This ending, a better ending in my regard, brings clarity but it doesn't bring closure despite making more sense. Additionally, we are given a fourth ending, Refusal Ending, a total new ending depicting what happens when the "child" is shot. However, the stocked/original ending, if it was indeed intended to be a mind-fuck/brainteaser, which the fans have hypothesized as the "indoctrinated theory" shed some light for many of the confused fans, and it could have been one of the best philosophical ingenious endings of all time. On other hand, Bioware shattered our hypothesis by stating that the original ending wasn't an indoctrinated brainteaser ending we hoped for but the true ending despite how vague and nonsensical it was--this was quite disappointing because I thought Bioware's writer-team was ingenius instead of brain dead lazy.
And that my friends, was the essential reason why there was so much of an uproar from the fans because the ending goes against everything the character, Shepard, was about and it just did not make sense. It was poorly done and rushed and by far the worst conclusive narrative ending for a premier gaming franchise. Regardless of which spectrum of the argument one may choose, Mass Effect 3's original ending was extremely controversial, so much that the company felt compelled to give us a better a ending and here it is:
Here is a longer version, as I said before the revamped ending makes much more sense and we will have more Mass Effect games, anyway enjoy:
I may put in all the endings on the page but then again that would be redundant. Um, I like the endings, and just goes to show how lazy Bioware was in giving us a shitty vague ending but thanks to the many rants and complains of the fans we got this a polished ending with tons of clarity. However, the questions is do we care? I personally don't since I had already been tainted by the original ending but if this player's first experience then they should not be an issue, but every gamer who is a fan of the series has been already tainted by the atrocious original ending anyways. And to those who don't have the luxury of having an internet connection or disconnected from web is royally screwed.
Note, there are four endings, originally there were three but there are four now, the "refusal ending" is the newly edition to the director's cut which I like but I prefer the "destroy all ending" sense it makes more sense to me. Below is the "control ending" and think that is about it as far as the endings goes I hope you guys enjoy:
Disclaimer: I take no credit in providing these endings and I don't own the IP, credit is due to Bioware for providing this amazing series--and shitty endings--and to the users that edited and upload the revamped endings for fans to engage constructive dialogue and trolling..:)
All things considered, Bioware, I appreciate it as a gamer that you did your best in giving us closure with a revamped ending that is "free of charge." I would have had a different tune, however, if we it was a paid DLC instead of free. This is a substantial testament that we as "unified" gamers are more powerful than any greedy corporation and half-assed endings should not be published especially for story driven games like Mass Effect. Anyway, thanks Bioware, and we love you for your kind gesture.
