Yeah, it's actually far worse than the DA2 ending.  Which really was spectacularly lame.  But at least in DA2 we knew right off the bat that we were being shackled into a shitty conflict.

The game is an absolute fucking marvel before the ending, I don't think the Cal Lit review is fair at all.

Read the full review. You'll find that he agrees with you. And so do I, 99% of the game is the best Mass Effect there is then in the last 5 minutes it turns to shit.

Muzyka's statement is a measured response, I think.

Seriously, though, the first two episodes had no fucking children in them at all.  None.  And in the third episode, Shepard is supposed to give a fuck about kids?  The krogans don't give a shit about kids, just procreation.  Kids=mouths to feed, when you're fighting for survival.

Maybe they made the shit ending just so they could pump out some DLC to "fix" it later. Though I suppose I should not attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

each of the choices you're forced to make results in Shepard committing some level of genocide or another,
the only genocide is that of synthetic life when you choose the destroy option.  Otherwise, everyone survives if your EMS score is high enough and you're full Paragon or Renegade.

It gets old, I know, but it's still fun to see.  It's my favorite part of the movie :D

The above link has me pretty well convinced that the game's ending is just too subtle.  Once explained from the above (heavily spoilered) perspective, I am convinced it's great.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I am sorry but my sarcasm meter is broken apparently, as I am not sure if you like the video or not.

I think it overanalyses the whole thing and is generally a load of crap. Poor guy put too much effort into this.

So, it seems all those who want a new ending have been heard:

I predict a yellow ending in a DLC coming soon to a computer near you! :P

QuoteThis is in addition to our existing plan to continue providing new Mass Effect content and new full games, so rest assured that your journey in the Mass Effect universe can, and will, continue.

This was one of the things that made the ending suspect to me.

I'm a little skeptical about this interpretation but if this is really what Bioware was going for in the ending then it's a pretty fucking awesome ending; one that would have duped the player as much as your Shepard.   :cool:

Until you realize that now you'll have to pay another $20 for the ACTUAL ENDING TO THE GAME

What an odd ending.
