Just read on a Swedish forum that a user puked the whole night because he got so depressed by the ending, he said it felt like a relative died. :tinfoil:

I genuinely have to worry about some of the responses to the ending. Not that I don't sympathize but some of the reactions are horrifying. People depressed for days, completely despondent. It's...troublesome.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35121048]I'm just wondering what their logic was behind all this. The indoctrination is gaining a disturbing amount of support because of how many holes it fills, but even that means that Bioware only gave us half the ending.[/QUOTE]
I think it's just an easy way out for the writers, it does explain a lot of things but it leaves the game essentially unfinished, which is extremely disappointing for a lot of people, I'd imagine. To make it worse, Bioware has said that ME3 is the end of the Shepard story arc, meaning the story will essentially never have a proper ending if it's left as is. Which is why I think an expansion pack sized DLC is the answer. Bioware will never release a free DLC that expands or changes the endings, just because they'd probably lose money from doing it. However, I think if they released a proper sized DLC that did more than rectify the pretty disappointing endings, it would justify the price, hopefully make a lot more people happy and satisfy the Company's need to make a profit.
Not that I know a lot about businesses or Bioware, just typing what's going through my head.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;35119344]It's probably been mentioned, but wasn't the whole crew of the normandy [sp]in london, with shepard? you see them just before you run into the beam. why are they all suddenly in the ship during the ending (they all come out once you crash). wtf???[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]the only two people I saw on the ship were EDI and Joker[/sp]
that is a bit odd though.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;35120873]man i mean i even like femshep voice actor but both of these versions just scream out how amazing keith david is at acting compared to both shepards[/QUOTE]
imagine if keith david voice acted shepard

[sp]apart from the fact edi was most definitely in london right before the end, before the credits roll, all the other crewmates begin walking out.[/sp]

how did I miss the rest of them?
it's hard to believe that they "rushed" the ending considering it's all prerendered and such so there has to be some sort of explanation for it. can't imagine what though. I suppose the [sp]normandy could have dropped down and picked everyone up assuming everything was going to shit after the failed attack on the beam, and the assumption that everyone was dead and the crucible wouldn't activate[/sp].

[/QUOTE]
I'm going to go ahead and stick my neck out: I think Mass Effect 3's ending is a far greater disappointment than the Star Wars prequels ever were. The prequels I can tolerate, if not have a good time with. The ending for ME3? Nope.
I don't get the overemotional reactions either. Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by them [sp]if the indoctrination theory is false[/sp] but I'm not going to let it affect my life...

[sp]The surviving organic species will eventually be able create their own Relays... given millions of years, but hey it's possible without those cosmic jerks coming along every 50k years and resetting everything.[/sp] :v:
I heard that there's DLC coming for MP adding characters like Geth and Batarians
Is that true?
I think, if they make it so that the whole ending is [sp]Indoctrination, then, there needs to be a choice not to destroy the mass relays. There has to be another way.[/sp]
i gotta admit, alarm bells went off in my head when the platform shepard was on raised. it did seem suspiciously handy. i like the theory it wasn't real because it didn't feel very real in the game, that whole sequence seemed very off. but the way it wrapped up with the music and the part with joker. how can you tell me that isn't supposed to be the 'real' ending?

[sp]Unless the Reapers... reaped the Mars archives there's potentially plans for the Prothean mass relays there.[/sp]

[sp]True, but think about it. Everyone is stranded at earth. The turians and quarians will run out of food and die. The earth is a smouldering wreck. I doubt there is much chance.[/sp]

Well duh, if the [sp]indoctrination[/sp] is true none of what happened in the [sp]Citadel[/sp] actually happened.

Speaking of the platform, I also found [url=http://i.imgur.com/ZP0b0.jpg]this[/url] amusing.
I can completely see how Bioware looked at the ending they made and went 'yep, that feels right', ignoring a lot of the detail that's almost impossible to ignore as a longstanding player. I think they chose an ending with a resolute feeling over an ending that actually wraps stuff up.
[QUOTE=MajorMattem;35121340][sp]True, but think about it. Everyone is stranded at earth. The turians and quarians will run out of food and die. The earth is a smouldering wreck. I doubt there is much chance.[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]I'm hoping that the indoctrination theory is true.
In which case, whatever consequences the endings had, like blowing up the Mass Relays is irrelevant, because Shep wakes up before he gets to the citadel.
Gives them plenty of leeway to have the ending, you know, NOT destroy the relays.[/sp]

Wow, BioWare, what the fuck.
The main problem is that the game is so intricate throughout, and yet there are gaping oversights in the final minutes of the game. It's so bizarre.

[sp]Eh, Quarian and Turians all die off, leaving Humanity, Geth and Salarians? Who eventually rebuild civilisation from the ground up, making Earth the galactic capital, before finally creating a viable Relay substitute eventually reuniting all the races scattered and stranded across the stars into the Mighty Human, Geth & Salarian Empire (or the MHGSE), or something...[/sp]
Hey, still better than the current endings :v:
[QUOTE=Rusty100;35121401]The main problem is that the game is so intricate throughout, and yet there are gaping oversights in the final minutes of the game. It's so bizarre.[/QUOTE]
Every aspect of it is bizzare. I can't wait for Bioware's response to it, and I really can't believe how many people are defending Bioware for the endings. I have not seen a single major reviewer talk about the ending, several internet publications are slandering the people who are angry about it...
