hmm

But a "happy ending" is too typical for such an epic trilogy. Like he always said, he'll sleep when he's dead.

Rest up commander. Sleep well earned.

You say 3 endings, IGN says 17 endings... you sure you only got 3 ?

well at the end of the game, I was presented with three major options.

When IGN says 17 endings, they are probably referring to changes in minor plot elements. As in, which of your friends  were alive / dead. Which alien races you were able to forge alliances with, which enemies you spared / killed.

All would have subtle effects on the end scenario. Another brilliant aspect to bioware games. Love it.

the endings depend upon how high a readiness rating you have which will result in one of these
and also i saw the secret ending...................veryyyyyyy interesting.

f the Collector Base was destroyed

If you did not import a Mass Effect 2 save it is assumed that you destroyed the Collector Base. If that's the case, or if you imported a save where you made the decision to destroy the Collector base these are the possible endings.

With a readiness rating that's under 1,750 points,
Earth will be destroyed regardless of the choice you made. You can still choose to control the Reapers, or Destroy them, but it will not affect the outcome.
With a readiness rating at 1,750
you can choose to control the reapers, but Earth will still be destroyed.
With a readiness rating at
1,900 you can choose to destroy the Reapers and save Earth, but Earth will be devastated.
With a readiness rating at 2,350
you can choose to control the Reapers and by doing so you'll save Earth.
With a readiness rating of 2,650
you can choose to destroy the Reapers and Earth will be saved.
With a readiness rating of 2,800
you can choose the Synergy ending that will combine organics and synthetics. Earth will be saved as well as the Galaxy if you get this ending.
With a readiness rating of 4,000
you can choose to destroy the Reapers, and you can "save" Anderson. Shepard also lives in this scenario.
With a readiness rating of 5,000
you can choose to destroy the Reapers OR control the Reapers OR synthesis, and if you don't "save" Anderson, Shepard will still live unless you choose Synthesis (which kills Shepard).

One point of note: the spoiler tags don't work in Tapatalk, so I just realized that I unwittingly read a whole lot of what I probably shouldn't. 

No matter...by the time I'm ready to buy this I'll probably forget.

Exactly, and all of the things I mentioned there as minor plot elements will affect your readiness rating.

I imported my mass effect 2 character and got all three major ending options as a result of massive alliances forged across the galaxy. (galactic readiness rating of 6518 to face the reapers)

got my interest piqued on this secret ending though. Gonna read up more on that.

*implications of that ending is really a blow mind! it isn't really an ending though, more like an after credit extra....still good looking out! +1*

[TriniXaeno]

hahah, they have a hitler's reaction to ME3 ending out already yes.

damn just did some searches on the ending and so on and the fans are going hard on bioware to change it or at least make a dlc with an alternate ending, petitions for so next thing you know there gonna be street riots.
It's kinda to be expected when you make a game this epic and get us all attached to the mass effect universe an it's characters.

Seriously? Wow... Before they protest about game prices being too high (yes i cheap, $60 USD for a game with low longevity is BS imo), a better ending? Good grief.

i'm part of that movement ,
i'll be doing my part lol

[TriniXaeno]

lol, part of which movement? the "happy" ending or the game prices being too high?

I've read about four or five forums of people's comments on the ending of the game.

It has so many variations, yet the masses seem to be pleased with none of them.

perfectly happy with the one I chose though. most who thought the ending were fine also chose that same path and for the same reason.

After reading so many views and complaints, I can understand their position. A lot of people grew so emotionally attached to the characters that they want either a) a happy ending or b) a detailed explanation of the state of affairs in the galaxy after the final battle.

Maybe bioware will offer those via DLC. Left to be seen.

Wyatt yuh goat, i watch that hitler video, and it have spoilers, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*Takes out a hit on TriniWyatt - 35 million ryō*

[TriniXaeno]

apologies!

[MessiaaH]

*Mass Effect style Left Click action sequence on TriniWyatt!!!!*

[TriniXaeno]

lol @ renegade

ouch

Never saw any of those before as I played straight through on paragon actions.

Wow, if you go the renegade route, you could make Commander Sheperd act like a real douche.

[MessiaaH]

I went renegade route, spared no-one, took no prisoners.
At the end of me2, my shepard's face was red with cuts and bruises, with an alien lookin red vein runing through his neck and red eyes.

At the end of the final mission, i was left with 3-4 teammates.

Porting that same savegame across to me3, and going the same route.

No rest for the wicked.

[TriniXaeno]

serious?? didn't figure you for the renegade type
