One of those, Shepard deserves an ending that doesn't end with him being shot, stabbed, or blown up. |

I don't want a happy ending, I want a non-rushed ending with closure about the surviving crew.
I witnessed a girl having a nervous breakdown playing it who liked the ending and as much as she wanted to skip off with her love at the end, she knew it was time for her to go. She cried thought the whole game it seems. |

Multiplayer DLC is on its way although not other details in regards to price, release date, or info besides it containing new classes based on a leaked image.

Probably going to be a matter of time until someone tries to find out if this one is also on the disc depending once all the details get revealed. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...r-dlc-spotted/ |

It's like prestiging. You get characters up to level 20 and then just press X. 20 is the cap.

This is bordering on Peter Molyneux syndrome, and that's before plot holes you can drive the Normandy through. Having not purchased the game, I don't feel "ripped off," per se, but that's a pretty lousy ending to a series that was supposed to be all about choices and shit. |

I didn't have a problem with the endings in the most basic sense. To me, the series has been building towards an ultimate showdown with the Reapers and throughout the story it has been painted as next to impossible to achieve victory. The choices at the end amount to making a hard choice in order to achieve that victory.
That being said, I think the various endings do leave something to be desired. Like others have said we're left to draw conclusions or speculate as to what happened to characters at the end. As has also been pointed out there are some continuity issues with choices that carried over from previous titles. I'm alright with the direction that the game was taken because I can live without the cliche "everyone survives even though the chances of winning in the first place were slim to none" ending. I think it could have been done better though. |

The main plot was always fucked, I just looked at it like big black robots to kill, oh well. All the time the subplots, attachment to the crew and quite well executed interspecies politics kept me coming back. The thing with Molyneux is that when his games were good, most of the ideas he had that never made it in were superficial anyway. He loved talking about things they were probably trying, but was way too early as they didn't even know if it was possible now. Bioware have basically lied about a very fundamental aspect to the game and even through doing that, if the ending had any closure in at all after a game I found an immense amount of joy in up until that point, I probably would have just thought "oh you Bioware, you lying little toerags. I'll let you off this time!". But no. We got what I am assuming is the deadline ending no matter if they do DLC the ending or not. Obviously this "save your save111!!1" is making me think DLC ending even more, but they could make a Mass Effect 4 that a Miranda that's been reconstructed by Jacob reconstructs Shepard one... more... time.... Then we find out that Desmond ruined this series too by looking at the events through an Animus in 4156. |

I dunno. After watching the endings it makes me glad I didn't waste a lot of time and aggravation trying to get a perfect playthrough. Only went in with all theaters at 52%. Not sure what would've changed if they were at 100%. Am happy though that I now get to attack some others games on my shelf.

I think a good chunk of that was the lack of Drew Karpyshyn. And yeah, I know he was a writer in ME2, but he was no longer the writer. The series was hackneyed, but still lovingly crafted. Similarly, his novels were some of the best game books ever. The novels were awesome right up until someone else started writing them, then down the crapper. Quote:

I'm pretty sure, even after their recent complaints that DLC six months down the line is worthless, we will see some. I'm only skeptical on the point of the saves being a big thing. Quote:
