Don't look if you don't want to know. I've reached ME 3 ending... All the options make me sacrifice myself in order to bring peace. It's not fair that I can't choose to be with the one I love, so I chose to let the Reapers kill everyone. FUUUUUU ME3 ending!!!!!!

LOL. I'm gonna choose another ending... I think I'll choose the one that my consciousness still lives, so that I can see my beautiful Tali'Zorah.

I've just watched the Destroy ending and at the end Shepard is alive!!!! I feel sorry for EDI and the geth but this is the only way I can be with Tali!!!! I wouldn't worry too much about the future civilizations developing synthetics again because they only attack in self defense, as Legion says. The Council already had a law against developing AIs so that's an example of synthetic development control. However to keep control over who develops synthetics will be difficult since the mass relays are destroyed. Repairing the mass relays could take years and chaos in the galaxy can develop faster without means to instant travel. At least it'll keep the krogan from overpopulating the galaxy lol. And I won't be able to travel to Rannoch with my Tali.
(I didn't like the Synthesis ending. Way too ideal and crazy)

Wasn't a free DLC released prolonging the ending or something like that? I don't know if that's what you're talking about, but I'm just saying so you don't miss it.

Yeah it adds 2 more endings I think and more cutscenes, but nothing like me with Tali happy forever.

Yes there was free DLC prolonging the endings but they only answered the little questions in the ending itself rather then actually make the endings as they were promised were going to be in the beginning of the series.
Honestly the Synthetic ending is the worst. Though it lets everyone live, it's entirely unexplanatory how the heck Synthetics and organics manage to become one. Just magically a green light extends across the galaxy and bam! Synthetics and organics are merged together which is dumb and entirely lazy work.
I always choose the Destroy ending because that is what the whole purpose that started this series and the reapers have pissed me off. They don't deserve to live. But I hate that ending because it destroys all other synthetics as well which they could of done something like they did with how Shepard lives. Make it so if you get like 10,000 units to help in the final battle they live. I don't know how they would live but they live. Then I wouldn't feel such an a-hole for killing the geth and EDI at the end.
The Control Ending really is the only ending that may be flawless excet that though Shepard's consious is still alive, he is technically a reaper (or that stupid kid thing whatever). Eventually I see that Shepard would loose whatever little humanity in his consious and the whole process would begin again with destroying all advance civilizations.
Basically I hate all the endings. They can't just make one were everyone lives and Shepard gets to stay with Tali (Yeah I have my Shepard with Tali as well).
I also hate that your choices from the first two games basically serve no purpose in the ending like Bioware said they would. Only choices that matter are those in the ME3 and all othes are worthless. The choices in the other two games only affect certain story elements that don't even take that much effect for the ending. Bioware really messed up ME3. The game itself was fun but the ending ruined everything for the game to me.

Totally agree with you with everything you said. The choices are reduced to war assets (ie. I saved the rachni queen in 1 and again in 3), but I didn't see them at the ending. Thanks Bioware I wasted my time lol.

Exactly. All they did with the choices in ME1 and ME2 were make them war assets for ME3 which is dumb and again lazy. They could of done so much with them but they decided to waste it all on that idea.

What I really hated the most about the ending was really the attitude behind it. Sure it meant I couldn't be with my favorite character (tali), but it just felt like a middle finger to the player. They spend an entire trilogy setting you up as the most incredible soldier to ever live (at least in this cycle, if you consider the reapers and previous galaxy "generations") and then the end is basically "oh, you want to save the galaxy? Oh you are amazing? good for you. You save the galaxy, now choose an unfulfilling death."
It was just a disgusting way of making sure that nobody ever asked for a continuation of this story arc or this character. Now everything HAS to be a spin off in one way or another. That bothers me because it feels t\like that was the intent behind this ending.
The ending, the fetch quests, and the "online pass" are my only criticisms of the game though.
Unfortunately, I don't really feel like I can replay the series if that ending is all I have to look forward to. Thanks for the journey bioware, but the end I found has made it feel like it isn't worth repeating.

