I just beat all the Mass Effect games, and holy shit, you guys weren't kidding about ME3's ending. Even the extended cut doesn't make it great. I can only imagine how shat on you felt back when you didn't have the extended cut.
And what the hell is up with that sprint animation in the third one?

I just beat your mom, and holy shit, you weren't kidding about the fact that there would be so much blood. Even putting a rag over her doesn't make it great. I can only imagine how shat on you will feel when you find her in your fridge, dead.
use your anger to boycott andromeda.
You don't even know, user. There hasn't been a multiplat series that stirred up as much hype as Mass effect since the third game.
It was everywhere, and within a year you could buy me3 for about 10 bucks.
It's such a shame because plenty of the game was fine and the basic idea of balancing the needs of the various races was right on board with the themes of the first game.
Unfortunately, Shepard needed to bang dudes and make political statements that no one wanted in a space game with blue vaginas.
Here, let me write 3 better endings:
1 the reapers are destroyed and the galaxy is at peace, the intergalactic infrastructure is still stabding. your various decisions throughout the game determine a ~10 year epilogue where we see the krogans rise again or die out, the quarians settle a new homeworld, etc... Depending on your choices, there is a threat from one race or there is relative peace, either way the galaxy moves forward. Shep survives. This is the 'altruistic' ending.
Option 2
Shep becomes a super reaper and devours the reaper fleet and a decent chunk of galactic biomass before shutting off. The cycle continues, but this time there's nothing to stop roboshep from laying waste to developing worlds when he wakes up. Also,the souls or minds of the crewmates are stuck within the reaper as well and torment shep in his endless dreams. Eldritch ending.
Option 3
Shep fucks a reaper
The reaper fleet is fought to a standstill and a peace is brokered. The deal is, the reapers will stop eating people and will start breaking themselves down into new forms of life, so long as that life remains unmolested on developing worlds, and that the first piece of this new life will come from the seed of the one who bested the reapers.
Cue alien sex scene with a metal tentacle monster. Shep dies in the attempt.
>Option 3
>Shep fucks a reaper
This is the way it should have ended, in retrospect.
You almost have to admire the balls on their PR department though...
>the ending was the problem
>not that the game went to shit after the first game
I miss those days
That's gutsy. Jesus.
What did the extended cut add?
I just beat 2 and pirated 3. Is it really that bad ?
>after the first game
Are we pretending that ME1 was any better than the sequels?
The problem is the idea behind it, you hype a war with the reapers for 3 games, you make us do bitchwork for the entirety of the 3rd one and it barely matters outside of narrative.
People didn't want some existential bullshit they wanted to fight a war with the reapers and kick their ass, instead we got a literal deus ex machina solving all of our problems and the ending we get is based on a press of a button instead of the cumulative result of our actions.
Also Cerberus and the IM lost their fucking mind in between games, because you can't have the human supremacist faction actually be helpful, that would be too racist for current year bioware.
this person retarded?
Yes. Don't do it. You will always be mad. You will never not be mad.
The journey was good so who cares?
It was an avarage game, but still better than the sequels
Who here picked IM STILL FUCKING MAD as their class?
You did see past Harbinger's lies and picked Destroy, right?
Shut the fuck up you fag, it's not only the ending, besides one or two moments the whole fucking game is a train wreck.
Who here still plays the MP occasionally? It must be the least shit part of the game.
>its not the only ending
Which color did you pick?
Re-read. You've misquoted him.
Wew lad i finished 1 and 2 but never played the third one, today i started the first one and spent an hour trying to make a good looking shepard, i gave up
Sense
>another post senselessly parroting the "le me3 trainwreck choo choo XD" reddit bandwagon
Form your own opinions. If ME3 came out before the internet existed you would've never complained about the game's narrative.
Remember Tali being a stock photo of some model?
Now you get to join us in deluding ourselves into believing Andromeda will bring old ME back when it will just be a complete nu-bioware shitfest
is the trilogy worth going through again now that the dust has long settled and I'm not an angry teenager anymore? i kinda want to do a renegade go through of femshep
...
Stop playing shit games like mass effect its not good for you.
...
What. The OP clearly did form his opinion and found that he agreed with what Sup Forums often says.
...
There are rumors that we might get a current-gen remastered collection
>The OP clearly did form his opinion and found that he agreed with what Sup Forums often says.

