Haha, never saw that one before. Even today it still amazes me how bad the ending of ME3 was.

I didn't play ME3 till long after it was out and I got it in an Origin sale for $5. MEA is the first BW game since ME2 that I bought at release. I have never played ME3 without the Happy Ending Mod.

After finishing my first play through of ME:A I went back and started a play through of ME1-3 specifically to create the darkest saddest ending possible leading into the events of Andromeda. The Suicide mission is going to be a massacre. Shepard and his crew are going to die, and I will either walk away or destroy the reapers and let it destroy Earth and everything else.

Everytime I replay ME3 I stop before it gets to this point. The moment to stop is at the end of your conversation with Anderson. If the game had ended there i would've been okay with it. An Epilogue based on your EMS/choices would be great aswell. I didn't need to play Shepard anymore, but just a picture of him/her if they survived with their LI would've been gold. Can't believe they wrote that extra 15 minutes that just sucks! Go to hell Starbrat.

Refusal is the one that certainly has the better dialogue. I always got the feeling we were never ever meant to use the crucible as it was of Reaper design and none of the choices worked for our benefit.

Never actually used that ending, just watched a few vids on Youtube. It is not my cup of tea, but i am glad it exists and people got a better ending than what Bioware provided.

The OP video tells us all we need to know of what Bioware thinks of ending haters.

Haha, never saw that one before. Even today it still amazes me how bad the ending of ME3 was. I had a shower thought today because I've been following the ongoing retrospective of the LOST TV show on Youtube which just ended in which they claimed its ending was perhaps the worst ending or one of the worst endings of anything, and considering what it was and how it was building up its end-scenario I thought ME3 is actually even worse. Not only do they actually reference LOST's ending (Main character's vital signs fade as a somewhat surreal "is it, or isn't it real?" scenario enters the frame) they made it even more abrupt and out of character than it was in LOST because nothing sets up the final scene of ME3 except for itself and the fact that there's a bit of foreshadowing that's really hard to predict earlier on. As I understand it, it IS the worst ending in the history of endings the more I think about it. I would love to see someone prove me wrong with another franchise that wasn't just a POS to begin with.

I always got the feeling we were never ever meant to use the crucible as it was of Reaper design and none of the choices worked for our benefit. I like it because it fits the theme of Mass Effect 3, victory through sacrifice. The Reapers always win in some way or rather the catalyst. Destroy kills EDI, and the Geth which is just horrible. I couldn't do that to Joker, or the Quarian that finally had allied with the Geth and would help Tali get a better life on Rannoch, nope. Control is ok'ish - But what exactly happens when Shepard controls these Reapers? And who is she/he as this AI or whatever. It is not explained very well, can't choose it. Synthesis is stupid and creepy. Husks suddenly turned to life, i mean they are husks and empty shell of what they were. Nope nope. Which leaves Refusal, and while i do like it, its also a big middle finger to the fans. The fact that you can trigger it with shooting the child is insulting. Also there were some comments that the next generation wins by using the Crucible, which is wrong! They should've won without it because they had 50k years to prepare. Shepard almost did it in 3 years. Then again brings up the issue with refusal. Shepard says that its ok for everyone to die, and i didn't choose destroy because i wouldn't want to ruin the life of people i love, so refusal is actually off the table. Only part of refusal i like is watching the fleet fight to the bitter end, as they gave their life for the cause. Man now i am just depressed, what a shit show of an ending. Just quit the game at the Anderson conversation and make up the rest.

I was gutted at the backlash at the ME3 ending. We will never again in a BioWare game get a villain who is too powerful for our hero to defeat. Sheppard had one the best send offs i have ever seen in a game, he sacrificed his life in one way or another to try and fix the galaxy the best way he (you) deemed fit. I was shocked BioWare had the balls to kill off such an important and well loved character, but just like Game of Thrones it could of been the catalyst to creating a new breed of hero where us the players would be hoping they would survive rather than knowing they will each game. Sadly the backlash happened, they even retconned one of the endings to have shepard live to please the disney fans.
So from now till the end of BioWare we will always beat the bad guy meaning there is no suspense or fear. Just ye ye by end game i'll put you in a body bag like everyone else because my hero is super cool and the toughest guy/girl in the galaxy.

The MEHEM is the canon ending. I don't know what people are bitching about.

Never actually used that ending, just watched a few vids on Youtube. It is not my cup of tea, but i am glad it exists and people got a better ending than what Bioware provided. It does basically what you said, stops the game after Anderson and cuts out all the Star Child nonsense. I thought it was rather well done considering the limited tools available for mod'ing BW games.

I'll always stand by my kodiak shuttle scene where Shepard is found, sort of like the end of Children of Men when the boat arrives.

This guy nails the sentiment about ending of ME3 hardforum.com/threads/mass-effect-andromeda.1865497/page-48 Dan d about halfway down. "On the story side Mass Effect Andromeda's ending is 100 times better than Mass Effect 3's ending. Not that this says much to be honest. I could film myself wearing an N7 hoodie, sh^tting in a bag, throwing it at the wall while playing the "You'll never be better than Commander Shepard song" and it would be an improvement over ME3's bullshit ending."

Well, yeah, but it'd still be a random ending that concludes itself instead of the story it is a part of but it would be more entertaining for sure.