Well I'm pretty sure they were going to be done with Shepard no matter what with ME3, even if it had been some really incredible awesome mindblowing ending.
But yeah it sucks how they basically decide to kill Shepard in all the endings (well except the Destroy ending where you can see Shepard, supposedly breathing). Sure you can argue well that makes the ending more emotional but still isn't that rather dumb when you think about it? Plenty of games have done it, it's nothing new yet they kind of acted like it was.
I really like how AngryJoeShow put it into the indepth analysis of the extended ending. There should of been an ending where when you defy the cataylst child and if you have enough war units (let's say like over 10,000 or some other kind of hard high number), then some sort of cutscene ensues where it shows one last effort fighting against the reapers, and actually winning. Then having Shepard in the end with whoever you decided to be in a relationship with (which majority here seems to be Tali. XD).

I always thought that shepard would have died in the destroy ending, because of the explosion of the reactor he shoots, and of the citadel afterwards, but I never saw the extended version so I may be wrong.

If you have enough War Units (I believe you need at least 3100 after they added the extended ending. Before I can't remember how many war units you needed but you needed to of at least transfered one multiplayer character into the single player for war units. You don't after they made the extended cut).
But anyways, at the end of the destroy ending, if you've met the requirements, it ends normally how it did at the end of the game where it shows Shepard's N7 chest plate, but before it cuts black, the chest raises up and you hear a gasp for air. So he can be alive in the destroy ending, even though the ending sucks because you kill all the Geth and EDI (I liked the Geth and it seemed such a dumb waste to ultimately destroy them in the destroy ending).

I actually liked the endings. :face:
If you're looking for me,I already ran away :arrow:
*cough*
I mean,expecting a "Everyone is happy YAY!!!" ending when you need to sacrifice something/someone to stop badass Reapers SHOOPDAWHOOP-ing at everyone like a baws,when Sheperd just saved the whole galaxy from a "reset",it seems pretty idealistic to me.
While the player wants a better reward for saving everyone's stupid @ss who loves to shoot at each other,I believe the endings are rewards enough. I/Shepard sacrificed himself/Reapers to save the Universe,that's pretty "damn awesome".
And I think sacrifice are kinda necessary when you face a way greater enemy. They kinda emphasized on that.

Yeah but the endings are still pretty terrible. Dispite Synthesis being the so called "Best Good Ending" majority of fans agree that it's dumb how magically Shepard sacrifices himself and all Organics and Synthetics merge. It makes no utter sense. Plus it actually does go against a lot of what the entire series has done. Really should you force everyone to advance when they may not wish to? Morally it isn't right at all.
So then we have Control and Destroy. Control, might seem good but really, once the Shepard Reaper or Catalyst (whichever he became) looses the little humanity that it has left from the real Shepard, it's just going to send the Reapers back and kill everyone. Then the Destroy Ending, to me the best ending, makes you look like an *** by killing the Geth (if you made peace with them) and EDI. Could of done better.
They could of done so many things at the end and promised a lot of things for the ending that they didn't come through with. Seriously, Bioware stated even that they were not going to pull this type of ending on its players but they did. Basically all the endings are is: Ending A, Ending B, Ending C, and Ending D. Your choices in the past games don't matter at all besides for War Units which you can gather enough in the single player that it wouldn't matter if you didn't play the first two games, besides the fact that you are missing part of the story. The only big reason I can see someone wanting to play ME2 after playing ME3, is that the only way to get into a relationship with Tali is that you need to of at least started it in ME2 (though by now that could of changed by a patch). None of your past choices matter.In the end all I have to do is choose A, B, C, or D.
Also yeah there should be some emotional ending with Shepard sacrificing himself but come on, there should of been an extremely good ending, that is hard to even get but is rewarding to the player. I mean I feel like there was no freaking point of even having a relationship in the game after seeing the ending. Why be an *** and get involved with someone intementaly when you are just going to die in the end and leave them hard broken and in grief. Might as well just let Tali and Garrus hook up and let them be happy.
EIther way, majority of fans hate the endings, just being honest. I wish the Indoctornization Theory was real. That was a way better idea for the ending then what Bioware gave us.

....and then suddenly EA ran into the bank cackling madly at the amount of cash they had just fleeced from the Mass Effect fanbase.
Good job gaming industry, we totally didn't see this coming.

Goddamn, Tali was my romance too, and even though in my game Shepard survived, the ending just did'nt feel up to scratch at all. In fact, I made a thread very similar to this not too long ago.
