[SPOILERS]

The problem isn't even that the ending is bad, the problem is the lack of choice. In the end, all the choices you've made up to that point were for nothing. The game ends almost the exact same way.

There is a rant about this on youtube, that while i found the guy to be annoying, he actually made very good points, in that the ending makes no sense for numerous reasons. It's also annoying that the final scene after the credits basically says one of two things, either they are going to try and charge us for DLC to get different endings, or they plan to release another trilogy of the Mass Effect games, with a different storyline and a main character still named Shepard.

The reason I think that latter part, is that the kid says, "Tell me another story about the Shepard." And then the old guy says, "It's getting late, but okay. One more story" That allows me to assume that what he told was either a fairy tale, or a real story, and that now he plans to tell another one (hence the next trilogy).

Personally, I would be okay with another trilogy, as long as it ended depending on the choices we made. You know how pointless it was to even make choices in ME3? I mean, at the end of my first play through I couldn't pick the blue/red choices on the very last chance for the Illusive man. So he shot Anderson. In my second playthrough I could make that last choice, so illusive man shot himself, and then Anderson just fell over dead anyways. What was the point? Then the very last decision, picking between the three while in the catalyst. There was no scene that made them different. All three choices end with the warps being destroyed and the Normandy crashing on an unknown planet. It sounds to me like no matter what you do, they wanted some ending that showed that the only people left alive were your crew, and your crew is left to start repopulating the galaxy.

Personally, I liked the ending, but was upset to find out that was the only real ending. It didn't matter that the Geth destroyed the quarians in my save, or that Tali commmited suicide. It was all pointless, though I will say, the game still had some incredibly emotional motions.

If the indoctrination theory is correct, then they're going to sell us real endings as DLC. Sounds worse to me.

I agree they shouldn't change the ending . It is what it is. But, it looks to me that the ending is in place to force us to pay to see more of the ending we were actually hoping to see in the main game.

Yeah cgoodno is a moderator so he gives himself as many bubbles as he wants.

You're not missing much, just argues that because they created it they don't have to do jack. Which anyone with half a brain cell would already know.

On topic, from what I've read they've done a p*ss-poor job of wrapping up the story, which in my opinion is a major disservice to the fans, makes me glad I didn't buy day one and waited for user feedback. Lost faith in anything that comes out of EA these days.

They lost too much talent.

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
