what makes it worse is that they bragged it up in a few interviews that EVERY choice would be represented in the endings and it was going to be "incredibly complex".BX3 said:

What a joke.

I made a point that this seemed to be happening in a lot of the "I'm fine with the ending now" threads... after they were signing petitions to get the ending changed. They were angry about it before. And bewildered before that.
You've reached acceptance. Bravo. You are now officially sad, sad people.

Hehe! Reminds me how I felt after Shadow of the Colossus or the end of LIMBO.MiracleOfSound said:

Care to make a second?RaeAlethea said:
Just do what I and others are doing sir; try to erase the last ten minutes of the game from memory, and focus (heavily) on the good parts that made the Mass Effect series so special to you.MiracleOfSound said:
In my case, Kaidan. Lots and lots of Kaidan:
*sighs* I'm going to need a lot more Kaidan to forget about this...
True story - after I beat the game, me and the boyfriend were dumbstruck for 20 minutes, just going 'huu-whaaaa?'. I even walked around in a confused daze.
I ranted and raved at the nearest available target (my mother) for about 10 minutes after finishing. I believe I described it as "imagine if your first time watching The Lord of the Rings you watched the extended cuts and all back to back, and then Return ends when Gollum and Frodo fall off the ledge in Mt. Doom". Except with some more ranting and slightly more colorful language thrown in. I knew what was coming and STILL was mad. If anything, experiencing it made it worse, even knowing what the ending was. I am still firmly in the anger stage.
I'm right now inbetween 'acceptance' and 'bartering' when it comes to the ending. It hasn't effected me fully because I haven't actually played the whole game yet but still I'm trying my best to be emotionall prepared for what I do.
I should say outright that when I say I'm in the 'bartering' stage I mean simply that I still really want Bioware/EA to hurry up and approve of these:
A DLC remaking the endings may be hopeless but this is something that I am willing to let myself get emotionally invested in. Come on Bioware, if I really can't have a happy ending I can at least have high quality Play Arts Kai figures of my favorite characters, especially Ashley I would rather a PAK figure of her then a bishoujo statue. Surely that's no asking for the world.
Before I wouldn't even have worried about this because after all they are really well made, could sell for a huge price and given Bioware's attempts to market Mass Effect to Japan having toys made by a Japanese company would help.
But after these endings made thousands of people pissed off an depressed I now am actually worried about EA/Bioware when it comes to making good decisions.
I have decided that simply if Bioware don't license these, it will be the last straw for me.

Its hard, but we just have to focus on everything that made Mass Effect 3 amazing and not focus on the last 5 minutes. I say that, but I'm still in depression.
Who else is starting to feel like how awesome the rest of the series is (including ME3 up until the last 10 minutes) was nothing more than an elaborate practical joke to raise our hopes as high as possible in order to laugh at how spectacularly they could be crushed...?

All good stories need a good ending. Relatively subtle difference.
I would be HAPPY if it ended. The game industry is even worse than the movie industry when it comes to actually finishing stories. The ending should be the culmination of everything that has been leading up to it. Threads should be tied up, conclusions made.
Ever read the Mistborn trilogy? There is some FLAWLESS storytelling for you. The purpose of the story is so good and even if the ending can be said to be extremely bittersweet it ended. And it ended good. ME3s ending was a fucking disgrace.
Are you me? Because I'm pretty sure I'm me, and that's what me is doing.RaeAlethea said:I'm currently using my boyfriend as a substitute Kaidan pillow, but of course he doesn't measure upsoren7550 said:
Could be an evil twin I suppose, but you can't be evil, you like Kaidan. Does that make me the evil twin then? That can't be though, since I too like Kaidan. GAAAAAAAAAHHH!
