And yeah I think someone could pull it off you'd probably have to make it more clear that more is still to come though. it gets people talking thats for sure

@LordXavierBritish

I've read alot of your posts about ME3. I agreed with alot of what you've said for awhile. I hate the ending just as much as anyone but honestly your just a cynical asshole. I don't think the indoctrination theory is true. I don't think the alleged DLC "The Truth" that finishes the game is real. But damn if I'm not hoping for it. And honestly I'm giving them a chance, they could pull it off. I love Bioware, not saying Im a Biodrone because I'll gladly call them out on something i don't agree with see my previous posts about the ending, and im rooting for them to come out with a killer finish to the series. Hell if they did it i wouldnt even be mad, id forgive this whole ending situation cause its something they wanted to try and as long as its free im fine with it. Even if its five dollars, was ME3 worth $75? Hell yeah. Is EA a group of cheap assholes? Obviously. Would I be mad I had to pay for javik and the ending? Furious. But ME in my mind greatest video game series of all time if it came out with a great ending, so i can forgive them for being cheap and had a horrible idea about ending the series (if the ending is great my wording may even change to "masters of suspense") because they gave us the ME series. But as it is I dont think that will be the case. As it is its a great series completely tarnished by a shitfuck of an ending and probably wont be buying bioware products anytime soon

I was thinking that every single time it happened. Clearly the biggest problem though, not the ending

Bioware has three options here

They can come out publicly and say 'we understand some of our fans may be upset but we are concluded the series this way so get over it.' I can respect this, though i may not agree. At least they acknowledge the fans and man up to the ending and just conclude how they want to. Though I dont know how ANYONE would have thought that was a good idea. Kind of like a renegade choice.

They can come out publicly and say 'we understand some of our fans are upset with this ending and we fucked up' they then proceed to offer either free or cheap DLC to fix it. Not some shitty two minute DLC either, I want the ending completely changed and way more closure. This I can say hey theyre listening and they care, theres still hope for bioware. Hey for all this whining about the ending, with all the changing of writers something like this had the possibility of happening if there was any carelessness. I would be happy with this. Kind of like a paragon choice.

Finally they can not address the problem and continue to be content with the profit made on the initial sales. Then there is no hope for this company. This is like the bullshit green option. Honestly though who the hell though anyone would want to combine synthetics with organics in the end? Why is this the "final stage of the cycle" like its suppose to be the best ending? As completely of a shitfuck this ending is, the synthesis option makes it almost laughable

I dont necessarily hate the idea of someone tat controls the reapers. Its the way hes introduced, out of nowhere, seemingly a god like creature. Dont get me wrong I still hate all the endings for reasons stated in this post but what if when speaking to the porothean beacon he told you of the greater power, or the plans of the crucible included this. Even though I don't want to reward bioware for messing up the ending if they do come out with dlc with an alternate ending I have to buy it. I simply cannot accept this ending to the what I believe to be the greatest game series of all time, bar none, minus the final ten minutes of gameplay. I actually do like convo with illusive man and anderson

To be honest I, and i think alot of people as well, generally were positive shep would save the day, destroy the reapers, and everything would be right in the universe. The thing is everyone was okay with that and the game would have been a success and people were still going to buy it. Mass effect isnt about the end its how you get there and some decisions u make may affect the ending. When you played ME1 you knew by the end you were going to stop Saren and the Geth and possibly Sovereign a couple missions into it. You knew two missions into ME2 you were going to defeat the collectors. The question was how and the different relationships and decisions along the way. The fact that bioware strayed from this formula of success really makes me question who's running the show over there. They tried to make mass effect have deep meaning and a terrific twist to the plot, but thats not why ME1 and ME2 were successful and thats why people are soo disappointed in the ending. To be perfectly honest Bioware should apologize. And (wishful thinking) they should come out with DLC that offers an alternative ending or something because the series feels unfulfilled for me and so many others

the relays are destroyed in every scenario

the ending was bullshit no matter how you try to explain it. there was no need for that plot twist. shepherd shouldnt of had to condemn the galaxy to a fallout in any every scenario. 5 years of greatness ruined by 5 mins of gameplay. that is the sad truth

