Bioware is it too much to ask for the feeling of victory when we beat ME3

Bioware can't really help what you felt.  You and you alone control how you feel about something.  Feeling victorious is something that should easily be doable by you, considering that every option is a victory.  Even refuse, if you twist the word victory into something unrecognizable, like its fans do.


HAHAHAHA that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.  Remember next time one of your loved ones dies, you can just choose to feel happy about it.  Oh wait...  it doesn't work that way.  At all. 

Art is all about controlling how somebody feels.  This is why we call things comedies or tragedies, the artist is trying to make you feel a certain way.  If the vast majority of people feel like the endings are a letdown or if the endings feel like a surrender, then either that's what Bioware wanted in the first place, or they FAILED with the message they were trying to convey. 

Now you might be an exception to the rule (as many people who still bother to hang out here probably are), but most people I've talked to about the ME3 feel like it ended poorly or in failure.

"You and you alone control how you feel about something."  I just don't understand apologists. 

So you're telling me that if someone provokes you, you have no control over your emotions at all?  You have no choice but to feel angry?  Others can attempt to influence your emotions, but the final say is yours.  If something bad happens to you, you can feel bad about it and mope, or you can dust yourself off and keep going.  You are in control, ultimately.

I'm not apologizing for anything, I just don't jump on the hate bandwagon.  Especially about something that Bioware has virtually no control over.  Bioware, why couldn't you tailor the game to exactly what I wanted?  I wanted to blow up the Reapers with my mind alone and then bang Liara for two hours straight.  I didn't get that and now I feel sad.  You are to blame, Bioware!  Not me, not my unrealistic expectations, you!


You can choose how you ACT about it, but you can't choose how you FEEL about it.  You can shove me on a busy street, just because I might choose not to retaliate doesn't mean I'm not angry about it.  The ME3 endings are all miserable, I think it was a poor decision to have so bleak an ending no matter what you do, and I can't (nor would I) "choose" to ignore it and pretend I like the game anyway just because that's what a "real fan" should do. 

Bioware is the author, they have the ultimate blame.  And why exactly is a satisfying ending an "unrealistic expectation"???     Are you actually saying Bioware couldn't have written their own game any other way????  Now they have every right to stand by their work, but I (and a whole army's worth of other fans) have every right to not like the route they went down.  Bioware set out to make a game many people would like, many people did NOT like said product, that's Bioware's fault.

So if I get pushed in a giant bucket full of steaming sh** its my fault for not feeling awesome?
Seems legit

No, but it is your fault if you take an ambiguous situation and make it seem as bad as possible to justify complaining.  Not feeling victorious over your victory is a "you" problem, and no one else's.  I don't know how anyone could argue otherwise.

Ah that´s the reason Amazon offered refunds to people who were unsatisfied with ME3, the price dropped pretty quick and Bioware tried to do damge control aka the EC. There is actually nothing wrong with the game. Its all just our fault. How stupid of us.  Send us a picture of you so we can build a statue in your honor for enlightning us.


Oh gee, I see the hostility is on the rise around here.  God forbid we actually act like mature adults.

Nice strawman, by the way.  I never said nothing was wrong with the game.  But only you have control over your reaction to anything.  If you didn't feel victorious, then well the fault at least partially lies with you.  But no, can't have anyone take responsibility for their own actions, we have to play the blame game.

So if I pay you a visit and murder your loved ones you still have total control over your emotions?
Sorry but the whole argument that we have control over our feelings in nonsense. You can control your actions aka not shouting at someone when you feel angry but you cant control the feeling that your are angry.

Every option is a victory through compromise, betrayal, and death.

It's "victory" of a sort, but at too high a price for the game to be enjoyable.


For you.  Also, Refusal is a defeat, but with a high EMS, somehow the next cycle wins!


Actually, this makes perfect sense.  With a high enough EMS, it means that our cycle damaged enough Reapers to allow victory down the line.

Sucks to be you, I guess. I felt the way DocGriffin did, myself. They're all wins.


Yeah for anyone that believes the kid's uh logic.  Sorry, but you solved his problem not the galaxy's and you did it in ways no one asked for. 

Synthesis changes everyone and not necessarily for good at all.  Ever heard of the Krogan and what happened when they were advanced beyond their readiness?  And it doesn't get rid of the reapers.

