God... this game, I remember playing Me2 for a week straight beating it 100% and getting the outcome I wanted. Now its time to continue the obsession with Me3...

3 of my friends beat it and are extreamly pissed about it... not gonna buy it

I have, It is the worst ending in video game history (probbably, i've not known of one worse). As you can see below, over 40'000 people agree.

Endings suck, we want a brighter one.

Endings are fine, we just want the Normandy strand on Earth or somewhere near Shepard.

When did stories that end happily become the literary (or cinematic) equivalent of drinking wine from a box? There are many examples of movies or books with their endings changed or reworked for an American audience to make them more upbeat, three that spring to mind are the movies Brazil and Army of Darkness (which also had one of the best lines changed!) and the novel Down to a Sunless Sea by David Graham (having only read the downbeat ending I'm not sure how it could be reworked to be more cheerful without losing the 'twist' ending) but there are plenty more examples. It is very difficult to find any movie of I Am Legend with the correct ending, and I really wanted to see it. The book was dark and a shocker and hard to read but I loved everything it made me feel. Sometimes it is more important to have a complete ending than a happy ending, and I feel in our never-ending quest for happy endings, we lose sight of that sometimes.

Only over-protected teenagers (and people who never had to grow up) enjoy wading in black sorrow. Most people see tragedy in their real lives, and they don't need to watch it or read it too.

People are pissed because its the final game and it doesn't have a happy ending. I am too familiar with satire and old books to care. The game was great; and it all makes sense.

People aren't necessarily upset with the "sorrow" of the ending itself, it is just the way that it is presented and the lack of your choices having any matter in the final outcome.

If BioWare wanted to, Shepard could have been killed off and Earth could have fallen. And I would have been fine with that - as long as it was the direct outcome of my decisions and what I have done up to that point for the last five years of the Mass Effect series.

[Carpe Vexillum]

You are correct on the lack of choice being upsetting.

I guess its just the way the hard working developers wanted to end their story? lol

GAh I just beat it, and idk what to feel.

I need a beer.
