    i hope so, because i liked the destroy ending the best and it seems like the one that made the most sense. it was the ONLY ending to have that extra two second scene, fully rendered no doubt. he/she will be back in one way or another. it'd be funny if bioware pulls a halo 4 (another game series that was supposed to be a trilogy).

    That's so true. Everyone who says "OH! Everyone in America runs around waving flags and screaming 'murica" obviously doesn't live in the States. I didn't get what the big deal was with the whole Queen's Jubilee thing but I didn't go around dissing it. Apparently it's only okay to diss America but whatever that's how it is when you live in the land of freedom/sit at the cool kids table.

    Me too lol. But I K R, there's a difference between cliffhangers when you intend to continue a story in another game/movie and bad storytelling because you want to "leave people on their toes 5ever lolol?"

    Just an FYI for anyone who didn't know this yet:

    BioWare confirms that Commander Shepard is ALIVE in the breathing scene after the Destroy "Red" Ending.
    Community Coordinator Tully Ackland made a post in the BioWare Social Forums
    Article Source: IBTimes

    Now release some new DLC that will actually contribute to the ending/make a reunion and I'll be cool as a cucumber.

    ANNOUNCEMENT: A DLC called "Leviathan" was found within the files of the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut DLC.

    http://www.escapistmagazine.com/new...eviathan-DLC-Inside-Mass-Effect-3s-New-Ending

    If you click through the link on the article where it says "BioWare Social Network", it will lead you to the thread where the link to the pastebin including the text is stored.


    Okay my thoughts on the entire thing belowwwwww (THIS IS REALLY LONG):

    First off, regarding the EC cut revised endings. I picked Destroy and will continue to pick Destroy no matter what (although I know what the other options were of course). To me it was the only viable option, not just because Shepard obviously survives. Yes, he survives, I don't think there's any two ways about it. Included in the Mass Effect 3 files of the actual game disk there is a file called "Shepard_Alive (Male/Female)" so if that doesn't give something away then I don't really know what does. BUT, if you want further proof that Shepard is a badass/superhuman look at the YouTube video with the new EC where Shepard is beamed up (yes Star Trek I'm looking at you) to the Citadel. He/She is literally thrown up there and is probably either knocked out cold to the point of their heart not beating or just dead as a doornail. As soon as Anderson says "Shepard", over the radio when he/she is just laying there on the floor of the Citadel surrounded by dead bodies, Shepard gets a jolt in his/her chest (almost like a defibrillator - a machine used to "shock" someone who has gone into cardiac arrest, etc.) The cybernetics implanted in Shepard were kicking in there, no doubt. Look below at the video as to what I'm talking about. The "defibrillator" happens at 6:47 - notice the smoke coming from her body too?


    Now, as to why the Destroy ending is probably the best - Starchild is blowing things waaaaay out of proportion. Granted, they fixed the dialogue so that it sounded a little less stupid? But yeah, while it is unfortunate that the Geth and EDI are killed in this ending, especially for those of us who took the time to end the conflict between the Quarians and the Geth, it's kind of like..well what did I spend all my time doing this for. HOWEVER, if you look at the ending "slideshow" epilogue of the Destroy ending you can clearly see that the Quarians (40:40 in the video) are still alive. What do the Quarians have that Shepard also has? Yeah. Cybernetics. So they are partly synthetic as well but they are alive and kicking. Besides, the technology from the destroyed Reapers could probably be used to rebuild everything that was lost because the knowledge is still there. Basically all of the races can try and do what TIM wanted to do by saving the Collector base for knowledge and technology. The thing is, even if you chose to destroy the base in ME2, he still somehow gets a hold of the technology in ME3. Same principle could be applied there to restore the "damaged" Mass Relays.

    That's the other thing, the Mass Relays weren't even destroyed so it cuts the losses anyhow since none of the systems went supernova after their "destruction" like they were ~supposed~ to according to previous statements. AKA- Destroy is good. It's what you sent out to do since ME1.

    Synthesis just leaves a bad taste in my mouth because:

    1) Saren wanted Synthesis. A combining of metal and flesh. Why would do basically what he wanted to do the entire time? That's just dumb.
    2) Why mess with DNA. The Milky Way Galaxy is not the only galaxy in the entire universe. Besides, if this universe is so advanced, who's to say that by ME4 something more horrid could come along and wipe everyone out just like the Reapers wiped out the Protheans due to a lack of "genetic diversity"? It's just not a good idea.
    3) The green eyes are just scary.

    Though, the only redeemable factors for the Synthesis ending for me is the fact that Joker and EDI get together and it's cute as hell and that the Quarians don't need their masks anymore.

    Now (I AM ASSUMING DIRECT) CONTROL: I just didn't like this option because the idea of one man ruling the Reapers just doesn't seem like something Shepard would do. Did you hear his whole monologue about how he died and was reborn? It just doesn't sit well with me. I understand the argument that his role as a Reaper Overlord will now be to ~serve and protect~ but thanks but no thanks Shepard if I wanted space police I'll get C-Sec on the line yup. Also, because Shepard is now "immortal" he will be living forever while everyone he has ever known dies off throughout the years, and that's just plain sad.

