Oh come on, happy endings are for fairy tales... now I'm not saying the ME3 endings were great, the first ones really made me rage like hell, but the later-introduced Refusal Ending was all I had ever wished for.


Nice work, though.

i like different endings, but it usually the story itself dictates what ending you will expect. So if the story is rather tragic and has a lot of drama, you can accept the bad ending in all its glory - character deaths and so on, and be satisfied with it.
But in a case of ME all the lines tell you : we'll gonna make it, just a couple more things to accomplish, a bit of sacrifice, and we will win"
Yes, it's just my point of view (i don't want to start an argument) but i think that the plot needs to have more deep background story - to make the reaper-prothean-all-that-happen-50k-years-ago motivation more clear during the whole game, giving it to the player bit by bit to hook them up in a story, and make you wait with anticipation for the climax, and not in a way: "we'll gonna die or we'll gonna turn into something random stuff")

thank you!
So a bit of explanation why i was disappointed with the ending. It's not about "all of them dying" it's about a lack of plot.

Well, we had all been disappointed at first, no arguing there .D

Hm... I can see your point. Quite frankly, at first, I always rush through the game, desperate to hear the whole story, and only later I make the other, "perfect" gameplay - so, when I played ME3 for the first time, the Quarian fleet got shot to sh...pieces, Miranda died, so did Thane, Grunt, who sacrificed himself... well, pretty much everyone. Sure, I didn't screw EVERYTHING up, but the story had much more of a tragic feeling than the perfect gameplay that wouldn't prepare a man for tragic ending... and that, to be honest, I found incredibly dull.

But still, the endings of ME3 aren't necessarily tragic (though the "control the reapers" seems like a game over to me).
Sure, Shepard died, but he did so in order to save the many - what is tragic about that? It's a noble end to a brilliant character (or however you played him ).
It was... decent.

I don't want to start an arugment, either, but I will oppose you - I believe that even putting Javik into the game was a mistake.
The Reapers were good as they were - mysterious, and player could never be sure whether he even COULD stop them (and throughout the whole series, I prayed I couldn't, because that would be a real an hollywood-free story, a mature story c: ).
It's like with Star Wars - you had this amazing series with lot of mystery and secrets, things to fantasy and ponder about, and then the sequels killed it all.
Or Firefly, if you want, one of the best sci-fi series of all times, if not the best one.. and then you get the movie where they explain the Reavers, and they cease being interesting.

I was quite content with the second ending because -as said- I was hoping that the developers would have the guts to not let the player win, not in full scale.
I can understand, though, that the other endings might have been quite unsatisfying... not because Shepard died, I really can't see problem with that, but they sure as hell lacked any decent sense. Deus ex machina, mostly.

...yeah, the more I think about it, it simply doesn't add up with the unforgettable moments of Mordin's sacrifice or the last moments of the Protheans (oh, that's a nice example of the mystery-thingy! Protheans were just so mysterious, and I loved them. And when the second game ended, I was terrified, it had GIANT impact on me that the last of the Protheans had actually been FREE for the last few moments of his life... that was GREAT move.

And then they put here Javik, and it's all ruined. That's what I have in mind)

Yes, i agree with you about Javik. It was strange and killed a lot of intrigue about the race.
You described almost what i was trying to say, with examples of firefly. All i mean that the ending is better then you have clues about it during the plot.
I think about it like kind of detective( harry potter may be a good example of a story development with mysteries and logical explaining in the end)
i think i should rewatch the endings because i coulld miss something i didn't see.

I agree, a positive ending should have been an option at the very least.

What got me the most though was the Commander "lives" scene. It could have been so much more. :C

But that's where amazing fan creations and artwork like this comes in, not to mention what we create ourselves to fit the adventure we played.

It would have been great if this were one of the endings. One where Shepard saves the galaxy and lives (properly lives). Then like this they go to a bar or a club or something and all of Shepard's squadmates and friends are there and they just party Or if Shepard did die I would have liked to have seen a huge military funeral with all of the surviving squad and crew members from all the ME games there and stuff. Great picture
