Happy Ending?

Should every game have the perfect ending? What is the definition of the perfect ending?

Good > evil? The Hero defeats the immeasurable hordes of evil and rests at home in peace with his recently rescued lady-friend? 

I recently completed my first round through Mass Effect 3. My initial reaction was... Melancholy? Upset? Bitter? Distressed? 

Any of the endings the game provided were less than... Epic. 

But before you close the blog, and say "get a life, its just a game." or "now I think I will not play this game." 

Hear me out. 

I thought to myself after an hour of shell shock, how many great movies did not end quite like people hoped?

Here are a few- 

The Departed
Braveheart
The Green Mile
Cast Away
Saving Private Ryan
The Last Samurai

Not all great stories have a perfect ending. 

If you are a Mass Effect Fan, play this game (if you haven't already..) 

Just be prepared to be surprised.
