SPOILERISH – BUT NO ACTUAL SPOILERS

Well, I agree to some extent. I did feel like I had gone through hell to unite all those factions against the Reapers, but never found out what happened after the fight. It felt even more awkward to just be dropped back into my previous save after beating the game. However, my guess is that Bioware could not handle making an ending too diversified by all the choices we made thus far. So they chose to make a split path ending for us to decide. It was kind of a Deus Ex: HR ending type, which made me kind of upset. However, being able to see Tali’s face on a horribly pixilated picture was well worth the 60 bucks alone… :D

Mass effect 3 ending would have been complete in my eyes if instead of that terrible ending, they just kept shepard sitting there looking at space and seeing the reapers being destroyed, then to end the story they’d share some knowledge about major people, groups and planets about what happened to them after everything turned out.

*SPOILERS*

Hell, I’ll admit I didn’t want him to die, but I’ve dealt with characters I like dying before, I could do it again…. well not really, my main issue was that he just got screwed over in ways that don’t even make sense. All that time and effort (in character sense, not mine :P) of gathering forces, shutting down Cerberus, creating peace between all races… and regardless of what Shepard wanted or believed, he willingly beds over and takes a fucking because the machine they guilt only gives him 3 choices that’ll kill him, all having some weird problem in the process… I mean don’t say Up yours to the kid and go rummage around the citadel for another way to shut down the reapers giving the force you’ve built up a better chance to destroy them and go live with *insert romance partner here* and *insert action they wanted to do here* with them, noooooooo, go against the whole built up aspect of free will and make a decision that just came right the fuck out of nowhere that’ll kill you…

That’s my only issue really, that last 5 minutes just came right out of nowhere, for no reason, with some stupid last minute decisions… it’d actually make far more sense for a silly, but happy fairytale ending. Would give all the crap you’ve done a reason to even be there…

ME3 in a nutshell;

Still fun as hell to play. Every ending is basically a “kill everyone” ending. In the ME2 DLC “The Arrival,” you destroy a relay which in turn destroys most of the planets in the area. You’ve sent your force to Earth, now your “good” ending is to destroy the relays. You’ve just fucked them..

The ending is really horrible. You work so hard and in the end they basically say “Okay well that was all pointless! Now make a choice, all of which end up doing the same exact thing in almost the same exact way!”

I personally was fully expecting a bittersweet ending (as most people did). I even expected Shepherd (SPOILER) to die, hell kinda of even wanted it. I had a big problem that all the decisions that you made in the previous games didn’t matter at all, that they pulled the Guardian character right out of their ass, and there really is only one ending just with three different colors. It was lazy storytelling at best and completely out of place for the ME universe.

Honestly the ending was bittersweet, but that was kind of the point. Honestly, it just seems like a lot of people are acting butt hurt because they didn’t get their perfect fairytale ending where everything is nice, and perfect. It made sense based on what was happening in the story, and I found it to be pretty fitting.

Its a damn shame Lawrence. Polls on the Bioware Social Network reveal 96% of fans absolutely hated the endings. I’m definitely entrenched in that number. Shit, I’ve written about five essays in the past two days about how bad it was. I haven’t written this much since college.

Everyone’s hating on the ending of ME3 it seems. Makes me scared to keep playing…

Don’t waste your time Brian. The game is absolutely fantastic and one of the greatest pieces of videogame art…right up until the final five minutes which ruined the entire franchise for me.