    Here's where my emotions kick in: The fact that your love interest (in my case Garrus because he is a babe) does NOT put your name plaque on the Memorial Wall (unlike in the Control and Synthesis endings) and instead just looks up and smiles in the Destroy ending is partially what makes me so irked about the ending. I hate hate hate headcanon. Seriously, when you leave a TRILOGY off on a cliffhanger, that's just obnoxious, not good storytelling thanks very much. Especially since ME4 will supposedly be lacking some Shepard action and unless they pull a Halo 4 or release a Reunion DLC where your LI and crew go out looking for Shepard, I will continue to be irked. I'm just pleased that regardless of what ending you chose (unless it was that insulting Refusal ending), the Normandy flies off Jurassic Park Planet; I just like to think that in the Destroy ending where Shepard lives they are going out searching for him/her.

    WHY LEVIATHAN DLC DOESN'T MATTER? In my opinion LOL: If you read through the pastebin text it basically outlines the fact that there is a reaper named "Leviathan" that went rogue on the rest of the Reapers and betrayed them. Leviathan of Dis was actually what is was in ME1 but at that time everyone thought it was just a ship. Nope, it was a Reaper. Joke's on you. Somehow between the events of ME1 and ME3, Leviathan was awoken by a Batarian science team and now the premise of the DLC is that it is going around Indoctrinating as per usual, just supposedly not on the side of the Reapers invading Earth. At the end of the DLC you appear the option of adding the Reaper to your team to fight against the bajillion other Reapers.

    1) First off, all future DLC of ME3 has been stated to ONLY take place prior to the ending of ME3. None of the DLC will occur after. Yet, somehow I will take that with a grain of salt because they said they wouldn't change the endings too but look what happened.
    2) If that is the case, then why would ANYONE want to pay for a DLC that regardless of whether or not you have a Reaper on your team, the endings are still the same so who cares? The only reason to buy it is to further the lore I guess, or just play because you don't care or something. If that's you, then that's your prerogative. Give them all of your $$$$$$$$$$ then.
    3) I don't know if anyone has thought about this, but I thought the Reapers were supposed to be of a collective mindset, all programmed to do what they are told - at least according to Starchild. If you listen to the EC extra dialogue when Shepard asks "Who created you?", etc. the Starchild mentions that he is the leader of the Reapers and they are his solution and that the first Reapers were HIS creators. He himself went rogue from them and turned them into the first Reapers. Who's to say that if you pick the Control ending with Shepard in charge, they won't disobey him and turn the galaxy to shit again?

    WHY THE LEVIATHAN DLC COULD MATTER? In my opinion LOL:

    1) If you look through the text on the pastebin, EDI implies that the mission may reveal new information about the Reapers' creators, a topic mostly untouched in the series so far: "So the Reapers did not fully exterminate their creators. That suggests they are fallible, even on large or long-term scales." If they are able to make mistakes then there is a chance for everyone.
    2) This goes back to the making mistakes thing. Perhaps if you gain Leviathan on your team and have near perfect or even just perfect stats it may trigger a whole new side of the story (although this would probably be obvious if file size is larger than usual or if there are multiple DLCs of course). If Leviathan is strong enough, or of a high enough rank (let's pretend he's somehow mystical magical ruler of the Reapers, besides star child, who's mind recalls their individual memories of whichever species they were that ascended in the previous cycle aka a Shepard-like figure of the past or starchild's daddy), he is able to come back and give some insight into Reaper weakness. If this happens, then the new NEW ending could be happy and grand, etc. idk. that's where things get theoretical and unclear.
    3) I see LI dialogue in the pastebin text. The more Brandon Keener talks the better.

    Basically, I thought these endings were better only in that they left a lot more opportunity for BioWare to correct their mistake either through DLC or a ME4 that would not be the end of Shepard. It's really unclear and that's giving them a lot of credit, more than they are due tbh and they should not have screwed up in the first place but that's just how it goes. If they want people to actually put the money down to buy these DLCs they are going to have to do some major marketing to justify players to reach into their pockets to pay for something that should have been included in the first place (and even the second place considering that all of this Leviathan information came from the EC files). Major marketing as in "HEY! We are BioWare and this new DLC after the Leviathan one will be featuring a reunion between your LI and crew as well as a SURPRISE ENDING! BUY THIS!" It's just a shame I see so many comments with the ME community having better ideas than all of the bullshit ~artistic integrity~ that they are trying to put out and it's kind of a slap in the face for everyone who paid $180+ (if bought new) for these games.

    That stupid Gamestop advertisement before the EC came out that said "It's about the Journey" was so dumb. To me the destination is why you set out for the journey in the first place. It's all pointless if you have no purpose.

    Wow omg okay this was longer than I thought it was going to be, so yeah I don't expect anyone to read through it all, it's kind of me just thinking..outloud? Yeah okay I'm done lol.
