WARNING:
Major spoiler alert! Only for people who have beaten Mass Effect 3!!!!
Okay so I know I've got an obsession with Mass Effect. It is more than just a game to me. I care about the characters and the plot. ME was my favorite game series for many reasons. I know it's only been a couple days since the release but I need to know something: Is there an alternate ending? In the end, is there a way to survive? In my only game I was paragon, I didn't have all the support I could but it was close, and I didn't have enough paragon points to stop the Illusive Man without shooting him. Then I chose to control them......relays wiped out and...well you know what happens. Is there another way? Call me cruel but I would rather a billion more lives get taken than Shepard's crew. I'm really cut up about how things ended (though I wouldn't call it an ending) and I cant stand to put the game in and give it another go. Not yet. Not for a while. Unless I know I can get a better ending....somebody tell me something...tell me anything :sadface:

Well I just beat it and that ending was F***ing EPIC!!!!
I was Pretty much Full Paragon and had to shoot the Illusive bastard.
I chose dived into the Beam and Synthesized I guess since Joker's eyes were glowing and you could see circuits running through his arm. EDI and Liara were alive too. Dunno about the others since they didn't show up. There HAS to be a DLC showing WTF happened afterwards! HAS TO BE!

You have to be kidding me.
All the endings sucked.
the whole ending is some sort of dream. shepard gets almost hit by the reaper lazer. he is then knocked out. after that the reapers try to get you on their side. by letting you think that synthisize is the best action. however the, as. they describe it, renegade option is de correct one. joker doesn't land on q unkown planet that is just in the "dream". when you choose the same path as in the video shepard wakes up on de ground in London.

This is what really happened.
The endings we have now are all pretty retarded.
Joker is fleeing for the crucibles attack. It only destroys reapers so why flee?

 
I dove into the Beam because I didn't know how to choose the other option. There was no button or anything to choose it. Sacrifice or Synthesis.

You could "controll" them or synthesize, when doing sythesize you choose for the reapers.
You choose to upload the reaper code to everyone in the galaxy.
You want to do that? The only way to see the Shepard survives part is to choose for the, as the kid calls it, renegade option.
 
I know but I didn't see the "way" to choose that option. I tried talking to the kid and that didn't work.

The way to choose the option was to walk to it.
You had three choices.
Either control them follow path to the right. Synthesize walk in a straight line and jump in the beam or to detroy the reapers (doesn't destroy other synthetic life, EDI and the geth are safe) you can choose this action by following the path to the right.

>le

Yea, but if you readiness is high enough you see Shepard breathing in the end.
 
Should probably work for you then.
I'll wait for what Bioware is going to release because this was just utter plops.
Joker on some random planet with my Tali? No way! I want to make a house with her on Rannoch.
That kid.. What's with that kid? All the dreams Shepard had also hinted to that kid being the reapers.

I took the path to the right and saw Shepard take a breathe after what happened. I was like OH SHIIITE!!!
MASS EFFECT 4! Where r my little blue baby daughters BIOWARE?!?
 
Exactly what I thought.
exept I wanted to build a house for Shepard and Tali'Zorah on Rannoch.

There is a strong rumor going around that they are working on a real ending.
Not this ending, since it is most likely just a "dream" made by the reapers. indoctrination.
So keep the tweets/facebook of bioware and bioware producers in check.

Ok first of all: sorry i haven't been on my own topic I used to get emails on notifications idk what happened GRR!
Anyway in response to this ^ I say WTH?! Seriously? They already pushed the game back like four months wth did they fix?! And why work on it now? They HAD to know this would piss people off! Why not just delay it even further and come out with the perfect me3 all at once? Idve been mad about another delay but not this mad. All the endings are really the same. Its really just "whats your favorite color?" in the end. Completely insulting. 85% of voting fans say Bioware completely dropped the ball. There are petitions going around for dlc alternate endings which ive been nagging about since i beat the game on the 8th. Also, Mass Effect fans are donating to Child's Play charity to show Bioware how serious we are. This has been going since March 13th and we're up to $60,000 so far. It ends on the 11th. So many of us are holding the line Hope you'll join. I've been recruiting for days and Im not about to stop :)

This was my reason for signing:

I sign this petition to seek closure. Mass Effect is a beautiful series that had a disappointing ending. I was really cut up about it and cannot go back to the first games because of this. I cannot look the characters in the face, even the very few I didn't like. Bioware promised an unforgettable ending. Well I am trying my utmost to forget the entire series. Though I would really rather not. These games meant so much to me. But the ending is left hanging. I don't call it mysterious, I call it insulting. I've probably spent thousands of hours on Mass Effect perfecting my Shepard, doing everything right and the ending is only decided on my war assets? Insulting. None of it matters because the reapers basically win matter how you play it. A happy ending is what I seek. It should be damn near impossible to achieve but it should be an option for those of us willing to earn it. This is not written in anger but in desperation and longing to see the series ended the right way. Mass Effect and its fans deserve better so please Bioware don't leave us hanging...Don't leave us behind.

I don't know what good signing a petition will do. I did not mind the ending so much, but I have not seen the synthesis one yet. The part that gets under my skin is the quarian/geth decision. I am aware you can have both, but the requirements are too steep.

I guess I'm so bitter because I had a save with the exact requirements but got a new xbox and could not import my data because ME saves won't copy for some odd reason. So I played all the way through the second game again but forgot to do one thing, and did not get it. This is my second playthrough. On Insanity. I wanted my outcomes to be the way they should be. I worked for it too. Super high Paragon score, completion, etc.

Why the hell would shepard just sit by and be like "Better luk next time quarianlolz!"? Too much history with tali. Too much history with AI's like Legion and EDI. He gives her a half ass "I'm sorry" before she nose dives off a cliff. This is very uncharacteristic, they could have made the scene more believeable at LEAST.

Well for some reason... Miranda always dies one me at the end of ME2 and so does Legion when I tell him to open the doors... Does that always happen? I don't care that Miranda died... She's a stuck up b****.(tried to mess with my Jackie)

but yea...
Here's a lil joke to ease your sorrows about the endings.

*Alliance soldier: That's a pretty cool bayonet you put on your shotgun
*Krogan: ... wrong.
*Alliance soldier: Huh?
*Krogan: I put a shotgun on my knife handle
*Alliance soldier: 0_0
*Krogan: Heh, Heh, Heh.

^ It's so true...

Yes I didn't fully understand the ending. And I must not still because now instead of being pissed off about a plopsty ending, I pissed off because it doesnt seem like there even IS an ending....my head hurts from thinking about it >_< I mean if everything is in Shepard's head I dont understand how anything happened with the reapers...arent they still a problem? All I know is I needed closure with this series and instead the ending gave me a headache.
We sign petitions and donate money to get Bioware's attention. Its working. They are listening but we need to keep the pressure on for anything to happen.

Hello, all. I'm popping into this thread for two reasons...

One is to agree that I was extremely disappointed in the ending of ME3 :sadface: Up until the last ~20 minutes or so it was one of the best games I've ever played... but then they gave us a rushed ending that lacked closure and logic and was just... ugh. :sadface: Soooo happy with the news that they'll be releasing ending DLC that might clear up some of the mess they created with the normal game ending! :D

The second reason is kind of shameless advertising XD Some of us on here who participate in Skyrim RPs are going to start a Mass Effect RP on the Gaming Bay forum. So far it's just 5 of us, and we could probably use a few more people. I figure only ME fans would look at this thread ;) If you're interested, you can send me a message :) I think we'll start an off topic/OOC thread on Gaming Bay fairly soon.
