Thinking about that now I'm pretty sure they're placement lines up with both Omega and Illium.
Someone should check for sure I'm stuck on my phone.

We've guessed that multiple times. It is possible.
I think most people were pretty sure there was going to be some deus ex machina and had come to terms with it.

Funny thing, the part in the Citadel is the same, romance or not.
Also, just beated the game. Yeah the ending was bad, confusing and didnt make a lot sense, but its nowhere as close to "franchise ruining! omg! i wont play any of the 3 ME games ever again, fuck you bioware!" as some people say, but that's the typical overreaction on the internet i suppose.
Also why was Garrus on the Normandy when he was with me when we ran for the Citadel beam? No way he had time to get back there! And it sucked seeing Shepard, MY Shepard, having no choice but to kill herself, but whatever... i guess they had to do that to close the trilogy and never bring Shepard back in future ME games.
But still, even if the last 10 mins were the worst part of ME3, i still enjoyed the hell out of it. Can't wait to do other playthroughs and see the differences.

I should reiterate; I too thought he was boring, and uninteresting.

No matter what, all AI will try to wipe out all organic life, it's destiny. This machine can make "a new DNA" of synthetic and organic life... somehow.

I guess, but we all saw us needing a MacGuffin to win the war especailly as no way to out right beat the reapers was established in ME1 or 2. And at least the Crucible was built up through the game.

Ahh ok, I was just making sure my game didnt go arse up and lock content out.
Just finished it, not quite sure what to think of the ending, I played Paragon throughout the series but I couldnt help but pick the so called Renegade option at the end. I couldnt accept that TIM's way was the Paragon option.

They're only there because of the way the galaxy map shows which relays you have to pass through to get to the one your cursor is on, though they might be used in the future.

Oh come on good sir! All it needed was some positive thinking!
Most of us knew this series was going to end with some god weapon after we saw Sovereign take down about 40 ships by itself and say there were countless others like him waiting.
Even if Bioware tried to say differently leading up to this game's release.

My positive thinking got the galaxy blown up in a blue explosion. I don't think I'll try that any more =/
It's not really a deus ex machina though. It was introduced at the beginning of the game and became the whole purpose of Shepard's fight. It's convenient but not unbelievably so, within the ME universe.

Damn...That is true. Ok what about the power of somewhat positive, but occasionally ok thinking? Try that one.

I thought the fact that each race added on was a nice touch to the crucible, so it wasn't just
"Hey Shepard, we built this superweapon in a week, use it to destroy the Reapers."
"Hey Shepard, we built this superweapon in a week, use it to destroy the Reapers."

This was already implied. There were how many mentions during the game about 'cycles' and 'every 50,000 years things start anew'?

I expect Bioware to provide an EXPANSION PACK (not just DLC) TRUEFAX ending that fixes the worst ever thing in human history aka the Mass Effect 3 'ending' for FREE.

As someone else said, the Crucible isn't deus ex machina, it's a MacGuffin. Space Casper is deus ex machina.

The cycles were the reapers coming in not created AI destroying everything.
And I suppose it does mention it in a miss-able conversation with the DLC character.
I believe I'm entitled to an ending in which I shoot the kid. I still have to pick one of the 3 options, but I personally get to kill him.
We knew that in ME1 but we didn't know why until the last second of this game. It especially looked silly hearing a Reaper tell me that right after I united the quarians and geth and Joker about 5 minutes away from...uniting...with EDI.
Did i say ending differences? I meant what differences happen during the whole game. Like siding with only the Geth or Quarians, sabotage the genophage cure, doing a game where Liara is my LI, that kind of different things.

Which will somehow cure the fetal alcohol syndrome that seems to infect some people who pretend to not understand ANY disappointment with the ending.

And this just might be the lynchpin to all this hate on the ending. Javik was VITAL to the story, and the ending as well. I hadn't even realized that because he was with me the whole time. Good catch.

What if you can kill aria and run omega? =O

He really should have been included. I mean he does add a lot, you get insight into what his time was like, what was the same, what was different. You get his views on everything which can affect how you feel about the ending and what choices you make through the game because his people have gone through all this before.
But nah, let's make him a DLC character.

Omega DLC? So we get to fight faceless Cerberus grunts on a brown rock. Awesome.

Javik mentioned/implied it multiple times.
I spoke with every single crew member after every single mission, even non-priority missions, so many people might have missed this. Or maybe didn't have the DLC character.
That is something people should be angry about... to have such an integral part of the backstory as DLC. Inexcusable.
Exactly. This should be in the OP.
Accurate summary of 50% of the game, actually.

You would think Bioware would respond to the fans and settle this thing once and for all. I mean, if this lame ending is it, at least stand by your game and admit that they see no need to fix anything. I'd feel better about that than what they are currently doing with all this lowbrow, vague mess. Man I was having a great week with the exception of the monstrosity of a bad ending, that is Mass Effect 3.

Boiling Omega down to a "brown rock" is pretty ignorant.
Omega was one of the most interesting places in all of Mass Effect. Showed the seedier Blade Runner side of the universe.
I'm sure some enterprising PC modders already have that in the works. It shouldn't be too hard to turn off his invincibility, right?

Still not interested. Let's all save the meaningless space station that will be destroyed/abandoned/dead in a few days anyway
cerberus grunts are still preferable to Flood enemies or the geth troopers imo.

I agree, it isn't very compelling unless there's an ending rewrite.
The vague remarks all come from public sources just over a week since the released the game. It's a fairly long RPG. It's not surprising that they don't want to talk about it in areas like twitter and spoil it for others.
