Uh oh.... (Mass Effect)

[s3yang]

I find all of the discussion really quite amusing. It doesn't sound like the perfect butterflies and sunshine ending that I usually prefer, and on some level that's disappointing. The last minute of the game still doesn't invalidate the 200+ hours I'll likely have put into the series by that point. The Game is fun, I intend to enjoy it. Any ending is preferable to No Ending, even if the ending isn't that good.
Perhaps most amusing, though, is the fans on the boards grasping at straws to try and construct a "It's all a hallucination" argument. There's also the rumor that EA is making a "The Real Ending" DLC to be released later.... Personally, if it does happen, I think it would be just as awesome if they pulled a even bigger Gainax Ending with an End-of-Eva style DLC.

So essentially what you're saying is that we should be satisfied with a terrible ending and not complain? I admit, I think the people going 'all the time ever spent on this game is no RUINED' is going too far. On the other hand, I found that the ending literally soured my perception of the series, even more so simply because everything leading up to that point is so very good and involving. The other reason why it's bad? It partly killed my motivation for a replay, because now there this sense of... futility.
