I'm quite bummed about this news actually.
I never managed to kill any of my crewmembers through my 5 playthroughs of the ME2 and now they just shove a bittersweet/depressing end down my throat without even a chance of a happy ending? What utter bullshit I say.
After being minor "spoiled" like that,what's even the point to bother with Multiplayer to help your cause more against the Reapers if the ending will be depressing no matter what path you choose to take?(Paragon/Renegade).
PS:...I'm really thinking of cancelling my preorder because of this.

I really can't take seriously anything I've seen or heard, considering how "leaked" "evidence" was used against BioWare in the DLC arguments saying that they were being "evil" and taking out game bits that were important, when in actuality, the leaked bits ended up proving the whiners wrong.
That was a given that that would be the case.

Despite my teasing, I actually do agree for once. I think the endings sound pretty good.Plinglebob said:While I have no doubts I'll be labeled as the same, I fully agree with MiloP. I've always enjoyed the sort of stories where people fight for the greater good even if they know they are screwed and as such, after checking out the spoilers, this sounds like the sort of ending I will like.Canadish said:Biodrones parroting propaganda right from their Dear Leaders mouth thread?MiloP said:

I also admit I do like the idea of Bioware going against the grain they helped mark out of "PC Savior of the World" by making it so you don't quite manage it.
Apart from your choices meaning nothing, that sucks.
Also: It's leaked public now. We'll have it all confirmed in a few hours.
Somehow, im not surprised.SillyBear said:
*Edit*
Allow me to elaberate. I knew, not thought about it, but outright knew, that the end was going to be the end. And that the end would be serious, people would die. I actually hoped that I could get a ending where Shepard suicide bombs the head reaper or something like that. I felt that that was really the best kind of ending. Oh sure, I like the happy "everyone but the bad guy lives" ending like the next guy, but those ending just dont carry the same wieght as one where you can save everyone.
They did warn people about it some time ago. They did say that ME3 ending will piss off people. And back then everyone was like "Whoo! Drama! Yes! We likes!"
Now They know the ending, and They are pissed...but no one cheers?
Oh gamers. Your lack of integrity is touching.

Damn.....they could try spacing their ships out just a little bit.Canadish said:Need proof? Screen shot time baby!
Now in edited Spoilered Edition.
The Reaper that takes the first shot is going to get the biggest multi-kill in the history of ever.
I simply avoid all info about the game, if people go looking for stuff like that it's there own damn fault.
I've said it before. The best ending for me is the Reapers win or you win, but the galaxy is utterly wrecked. It drives home that you were fighting a losing battle against an unstoppable threat. As much as you fought to change things, an unstoppable threat is unstoppable. It isn't a tale of victory, it is just another Cycle completed by the Reapers.Canadish said:Despite my teasing, I actually do agree for once.

People bitching on the Bioware forums? Is that something unexpected? They've been doing that for the past couple years.
I haven't read the exact spoilers and I won't. What's considered to be a bad ending is always a matter of opinion. No matter how many people think it's bad, you'll always find others who like it. I surely won't cancel my pre-order just because of a fanbase who's done nothing but complain about every single thing from the game and I don't give a shit about most of those complaints.
I'll play it on my own and then decide whether I like it or not and I definitely won't judge it based on second-hand information.
Besides, even if it is bad, as long as the rest of the story is good I don't mind a bad ending too much. I've had a few games/movies/books, where the ending was bad but the rest was a good story.

The problem with that is you'd otherwise be right (look at games like TES, for example) but for the fact the leaked info indicates the journey right up to the PoNR in ME3 just doesn't matter that much. In the end, you're still hunting for a Space MacGuffin that fixes things right up good...and negates the importance and long-term consequences of Shepard's history and previous choices/actions.MiloP said:
Or, as I like to think of it, the fundamental theme and innovation Bioware claimed to bring to the table with the Mass Effect IP.
What does it matter if Shepard saved or annihilated the Rachni, or destroyed or kept the Collector base, for example, if it all boils down to finding Magical Martian Space Bomb? It doesn't.
I don't get it. What is so hard about consolidating your forces and assets over the course of the trilogy and then engaging and defeating the main reaper force on Earth? We don't need some crazy weird/stupid twists or turns. This does not need to be complicated. I was under the impression that that is where they were going with the war assets and galactic readiness systems, but apparently I was wrong. >.>Eacaraxe said:
