i think the fans should just except that the ending is the developers decision, they have put the work in and paid the people to make it how they wanted the story to be told. i'm sure there are a number of games where the ending has not been to the player's liking but that is how the story was supposed be told.......................sudeki300

Some of you guys make a good point - it's up to the developer to convey a story, the fact that you don't like it doesn't mean that a developer should release DLC altering it much like you don't write to a film director that you've seen movie A last wednesday and demand him/her to re-take the ending by next friday or else you're going to ask for a refund. That is the story. That's how it ends. Deal with it.

As much as i want to respect the developer on how they have done the ending, there just something that doesn't feel right about it. I'm a big fan of the Mass Effect series, I want all the choices I have made throughout the 3 games mattered and I know Bioware can do better than this. I'm excited for Biowares announcement'this April regarding ME3. I just wish there's a chance the shepards indoctrination theory could be true http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZOyeFvnhiI&feature=youtu.be

Oh my various Jesuses.

It's a VIDEOGAME. Why are people so worked up over the ending? I, as well as others, have played PLENTY of games where we felt endings were just unsatisfactory, but you don't see us literally bitching about it to the point where it's getting CHANGED IN AN UPDATE. So the series is over, and yeah, questions were left unanswered (? Never played ME), but it's certainly not the first to do so, and in the end, because it's a game, you find something else to play.

And the fact folks are spending even MORE money, HUNDREDS of dollars worth, for this single ending of a game.......... Is somewhere between absolutely stupid and just outright mental, and gaming is a way of life for me. While it is a nice gesture for fans to actually show they care, do the developers THEMSELVES really care? Possibly, since they ARE making a new ending, but I'd say that's just a way to cover their asses from all that hot criticism, and they have your money either way.

Should have sent hamburgers. (I know she wasn't part of the ME writing staff, but I would find that hilarious)

I for one liked the ME3 endings. Indoctrination theory is.. interesting.

As much I love this, this is a bit much considering they have pretty much relented that the ending suck and that they should do something about it (and likely are).

Then again with the funds raised through the ceased Retake Mass Effect fundraiser, I guess Cupcakes is a pretty humorous way to drive their message home.

I think Bioware should hire Stephanie Meyer. she'll do a much better job than these stuck up fucks did.

and yes, I know she wrote the Twilight series.
No worries, the reapers would just glow in the nothingness of space when they happen to come close to a star (sunlight). Kinda easy for Shepard to find them. Also all them teenage girls will be running wild while playing the new ME :creep:

You must mean Shepward, easy mistake to make.

Haha, that's great.

Even if they do change the ending, would you have to play through the entire last game again to get to it (Never played Mass Effect).
Nah, honestly you would probably understand the current ending more if you hadn't played the series before or were high, as it is quite surreal.
I was asking if you would have to play through the entire game again to get to the new ending, if one was made.

I really want to see this ending now... I don't see how it could be THAT bad. My brother tried explaining it to me, but like I said, never played Mass Effect.

I'll YouTube it probably.
Oh, no you won't because when you complete the game and load your save you are back on the bit just before the final mission.

Come on guys, stop complaining about the ending!
It's a great game and has a great story. So what if the ending was a bit disappointing and I know there are some plotholes.
But overal can't you say you enjoyed the game?
At least I did.
I hate it you guys complaining about something a lot of people put a lot of work in.

I call that ungrateful.
It's Sherlock Holmes all over again. Conan Doyle had to write a sequel under pressure of the fans because he fell from a waterfall and was pressumed dead in what originaly was the last book.
I don't call that fans...

You know.. I tend to get annoyed with people always complaining about plotholes. Yes.. Some are quiet annoying...but do you -ever- get all your questions answered in real life?

Depending on what you ask. The issue here I guess is that the end doesn't add up to what has been done to get to the point. Imagine Lord of the Rings with all the excitement of getting to Mordor. Instead of the epic ending, you'd just be informed that Frodo went to Mordor and destroyed the ring (How? Not mentioned), Aragorn lived happily ever after (A king maybe? Not mentioned), the armies met /w humans and the likes winning (How? Won't be mentioned) and then the "Happily ever after" was added. No wonder people are a bit disappointed :creep:

This just in: Bioware decides to change endings to all their games to more controversial ones, hopes for more cupcakes.

No one is asking for a complete rewriting of the ending, whilst it was bad it is somewhat manageable despite the dozens of plot holes, broken promises, lack of closure, etc. What people really want is proper closure, they promised us that we would see the consequences of our decisions, we saw none of that. They told us we would have answers to everything, in the end we ended up with just more questions. I've never been more disappointed in an ending so much, it left me feeling empty and devoid of emotion. In the final ten minutes of the game your character is completely out of ...character, you can't protest anything, you just have to sit there taking in all this bullshit from some supposedly omnipotent kid. The biggest difference with the endings is the tint of colour they use.


That is incorrect - the player recieves three choices, that much is correct, however the final outcome of those choices varies depending on the choices made throughout the game. The fans may feel that the changes are insignificant, but they're there. Moreover, there is only one perfect ending leading to an extra cutscene.

The endings vary even from the perspective of whether Shepherd dies or survives, but that's a matter for interpretation aswell.
That is incorrect, it doesn't matter what choices you make in the end. If you play the game properly and don't miss out half the things you can get every ending regardless. Your decisions have NO impact what so ever. Shepard can survive in one ending if you have high enough EMS. Even that is a plot hole in itself in where he wakes up.