Control is insane.  The tone is ominous.  Shepard no longer is Shepard and is without feeling.  Shreaper is not even as alive as EDI.  The kid says it will take Shepard's thoughts and memories, not anything else.  That Shepard says things my paragon Shepard would not and is itself one of many, a consciousness not just of Shepard's but of all that are within the reapers-not an emotion amongst them.  No one can honestly believe that everyone is going to stop shooting at reapers and not wonder what they are up to when they start fixing relays.  And really yes everyone is going to be happy with them flying around.  "Hey Ed, didn't that reaper over there 'eat' your kids?"  "Yes, Fred, but it's fine now.  He makes a great omelet."  It doesn't get rid of the reapers.

Destroy isn't even fully explained.  Listen to what the kid says about it.  Then tell me what that means for synthetics.  Not synthetic life, because he does not say it targets synthetic life-it targets synthetics.  And he implies it will do severe damage to Shepard so what about anyone else (like most of the people in the galaxy) that have synthetic implants or skin or appendages?  What does the kid meant when he says if you choose destroy, "There will losses but no more than you've already lost?"  And I know EDI and the geth are destroyed (and no, you can't just rebuild them), but what else happens?  Oh, I know people can easily rebuild the other tech it damages.  Yes, because they instantly learned how relays work and all.  Just like they could easily build the crucible.  They are the smartest dumbest people ever.  Oh, but at least this does destroy the reapers, maybe.  And Shepard's a crispy biscuit laying in rubble alone and in an unknown location, in an unknown condition.  Woooo, that sounds like a win to me.

Choose which sort of monster you want to become to win essential. The end justifies the means, I'm not a fan of that notion, and given the paragon renegade options up to that point I didn't have to be.


I'd rather play as the one that fights monsters, rather than become one.  Sadly, Bioware did not anticipate players would actually want that option.

If you can't squeeze one tiny ounce of victorious joy from any EC ending, then I'd say the fault lies with you, my young foot-stomping, lip-pouting friend. Instead of scrapping the bottom of the whine-barrel in order to look like one of the cool kids, how 'bout you give the game one more go with an open mind. Or, if you're not that way inclined, (and I admit this is a wildly radical idea) give some other game the benefit of your joy-sucking wisdom. Or just play ME 1 and 2 again. I'm not really fussed about what you do in your spare time.

OK. I admit. That was mean.

You're right, that WAS mean.... and I agree with the OP; AND I'm NOT some "young foot-stomping, lip-pouting friend?(or did you mean fiend?)"... I've probably been playing computer games twice as long as you've been alive
(like 47 years), and I, too, thought the endings contained very little of a "victory" feel to them... so it's not just the
youngsters that feel that way. Just an old farts two cents worth ( I remember when 2 cents would buy 2 double-bubble gums ^_^)

You and me both.  I started playing video games on a computer you hooked up to the tv, that used cartridges and a tape deck to load games with sprites. 

This ending insults my intelligence.  I like a good story and would have been glad for an all out fight with chances for everything-loss, sacrifice, and victory.  I got total fantasy in an SF story.  And I got a conversation with the enemy.  No win, just a slide show trying to make it sound happy.

Ironically you are asking for an unrealistic expectation because everyone has their own tastes and a satisfying conclusion is in the eye of the beholder based on how its a video game series designed for millions of people.

Its uselsess to complain as an individual about a certain video game, novel, comic, movie, or tv show since they're designed around millions of people with varying tastes to like them.  If you don't like it then you can move on while you'll never see a universal agreement of positive feedback from something.

No sacrifice, no victory.....

There are already millions/billions of people dead at the end of ME3 including friends like Thane and Mordin and most populated worlds are seriously damaged. I dont get the point of killing Shepard or the Geth. The end is already bittersweet. There is no need to force it further


if you feel that way, then choose one of the two options where you only sacrifice yourself.....and not all the Geth


As I said, I knew that there was going to be a heavy price to pay.....

Hell, Garrus knew it was coming...."let 10 million die over there, so 20 million over here can live"


It didn't feel forced at all. If I wanted to entirely rid the galaxy of the Reapers, then I have to purge all technology derived from or associated with Reaper tech.....makes sense, and most notably, such an ending or ones similar, have been used since the inception of the sci fi genre

The thing that endings are nonsensical im my eyes.
I killed the Illusive not five minutes ago for wanting control but now its ok? NOPE
Synthesis? NOPE
Destroy? Im laying alone in rubble grasping air one time but an entire race dies for it NOPE

Also in response to the bolded part. Do you know that the whole Mass Effect technology is derived from Reaper tech? Purging it would mean throwing everyone back to the point before space travel was possible.


so basically, your opinion. Your opinion. And, your opinion. (Pertaining to the end choices, that's all you expressed. Opinions.)

