Mass Effect 3 SPOILER THREAD: LOTS OF SPECULATION FROM EVERYONE

The epilogue of Joker telling his grandson the story was great. It didn't occur to me until now who that probably was. Maybe I'll go watch it again.
I can't see Joker referring to a kid as "my sweet". Nevermind that'd only work in one ending.
 
Leaked files imply those were aliens 10,000 years in the future.

Lol, are you serious? So not only did Shepard most likely exterminate billions/trillions in the mass relay explosions, but he/she plunged the galaxy into a 10,000 year dark age without space travel? What? WHAT?!?!? Just when I thought the ending couldn't get any worse ...
 
Oh you guys, I wanted to scare him with my knowledge of the events gained after restless nights of speculatin'

Hey, but at least everyone still knows her name.

Yeah, I just had that realization seconds ago and I went "Fuck that ending!". It's true then, Dragon Age 3: Return of Shit Mountain is Mass Effect 3's true sequel.


Oh God, Kaidan. Why? Dragon Age of all things?
 
It's not stated in-game, and it could be old, but yeah: http://mod.gib.me/masseffect3/testdump.txt

1: We see a child, maybe they look a little bit asari, a little bit human. They are looking at the stars on a planet some 10,000 years after the events of the game.
2: There is an older male here as well, the child looks to the "grandfather" and asks...

The image and dialogue are so vague that they could make up whatever they wanted though, so I wouldn't count it as rock solid fact.
 
This is the first time I'm seeing the 10,000 years thing. Wow this ending really did blow. To repeat what was said above, good job plunging the galaxy into a 10,000 year+ dark age Shepard!
 
Okay guys you win, I watched the AngryJoe video and he's right about everything, too much nerdrage for me in the video though lol.

Let's see how Bioware responds.

PAY 10 BUCKS FOR GOOD ENDING.

It's cool man. You should go back to ME1, play through the games again but this time, don't care about any of your decisions. They don't mean shit anyway. Just have fun and shoot things!

I already said this in a previous post, but it can't be Asari because there are no males, and both figures at the end were male.


Edit: Also, only about 500 posts (5 pages or 10 pages depending on your settings) for Spoiler OT2. :o

Who's going to make it?
 
Do the krogans find out that I betrayed them, I have Wreav alive and Mordin is working on he crucible?

The krogans are starving to death on their barren planet because they don't have access to ships and are repopulating their planet at an alarming rate. That's what is happening right now.

Nah, I'm in the middle of my renegade run through and I haven't had a confrontation that so many had with Wrex on the citadel
 
it is quite possible they'll make an alternate ending ala end of evangelion just to calm the masses, lol.

after watching the 10 reasons video, I give in, the guy is right, but I just can't get mad at the ending, I enjoyed the rest too much to complain all day about the last 4 minutes, it's fun wattching you do it tho.

Challenge accepted! I'd watch this SUPER fucked up ending if it's a visual feast extravaganza that shows all of the characters in their final glory moments.
 
Meh I hit my acceptance stage by now. I've been here since the thursday or friday after the game hit in north america so I've ranted and raged for a while. Now I just don't really give a shit anymore.

The sad part is that feeling is extending to ME1 and 2 as well, making me not want to play those anymore.

Without Wrex on Tuchanka, they probably have reverted to clan structure again and without food and room to grow, they are probably resorting to cannibalism. That is, IF the mass relay explosion didn't destroy their entire solar system.

I enjoyed ME3 enough to not let the endings effect my overall outlook on the series. Yes, the ending is probably the least satisfying ending I have experienced, but the game exceed my expectations for some 35 hours before that. The shooting, the art, the atmosphere, the character arcs, the deaths, Garrus on the Citadel, emergency induction port, everything with Javik, all the scenes with Liara, the goodbyes in London, the Geth level, the Mars mission (if the VS was your LI); Bioware did so much right that even if they leave the ending as is, I will still remember ME3, and the series, fondly.

It would just be that much better if they updated the abomination we have.

I want them to go even further: make this like a Cavia game. They promise new DLC that will "fix the ending", they make it darker and bleaker, and they promise they'll fix it in the next one... and it's even worse. By the time we're done the one we originally got will be sunshine and rainbows in comparison, even the absolute worst one.
 
Yeah, the Angry Joe video really put it best. I want to play it again, but I already can tell what the slight differences would be. Since the journey leads to the same end, I just feel apathetic towards playing again.

I should hav let Marauder Shields take me down.

Marauder Shields' noble warning was the ending we deserved, but not the one BioWare gave us. So we killed him. Because he can take it. Because he is not our ending. He was a silent guardian, a watchful protector. He is MARAUDER SHIELDS.

The only this ending could get any worse is if they had your entire team go onto the Citadel with you and TIM/Harbinger mind control you to slowly execute each and every one of your squad.

Worse? Sounds like an improvement to me. At least that doesn't break the rest of the universe.
 
The people who say things like, stop being entitled, it's not your game, it's not your story, if you don't like it you can leave, you can stop buying, etc, just puzzle me. There's a reason why people were so angry, it's because they cared, and they'd rather see more of the universe they love rather than abandon it altogether. It's in the best interest of both the company and the customer if that happens.

That's what you'd think, but Cavia finds ways to go deeper, until your dark fantasy game has you
fighting over modern Tokyo in a rhythm battle, with your victory reward being unceremoniously shot down by a jet.
Then you get a sequel to that.
 
Well, on the plus side, at least we have all those other character driven universe rich science fiction trilogies to look forward to.

Oh.

Wait.

Thing is though, with the whole entitlement arguement, is that this ISN'T a movie. This isn't some screenwriter or director making a statement about society or something more specific and we get to view it. This is an interactive game that people have been invested in for five years. You don't get to just piss on all of that, all of OUR decisions. I don't even get it from the writers point of you. Why would you do all this world building, all the universe building, just to close it off at the end? How does that benefit them?

"..If you have to defend your art from criticism by pointing out that it's art and you can't criticize it, it is both terrible and not art."

Lol common sense from game journalists, I use the word journalists lightly. Most of them shouldn't even be called bloggers imo.
