I thought it was very colorful

Read my blogs!!! I address this several times.

Haven't finished yet. Though I'm really close.

Jim, I daresay you've opened a can of worms with this one...

No closure(which is ironic given the Anderson scene could have been the end and it would have had closure), plot holes, going against major themes of the series, your choices mean nothing, the Reapers reasoning is horribly off(and trying to understand the Reapers was a bad idea)

I loved the entire game, including the ending. And I hope that any "content initiatives" don't change the current ending, instead just adds to the story. Like what Lost did with the extra scene that was on the DVD of the final season.

Great. I actually liked them. The recitative of the various endings was beautiful, the stark imagery juxtaposed what was such a fragile galaxy. I think Bioware literally couldn't have done a better job, and I would rather complain about real matters such as Pandas being hunted for their fur.

The ending itself wasn't my problem. It was the lack of closure. I was fine with Shepard dying, but what happened to my team? Did the various races manage to rebuild? Can the Quarians and Geth get along? You get the idea. WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS??? *breaks down sobbing* Just...just leave me...just leave me alone... Also, the whole deal with multiplayer being pretty much a necessity to get a good ending was a pain (my internet is so slow I can't play online).

Just remember, Marauder Shields tried to save you from the ending, but you didn't listen... you just shot. You didn't know what would happen, what horrible ending it would be. Just remember Marauder Shields, the true hero of the galaxy.

I thought the endings were okay. Kinda of upset that there isn't an option of ending the game with Shepard being with his/her love interest. But what mostly upset me is you have no idea of what happened to your squad and crew there is just a complete and utter hole when it comes to that also all your choices didn't have an impact in the end only during.

Not to be rude to Jim, but we've kinda been discussing the controversy on every article since the beginning.

I thought the ending was good. If the indoctrination theory is true, it may even be ingenious.

I haven't finished it yet. But what I can say is that all you little crybabies need to shut up and stop complaining so much it's gettin ridiculous!

This pisses me off, they HAD a vision! Let them tell and conclude the story how people want, everyone is never going to be completely satisfied! This is like people forcing J.K. Rowling to change the end of Harry Potter, hope you *** heads are happy, cuz you'll still be b*tching after this

I can describe them in one word: underwhelming.

I thought it was poor, plain and simple. It contradicts many of the themes of Mass Effect, many of the same themes fully explored in the same game. "Organics and Synthetics will always be at war" then explain how I was able to get the Geth and the Quarians to work together, and how EDI and Joker have a romantic relationship. All the choices go directly against anything that my Shepard would do, I would rather just leave the Crucible and fight the Reapers traditionally. Plus, what's with the lack of Harbinger? He just goes zap and leaves? That was pretty anti-climatic. No variations on the endings, I'd love for someone to display all of the 16 supposed endings, because I can only see 3. Plus it's just shameful that they kill off Shepard and then have a prompt on the screen saying "BUI MOAR DEE ELL CEE", it really just makes them seem like money grubbers. Plus, what happened to Garrus? What's going on with Wrex? Where's Javik? Who knows! They're all stranded on Earth now and half of the species there can't even eat human food (what's left of it anyway) and their supplies can't last forever, so congrats Shepard you've doomed the galaxy to an even slower death than before "BUI ALL TEH DEE ELL CHEE"

I think I picked the most straight forward ending and it was great. But I can see what people got all pissed about and I honestly don't agree. People should have more creative vision and leave everything to imagination. That way the endings will stick with you longer and be more memorable.

basically no closure... more questions left unanswered like *SPOILERS* all the mass relays blew up? wtf I thought only 1 of the choices blew up the relays, that's what the crucible child said, so is everyone that's on a ship or using technological equipment gone to: guns, ships, etc? or just synthetic beings: Geth, Reapers, people with synthetic implants

certainly wasn't the direction I would have gone, and I was let down by it. It wasn't terrible though, it is hard to bring an end to something with such high expectations. I think it was better than many of the people screaming for it to be changed make it seem.

The open ended part of it allows you to keep it as your story...what happens after the end is left open for your imagination.

I thought Mass Effect 3 was a really important move. I am so tired of bland stories in gaming, so I was really enthralled by everything that happened in Mass Effect 3.

Initially I was not even excited over the third installment as it followed the second and weakest part in the series; I found Mass Effect 2 really mundane and formulaic, and it was a huge surprise to feel myself truly absorbed by Mass Effect 3 and its story.

The ending was really gripping, and it haunts me to this day. I really feel that the artistic vision must not be undermined by the displeasure of so called fans. If the ending is changed it will fracture the artistic integrity of the developers, and set a really poor example for other developers. The game will be degraded from art to product.
