Finished it, and I don't want to read other's endings because I want to replay and see if its better, but here's my ending:



Is that it? Or did I just get a ball sucking ending? How does it compare to most?

Yep, that's pretty much it.

Thats pretty much it, all the endings are fairly similiar

What if everyone died during the Omega Relay mission?

What if Shepard died after ME1 and wasn't actually revived by Cerberus?

What if Shepard didn't survive Akuze?

What if Shepard and our entire galaxy is just one of many simulations the Prothean run in trying to seed a future galaxy?

If they're going to make the ending a surreal dream or some unrealistic solution after getting blasted by a Reaper's beam, you could make the argument that it started well before then too.

You could, in the end it's Bioware's call. If Bioware says its indoctrination, its Indoctrination, Their decisions control the canon of the universe.

The Wachowski bros should make the Mass Effect movies.

If you're trying to say it's hard to read, or you don't know what to read, I said before that people can summarize their spoilers. "I am at the part on (planet name here) where Shepard fights

Amazon will take anything back. I contacted them about my CE being scratched and they refunded me fully as well. But this was on release day and I expected maybe 10% credit or something similar.

I'm saying it's dumb. We only do it for people who shouldn't be in here reading it. Do you see any of them commenting?

what about us poor mods who are also gamers who have to read this bullshit to make sure there's no grade school fights going on who aren't done because we're too busy?

The fuck? You were UNEMPLOYED that week! Wtf is your damage?

Dude. I was commenting in here the entire time I was playing through the game. Don't tell me I shouldn't read this thread because I haven't beaten the game yet.

The spoiler system really helped prevent me from... guess what... getting the games ending spoiled.

It's a lot easier to read a paragraph that ends with than to be reading someones comment where they drop in the middle of their post, 'Oh yeah and then everything ended this way and I thought that sucked.' You can't see that coming.

The idea behind these threads are to discuss the game, talk about strategy, favorite missions, great dialog, etc.

What is the big deal? Use the spoiler feature. There's a button RIGHT there. If it stops being used, then what's the point of the feature?

An entire page of this game thread has been discussing the usefulness or uselessness of the spoiler tag. Can we move this to another thread so we can leave the GAME for discussion? Or better yet, take it up with a Mod.

IMO - Games are different than movies. 2 hours vs 40+ means be motherfucking considerate to your fellow gamer please.

So consideration only goes one way. Got it.

The most active gamers in these threads are the ones that can't be or don't care about being spoiled but we have to be considerate for those other dudes who are rarely here all while taking more time to post, quote, edit, and read.

IMO - Games like this need 2 threads vs 1 just like movies do when it switches from pre-release to post.

Speak for yourself, buddy.

Yeah, your 18/789 posts in this thread certainly puts you in the top-tier of most active gamers!

Yeah. I was busy you know, playing the game. Stopping here to read the Spoiler Free conversations. Avoiding those spoiler buttons. See how that works?

Explain how we're being inconsiderate to you for requiring you to use the Spoiler feature.

I will agree the ending sucked. When I got right to the end and saw the decisions in front of me, I looked online to see if I was missing a 'good ending', and saw that I wasn't so I just turned off the xbox, not picking any ending. THATS the only way I could enjoy the end of what was a great game.

Very well thought out argument but really, I think it shows that the ending was rushed in production.

Maybe it's just me, but between hearing bad things about the ending and the multiplayer just being too dang fun, I can hardly get motivated to progress much through the story these days...

Don't be so butt hurt, man. We still love you.

Only you, deftones, and fumanstan seem to be bothered by having to use the spoiler tags, so....


If anything that would make me want to hurry up and finish it so I can get back to Skyrim and get ready for Max Payne 3.

I think I've done all the side missions or I'd go back to an earlier save and do more of them. The game IS FUN, the story IS WELL DONE, right up until the end and however bad that sounds, it's still a very worthwhile ride.

Additionally, the build up to the end was really fun and satisfying in and of itself. You have some great conversations and shared moments with the characters. That part of the game was obviously very well put together.

Apparently EA is offering refunds for customers in the UK from Origin, if they claim False Advertising, folks on BSN are trying to find out if it applies to the US as well:

This is huge, basically it would admit that EA/Bioware knew the game had a potential to be false advertising and trying to stave off a lawsuit?

sh*t has officially hit the fan.

false advertising.

If it is true that EA is offering refunds for fans claiming this, then obviously there is something to this. Who knows..maybe they are just trying to make customers happy, but I would think customers would be happier if they got some ending closure.

Thats more depressing than it being
