I haven't read about the ending yet or beaten it but fuck that. How many games can they do that for? The ending for 2 was kind of weak because just wait it will all resolve in 3 and now the same thing is going to happen with this one?

For Shepard, it's resolved. It's kind of a dick way to think about it, but they did achieve what they set out to do.

Ending spoiler.

Resolved..? He woke up on Earth. :\

If your PEM Rating is high enough, it shows Shep shifting around, but that's a hidden ending. The main three endings consider Shep killed.

Yeah. My Shep survived. That's the ultimate good-ending. It's the best possible ending. So Shep isn't dead. Story-wise, he survived. It isn't my fault that not everyone did well enough to get the special ending.

If Hollywood Mortal Kombat has taught us anything, it's that the only ending that matters is the one Bioware runs with.

Though, that brings up an intriguing prospect. What if ME4 continues with your decisions from ME3? If the EMS rating was high enough, you continue as such with that ending. If not, it coincides with whichever ending you wound up with. This really opens up some potential.

I hoped they'd do that after two. If you somehow fluffed up entirely and had Shep die during the ending of two, I hoped you'd play as someone else if you continued that save.

I thought you could only choose destroy to get the ending with Shepard surviving.

Yup.

I think it'll be intriguing if they do a ME4. Especially if Shepard returns as the main character or if they introduce a new lead. I guess it all depends on which ending is considered canon.

This, so fucking much. "Oh what's that only 5 seconds left for extraction? HANG ON I GOTTA TAKE DOWN THIS ATLAS BY MYSELF WITH NO ROCKET LAUNCHERS TOO FAR AWAY FROM EXTRACTION ZONE FOR POINTS!!!"

[King Ellis]

We must play tonight, if people aren't too busy debating the merits of the ending.

[Your Mom]

No! I will be gone

[Benji]

I just came off, probs be back on about 10-30.

[SeanDMan]

Bwahahaha at that last one.

[Summers]

That's fantastic.

[R.W.]

Grrr, keep losing my connection to the game during wave 10 of multiplayer.

[Herr Matzat]

Angry Joe did a few nice videos on ME3. It´s very painful to see all the official quotes by the developers, see how different the game turned out and than see people (even other developers who should have a little bit of smarts) complain about some kind of artistic freedom that should be respected...

There also is one about the indoctrination theory. I am actually certain at this point that they planed on selling us a new ending/real via dlc all along because of that theory. I just don´t know how this ending can be saved, there is so much that needs to conclude and i don´t see them adding a 5 hour DLC (not as in one play through but based on the idea of actually having different outcomes that get illustrated and have a way for you to get to them)

[Herr Matzat]

This either is massive spoilers of things to come or massive attention whoring. Read at your own risk.

I am actually pritty certain it´s just trolling. Right now i am just eating up stuff that tells me what happens after the game "ended"...

Anyone doing multi tonight? I played a bunch today but I still need like 10% readiness to get where I want to be to finish single player

[Kaney]

I'd be happy to join you in like half an hour to an hour, or so if that suits you.

[Your Mom]

I can make that (Y)
