I brought Liara with me charging towards the light beam. Many people here said harbinger kills whoever follows Shepard into the fray but she still showed up in the tropical world together with Joker.
My ideal ending, The Illusive Man kills Shepard and the Reaper wipe out organic lifeforms. All companions mati katak. Joker and Normandy blown to bits.
No little kid who claims to be the catalyst or grandpa and kid staring at stars.
Just ice cold eradication. Crucible becomes nice trophy for Reaper.

I didnt like it at all, as it is very boring and at the same time, felt that it is shoved at your face to get good ending.
I pretty much gave up on the game after finishing it once, mainly due to the forced MP and inconclusive ending.
I chose the destroy option. Reapers gone. Shepard gone. Normandy crashes on unknown island. The END. Uninstall.
For me, it is as simple as that. I did what I was supposed to do and moved on. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Still worth my money since I enjoyed 95% of it, last 5% is full of turd but that was the same with The Witcher 2 which also had a very lousy ending.

So you much rather EA sold you an unfinished game and then hold you hostage for DLCs for ending? Get your real ending here for $20!
Please, this is more than Bioware and EA here. This is about not letting them set a precedent for doing this kind of shit in the first place. This isn't even optional DLC anymore. This is part of the core game.
Indoctrination theory sounds all good and true, but there are evidence that Bioware cut that ending out because of time issues. The evidence you do see are remnants of that.
There is already a precedent for this kind of shit. Its standard practice for game industry right now.
It first started of as a lame horse armor pack haha, then it evolved into cutting up part of the storyline and repackaging it as a DLC *cough* Deus Ex Human Revolution THE MISSING LINK *cough*. Oh the irony! Now it has degenerated into cutting up the ending of a game and then selling it as a DLC.
Perfect marketing strategy. Most gamers are sheeps who will buy anything that reputable devs throw at them.

Missing Link is still alright, as even without playing Missing Link, you dont feel like you have missed out a chunk in the storyline. Mass Effect 3 on the other hand, feels like they have taken out a few chunks of the game to make you pay for it later on.
EA is just greedy.
Actually, Eidos Montreal tipu you orang semua.
They potong Upper Hengsha, Montreal and Missing Link from the original game and then repackaged those into DLCs. Then later they say uhhh...no time...budget constraints, we do this during free time after we released DX HR which is utter bullshit.
So even if it doesn't impact the story, it was something that was supposed to be part of the original game. You got ripped of because of the shitty precedent left by unscrupulous devs in the past.
And you missed out one, there were suppose to be India as a hub after the ending. So what if they cut the rest of the content? It was a fairly enjoyable game, compared to Mass Effect 3 plot holes ridden game with a redundant iOS sort of pay2win MP.
At least Deus Ex HR ends with a reasonable ending, despite the last 1 hour is also pretty terrible too. At the same time, without a gawd awful MP shoved into it.
Pretty much every game has it own share of content being cut, but none has bring it to the level EA is doing now. What have they done with ME3 is just disgusting especially the day 1 CE exclusive Prothean DLC and the Galactic Readiness system. Your decisions in the game doesnt matter, as what it counts at the end is whether you have played enough MP or not. Did BF or CoD halve your experience points in multiplayer because you didnt want to play their single player campaign?
Yes but that doesn't make Eidos Montreal completely innocent. Many people also got pissed at the way the game turned out. Omitted content and one way street boss fights. Prothean DLC is a travesty but I never really bothered with the ancient alien race with African accent hahahaha. MP for Galactic Readiness System is a dirty tactic trying to force players to try their shitty MP haha. Better play Battlefield 3 la.
Moreover, Deus Ex HR's ending is somewhat similar to Mass Effect 3's ending. One road with many lanes
Instead of different color, you get different slideshows wathafark hahaha.
Not the final fight with 4 banshees and a reaper shooting lasers at you?

This part I even had problems on normal.
This part is very simple only. You are not required to kill all or any. Just take cover and wait for EDI to give the green light then run to the control panel once hammer weapon system syncs with normandy.
Here are all the quotes that Bioware is promising that the ending will be complex, not a typical A,B and C sort. Look what happen.
I think i shouldnt take EA as a whole seriously from now. Broken promises are everywhere.
This is one is the biggest offender:
"Of course you don’t have to play multiplayer, you can choose to play all the side-quests in single-player and do all that stuff you’ll still get all the same endings and same information, it’s just a totally different way of playing"
Since when this is true, as there are no way to get the best ending without that terrible multiplayer. And the side quests are even worse than anything else i can imagine. They are so boring and tedious to do.
I stopped listening to them after the C&C Tiberian Twilight fiasco. What a disaster that was. An abomination.
Mass Effect 3 is pretty horrible as a whole for me. The single player is too short and too grindy in the side quests. The forced but boring multiplayer. Stupid EMS system. Boring characters and little conversation choices. The whole game feels so dumbed down.
Feels like Mass Effect 3 is made for everyone, including those trigger happy MP only people, but they have compromised the single player's quality at the same time.

I think this is my official ending. The fan made ending is far far better than original.
Well, Bioware's games have always been very linear for the sake of telling a good story. KOTOR and BG2 are good examples. However, in the past, their games have featured rich conversations with a myriad of dialogue options, charming characters and spectacular side quests that occasionally branches out into something bigger.
Unfortunately, in their pursuit to make the game more accessible to the masses, they decided to simplify most of the things that made their past games great. So now it's more like go to planet X and kill A or go to planet Y and scan for item B. And it goes on, over and over again. Most of ME3's conversations are also very straightforward, it seemed the writers got very lazy and just decided they wanted to conclude the story ASAP so conversations are a one way street.
its a protest in the form of cupcakes with different colors. (just like the ending)
Yeah I know. But I don't think Bioware is gonna change their attitude towards making better games in the future.
If they (the fans) did that just to nudge Bioware to make a decent "ending DLC" for closure, I'd say they are the biggest fools alive and have just been indoctrinated by EA's money-grabbing business model.
Just watch the fan made endings and be done with it. An "ending DLC" will provide more justifications for other company's to follow suit in the future.

too late. Bethesda did it first with Fallout 3 Broken Steel, Ubisoft did it with PoP Epilogue, Square-Enix did it with FFXIII-2, Capcom did it with Asura's Wrath, etc.
at least this ME3 ending is something that fans actually want...or rather, need to move on from bioware.
I stand corrected.
I still see making an ending DLC as something really outrageous. The fans are literally paying for Bioware's mistakes.
OK, sorry we screwed up the ending. Here, pay X amount and get a better ending hahaha. Thank you for your patronage....suckas!!
