on another note, I am starting to think about the game as a whole and I am starting to turn to the conspiracy ending side. I think this might be denial actually... but god damnit I need hope or I will never play another game again. I can't chance the hurt again.
The ending is the way it is for DLC, I couldn't really imagine how else they could arrive at such a steaming pile of....
"By a bunch of DLC and see the actual ending you are all craving for"
That is BS... It is bad enough that they have 1st day DLC (which ok, wasn't really that bad due to price), but now, they are actually removing what should have been in the game so that they can charge extra for the ending?? Bastards.The ending is the way it is for DLC, I couldn't really imagine how else they could arrive at such a steaming pile of....

This Youtube comment sums the entire situation up nicely, I think.
I love how we all want it to be a dream, normally considered the worst ass-pull available in fiction. That's how shitty that ending is.
Source: Penny ArcadeTo make a long story short, Gabriel likes his ending (green) and I’m fine with my ending (blue) but I understand how someone could feel cheated - especially if they got the worst ending, or if they aren’t in the habit of reading classic science fiction.
There’s a countercharge now, in response to anger about the endings, that describes Bioware’s output as sacrosanct in some way - beyond criticism. This is fundamentally batshit, or as noted “speculative fiction” author Harlan Ellison might say, bugfuck. I’m fine with the ending, which to my mind started as soon as I ran the executable - the whole game is denouement - but I revolt against the idea of Authorial Divinity almost at the molecular level. I bet Ken Levine would take a redo on Bioshock, for example. To hear them tell it, there is plenty about Deus Ex: Human Revolution the developer would change. Fallout’s “Broken Steel” DLC actually does modify the ending considerably. There’s also a school of thought that says, hey, maybe these are not (strictly speaking) real endings anyway, and I’m always down for a rabbit hole.
They’re very much endings of the Hard Sci-Fi school: work predicated to a certain extent on Interesting Answers but far, far more of a piece with Interesting Questions. The Interesting Question posed here is: what next? We know this is the question, because regardless of any particulars, the very structure of Galactic society is destroyed every time. And the alliance you’ve jammed together with gum, glue, and tape is now sitting in the equivalent of a ten by ten room, all of them armed to the teeth. We know that something survives, and lives well - “the Shepard” has passed into legend, and The Stargazer talks about interstellar travel as though it had all the complexity of crossing the street. But what next?
That is precisely the kind of question I like.
Dont know if this has been posted but this is how the story should have ended Click ME , especially the last 2 or 3 paragraphs . Its what im using to pretend the other endings just didnt happen ....
The picture link inside the spoilers sums up the situation nicely
[SPOILERS ] I think its fine that shepard dies, hell the whole crew could die, bioware has always been realistic , not candyfloss and rainbows. Im just mad that it feels like they just couldn't give a F , and finished the ending in an afternoon . 100 Hours + of gameplay over the series , hundreds of decisions later , only to get the same 3 minute cut scene ( vid comparison link ) with different colours .... and no closure or elaboration on the universe we have known to love .
Oh and an image that illustrates Biowares backtracking BS Picture link
[/SPOILERS]
