First of all, Bethesda didn't respond to gamers for a good couple of weeks. People keep using broken steel as precedent, but fail to mention the reaction time of the company. It also didn't come out until around may or june of 2009. DLC packs preceded it.

@chuk5

But it was done right?? its used as a precedent because it happened, a company was willing to change the ending of a game, and in fallout's case, the real ending wasnt even problematic. look at my post below, thats just 2 out of MANY errors in the current ME3 endings that really mess up everything that has ocurred in past games.

I dont care if i dont like an ending if it at least makes sense, like Uncharted 3, i thought the ending was a carbon copy of U2 with unexploited villains, but at least it made sense in regards to what had happened in the game.

The ending for ME3 doesnt make any sense at all, even more confusing to me is how a company for 98% of the game has managed to resolve in such a great way so many variables about what had happened in previous games, manages to screw up so much in just 5 min, it feels like its done on purpose... that ending is what really goes against the game's artistic vision that had been shown for the past 100+h

but what most people dont seem to notice is why are people complaining, this isnt some "i want a happier ending" type of thing, and people arent asking bioware to change it because of it, they are asking for something to be done because the ending as it is just doesnt make sense, it even dismisses entire plots in ME1 and ME2.

just to point a few (spoiler i guess)

-Catalyst kid says he is the one who controls the reapers and that the citadel is a part of him, so whats the point of ME1? Isnt sovereign left behind so every 50.000 years he activates the signal IN THE CITADEL to bring the rest of the reapers? The citadel is already a part of the one in control of the reapers, why is sovereign even there?

-In the real ending, bioware shows us a glimpse to show shepard survived...this is just absurd, unless he is waking up from Harbingers blast in London(which would imply that the endings arent real) we are being told that shepard who has no armor at all after being blast away/incinerated by Harbingers blast, survives those tubes blowing up in his face, then he survives THE ENTIRE CITADEL BLOWING UP IN HIS FACE, then he somehow manages not to suffocate due you know..being in space without any type of armor that allows him to breathe, even more, he now enters earth's athmosphere without being burned to ashes, only to crash on earth at hundreds/thousand of miles per hour, AND HE STILL MANAGES TO SURVIVE?? i guess cerberus really didnt need to revive shepard in ME2 since he can take all that and still survive...

c'mon... this isnt about "happy ending" or "bad ending", or the creators artistic vision, its about at least making sense and delivering on the promises you made

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