Is this post-ironic bait?
...
...
Listen here you shitlord. The options aren't A, B, or C, so stop labeling them as such. They're red, green, and blue. Get your facts straight before you make an ass of yourself.
am I the only person in the world who didn't mind the ending?
>this is actually in the game
>The ending was written last minute by one guy in the attempts to end the series on a DEEP and PHILOSOPHICAL ENDING
>turns out to be absolutely retarded and shat on every player who invested their time into the series and killed the franchise.
Mass effect is what happens when you think you are too big to fail. Sure do that shitty reaper ending but if they had the foresight to put in a generic Shepard saves the day here's the epilogue on what happened to everyone else, Mass Effect would be considered one of the best RPG series just from that alone. However, that ending was so bad that it pretty much killed anyone's appetite on the series and made anyone who wants to play ME1 and ME2 angry at how useless everything they've done are.
ME3 without that ending could have ended the series on a weaker game but memorable note but instead we got an abomination.
Wrex and Mordin were the only good part of the whole Mass Effect series.
I have a question: Where the fuck were the Rachni assuming Shep showed mercy to the queen?
on the cutting room floor
Why care about the ending? It's a game not an M. Knight Shyamalan movie.
They send you an email and that is literally it.
In the war assets menu :^)
>There hasn't been a multiplat series that stirred up as much hype as Mass effect since the third game
Meh. Most fans got bored after the second game. Maybe I missed it, but can't remember there being that much hype. Maybe it's because I wasn't hyped.
You weren't here when TORtanic happened?
This is why it's still heralded to this day. The collective retardation of Biodrones on the forum was worth gold.
>Rachni
REEE
still triggers me.
>your choices will matter
Ok, cool
>Choose to kill Rachni queen
>lol we cloned her or some other spacemagic, fuck you
>Choose to show mercy and the queen claims never to come back
>lol she's intdoctrinated fuck you
It played out EXACTLY the same, no matter what you picked.
The mods didn't help that either.
END OF RINE
IMO what should have happened with the Rachni queen is that during the attack on Earth, a Rachni ship shows up, broadcasts something along the lines of "Shepard showed us mercy, today we repay that debt.", then suddenly thousands of Rachni ships pour through the relay and engage the Reaper forces.
>TORtanic
For all its' talked about i'm surprised there aren't more artifacts from it.
The best part was them pretending the extended cut was going to fundamentally change the ending for the better, and then it was just "lol, you clearly didn't understand our deep writing, we'll just spend three times as long elaborating on our train-wreck of an ending."
Deus Ex Machina is taboo for a reason, it ranks up with "and it was all a dream" for lazy endings.
Yeah, or just keep the indoctrination part, but don't copy the exact same storyline if you chose to kill her (like I did).
It's fucking infuriating, how did they fuck up that bad?
Because they focused more on the SJW bullshit over gameplay and story.
...
That wasn't funny or creepy it was just pathetic.
You could tell that a 20 year old intern majoring in communications died a little with that exchange.
...
A bit more explanation for the nonsense at the end, and a new ending option to reject the crucible and fight the reapers which shits on you even more.
>tfw finished ME2 last night
>did Liara DLC last
>dat romantic scene in captains quarters, with talk about the future
>remember ME3
felt so bad after closing the game, game shouldn't make you feel this way
Well OP, I was going to thank you for reminding me that I'm still mad. But I hadn't forgotten. And never will.
...
what the fuck was that
Wow
just dont understand what they were thinking, why ruin the whole series like that, why why why
Oof, lol
EA wanted quick money, and made them shit out a game in 2 years, that usually requires 3 to do properly. They've been doing this forever, and people keep falling for it. Why do you think so many people boycott EA? And yet for every person who boycotts EA, there's probably 10 more uneducated consumers that don't know their track record, and fall for their bullshit.
Reminder: If you plan on playing ME Andromeda, make sure you do nothing but pirate it.
Shadow Broker was the pinnacle of the series, loved all the throwbacks and references in that, especially when they talk about Omi-gel.
take away a year of development and you get incomplete mess like ME3
>EA
>Ubisoft
>Activision
I avoid these like the plague, and on the VERY rare coincidence that I fancy playing one I pirate it.
