Wow, it's been a while, but I just want to throw my two cents out there about the widely hated Mass Effect 3 ending. As you all know, we here at the Antiverse don't care about spoilers, so consider yourself warned:

What was anyone really expecting for the ending? You can't tell me that a "good beats evil, everyone lives happily ever after, no brainer" ending would be satisfying after 3 games and 5 years of playing them. On the other hand, you can't tell me a "reapers win, thanks for playing but you were screwed all along" ending would make sense either. I think they did a perfectly satisfactory job of playing it right down the middle, giving us something we didn't expect. The reapers are defeated, but we had to sacrifice so much to achieve that.

Also, there are several different endings. Everything gets blown up no matter what, but to me, the "real" ending will be where Shepard chooses to destroy the Citadel, and after the cutscene where the Normandy crash lands on that planet and everyone ends up being ok, it goes back to the Citadel wreckage and Shepard wakes up. To me, that's the most satisfying ending. A lot of people die, a lot of stuff is destroyed, civilization pretty much returns to square one (which happens no matter what), but all the people we care about survive.

Look people, this is just the way it is. Begging EA and Bioware to change the ending is just stupid. It's the ending, deal with it.
