I do understand people's complaints though, however I think Bioware did this deliberately. The ending is purposely vague and open-ended, much like Alan Wake. bioware's intention was to get people talking and interpreting, and from what I've seen, the accomplished that. I think some of the more volatile anit-ending ME3 fans, should do a little more interpenetrating, before completely condemning everything.

It's funny people get mad at Ebert for games can't be considered art. The current reaction is why.

The ending isn't communicated as well as it could be, but over I think it wasn't awful enough to ruin a game.

I agree with an interpretation out there that believes the end was vague and jumpy, because Buzz Aldrin (stargazer) is struggling to remember it because it was so long ago

thats actually an interesting interpretation. and i also agree, i actually like the ending a bit more for the mystery it leaves. to me it concluded enough to be satisfactory while leaving other aspects a mystery, which will keep me thinking about it long after. these mysteries could also potentially be revealed in later games, dlc, or codex entries in other games.

i personally came to the conclusion that the reason for lack of closure on the other crew mates was becuase either....
1. they landed on a different planet so nobody knows
2. only their interactions with shepard were recorded in the history books, this makes a lot of sense since shep is the driving force behind everything and it was "his" story. not many people would tell you a story about somebody then go into details about the people who surrounded him, that wouldnt make sense

also everyone assumes shep is dead but you ever actaulyl see a body and once again the kid ask the stargazer to tell him another story about shepard and the guy says "maybe one more". that could go either way but typically if your going to tell stories about somebody from history, you dont start with how they died, you start with how they became famous. this leads me to believe shep is still alive....

anyway i have many more theories and thats what i loved about the end, there were so many different interpretations that could be had and still it was conclusive enough. flippin brilliant imo

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
