3 ending. Nolan seems to have the majority LIKING it. Cause he's a pro.

I thought it was a terrific movie... It had issues with pacing and some underwhelming characters (Talia)... Tell me about these plotholes you speak of?Torrible wrote...
I don't know what movie you guys were watching. TDKR is massively disappointing. This comes from someone who thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 films. It's bloated. It's boring for more than half the movie. It's full of plotholes. Bane deserved a better ending. Miranda's reveal wasn't just predictable, it was unnecessary. At that point, it didn't matter if it was Bane or Talia who did you know what. I give the movie some credit for the acting and a decent finale but how the hell is this a good end to the Batman trilogy?

While I don't have things I would call plotholes, I could give you a list of things I didn't like.

Yeah, I'd love to hear about these plotholes. . . and to make it clear, I don't think TDKR was an outstanding example of screenwriting, but it's ending was extremely satisfying and didn't leave more questions than it answered (unlike ME3). Although you are entitled to your opinion, to call the movie "massively disappointing" seems rather extreme and unfounded in my honest opinion.Shaftell wrote...

EDIT: I have to agree that if Bioware was looking for an artistic way to end the series they should have looked at Inception. That being said though, I don't think very many people became interested in ME for the artistry, but more for it's ability to introduce oneself to an engrossing world full of strange creatures and fascinating locales. A game like that deserves satisfying endings based upon player-made choices, not the development team's idea of "art".

Ok I just came back from watching the movie - and couldn't wait to post this - and this will be a pro-BioWare / Mass Effect 3 ending post - because:
The Dark Knight Rises is (in my opinion) EXACTLY like the Mass Effect 3 Destroy ending - which makes it so sweet.
They show Shepard breathing in the end - just like it was teased (before they actually show him) that Bruce Wayne might be alive.
It made me love the destroy ending of Mass Effect 3 even more - and I found the OP a bit ironic - to have BioWare take note - because from my perception - it is EXACTLY how they did it - and its awesome!
The two endings have similarities, but are actually very different.
Yes, they did both have a shift in villain toward the end (TDKR going from Bane to Miranda; ME3 going from the Reapers to the Catalyst). However, making Miranda Tate the main villain near the end of TDKR served to wrap up the trilogy nicely, calling back to Ra's al Ghul and the conflict in Batman Begins. Miranda wanting to avenge her father and finish his work made sense narratively.
On the other hand, the Catalyst showed up and made a conflict that had been very much on the periphery of the Mass Effect series (the organic/synthetic issue having really only been referenced withe Geth/Quarian war) and made it the central conflict of everything. If that was really the reason behind everything the Reapers were doing, why didn't Sovereign mention it at all in ME1 or Harbinger in ME2? The Catalyst creating an organic vs synthetic conflict did not make sense narratively.
The other issue is the Shepard breath scene. It is not exactly like TDKR's final Italy scene at all. The two would have been very similar if TDKR had cut off after the Lucius Fox autopilot scene, but it didn't, it explicitly showed Bruce with Selina in Italy smiling at Alfred in the cafe. If the high EMS Destroy ending had shown shepard on Ilium, Thessia, Rannoch, somewhere (but NOT Earth or the Citadel, he would be too easily recognized there) with his/her LI and perhaps a child as he acknowledges Anderson silently, it would have been much improved from the utterly ambiguous "breath scene."

The only ones that some people have mention/noticed is the bit at the end with Lucius and the Bat. The original was destroyed so have did he have another check? If there was more than one why didn't bane take them? Did bruce known there was more than one an fixed them all? Why did he sign it was bruce wayne that fixed it was he always gonna fake his death and quit?
The other being if bruce had renewed angry, fear and purpose why did he quit? it does go against batmans character, he never quits because he does't trust others to do it for him etc
