I might be the only one, but I really liked the ending of Mass Effect 3. I appreciated that at the end, there are things that you can’t save, all the choices you’ve made in aggregate sometimes don’t make the difference you think they will, and at this grand level, maybe nothing you do will feel like the ‘right’ thing to do. I thought there was a really unique, deep sort of meta-philosophy about that.
I also played the games back-to-back over the course of a few weeks, not as they were released. Part of me wonders if it would be possible to have an ending to the trilogy that satisfied the sort of player who played the games over the long arc of their release and spent years casting their imaginations toward an ending.
Perhaps we could get the Hello Games team to push out ME5 in between No Man’s Sky updates?
I like NMS but it’s just about the opposite of the polished writing that the first 2.75 Mass Effect games delivered.

But it will be cheap and fast. Just what the execs at EA want.
