I'll try and keep this as short as possible.

I still haven't managed to get over that ending.
I don't think i have ever played a game where I'm just looking at my television for a good half an hour deciding which of the three stupid and basically identical options I'm going to pick.

I'm not mad that there wasn't an option to save the world and live happily ever after, bedding Kaiden every night and becoming some war hero who gets free drinks all night at Aria T'Loak's new club on Omega.

But in my opinion the three opinions made the last two games a waste of time. I think the explanation from that little boy was "this was going to happen anyway"...ok great so now can you explain how anything i did if the last two games actually meant something?
I guess i just wanted some option that made me feel like i had achieved something good.

Then i find that it doesn't really matter what option you pick because every ending is the frickin same. The mass replays all blow up no matter what you pick, and i'm sure the last ME2 DLC mentioned that if mass replays are destroyed it would resemble an atomic blast or something. So did everyone die? I shouldnt be left asking questions at the end of a trilogy Bioware!

The way i played ME3, it was all about Shepard bringing together the different races, making them finally get along, making life better on there homelands so that they can look forward to future.
But seeing as the mass replays are all destroyed and a whole bunch of people are stranded on earth, i guess that was all kind of pointless.

I ended up picking the destroy option, mainly because the other two sounded terrible and i wanted more information explain exactly what they meant. I guessing this was the renegade option but for me it sounded better than controlling the reapers.
By picking the destroy option that meant the Geth and EDI would be killed and also meaning that i had just wasted hours of the game helping the Geth gain free will, and somehow finally making them get a long with the Quarians.
Why did that little boy want all Synthetics killed anyway? Because the said they would get out of control and kill everyone? Ermmm hello douchbag i've just spent hours proving that there not going to do that with the whole Geth/Legion story line.

I at least wanted to know how the option i picked effected the universe but we got nothing, just Joker, Kaiden and co leaving the space ship with happy faces, not caring/knowing that i have just died..and i thought they where my friends.

What annoys me most is that the game is really frickin good but i forget about it because when i think of ME3 my thoughts instantly go to that ending.

I'm actually going to stop here because long posts don't get read Though i do have much more to say on the matter and possibly when i have more time to reflect i'll be able to see the positive.

I find this fascinating. I also read the article about why the ending sucks so much.
That's Karma babes.

Well first of all what an amazing game loved every minute of it...... until the last 20 minutes

What on Earth, i actually cant express how i feel about it without inventing new words.

Aside from the fact it contradicts all the gameplay elements of the series so far it is just soooooooo inconclusive. No closure on what happens to anyone at all?

Only hope is for the one employee at bioware who still has his marbles makes some dlc ending

I have a feeling that's exactly what they'll do...and they'll make us pay for it.

Which or the "three endings" did you pick?

[Jonnycondom]

I'm not paying extra money for a whole new ending, that idea can frankly screw itself. That day would be a whole new low for the gaming industry.

[Kelly-Ann-xxx]

I wouldn't pay either.To be honest i think bioware will stick to there guns and not make any changes.

I remember while i was playing i thought the ending was going to be something along the lines of Shepard finding out that Cerberus had brought her back to life using some kind of reaper technology and therefore making her/him half reaper etc etc.

I'm just going to pretend the whole thing was a dream.

[Konfusion88]

Kelly-Ann for what it was worth i chose the sythesis ending, but lets all 3 are the same thing with different coloured explosions

And yeah Jonny i agree but unfortunately i would still pay for it just to get some real closer on what has otherwise been a great series, I cant wait till Mikes completes it i think he may actually explode

Just thinking what they could do is a fallout 3 type thing where they make a dlc which allows you to play past the ending, in the way that broken steel did

I can't wait to see Mikes try defend the ending because you knows he will nobody criticises his baby.

I was so gutted Wrex got killed off so abruptly in the game

[Tiuri]

all 3 are the same thing with different coloured explosions

Found this online:

[Jonnycondom]

Apparently somebody tweeted Bioware asking them to sort out an option for colourblind people, they said yeah sure we will look into it, to which the person replied, good cause I'm only seeing one ending

[Konfusion88]

Jonny how did Wrex die, he survived in mine, didnt know he could die lol, what tore me up was the way Mordin died that was awesome but very sad

[Kelly-Ann-xxx]

I was so gutted Wrex got killed off so abruptly in the game

I didnt have Wrex, apparently he died in my ME1 playthrough, but im pretty sure he didn't.

How did your Wrex die because the character that takes Wrexs place in my game survived .

[Jonnycondom]

Actually maybe it wasn't Wrex, just near the end when everything starts to explode and what not, I noticed a krogan getting killed and I just assumed it was Wrex.

Now I'm not so sure

[Jonnycondom]

Okay I've looked it up on Wikipedia, and Wrex can die, just not at the point I mentioned. It's rather long and I'm on my phone here so I can't be bothered to type it all out. He definitely survived in my game though.

It's all in there

I'm just going to pretend the whole thing was a dream.

That's what I did with Legacy of Kain Defiance.
Now that what a bad ending to a 2 console and multiple series spanning franchise. You guys had a lucky escape.

The Crying Game ending

[Tiuri]

Kelly-Ann for what it was worth i chose the sythesis ending

Me too, but all the complaints and protest articles are right. The ending sucks. Not just because of the three limited choices you get but the whole Illusive Man coming out of nowhere, Joker and the Normandy thing on a jungle planet and the epilogue with grandpa talking to his grandson about The Shepard

I will be joining the retake Mass effect movement

Read this on gamesradar:

None of the romance scenes matter anymore, since the ending fucks you over better than any of your crew ever could

[mkdfan]

The game is awesome apart from one thing that bugged me, the the countless "Defend" or "Survive" parts.
I find it's a cheap way to extend game play.
Shepherd's psychopath smile was kinda odd too. Just dodgy animation I guess.

I personally don't mind the ending, if the makers want that to be the ending we see then we should accept it.

I decided to do my insanity run as a renegade son of a bitch.
I felt SOOOO guilty when I killed Mordin, I wanted to give him a cuddle and say sorry lol!
Then I killed Legion, let Samara die & killed her daughter, let Miranda die, then I killed Wrex... soooo much guilt!

I saved Ashley in ME1 so I don't have Kaiden to sex up, I'll have to make a new character and make new changes next time.
I'll settle with sexing Cortez's fine ass.

I loved the citadel bits, I would totally live there if it was real.

The Prothean character is such a negative nancy, he did my nut in.

I wish we saw Tali's face, is there a possibility we can or was the view from the back all we get?

If I was Jessica Chobot I would be pissed at how big they made Diana's cheeks.

I was glad we were able to assault the reporter again, her attempt to dodge was hilarious!

All in all I enjoyed the game and I look forward to the DLC.
