| I still don't see what was so terrible about ME3's ending. What were you expecting? 34 unique endings depending on what you did? The ending is pretty much how ME2's ending was, right?
How many endings did ME2 have? 2. One where shepard dies and one where he lives. Plus a series of checkboxes over which characters are alive or not. rachni queen this, wrex that, blah blah blah. The ending is the same! Hell, there's really only one ending. You can't import a save where he dies.
There's only so many ways the ME trilogy could really end. Reapers destroy everything or they don't. | |

But here's what you're missing- It's not the actual ending most people are pissed at, it's the way it was delivered, the ton of plot holes it left open and the other ton of plot holes it made... | |

| I'm downloading the Extended Cut as we speak. This is supposed to contain "closure", but I'm not getting my hopes up. | |

| No, I don't think you understand how bad the ending is.
- Quote :
- It would not surprise me if the EC essentially consisted of that; the writers responsible talking down to us like we're completely thick. I get the ending; I just think that it's utter arse that runs contrary to everything the series had set out and what I had accomplished to that point.
I think somebody did care, as I think there are a lot of great character moments and banter in there. [I do agree that I wish someone had been there to stop the writers from getting so self-indulgent at the end, where they do their level best to undo five years of goodwill in five minutes.
I can't help but feel that Bioware has misunderstood what the central appeal of the series is. They were caught napping when it came to the Deception debacle, and that should've served as a warning sign. There's also the fact that a lot of the DLC for ME2 was really substandard, with Lair of the Shadow Broker being the only noteworthy one to my mind as it focused more on character interaction than combat. The plot's never been particularly deep either and it didn't have to be, but such a jarring and entirely unwelcome tonal change in the last five minutes, with plot points seemingly invented on the spot and no real chance to affect the outcome, makes for a really nihilistic ending that is literally unbelievable when the credits roll. No matter how Bioware try to slice it, I have the feeling nothing will really change with the EC. Point and match. Stop arguing things you don't understand, Uly.

| You edited my post. Fuck you. You're a police officer who abuses his power cuz someone made him mad.
Also, that argument you posted doesn't say why it's so bad, just that it's bad. "Oh, we had choices and shit and then the ending didn't give us choices and shit" The story had an end, you finished the story. Reapers stopped! Yay! Would you like an ending where they destroy everyone and the cycle continues? That's really the only other outcome, details aside. You stop 'em or you don't. | |

| Ending is fine. Just like dark tower ending. Many complained, was fine. In red ending, shepard destroys the reapers and as a bonus kills the geth, right? Shame 'bout that EDI bitch. And he gets to live, apparently. Yay, all is well. | |

| Looked at the endings on Youtube because I'm a lazy ass who is not downloading the extended cut. And... - Spoiler:
I'm disappointed.

| Burkman, I haven't finished ME2 and I never played ME3. I didn't experience the story for myself so I can't really understand why the ending is so terrible unless I played it myself. I just think I wouldn't find it that bad, but I wasn't there to know for sure. I mentioned that before and I'd be willing to accept it. You were a prick about it though, and that makes me fight back.
I know what I did was rude, too. Saying you couldn't argue against my point. I'm sorry. I wanted you to tell me why you thought the ending was bad. I now know I shouldn't have done it by poking you with a stick like that. | |

| Wat... - Spoiler:
Soooooo apparently everyone is still able to get around without the relays? I thought it would take thousands of years to travel between relays. I teared up at the Tali holding Shepard's memorial plaque. Still didn't get my happy Shepard/Tali moment... but I suppose if he's still alive they'll find each other and he builds her a home on Rannoch ...because apparently the relays were never needed.

| You know... about the extended endings.... Serious spoiler, btw. Not a joke one. - Spoiler:
The new "refusal" ending... I like that they put in that one. One where the reapers destroy everything and the cycle continues. Not exactly a happy ending, but it's nice that it's even there, haha. Also, notice how the god child's voice was harbinger's in the end? The god child is the harbinger... AND THAT WHOLE SEQUENCE IS SHEPARD'S INDOCTRINATED MIND FIGHTING IT!
