What the kid told at the end was non sense.

The 3 ending sequences were the same outcome, only the color of the blast was different.

What happened to the synthetic life and each crews after Shepard chose to control the reapers or to synthesize with them?...

So...anyone cares to explain to me what the Mass Effect 3 ending is about? I could not understand what my screen was telling me. Even for genius like Hitler could not.

Wait..was that really the ending or it's going to be on a DLC..

There's a chance that the ending did not happen at all. That Shepard was not beamed up to the citadel, he/she never saw the Illusive Man in person and the kid who died never existed.

This video suggests that all Shepard saw in the very end was his /her own psychological struggle against Reaper indoctrinations coming to an end. Choosing Synthesis or Control may mean Shepard giving up resisting the Reapers and fell prey to indoctrinations and lost his / her own consciousness.

Oh yes I really want to say Mass Effect should have no Reapers and have the story written based on Galactic Politics. This human-egocentric-supremacy shit has to be scrapped if the plot wants to be good and unique.

Just finished the SP. The indoctrination theory must be real, or else the citadel scene wouldn't make sense to me with all those black gases and the reaper noises.

I'm willing to believe Bioware ran out of ideas right at the end. Stock photo imagery? No QA at all!

Now when I think about it, the game would be better if it ends after Shepard is exhausted in the control room. That part where he went up by the elevator and talked with the kid was too BS for us to take.

The ending doesn't make sense when you see Garrus walking out from Normandy. (He was fighting on Earth all the time)