And yes, I am aware that "mass effect" technology(i.e. relays and the citadel) is Reaper tech.....And No, it would not bring everybody back to a time without space travel... In the ME universe, Humans achieved space flight without mass effect technology.....in fact, they would've never discovered Mass Effect tech without getting off Earth.....they travelled through space with their own tech, and eventually found out that, gee there's crazy Relay thingy's out here....nice try though

Of course im stating my opinion. I dont know what you are doing in these thread if you are not stating your opinion.

Also real space travel is impossible because FTL drives and the Relays are the only means to travel in the galaxy and they both rely on Reaper tech. Taking that away means that everyone is trapped in their home system until the find a solution on their own. We already have space flight in real life. It just takes decades to even get to our most distant planets.. nice try though

try? No....I stated a fact. Any form of transportation in space is called "space travel".....yes, its "real".....and its already been implied within the games that organics can create FTL drives with their own tech..... as well as possibly being able to replicate Mass Effect technology and rebuild the relays if necessary (per Matriarch Aethyta)


...oh....right.....


Nice try though...

I could careless about Forbes since they were just catering to the contraversy just like most of the media does to blow things out of proportion.  The ME3 small uproar was about the same size of the other contraversies that happened this year like Dark Souls being a Game for Windows, Diablo 3 closed beta sigil, Lara Croft's sexual assault, Agent 47 killing sexy nuns, Skyward Sword being the 1st Zedla game, Operation Raccoon City wasn't a remake of RE2, DoA5's CE having a swimsuit pack for its female fighers, and Street Fighter x Tekken having a 12 player DLC pack.  No game is contraversy free these days especially when the Internet is involved.

Actually they do based on their respectitive "fans" complaining while the whole outcry from Agent 47 and Lara Croft is still creating national headlines after and before E3 2012.  Hell the biggest contraversy would be Aeris's death in FF7 or that there's hasn't been a remake of FF7 yet.

You caring less is irrelevant. Something's wrong on the output end with that kind of backlash.

Heck the first computer I used, and the first job I had in data processing (summer), involved programming using a language called Fortran and used punch cards. Then Hewlett Packard came out with the pocket calculator that did basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, trigonometry, square roots, powers of 10, logarithms, and stuff like that and it cost $500 back in 1970. The next year Texas Instruments came out with one that did the same thing for $200. Those were the days. Remember the Commodor Pet that used mag cassette tapes and took forever to load? Hey 8 K of ram was all you'd ever need in your life. Remember when you had to load the operating system by floppy disk every time you booted up? Then my first real PC with a 5 MB Hard Drive and 640 K of RAM!!!!

The ending to ME3 insults my intelligence. Seriously. Even with the EC. Control sounds like a Joe Stalin propaganda moment. Synthesis sounds like a Dr. Frankenstein moment (I can almost hear Colin Clive screaming "It's alive!!! It's alive!!!" instead of EDI saying "I am alive"), and Destroy? Well, that's Walters just picking his marbles up and going home and leaving us with that token 1/4 second breath scene from which we are supposed to draw our closure if we chose Destroy.

No. Sorry Mac. That doesn't work. Try again. I'll give you an F+. The + is for effort on the second try, but you still didn't get it right. You could have done so much more with that ending it isn't even funny, but it's too late now unless you want to rewrite the entire thing, but if you change the last six seconds of destroy to show Shepard alive and whole and being rescued OR add a reunion scene I'll give you a passing grade, and you won't have to repeat this class. --- your English Teacher.

Yet the same amount of backlash that ME3 got is the same amount that Dark Souls on the PC, Diablo 3, Tomb Raider, Hitman: Absolution, Zelda: Skyward Sword, RE: ORC, DoA5, and Street Fighter x Tekken got.  Video games are never free from contraversies like Mortal Kombat's violenece,  Lara Croft's cones, San Andres's hot coffee mod, Oblivion's nude skins uncovered in the Developer files, ME1's sex scenes, and MW2 airport massacre are a few contraversies in short history of video games.  Btw most of the contrversies are created by the media and allows them to make money off of those hits whether its on tv, the radio, or the intene.  Either way tFox News is a perfect example of the media causing problems out of thin air.

Sadly some people will complain no matter what amount of endings that Develper creates unless you can have 100% personalized endings.

I'll bet you'd have fewer people complaining if there was a wider range of ending though.

Destroy had my Shepard commiting genocide and murder.  And got buried in rubble for his troubles

And it's still the best ending of the lot.


And Bioware's confused why this wasn't well received?
