I'm a bit late on the Mass Effect trilogy but I've been playing it these past few months and I just beat the last game (ME3 extended cut) and I got an ending that I believe might just be one of the best ending I have ever experienced in a video game. It was the Destroy Ending.

 I maxed out my readiness by playing multiplayer, had all the war assets and went all out.
I:
Killed the Reapers
My Crew survived (except for edi, didn't care for her tho)
Shep survived
Life is back to normal, they just got to repair the mass relays

I also didn't care for the Geth or Tali and her species dying. I only cared about me, Miranda, ensuring humanities survival and killing those damn reapers.



So why all the hate towards the ending(s) of this game?

Introducing a new, major character in the last 5 minutes of the story is not good writing.

I'm sure everyone will agree.

OnlyMrChill Imma let you finish, but The Last of Us had one of the best endings of all time!

He's not necessarily a new character. He's basically a god.

The reapers were created somehow, so why not show who created them? Besides, you only see about 5 minutes of the boy until you make your final choice.

The ending was going to revolve around what you believe in basically. Either you'r ethe type that wants peace across the galaxy, or the type that just wants to save your ass and your girlfriend's ass. That's what I love about this game. I never really understood why people hated the endings so much.

They say it's because "not all my choices affected the ending". Well, what choices? How would punching or not punching the reporter have any affect in the ending of a war for all living species?

Don't knock the guy 'cause he liked the endings. Everyone has different likes and dislikes; in this case he likes the endings. So what? Don't worry haters, his liking of the ending doesn't invalidate your hatred of them; it just means he likes and dislikes different things then you.

At the end of his paragraph, he wrote

He is open to criticism or "knocking" as you so delightfully put it.

That's true. I want to know why everyone made it seem like it was horrific. I'm not sure why one would choose the synthesis ending because there is so much confusion surrounding that part, so why not choose the ending where you achieve your original goal in Mass Effect 1 & 2? Ending the reapers and living to tell the tale?

The one created by mrbtounge is quite extraordinary for a first time youtube user. I suggest that one and the extended cut one he followed up with it.

[Kataphrut94]

See, it's open to interpretation. That makes it a fine ending and ultimately harmless.

Its vague, not "open to interpretation". To be open to interpretation, means that you must find meaning (edit: intended by the writers) within the ending.

I.E the main theme.

Done.

[ShepnTali]

I can't think of any ending of anything, as anything other than satisfying, or not satisfying. The exception might be a neat twist. Here, Ive accepted the ending isn't satisfying, and that's that. I just deal with it.

[OnlyMrChill]

So I saw the first vid that Dubozz posted. I'll see the other ones later.

1) Joker escaping with the crew to survive is a "plot-hole"? ANY logical person would get the hell out of there before being turned into a crisp. Just because Shepard said "this is the end" doesn't mean one has to accept it. He and the whole crew decided to escape to try and SURVIVE. Who is Shepard to say that they should just stay there and die? Almost everyone in Shepard's crew KNEW Shepard was going to die, so why just stay there and die with him? In real life, we would all get the hell out of there to try and live to tell the tale.

2) Liara could have already been on the Normandy when Joker came to pick up edi and vega (those were the 2 with me). So I saw no problem with that.

3) The mass relay explosion didn't affect organics because it was technically still the Crucibles energy.

4) Yeah, the rest of the victory fleet are stranded because the mass relays were destroyed. It's their job to fix the mass relays. And I'm sure they have Quarian and Krogan food on their ships. They wouldn't go into a war that can last a long time without emergency back up food.

5) Yeah, the endings were similar in a way but they were supposed to show London, they were supposed to show Earth, because Earth was one of the main things Shepard was worried about. We were taking back EARTH. We weren't on another planet so why focus on other planets? Sure, it would have been nice seeing little segments of other planets and species fighting, but I was happy with what we saw on Earth.

6) The extended ending provided closure to other species.

7) There really are no happy endings in war. There's always death, sadness, and grief so I wasn't expecting a happy ending even though the Destroy ending was a happy ending for me because the reapers got destroyed, my crew survived, and shepard survived.

8) Didn't really have a problem with the God Child because I always saw the reapers as something that a God created to restore balance in each cycle.

9) The God Child is basically just an A.I. for the Gods. Shepard is also able to reject the god child but...we all know how that ends lol.

10) The different colored endings...okay name one game that has 3 different endings that are all vastly different from one another? Yeah, didn't think so. Of course, Mass Effect 3 could have been the first game to do that but they didn't and I'm sure they learned from that and will hopefully achieve that milestone in the next Mass Effect game.

I loved the experience this trilogy gave me, and some similar endings isn't enough to make me hate the game.

Say you had Liara as your LI and you had her with you on the ground team. You think she would just leave you there even if the odds weren't in her favor? What if Garrus was with Shep. Would he just leave Shep? Totally out of character to for them to just leave Shepard even if there was only a slim chance he was alive. Really doesn't mesh at all with their characterizations throughout the games.

I'm glad you like the ending, but for me ending is a thing that destroyed the whole franchise. I hope they will somehow retcon it for good.

Shepard was a dead man. He was at a point of no return and they all knew it. Why would anyone die with someone who is for sure dead when they can go on and live and spread the word of how great Shepard was. I doubt Shepard would have wanted them to die just because he's dying. Maybe Garrus would have stayed or Wrex, but they both died for me before Mass Effect 3 so that couldn't have happened in my ending.

All the good and memorable moments you had in Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 (before the ending) don't mean anything to you just because you didn't like the ending? Damn, we defintely need more true Mass Effect fans that cherish the whole trilogy for everything it gave us.

If they were badly injured and would be nothing but a burden to the mission, yes, I think both liara and garrus would do that.

The thing is, maybe they wouldn't. What if one deiced to reject Liara and treat her like sh*t? What if Garrus died in ME2's suicide mission? The ending played out well for me, so in a way I do have to take what you guys say into context but I just don't understand all the hate for a game that has delivered you so many great moments.

Name a type of species that can control almost-near-invincible squid looking aliens and not be considered god-tier level.

Apparently it's something important for you to be a true Mass Effect fan. 

[Podge 90]

Well at least OP is saying Destroy is the best ending, I suppose.

And the "hate" you speak of got you the Extended Cut, but don't worry, no need to say thank you.
