So they say. I will wait on Tuesday to see whats up luckily I am off until Wenesday
It sucked because it left too much to your imagination and took a weird twist at the end that nobody was ready for. The ending for ME 2 was better where u could have really screwed up and died at the end. It wasn't about blowing shit up or not blowing shit up and it wasn't really all that deep it just didn't make sense in the context of what the came is and left several gaps in the story line. Not good but I am hoping their clarity fills those gaps and then ill be happier

him getting indoctrinated by the reapers doesnt make sense in the context of the game? how so? the whole game is based on the reaper invasion. i would think their effect on commander sheppard would be a big part of that story. maybe it wasnt insanely deep but its more depth to sheppard than they have gave him in previous games.
not saying everything was as executed well. the ending/story definitely had its flaws. my main gripe is how they handled the other characters across the other games towards the end. not much closure. as far as the actually ending goes i am fine with it. they painted a picture of sheppard having inner struggles and it was up to you to decide how he chose to deal with it in the end.
the " it left too much to the imagination" comment is what i was hinting at when i said they wanted to see things blow up. everybody wanted something cut and dry. here is exactly what happened and exactly how everything turned out. people act they got robbed of a good ending because they had to use their brains to look further into it. thats what makes for an interesting story. there are tons of the theories on what the ending means and millions of forums posts about it. would those be there if there was one ending that explained every single thing that happened? fuck no. we wouldnt even be talking about mass effect 3 a month after it came out. it would be old news.

It is assumed he was indoctrinated though. I can handle the idea of him maybe fighting indoctrination and I think he was after getting hit by that big blast by Harbinger but it was not cut and dry that he was indoctrinated. When telling a story there should be a defined beginning middle and end. It should always be clear as to what is going on and the ending did not do that clearly so people had to make up in their minds what happened. After playing through 3 games and being told what is happening it is strange and that the last 10 minutes or so is something we should guess about when we didn't have to guess at all in the other 2 games or during the rest of ME 3 about what was actually happening. I want to know what happened to my squadmates after I stopped the Reapers. Was Earth rebuilt easily and were all the aliens I gathered to help me stranded in the Sol system since the Mass Relays were destroyed and it would take 3 decades to get some of them back to their home worlds? Did Kasumi make it off the Citadel in time or is she in the big pile of dead bodies there when I get there? Is that even the Citadel or is that all in Shepard's head? All sorts of questions to be asked because it wasn't clear. Hell I would have loved to see an ending where the cycle completes and you see it play out or one where Shepard lives and the Reapers are destroyed and everything in between that is what Casey Hudson said would happen and I am disappointed that its not at all what happened or maybe it was just implied.
