I beat the game. Just now, right now. All I can focus on right now is the ending. I will complain about one other thing though.
I got accosted for sexual relations by THREE different crew members, people I have no interest in whatsoever in three consecutive cabin scenes all of which was about five minutes or so. Just no, please stop. I don’t want that. Why are you trying to get me laid so much, Mass Effect? I don’t any anymore sex j’s! I have Garrus! Do not force feed me your sex bots! D=
Now then, onto what’s got me so worked up.
The ending. I’d like to point out that despite what outcome you choose, you never truly see the results. This leaves me with even more questions than I had going in, most of which are only explained in each scenario by the Normandy crashing onto a random, lush planet and stand around for a bit…okay. That explains nothing. That contributes nothing. That merely leaves me pondering in a black void where no answers can be found. Only more stupidity.
For one, why was the Normandy in space? Like, outside of our solar system? Because it was. It totally was. You can tell because the Normandy was clearly flying away from earth, despite the fact that that’s where the Normandy was meant to be (where else would the Normandy be going? Why would Joker ever leave earth during this CRUCIAL battle? Why are all my squadmates suddenly on the Normandy and not in London fighting the remaining reaper forces like I assumed they were after jettisoning myself into the Citadel? WHY)? Joker is obviously trying to outrun the Crucibles blast, but why does he end up on a wonderful lush planet? That’d take a serious jump through a Mass Relay and those are all being destroyed once the Crucible starts. I’m not even certain if any planets are super close to a mass relay so you could crash land (which should have killed Joker…because he has a bone thing that is never more of a problem than it needs to be). So all this paragraph comes down to is WHY was the Normandy and my squadmates in space outrunning the thing that came out of the thing and HOW do they end up on some random planet where they are likely to be stranded for the rest of their lives?
In fact, I’ll just point to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDSwW7jflAQ&feature=player_embedded which pretty much gives a clear run through of what immediately went through my mind as I ran through the ending segments, albeit with much more loud and angry observations. All in all, the ending was not only confusing, bleak and anti-climatic but it also completely destroyed AN ENTIRE GALACTIC CIVILIZATION. The Mass Relays are destroyed in whatever outcome you are forced to choose, your team mates are stranded, Wrex and many other aliens are stranded on earth to deal with the immense destruction there, and everything Shepard did to save the galaxy, to preserve the lives and culture of all those who live in it, is destroyed in one really weird conversation with a space child…whom no one cared about. All that effort you went through to save the galaxy, yeah, it’s [b]gone[/b]. Done. I feel so satisfied and fulfilled.
I am so bitter right now, I apologize.

More from Angry Joe. Honestly, the end makes sense now.
Those Twitter posts at the end imo are quite strong indication on what to come. Especially the part about keeping your saves.
Shame to have the final part of the game on DLC, but it’s actually pretty cool how they did the ending now…. even if it probably makes no business sense, especially if this DLC would cost.
And yes, if this is true, i did take the right option. :DEDIT: If you read Mass Effect twitter you can actually find every other tweet at least talking about DLC that will bring closure in April.
My biggest problem is the reasoning behind the choices. So, if i choose destroy, the option that I’ve been trying t achieve, not only do the reapers die, but so does EDI and the geth. BUT, if I choose control, the path chosen by the illusive man, reapers die, but noone else dies. That pretty much justifies the attempted murder of the council, attempting to incite a war between krogans and turians, attacking civilians, invading the citadel, performing experiments on refugees, and indoctrinating it’s own soldiers. And if you choose the middle option, you’re basically saying that Saren was right all along. The game is saying that Shepard might as well have just done nothing from the start, and everything would be hunky-dory.
Also, since I haven’t seen any words of respect for him on this thread, i will do the honors:
His Name Was Marauder Shields. Rest in peace, good friend.
