Well beaten by a minute.
Well, ME1 had the slow ass elevator loading. I'm guessing the war room is something to do with an online connection to process the EMS, I noticed it takes a lot longer to go into the room compared to leaving it.

That's how it always happens.

There's only one person who's taken the poll that likes the ending. That's pretty sad.

That and one of his reasons for liking it is false (Garrus didn't exactly "get away" unless that planet has a large supply of dextro food).

*prays to Marauder Shields*
No, Marauder taught me better than that
But... I mean, eliminating organics for the singular purpose of preventing the creation of synthetic races might be a form of genocide in of itself. Yeah, blowing up the mass relays would be a problem, but it's not as if they tried to come up with ways that would not lend to that result.
But then again, they don't want organics to be wiped out by synthetics, despite how the Reapers, at least according to Shepard and Javik's cycles, organics either quelled their problems with synthetics or were well on their way to doing so. Or at the very least, the Reapers have shitty timing and are so bad at their jobs to habitually come after synthetics are not so much of an issue.

Go away, EA employee.

did you just sit there with a huge grin on your face nodding the whole time? You just ate it all up.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.
If you have 20 minutes of free time, watch this.
If you only have 8 minutes free, watch this instead.
Don't come back until you do.
Not an EA employee at all. Been gaming since 85 and am a hardcore gamer. The problem with the trilogy ending is that no matter what people would have complained because the ending that person A wants person B hates. Bioware was in a no win situation.
Between ME3 and SWTOR Bioware has redeemed themsevles for Dragon Age 2. Welcome back Bioware!
the "fuss" is clearly explained in the beginning of this thread if you're willing to listen!

Sigh, any of you guys read this yet http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featu...ng-the-mass-effect-3-ending-is-a-mistake.aspx
That's bullshit.

For someone who isn't an EA or Bioware employee that reads an awful lot like what an EA or Bioware employee would say...
I kid.
No it's not.
Yes.

Now this is gold.
So are you going to sit here and troll or are you at least going to attempt to understand why people really have a problem with the ending before discussing it on the merits?
unless you're enjoying the attention, try read this first n gives your argument after.

I really don't get how people can actually like the ending, at least people who have played since the start. I mean I get people being indifferent towards it or even maybe liking it if they just started with ME3 and didn't care what was going on (I mean it ended in an explosion in the colour of their choosing. Thats kinda cool isn't it? Big booms and pretty colours). I honestly don't understand how a long time ME fan (as in someone who has played and completed all 3 games, and I assume was into the series enough to buy it and complete it within the first few weeks of release) could like the ending in anyway.
Also, guy who loved it, what did you love about it? Why did you think it was so good? Did you play and enjoy the previous 2 games? What choice did you make and do you understand that the others are pretty much the same? I really am interested in trying to understand.

You playing on console?
I didn't know this was a loading screen until I saw the QL on Giantbomb haha.
Not a fan of this Marauder meme. :/
Uh no.
They could have just made an ending that made sense. Some of us might have not liked it, but we could have lived with it. The ending is a kid telling you that you wasted your time playing Mass Effect, because everything you did is irrelevant.
Then you get some pedo-scene after the credits.
EA has no shame. They just got exposed for viral marketing and they don't even try to hide it or calm down.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
It's interesting to me that people who hate the ending describe what they hated, but people who like it just say they like it, and then usually will either insult people who liked it or say that Bioware were in a no win situation.
Yep that's it, people who don't like the ending are thoughtful and always polite, while the people who liked the ending aren't able to describe their feelings because they're clearly just saying it because they're Bioware fanboys.
I like to call it the satisfaction effect. When you're happy with something you tend to have a difficult time pointing out exact things that are good. As for the attacking, it's the opposite case. It's almost as if they are vehemently opposed to conforming. Just my 2 pence.
To me there really isn't a reason other than BioWare just isn't clever enough to do it.
Not to mention it would be a stupid ending anyway. You can't fight off indoctrination as much as you try, all you do is slow down the process. So what would this real ending DLC be if they actually decided to go with indoctrination?
At first I latched onto it because it made more sense than the shit they gave us, but it still doesn't make any sense and wouldn't work.
Because it was discarded, because the only evidence is circumstantial, and because there's a lot of confirmation bias behind it.
The cycle must continue.
- Someone coming saying that they like it. Without saying why.
- Everyone bitches to him just because.
- Someone mentions the indoctrination theory and asks why it's not possible. By the way, he's ignoring a lot of replies on the very same subject. He's also ignoring the "Final Hours" app and a post by one of the writers.
- We all roll our eyes in contempt of the poor soul.

Not a big fan of 4chan in general. The internet also has the tendency to run things into the ground until they aren't funny anymore in record time.
This marauder meme is one of them.

So guys, what are the chances that BioWare announces DLC tomorrow and declares that the original ending of ME3 was an elaborate April Fools joke?
