Quote Exeter Rhino="Exeter Rhino"Just started this. I see there is a lot of negative press about the ending - lots of people giving it 1 star reviews on Amazon saying the ending completely ruins what is otherwise a great game. There's even a Facebook group demanding a new ending as DLC. Don't think I'll be finding out for some time!'"
Given that the creators worked so hard to create such a vivid galaxy full of such varied and interesting life forms, all with their own brilliantly thought up back stories, historical moments and potential futures, the ending is a massive slap in the face to all those players who have put around 100 hours of their time into the Mass Effect trilogy. There are plot holes, inconsistencies and a complete lack of closure. It really is that bad.
What's worse is that those cynical gamers (myself included) now fully expect EA/Bioware to cash in on all this controversy by releasing some additional content - at a tidy price, of course - that will clear things up for us a bit more than the original ending does. Hell, maybe they even planned this all along, what a terrible thought.
