hahah.

So again as with from 1 to 2, none of the shit you do in Mass Effect ever really matters. It' just whether you want to role play as an asshole or not?

Final battle should have been Martin Sheen vs Keith David in a fist fight.

I'm having too much damn fun as a support fire soldier using an M-37 Falcon "Assault Rifle". One of my past games with full extraction, I drew off two ravagers on a transmit objective(the other three were on it) in the city map and then proceeded to utterly slaughter the ravagers with head on shots,because even if the swarmer sacs broke, the next shot I fire from the falcon would kill them. My only issue? not enough damn ammo. I get 10/clip, default total is 10/10, so I really need to roll up that Ammo Mod V for an additional 4 shots for a total of 18 more ammo.

So...yeah, uh, M37 Falcon AR + Scorpion + Soldier == ALL THE GRENADES, ALL OF THEM!

Finished the game last night. It has honestly been no fun playing on Insanity since the end of Cronos Station and these last two missions were ridiculous. Hell, even the moment before the beam was hard with three husks and a marauder coming after you.

I'm also pissed at the endings and literally limping along to get to them.

My wife made me play through all three endings and

You don't like fighting multiple Banshees and Brutes all at once in a giant clusterfuck, GT?

Marauders also apparently replacing Cannibals as the Reaper grunt troop was great fun too. I loved how the first time the missiles were ready was right when I got done killing the pair of Banshees and five Marauders appeared behind me to gun me down.

I hate fighting Banshee's by myself in MP.
I could just use the missile launcher but that feels like cheating,
do you fight more than just 2 at a time on Gold maps? I haven't gone beyond Silver yet

considering that Silver's thrown at me up to 3 Ravagers, 2-3 brutes, and a Banshee(possibly 2, depending on brute count) in the same wave...

Jesus Christ Bioware. How do you fail at making an ending *this badly?*

According to a friend of mine who has a friend in the industry, EA had a committee setup to "watch" the Mass Effect 3 development team, and they would make mandates for things that the Mass Effect 3 team would have to add in... they were also the ones who had them remove Javik from the game to make him Day one DLC. He also said that they had a hand in the creation of the ending.

That isn't true. You actually can see the complete creation process in the Making Of App. Everything that is in the ending shows up in the lead creator's notes. He specifically based it off of... sigh.. The Matrix + Brave New World.

The Day One DLC thing was probably EA tho'.

So everyone, except PS3 people, should check on multiplayer to see which random N7 weapon they earn.

Whelp, beat Mass Effect 3 last night. And I might be one of the few players not bitching about the ending. Yes, I'd have liked more closure with the characters I'd grown close to over the three games, yes I'd have liked more than BLARG BLUE RED OR GREEN END in terms of the ending cinematic. But the game actually held my interest all the way through.

My only real complaint is as follows...
Illusive Man Spoilers ahead, as well as minor late-mission spoilers

...and it's not even THAT big of a complaint, because I kinda had a feeling how the confrontation would go down.

As for the ending itself?
WHICH COLOR DID I CHOOSE

I can certainly see more endings being made available through DLC, though. We've been here before, although with Fallout 3. It's not like they can't drastically alter the game now, yanno?

Also, I love how the post for that congratulations is written in-character for Hackett and not just a generic "good jerb."

Warning: Massive, massive spoilers for the entire game if you haven't played it. This is one of the better fan theories I've seen, with superb editing and sound arrangement.

The Indoctrination Theory is genius. If Bioware really did go that route, then ME3 really will be an AAA game in all regards.

Well, I'm convinced on a meta-scale perspective.
Makes me figure the Stargazer character is Bioware letting us know that there's a "real" ending coming soon in DLC. Sometime. Eventually. And that will be the true ending.

A nice theory, but it still doesn't provide a satisfying conclusion. It ends on a cliffhanger for starters.

For the end of a trilogy, I want a concrete and conclusive ending.

And I think the theory gives Bioware more credit than they deserve, IMO.

The theory also lends strength to the rumored "The Truth" DLC that was "leaked" (take with a spoon of salt) a while ago. "The Truth" is supposedly the real conclusion/ending to ME3.

The indoctrination theory is really just fans grasping for straws. The Final Hours behind the scenes material makes it pretty clear that Bioware/Walters didn't have it in mind when they wrote the different color endings.

Of course that doesn't mean that Bioware isn't going to jump on the bandwagon trying to mend some of the bullshit they produced. Not to mention the prospect of more money for them and EA.
