I liked ME3's ending

[votemarvel]

I think my biggest problem with the ending(s) is not what they were but what they weren't.

The endings to the first two Mass Effect games changed depending on how you'd played, paragon or renegade.

For Mass Effect 1 this was just a dialogue change, with another variation depending on whether you'd saved or let the council die. In Mass Effect 2 your entire team was at risk because you needed to gain their loyalty or sent them on the wrong job.

Yet at the end of Mass Effect 3 nothing you'd done previously mattered. A ruthless renegade got the exact same dialogue, the same three choices of colour, as a shining paragon.

To me that was a wasted opportunity. They didn't need to make huge changes but even something small, like some dialogue changes as in Mass Effect 1, would have given players something back for playing in a certain way.

Why does it have to be here? This forum is not his fucking live journal where he can go "I KINDA LIKED IT". There have been a millin fucking threads focusing on this already and making an another one just to share your opinion about it is at this point just fucking obnoxious.

You're the only one that cares, or at least cares enough to show up and rant. Sucks, doesn't it? Funny story, you don't to post in this thread. Or even respond to this actual post. WEIRD!

I get the feeling that I'm in the minority, so what did you guys think?

Play Deus Ex (the original ofc).

No worries. I enjoyed the ending too. (100% destroy reapers ending for me) I about half expected the entire Bioware staff to come out and cockslap me in the face at the end the way everyone talked about it. But yeah, I thought it was a good ending, kinda regret picking Miranda as a love interest now. Should've picked liara, especially with her scene at the end between her and shepherd. That game was too good.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, honestly. As someone who disliked the way it ended, I will say that I can see why you didn't have a problem with it. If you become interested in why others are so passionate about their disdain for the ending I'll just direct you here

But if you liked it and don't wish to give it a second thought then just breeze on past the links.

Question to the OP out of curiosity, was this your first ME game or have you been playing since the first game?

I'be been playing since the first game. I've played through each game twice so far, and plan on replaying ME3. Part of the reason I was pleasantly surprised with ME3's ending was because I thought ME2's ending was really terrible.

EDIT:

Spoiler

ME2's ending being terrible is also just my opinion. I didn't like how narrow the two possible options were, and it bothered me why you couldn't just keep the station and then just show it to the council to prove the reapers. On top of that blowing it up seemed like the renegade option. And even if you do blow it up cerberus still salvages parts of it.

The ending could have been better. What annoyed me more was the rehashing with different colours than anything else. All the OTT bitching is hilarious. But i still love the characters and stories and the universe and hope they will make other games based in this universe.
