User blog comment:Matthew Paul/What's wrong with wanting a happy ending for ME3?/@comment-1421011-20120412151129

I would be fine with Shepard not surviving. I would be fine with the entire team being wiped out and the galaxy slowly recuperating. That would be perfectly fine, like the 'bad' ending for ME2 had Shepard and the entire team die, but it did still feel triumphant and made me feel good about it.

The biggest problem with the ending is the destruction of the Citadel and Mass Relays. if that was cut out, I can be pretty sure that many more people would approve of the ending, even if it is really sad.
