Haven't got there yet, but it does suck you just wind up with a war asset worth 400. I would like to actually see them in some of the battle sequences at the end, triple the epicness.

They should have confronted the catalyst & came up with a 5th "solution". Since they created the catalyst they should have been able to do something. They could have stopped the cycle & Shepard could have survived & everybody could have their happy Hollywood ending.
Anything to make the fans finally STFU about the endings. |

lol, got a time machine handy?
Even with a 5th ending, people would still complain. Imagine the rage if the happy ending was only available if you played MP. I personally get irritated that my army(with every war asset available in the game based on my choices) gets bogged down or hear Hackett talking about how badly we're doing just because I don't touch MP. Remember the rage about the breathing scene from destroy? Multiply that by at least 5 then add a million. There is a reason the EC lowers the threshold to get every available ending and makes the "Master and Commander" achievement attainable to people who don't want to touch MP. Haters will always hate.

Synthesis(EC) was pretty different from Destroy(pre). Maybe it was the extra scenes, narration and epilogues. Maybe my opinion will change after this run. Either way, still one of my favorites series of all-time. Besides, this rage is nothing. Just picture the rage when ME4 comes and BioWare's canon becomes everybodys.

EA clearly had them rush the final product and the end got...slashed some. there were lots of cut corners in the game that really stand out in playthrough number 2.
Still better than 95% of the garbage being released. My biggest concern from the whole debacle is that Bioware has lost it's mojo ever since the merger/buyout by EA. I don't know that I'll ever pre-order a Bioware game again unless there are some seriously needed pre-order bonuses. I probably will DA 3, because I knwo I'm finishing thats series too.... I'm just nitpicking about ME....it's my favorite game series....I would have liked to have seen the ending if the entire OG team stayed on it until completion...It would have been more epic I bet.

I know they were all basically the same pre-EC, I only ever actually saw Destroy myself but I watched the videos.

I'd rather them be owned by EA than Activison, if they have to be owned by one of the megacorps. Shame Take 2 didn't by them, Rockstar Edmonton would rock - give them a big foothold in the RPG genre.
I don't know about pre-ordering DAIII, I'll wait to see the preorder bonuses - but I am buying it. I enjoyed 2 a hell of a lot more than Origins - god knows I remember playing DA:O and jamming on the attack button thinking "swing damn you! why the hell am I waiting?!". Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Origins at the time but it's no longer playable for me - combat is just way too slow.

I will also admit I have only played ME3 twice.......I was a rager after the first play....I calmed down, but I admit I was disturbed. I didn't even have to have a happy ending..i thought the best ending might involve Shepard dying. I felt the poor ending and flawed logic was just too obvious to me...But to each their own.
It has affected my enjoyment of the series overall though......That is a shame. Honestly, I think BW wrote themselves into a corner back in ME1. The big bad was depicted as nigh unstoppable, short of a "Halo" type solution what would stop a massive army of them? Any fan who thought a conventional victory was achievable was simply not paying attention. They could've just copped out and had the "Refusal" ending be the only one. Imagine the raging then. "The Cycle continues.......BUY MASS EFFECT 4!"

I just finished the game & did the refusal ending. I liked it a lot. They all get killed (everybody dies eventually anyway), they leave the info & the next cycle takes care of the Reapers. The Leviathans didn't do anything so it was the ultimate "fuck it, I don't care anymore" ending.
I'm sick of the good guys always winning. This was more realistic. The Reapers kept saying there's nothing anybody can do to stop them , the cycle will continue, and for once it turned out to be true. They weren't full of shit like the bad guys always are. The good guys didn't pull a miracle out of their ass at the last minute like they always do in the movies. This was the most realistic ending. Every other cycle left the crucible to be worked on by the next cycle & this one was no different. I also liked how the catalyst said Shepard would replace him if she chose to control them. He doesn't like it but he accepts it. I did the control, synthesis & destroy endings & he never said that before. I think it's because I chose all renegade replies this time, I usually always choose paragon. |
