  I have put countless hours into mass effect, and all that Shepard has been through, he/she, deserved a simple, happy and uplifting ending.  What did you give us?  You gave us the most ridiculous and pathetic ending that was ever thought up by a unstable and defeated mind.
Your games deal in peoples emotions, you should respect that power.  Shame on you Bioware.

It has already been said.

I won't defend the ending itself as I felt disappointed with it too, but there's really nothing left to say on the matter. I also think you're wording your disappointment a little too strongly. I don't think Bioware should feel ashamed, and I don't think it's fair to call the ending a product of 'an unstable mind' (that could even be offensive to people with mental illnesses, and remember that some really great writing has come from people with "unstable" minds).
This was the ending they chose to give us and there's really nothing we can do about it. At the end of the day, it's their story. We can only hope they've learned a lesson from it and will attempt to think it out a little better in the future - or just refrain from doing something new and risky, but I'm not sure that would be a good thing.

And lastly, I don't think they disrespected the power in their possession; at most, I think they just weren't fully aware of how much power they actually had.

What are you complaining about? It was the best ending ever. Are you a maximalist? I sure am... Choose Destroy, everyone lives, Reapers Destroyed. Crucible damage can be repaired ( as of EC DLC Normandy gets repaired and flies away) full happy end. full. And I didn't even mention the Citadel DLC which is the best DLC I've ever seen.

I would more describe the citadel DLC as a pathetic slap-stick humorless comedy, but those to their own.

I am sure it has already been said a million times before, but having to say it one more time, can do no harm but to set in concrete what is mostly agreed upon. You dropped a massive clanger Bioware. Don't you dare do this to us again. ;)

all i wanted was a ending were you personally destroyed the reapers. not the space magic catalyst crucible thing doing all the dirty work. preferable a somber ending with most of the universe in ruins and the galactic population could be less than 1% surviving but it would of been a honest victory earned instead of a choose your own misadventure endings

Well, you know what i dont understand? They have a lot of knowledge about mass effect fields, also in one ME2 dlc there were a weapon that could produce a singularity field for a shot time. WHY THE HECK THEY DIDNT DO A BIGGER VERSION? :D:D or just push the slider a bit more that controls the whole size :D
Then give it to Mr. Shepard and the party can begin, 1 shot 1 kill

You wanted an ending where Shepard personally destroys gigantic space battleships? Without space magic?

I'm still waiting for the Rebirth DLC, which could set things right ;)

Yes, I'm sure that any one of us could have written a better ending in our lunch break, yet this was the best that the writers of the mighty Bioware could come up with.  It is very hard to believe.

Well not literally having shepard take the reapers down with his/her bare hands, but in a Star Wars, Star Trek, Star Gate SG-1, Lord of the Rings, etc. way in which insurmountable odds are then over come and not in a Matrix Architect or kind of 12 Monkeys preordained conclusion where you choices are already made for you

I still have problems with inconsistency and space magic BS. I don't care about happy or unhappy endings.

So, the reapers were made by the citadel brat, the citadel brat was made by a giant prawn. I suppose in the next series we shall find that the giant prawns were made by a wood pigeon named Roger. :)
I should't have said that.  It might give Bioware ideas.

They dug themselves deeper into the hole with that DLC.

This game has everything except for the ending that it deserved!

The Happily Ever After ending. Where the Reapers get destroyed and Shepard lives to tell the tale.

Nothing wrong with the endings as I see it, BUT a nice thing they might have done would have been giving us the choice, like choose to destroy the reapers and Shepard lives, and the others are they way they are now.
Would have liked a little longer ending to, like what happens to everyone else?

It's such a pity. After a fantastic 3 episodes of the game, as well as a wonderful experience, to end in such a way, it's just so.....so, you know, awful. You just feel left hanging and empty.

I must give up playing Bioware games, they are far to cruel.

Yes, for some the endings are pathetic. (for the millionth time) If you are that desperate go for the MEHEM ending thats what its there for.

I'm sorry I do not follow.  Maybe you are perceiving the fairy dialogue between the lines. ;)

Many characters deserve other fates than they get. But I don't think live is about what you deserve, to quote a certain quarian.

In the Lord of the rings the efforts against the insurmountable odds were little more than a distraction. The important part was what a single person did with the power of the enemy. And in the end this person succeeded only by chance. As much as I love LotR, I don't see a fundamental difference in the "the hero takes a personal effort to save the day" area.

And...hey, aren't we in the totally wrong forum for this discussion? And didn't we have this particular topic a few hundred times already, so that the title "It has to be said" is a bit hollow?

Why? The endings to ME's games have always been ridiculous, from the Mako's flight and Vigil's datafile to the baby Reaper, and there are far, far more nonsensical alternatives to the Reaper conflict out there.

I just want an ending that doesn't involve that twinkle tw@t of a kid.

Maybe even the Crucible being a massive weapon which just disrupts the Reapers shield tech so we could atleast enjoy blowing them to hell

It's not just the ending . Practically ME3 contradicts ME2.It's a huge plot hole and script change from the human reaper plot to galactic assimilation of all the advanced species.

I played ME3 single player just 2 times. If it wasn't for the MP , this game would be a disaster compared to the other 2 in the series.

I know Bioware put a lot of work into this and I respect that, but criticism has to be made.
