GoozerNation: "Amid the outcry of furious gamers I’ve found myself as part of the minority. I thought the original ending to Mass Effect 3 was okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa – blow out your torches and put down the pitchforks, there’s no need for a burning at the stake today. I’ll make concessions but I don’t think BioWare has anything to answer for."
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

Actually, you're probably part of the majority. I know I haven't spoken to a single Mass Effect fan in person who had any issue with the ending whatsoever.
The problem is satisfied fans never speak up. It's always pissed off people who make the most noise. Mass Effect 3 nearly doubled it's first week sales on the 360 compared to Mass Effect 2 and has received no end of high, critical praise. In all actuality, it's more likely the pissed off fans that are in the minority. It's just too bad they feel their options of the game should be forced on everyone.
Original Mass Effect 3 Ending Was OK, I agree, but Mass Effect is more than a "just OK" game
Yeah, I thought it was fine at first, too. Then I started thinking.
Can someone please remove this dead horse from the road? People are trying to get to work.
Well, when i got the game i couldn't come on here or go near pretty much any gaming site because of all the articles regarding this ending, i didn't want to spoil it.
When i actually did finish it i was like "Thats It!! Thats what all the hysteria is over!?".
I didnt think it was great but i didnt think it was bad either, i hate conventional endings, where everything conveniently comes together, the conflict is solved, the good guys win etc... because that rarely happens in real life.
It was the same with "No Country For Old Men", my friends hated it and said it ended stupid, whereas i was the complete opposite. That's why i love the Coens or HBO shows or basically anything that ends their films/shows realistically.
EDIT: Although, i agree with vortis above, kinda annoying that all these important decisions didn't really matter, but most of the games rpg elements, when it came to choice and consequences, were always a bit of an illusion anyway.
NO it wasn't ..
It doesn't make any sense , and contractic every major theme you've been faced in the 3 games prior ...
it might be ok if you don't care about the story but if you pay attention , you'd realise that every argument presented to shepard before the choices is no good.
ANd forcing the player to make bad choices isn't a problem .. it's that these choices are at the opposite of every choices you've made thus far