The ending was awful. Completely in love with the Mass Effect series. Beat ME1 and ME2 3 times each. I won't be beating this one again. All the alliances you created, all the relationships with different characters, the different decisions you made meant shit. I don't know whether Bioware was just incapable of delivering the ending they promised cause of time or something but it was a complete let down to anyone who played. Everything they promised they through out the window. The game was actually great until you went up on the platform to god knows where. Sure there was things that you could point out that makes it seem like they were rushing the product but the idea was sound, turn a once hostile galaxy into one cohesive unit along with the help of all the previous cycle organic species in a big giant mega weapon to defeat an enemy that could be slowed but not defeated without the weapon. Then you have the illusive man who has been indoctrinated for a good amount of time, i dont know if it ever pinpoints when, and hes fighting against you as well and the idea oh Kei Lang? of beings shepherds match who was suppose to be better than shepherd at 'getting the job done' was a great side story(even if KL was a little corny at times). This all could have been improved but it worked and there wasnt much more you could ask for. Then that goddamn ending with the "countless" number of choices. (countless if ur under the age of two)

I ended up choosing the what would appear to be renegade option by destroying all synthetics because i was fed up with this synthetics cant cooperate with organics crap that my shepherd had fought against the whole time so they deserved to die. I dont think that the boy was a magical or godlike form. I think he was the mobile platform of a synthetic because he refers to the reapers and all synthetics as "us". Im just trying to piece the unknown together but it seems like he was actually a massive AI created by the most advanced civilization ever because they had endless time to become that advanced. The reapers in a much less advanced form presumably worked for this AI for whatever the suppose goal of it was (war machine, peacekeeping, transport, whatever). Then like what happened with the geth and quarian the AI rebelled. But unlike the geth the AI destroyed its creator (geth allowed quarians to escape). So since this AI had no other experience it presumed all synthetics will try to rule their creators, because it is blind to other alternatives. So it re purposed the reapers to wipe out all organic life advanced enough to make AIs so the other organics can live. But theres holes in that theory, it would have seen the geth and their peace with the quarians. But then you could say the only thing separating the geth from taking over is time so i dont know.

This is why it sucks too many questions. Also although i guess I dont mind shepherd dying the way he goes out leaving behind his everyone in a complete fallout of technology (how about a fallout: mass effect lulz). What did he actually accomplish then? Not much so many will die. Any technology left working will breakdown within a hundred years because people won't have the resources, because theyre almost isolated, to keep them working. Certain species will die out on some planets because not the correct food, etc.. Ontop of this slap in the face bioware didn't even give us different endings. You made the color change one + fucking robot disappear??? God damn. All i wanted was for my shepherd to settle down have some blue babies with liara, have garrus be his best man maybe and all that good stuff. Think about it too the DLC could have been crazy, Bioware would make a ton of money. If shepherd lives and lets say the game ends with IM killing himself then you turn on the weapon and byebye reapers there would be so much to be done. If you cured the genophage you could work on keeping the krogan pop in check. Help the salarians not be such assholes. Or help with rebuilding Thessia. They could have even incorporated the reaper control kid into as well. Imagine shep going up there and this kid is trying to stop him, you learn those dreams are this reaper controller has been using to get to shepherds head trying to create sympathy. So the reaper controller uses this form in their encounter and shep has to walk get to the controls while this controller is trying to indoctrinate him or just simply tries to convince him that theyre right and he's wrong. So you have the option of killing the demon child and the reapers just collapse when he dies (possibly along with all other synthetics), you can try to control the reapers, or you can leave the cycle as it is.

My rant is done now. And just for shits and giggles

Bioware, no

You guys do fucking know you can save Tali and create peace between the geth and quarians??? The ending is awful and ill post about it later but im reading through this on page 6 and some of you really dont know what youre talking about
