Weekend Confirmed 105 - Journey, Mists of Pandaria, Mass Effect 3
by Garnett Lee, Mar 23, 2012 11:00am PDTAfter a long look at Mass Effect 3 last week, Jeff, Jeff, Andrea, and Garnett turn their attentions to Journey, the upcoming Mists of Pandaria expansion for World of Warcraft, and other games. However, they cannot ignore the interesting turn the controversy over the ending of Mass Effect 3 took with BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka directly addressing fans to promise them "clarity" and "closure" through new content the team will create. We also catch up on the announcement of an Epic Mickey sequel along the way to wrapping up with Finishing Moves.

if this is true then the writers at Bioware may have pulled off one of the greatest feats in video game history.

If this theory is true, and the ending is all in Shepard's head, then the battle is still happening on Earth, meaning we never actually saw the end, since the game cut to credits after his long dream sequence. Thus, the "real" ending would have to be DLC, going against prior statements. Who knows.
MHSilver, to his credit, has calmed a lot of my frustration about the "choose your color" ending. I completely overlooked the fact that the other two games had "set in stone" finishes. Whether you destroy the collector base or not in ME2 is of no consequence to anything - you still return home and get decommissioned for the beginning of ME3. The same is true of ME3, but I guess I put higher expectations on it, expecting an ending to a trilogy rather than this one game. The choices at the end of ME3 are just as inconsequential as the ones in the end of ME2 - you still decide the fate of the next cycle, or ME4, or whatever you want to think of it as.
Still doesn't explain the goddamn Normandy and Bioware's plot holes, though! :P
