I don't know the ending, but I honestly am more interested in Brad finishing the game than I am to actually play it.

They should livestream Brad experiencing the ending just to have his reaction on film.

Such a tease. If Brad somehow guesses that out of left field ending I would be impressed.

It's the same thing that Dave wrote in the GOTY podcast envelope way back.

Yeah, Brad has no idea, but it'll be entertaining to see what he wrote down, and how wrong he'll be.

Think about this though: what if Brad's idea for the terrible ending is better than the actual ending!

I don't think there is any way Brad could of guessed the ending, so I wonder what he came up with that he dislikes so much.

You can't really condense what's wrong with the ending into one sentence so he's probably wrong.

He should put the envelope up to his head before opening it and revealing his guess.

EDIT 2: BRAD, STOP READING HERE!

Some people posted joke endings that might tip you off. We want you to go in completely untarnished. All you need to know is that everyone is begging you to livestream your reaction + envelop opening. GB crew will confirm. /edit

From the beginning, you know the end.

Also has Brad really managed to stay unspoiled during the ME3 ending outrage? That's pretty impressive.

EDIT: @Kohlstream said:

Oh Brad, you must. MUST.

Opportunities for material of this order are very rare, you guys NEED to get on this. I would subscribe for this.

@drumpsycho89: I can understand if they wanted more info on the choices they made.... But I liked the ending anyways. I'm ok with things like the krogan/turian stuff being left open.

Star Child made sense to me

The dream sequences weren't so hot though

my big issue with the ending is that you HAD to play the multiplayer (which in a mass effect is something i don't want to do) to get your galactic readiness up enough to get the ending where shepherd lives. i did EVERYTHING in that game and my readiness still wasn't high enough because i never played the multiplayer. that was my issue, i spent hundreds of hours with that shepherd and i wanted her to live so she could continue to kick ass.

I'm just now playing it for the first time, too. Picked up the Wii U version. I'm only like 6 hours in, though, so I might not be ready by the time Brad finishes the game.

Man I've got know what Brad wrote. There's no way it could even be close, right? RIGHT?! I don't remember anything even remotely foreshadowing the actual ending. I don't even think I saw anything during the game that foreshadowed ANY ending because I know I reached the ending without any clue or theory.
