ME3's ending have probably been more discussed than the Bible and for that reason I never created this topic. Although there is a chance that maybe I did and don't remember, but anyway, what I wanted to say is: how beautiful it looks.
I mean, the citadel already looks great and when it opens up to reveal Earth it's amazing. But the stand out is the place where you talk to that Catalyst. You're "below" Earth and you can see it from horizon to horizon and it just looks gorgeous. Not to mention the ongoing battle being fought around you. That was space at its most glorious.
Also, the fact that old guy in the epilogue is voiced by Buzz Aldrin is worth noting. That's not result of talent from the developers or hard work. That's just love and respect.
One thing that I always wanted to say about ME3's ending (a good one).

That's another reason to destroy the reapers. I want to keep Earth looking good without having any reapers around anymore

Why talking about something the original post is not about? All you're doing is making this topic turning into any other topic about the ending.

You assume that because I mention destroy that I want to make this thread about the ending. Yeah. Good luck with that.

Except for the fact that when the Citadel opens up,there's not a single ship or Reaper in the entire scene.

Only if people want to make it into one, which I don't. There's enough threads already for that.

Just look at it:
I wholeheartedly agree. I think that's why a common reaction from a lot of people is that at first they're like "I heard this ending sucked, this wasn't THAT bad" and I think it's because of how good it is visually and audiovisually, but then as soon as you think about the writing and implications and ramifications you're reminded of why it still didn't sit right with you.
I regularly listen to the Wake Up/Catalyst OST whenever I'm in the mood for some Soundtrack music and just listening to it still blows me away. It also makes me pissed because of how much potential the ending could've had if it had been clever and subversive instead of illogical and dumb.
But I also guess that to some level I hope we get the same level of atmosphere and emotional storytelling in ME4 but if that fails I hope Sam Hulick will still be there to remind me of a big reason why this IP is fantastic.

What I really think it's incredible about this scene is that we're "below" the Earth. Generally when we see it in films or other games the planet in always in the background so to speak, we see it from the "side". In ME3 though, you can spin 360 degrees and you always see our planet.
I reckon this is a scenery worth the hall of fame of sci-fi. No matter what medium.

You didn't want but you help other to do it so you would be responsible for that (if someone quote you and say "yes/ no ..."). The fact is that you opened a parenthesis when you mentioned destroy and the reapers, and usually the same people come and the parenthesis turn into the main subject. I agree there's enough threads for that, but they weren't supposed to be about the same thing.
edit : But you're not the only one who has opened a parenthesis. Likenski is trying to turn this thread into why the ending is bad with things like this : "It also makes me pissed because of how much potential the ending could've had if it had been clever and subversive instead of illogical and dumb". I have to ignore what he's said because, first, this thread isn't the place to talk about it and, second, it will be useless.

First you assumed that I was trying to turn this into a thread about the ending, which is incorrect
Second you're saying that I would be responsible for others that may post about the ending, which is incorrect. I have no control over what other people post.

That comment is starting a precedent that almost always causes it though. You don't want the thread thrown off course, but talking about destroy almost always does naturally
Luckily it hasn't happened yet

I liked it. Sam Hullick(Pretty sure it was him) really delivered it with the music. Anderson's Death scene and so forth. After the Extended Cut, of course, the ending was the best thing ever.

Easy now, it's still a piece of trash... it's just a bit more digestible kind of trash now.

How to make ME3 to seem good to you?
-Play ME2 as femShep then romance Thane.When -kabom- moment comes in ME3 and Thane ends RIP and especially if you played Citadel DLC as well and saw message Thane left you,then it will be all easier to you to make your Shepard RIP as well.
or...
This works as well

The music for the ending is absolutely stunning. I love putting the Extended Cut soundtrack on.

I agree, but that's because some people at least did some damned good work on it (sound, music, visuals - even some writing since the last scene with Anderson was great) and deserve respect for that.Easy now, it's still a piece of trash... it's just a bit more digestible kind of trash now.

Of course, I've never heard anyone say anything negative about Anderson's final scene. Many aknowledge it as a perfect character-writing moment and I respect Mac Walters and the cinematics team as well as Sam Hulick for putting that scene toghether so well, but it was always the events that followed that people were displeased with... but yeah, even still the rest still sounds and looks quite amazing. I just wish the writing didn't fall off a cliff after Anderson's goodbye.

Because I think its all an illusion that is part of a 'meta story' that encompasses most/all of Bioware's original IP games (or at least ME/DA), I can just sit back and not have any problem with ME3's ending, at least sometimes.
Rise.
In terms of audio and visuals, there's very appealing and interesting stuff happening there.