And Arrival DLC was a sneak peak at what will ME3 look like
>bunch of cutscenes with no interaction
>confusing story
>fighting bunch of humans in heavy armor
Activision is the easiest of those 3 boycotts. They release nothing but lowest common denominator trash, with absolutely no depth.
EA has some gold every now and then, but they always shit all over it.
Ubisoft does have some games I'd like to play every now and then, but then I remember that their DRM will fucking nuke my computer. I don't even bother reading up on their games anymore.
I just don't get it.
Mass Effect is one of the most casual franchises in video games but it was somehow enjoyable at the same time. Even now I keep getting the occasional urge to replay through it all but it wouldn't feel the same.
How did Mass Effect get so popular and how does it stick around?
Well , if you can't change something . own it.
Okay, which SFM porn scene is OP's crop from?
No competition. No other games have gone for the "Captain Kirk Simulator" niche ME captured.
Like the other user said. ME3 wasn't really you fighting in a war against the Reapers. For one, the alliance shouldn't have been decimated that quickly since Shepard told them multiple times. Cerberus going full rogue was dumb as shit. Apparently you and only you can take on waves and waves of reapers while "the strongest fleets in the galaxy" get fucking rolled. The battle for Earth seemed too cliche and downright tacky. And the endings pretty much said "damn we didn't expect you to last this long, guess you can decide how the galaxy ends up for centuries to come"
I mean, fuck, I spent over 30 hours building everything to the highest level of victory I possibly could, only to be shown that no one but Garrus was smart enough to actually fix this shit.
I haven't seen maleshep's animations, but I assumed femshep's atrocious animations were a result of them only mocapping maleshep and then just copy and pasting to the female model.
Who thought that was okay?
The gameplay is better than the other 2 but once you get to the ending it just all falls apart it ruined the entire series for me. Just play it then stop at the last 15 minutes.
>not the STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE one
Or just don't play it, the real ending is where Shepard sacrifices himself to blow up the collector base during the suicide mission. ME3 doesn't exist.
I am still mad.
I will always be mad.
On my deathbed I will still be mad.
When the seas heat up and the world descends into global catastrophe I will still be mad.
In the afterlife, when I get to the gates of Heaven, St. Peter and his angels will ask me "Are you still mad about ME 3?" And my reply will be "Yes."
When the race of man is no more and the ruins of cities have crumbled into dust I will still be mad.
Ancient alien civilizations will find the smoldering, volcanic corpse of the Earth and decode the ancient secrets of the Internet and they will find this post and so my eternal anger will be brought forth into the far-flung reaches of outer space.
When the last tiny flash of heat in the universe dies and all descends into entropy, my hatred will remain.
>extended cut
I never got this fucking meme, it only made shit worse and even dumber, like that stupid ass trench run scene where they just stop for a second, call the Normandy which is fighting a battle in space bit whatever it comes in like 5 seconds anyways, and it just stands there for minutes while you do your whole melodramatic goodbyes to your companions, all the while harbinger who's supposedly defending the Telenor beam thingy and is just like a couple feet from you and the Normandy just stands there, doesn't even do anything
Fucking fuck I'm still mad
well it did make control to be the less sociopath choice.
>not hooking up with Thane
smhamalanadingdong
Why does the animation look so awkward and stiff?
New Bioware
>the last words a player reads when they beat ME3 is 'Buy More DLC'
Bioware making Javik a DLC character is almost as bas as that bullshit.
I am still fucking mad.
kek
now im sad
...
wtf
The whole game just felt so shit, everything about it from the story to the gameplay. Like at first I was blinded because of how hyped up I was after ME1 and ME2, even had various save files ready for multiple playthroughs.
I was ignoring how bad the game was when I was playing, didn't want to believe it but then Kai Leng, and all those shoe-in characters like Vega and slut Ashley, up until the grand finale ending where everything I just did through a huge trilogy was meaningless. I nearly fucking cried at the ending, not because of it but because of how fucking pointless it was.
Still mad, always will be.
>Shepard is dead
>Play DLC
Given how retarded that popup is at the end, how.. literally how can you do DLC when he's dead? I don't know anyone who would actually want to play more after that ending.
>I can only imagine how shat on you felt back when you didn't have the extended cut.
can we stop pretending that the extended cut fixed anything and didnt make shit worse?
the ending didnt make sense lore wise and no extended stupidity can fix it
