User blog comment:Matthew Paul/What's wrong with wanting a happy ending for ME3?/@comment-4614261-20120410180443

The problem is that they only say we want ONLY that to make us seem immature. Which is silly...There's many examples that disprove this as gamer's wishes for the ending. *Spoilers will follow, but I don't know how to do that blackout thing* Was there an uproar when Marston died in RDR? No. Was there one when Noble Six died? No. Was there one every time Activision felt the need to kill someone off in Call of Duty every five seconds? Was there one when Konami decided to stop using Solid Snake? When Ezio was shelved in AC canon? When whatever the name of the Big Daddy was in Bioshock died? When Mother 3 ended on the most depressing note EVER? No. So the idea this protest is JUST because we don't accept the idea of Shepard dying is absurd. It's the fact that in the case of a series built around choice for a character...there was none in Shepard's ultimate fate.
