So have you lived under a rock the past year?

And lol at people actually getting depressed over a mediocre videogame ending


I fought a war and seen real carnage. If the ending of Mass Effect 3 made you depressed you either have some living ahead of you or you need to grow up. I have spent the past two days awake because my brain dosen't want to see what my ptsd wants to show it. People are still whining about how the ending depressed them? Fu+king please! Get something real to be sad about! Guess what people!

The ending of ME3 was realistic.

In war people die and if you where lucky enough to survive and go home you are changed forever.

Well, as someone who deals with humanity's worst in his daily job, is it to much to ask for my escapist videogame nonsense fantasy to end in an uplifting, inspiring and fulfilling manner? Especially since the last two installments of the series did exactly that?

All three of the main endings are uplifting and inspiring, especially after the EC. They may not be the most coherent thing ever, but they do try to paint a picture of a galaxy that will preserve and move on into a bright future without the Reapers.

People whine about them being grimdark and depressing because they can't handle anything bad happening to their power fantasy Shepard.

All 3 endings are contrived, full of out-of-place symbolism,lacking on vital details ,full of fatalysm and are totally unfitting to the spirit of the trilogy and to the character of main hero.
People complain about that.
p.s
Uplifting and inspiring?? Really? Inspiring?
Hahaha! That joke should have been in Citadel.

How exactly are the ME3 endings sad?

I can think of many things to complain about when it comes to ME3 and the ME3 endings, but "sad" is not one of them.

Honestly, I never get it these people who throw around words like "bittersweet" or "grimdark" or "sad" when describing the ME3 endings. How exactly are the ME3 endings "grimdark" or "bittersweet" or "sad"?

Yeah I think this right here already answers my question. You're probably right Morocco.

Renegade Control is my favorite ME3 ending, with Destroy being a very close-second favorite.


All other endings suck donkey balls (well, ALL endings suck donkey balls, in fact ME3 as a whole sucks donkey balls, but Renegade Control and Destroy are acceptable compared to all the other major suckery that goes on in ME3).

Never tried Renegade Control.. it just invokes images of Stalin to me (otoh, it'd be kind of cool if the galaxy just gets plastered with a bunch of Soviet era posters all over the place with Shepard's face. "Shepard is watching you.").

No, those endings are horrifyingly violent and nihilistic, but are presented to the player as hopeful, uplifting and inspiring.

No they aren't. There is literally nothing nihilistic (do you even know what word means?) at all about the endings. Even refuse isn't nihilistic.

They painted over the dark parts in favor of making it look pretty. Because people like pretty things. 

I don't like all the negative stuff being just sidelined and swept under the rug. 

They could have and should have done better.

Certainly wasn't depressed at the ending structure, but I was very disappointed. The original ending was bad enough, what killed my interest totally was the EC. I thought the lack of player control and pacing of the final mission was a complete turn off. The EC did nothing to improve on that, I felt it just made that part worse.

Nope. Still not seeing it.

Mass Effect 3 has dark themes. But they aren't that dark. The only times I'd even call the game dark is if you side with the geth or sabotage the genophage with Wrex. And that's it. Thessia is a joke and the endings themselves are nowhere near that level. Even Refuse ends on a very optimistic note with the new cycle defeating the Reapers.

Mass Effect 3 never tries to be realistic in anything. Except maybe "war sucks"

Moral compromise? Bioware can't even write the Renegade path without going into cackling jackass territory. So that's certainly not in there.

Wasn't aware that laughing at a hyperbolic negative comment was the equivalent of trolling. 

And yeah, you're wrong about the bolded because there's a sliding scale of "honor".

What's the working definition of "honor" here? Doing the right thing regardless of the cost, or some such?

Not really getting the honor part either. But I bet it has to do with destroy killing the geth and EDI
