Hey sorry to hear about it! Should be over by now though!

Really? You really think I'm a Microsoft employee? Wow...

I am one of the people that was quite happy with the ending and believes that it was really the only way to end the story. I take issue with those that say that I am someone incapable of free thought or insinuating that I am just "drinking
the kool-aid". You don't agree with me? Fine. State that and go about your business. There's absolutely no need to attempt to demean the intelligence of someone who disagrees with you.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask: how were you happy with the ending? I get that everyone is entitled to their opinion & that's fine, but I don't see this as being an issue of opinion. The fact of the matter is that the ending of ME3 is out
of touch with nearly every other aspect of the entire trilogy. To take a trilogy
advertised since E3 2006 as giving its player a somewhat unique experience over the course of 3 games that will ultimately culminate
in an ending that was shaped by the choices made in those 3 games only to turn around and release a finale that introduces a brand new antagonist in the last 10 minutes of the trilogy that presents us with a entirely new goal that has next-to-nothing to do
with the one we've been working towards for 99% of the trilogy and completely discarding the choices we were PROMISED would matter is insulting at best.



Regardless of what you think of the ending itself, regardless of whether or not you buy into the indoctrination theory, it doesn't matter -- like the choices me made over the course of 5 years, 3 games & 100+ hours.



"As Mass Effect 3 is the end of the planned trilogy, the developers are not constrained by the necessity of allowing the story to diverge, yet also continue into the next chapter.
This will result in a story that diverges into wildly different conclusions based on the player's actions in the first 2 chapters." - Casey Hudson (Executive Producer, Mass Effect trilogy)

and since I know Im over the edit timer

link says it the best imo

"But here’s the thing: My choices did have consequences. So many, on so many of the characters, in so many ways. It’s just, those consequences occurred on my long path toward the ending. And, well, that’s bloody brilliant, isn’t it?

Many are upset by the final moments, a three-way decision that is not impacted upon by the rest of the game, as if this invalidates everything that came before it. But two things. 1) What about everything that came before it? 2) How is that decision not
impacted upon by the previous three games?!

A choice I made wiped out an entire species. Unable to choose the Quarians’ wrath over the Geth’s capitulation, I was unaware that giving them the option to choose would mean seeing them wiped out of existence. Even less that Tali would throw herself off a
cliff in understandable suicidal misery. And that choice, that decision to give the freshly sentient Geth my support, had one hell of a consequence on the galaxy. In that final battle the Geth fought alongside the Alliance forces, something that would have
seemed impossible at the end of Mass Effect 1. The Quarian were all dead, every last one of them. My actions had consequences, and they were beyond huge."

he goes on to say more but I think the point should be able to be seen from this snipit.

I applaud BioWare on making a product that consumers obviously are OVERLY devoted to.
