The series as a whole is amazing, you’ve never played a series with such a good story-to-gameplay rating. Usually it’s one or the other for games, but not in Mass Effect.

Start with Mass Effect 1 or you’ll get confused by somethings.

It’s really worth your time, trust me.

Always wanted to try mass effect out but not sure because so many people are hating on the ending is it still worth to buy?

i felt the same with the control and sythesyse endings but i was kinda pissed with the destroy as it didnt make sense *SPOILER*at the end it shows your team realising they could save you still if they go back to earth(which was awsome)but then its over.although this was better it made no sense. if the famous indocronation theory was true then sheperd must have slept through the rest of the battle,eventually being found by your team after the battle was won.but the only way the battle was won was by destroying the reapers, this could only happen if you destroyed the catalyst and the reapers,but if you really werent dreaming then you wouldnt have survived the fall back to earth,it could be possible the whole ending was the dream too but then that leads you right back at the start where you wake up and the game doesnt let you defeat harbringer

I thought the new ending was really good and I’ll admit, I got a little emotional. It made me happy that I kept my copy of the game instead of rage selling it. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Mass Effect!

Wow…after reading the comments…most gamers are a bunch of whiny fucktards. Seriously, the Mass Effect series has been nothing but stellar. Did Bioware drop the ball with the original endings for Mass Effect 3? Yes. Should the extended endings have been the ones we should have seen? Yep. Does Bioware deserve this continued outrage? Fuck no. The fact that they took additonal time and resources, AND wrangled up some of the voice actors to provide additional lines to appease the babbies shows that Bioware cares. They didnt have to do all of that, they could have just told us to fuck off, yet here we are…and it’s still not enough for these ingrates. Ever think that maybe this was more about the journey than the destination? I, for one, still stand with Bioware. I haven’t played a game of thiers I didnt like yet. Gotta love the “refuse” ending, felt like a giant middle finger to those whiners who are still complaining. You pretty much deserve it. Ingrates.

Having seen the extended endings, I can say that Bioware, while they were pretty cliche, tried to fix things with this extended cut, but in the end you can’t fix the ending without fundamentally changing it (for starters, get rid of that little glowing s**t that thinks it’s an advanced AI when its logic has so many holes you could fly Harbinger through them – that thing is literally the source of the majority of the ending’s problems). Probably the best thing about this is you can refuse Hologram Kid’s options and have an ending where you conceivably lose. But in the end they just threw some relatively average writing after some terrible writing and we still have the same major problems (I was still pointing out flaws in Hologram Kid’s argument as it was saying it on my TV). So in the end, you tried Bioware but you were kidding yourselves if you thought this would fix tthings.

Damn near everyone complained that Shepared submitted to the Reapers and that there was no refusal ending.

Well, guess what?!

You can refuse now, which results in a Game Over…… Just wow. BioWare’s little troll is going to cost them, I’m betting.

This.
At least when it was vague, we could fill in the holes ourselves to make sense of it, but now it just emphasizes how poorly the ending was planned from the start.

I dunno, don care. I could download the free dlc, but I’d have to open Origin. My interest levels are so low, I can’t bring myself to deal with EA’s shitty game manager/store/crappy-version of steam. I was disappointed in the original ending, now I just imagine how it should have ended. That’s good enough for me.

Played through all versions of the ending on both paragon MShep and Renegade FemShep. The dues ex machina (nothing to do with the game) still sticks out like a sore thumb. But that’s to be expected of an ending where right up the last minute the characters still didn’t know what their massive device was supposed to do.

I guess what I was looking for was an answer to my (and the fans’ collective) “What the F###?!” We got it. You can ask the StarChild a little more about why there are three options. Like what they’re supposed to do, how they’re supposed to work, and what will happen next.

After you made your choice you get a voice over narration about what happens to the rest of the galaxy with snapshot vignettes featuring the survivors (which is what I REALLY wanted in the first place).

All changed take place after the charge into the teleportation beam up to the citadel over London. So save just before the final mission the earth because you wont get another chance

its sad because it really looks like bioware is going towards the political ending, you know that one where freedom is squashed, because the one where we choose to be free is the one where we lose and are put in our place. Control still bothers me on a level, screams that if you follow blindly you’ll be protected and saved, Synthesis still reminds me of nazi’s and hitlers political agenda, and destroy seems to be the better option but they don’t explain the differention between AI and synthetics so your still committing genocide. Not to mention that bioware cleared up some of the legitimate questions and made it like garrus and joker would abandon shepard, not to mention my favorite thing they changed the explosion so it didn’t destroy the relays. Lets not forget that some how galactic society continues on. But its still a deus ex ending and a bad one at that.

I like many really liked the indoctrination theory, but what we is what we get. These weren’t much different, but they explained a bit, I still like the destroy ending because like Star Wars “You were the chosen one, you were meant to destroy them, not join them!”, the rejection one I would have probably liked if it were a thing if you had high enough EMS you could defeat the reapers. Speaking of the rejection one how come the Catalyst’s voice suddenly becomes Harbinger? Isn’t that something to spark that indoctrination theory every went on about again?

I liked it a lot actually. I feel all the endings provided closure.
