shep lives in control ending?

Not in a traditional sense, starchild explains it now if asked, I didn't pick it to see what happens exactly

 

[Net_Wrecker]

shep lives in control ending?

Spoiler

He becomes Bob The Builder in Reaper form while watching over the universe and helping to rebuild. Like a Space God Batman. He still has his memories, but he's not human anymore.

shep lives in control ending?

No, the reapers basically absorb his thoughts and memories and motivation.

I'm weirdly okay with that.

 

[volturnus]

Synthesis ending.

 

[def sim]

If these were the original endings, people would have been happy and none of the outcry would have happened.

No, there would have been people still hating it. I suspect it would not have been as big of an issue as it were, though. More akin to ME2's ending with the Terminator. Not great and some may really hate it, but acceptable enough.

 

[HadesGigas]

It's pretty dumb on their part to have the LI tell Joker

Spoiler

to leave Shep behind.

Is that what it is or is it just always Ashley? Since it wasn't Tali for me.

It's probably because Ashley is secretly trying to usurp command of the Normandy from Shepard...

Edit: hm no i see it was Garrus in that youtube.

 

[wwm0nkey]

lol

Need Sheapherd reaper in avatar form lol

 

[massoluk]

Yeah, I'm ok with these new endings, all said and done. Star Child reasoning is still stupid, but I'm ok with the slideshows ending showing the results of my choices a la FallOut NV.

 

[AB12]

Synthesis ending.

Thanks, the guy streaming is not skipping dialogue.

 

[Photolysis]

Sounds as if they've done the best patch job they can do without throwing out Walters' shitty writing entirely.

 

[Slackbladder]

Is there any explanation why the "Starchild" is in the form of the kid that Shepard has nightmares about? Never understood that.

 

[utsavinheaven]

How abt the destroy ending?

That's just what all human children look like in the future.

Something something sympathetic symbolism trope something something

 

[def sim]

How abt the destroy ending?

Everyone but the Geth and EDI lives.

 

[Lime]

What's the point of making the relays severely damaged if they are implied as being repaired the next minute? It doesn't contribute with anything to the plot.

 

[Diablohead]

Spoiler

As the reaper Leader.

HAHAHAHAHAHA OH WOW

 

[Ruuppa]

Synthesis ending.

That's creepy as hell.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Synthesis ending.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Synthesis is still mad Space Magic™, yo. Nothing can be done to save this ending. Control 2.0 is kind of ridiculous too, but this one just goes too far.

 

[JerkShep]

But can Reaper Shep bang his LI?

In my destroy ending for a moment the explosion on london became purple or something lol. New ending? More like new bug

 

[sTeLioSco]

and this is the MINIMUM that a trilogy like this should have included!!!
everyone expected even more,but we say ok because it was addeed after a short time....

(landmark day of defeat for the immoral gaming journalist and their entitled parade lol.
even the stupidest person wont agree with having your heroes left with nothing in a planet or anywhere unexplained in a story driven rpg....!)

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Synthesis ending.

Worst ending, easily.

Creepy as all hell. Still makes absolutely no sense (Space Magic > Husks). Has nothing new from the other endings except everyone, including baby Krogan, has green eyes. Absolutely horrific.

Destroy > Control > THE CYCLE CONTINUES > Synthesis

Yep, just bad rather then lazy and insulting.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

Synthesis ending.

I...I can't tell what's different. Is he not choosing anything new? or just skipping to the new part in the beginning. I don't remember the "I want details" option. He didn't choose it and just went with the 'move the conversation along' choices every time.

 

[Lime]

The concept art vistas in the powerpoint slideshow are quite impressive, actually.

Well this has now comfirmed it, I am not longer touching a Bioware/EA game for many, many years :lol: I can't fathon the horror how the quality suddenly changed after ME1, it's insane.

 

[duckroll]

Is this up on Origin yet? Why not? Whyyyyyyyy EA!!!

ME 2 and DA2 showed BW had become a joke long before ME3.

Wonder what ending they'd go with as the canon ending if they made a ME4 or other game set in this timeline. Destroy seems like the logical one to go with, since it doesn't have weird green eyed everyone and helpful giant robot bugs.

 

[Varjet]

You know, it would have been nice if the outcome of the rejection ending depended on your EMS.

 

[AB12]

How do you like your Slides?
Green, Red, or Blue?

Too much work, marking those slides took 2-3 months

 

[Moaradin]

NO.

 

[Konosuke]

I wished they still had an ending where the relays are destroyed, just for the purpose of differentiation.

It'll be destroy. Not having synthetics is easier to deal with (like say, remake them) than giant Helper Reapers waiting on your beck and call or everyone having green contacts.

Agreed, even the idea that because we're all hybrids there is eternal peace in the galaxy is just absurd. And if nobody dies and people still have children wouldn't you eventually run out of space/resources?

Synthesis is just idiotic.

 

[Lime]

After the Destroy, Synthesis and Control endings, how does the Buzz Aldrin MY SWEET scene fit in to the new endings? In all 3 endings, civilization is never doomed and everyone gets to keep their space ships.

So why can Buzz Aldrin and Sweet not space travel any longer?

 

[Abylim]

Wow, this is 'better'. Still not worth firing it up. Halfway through insanity, its all I have left for plat. But I dont have the heart.
As a few others have said, after DA2 and ME3 Bioware has gone from auto purchase to wtf are they thinking, wont touch unless I hear really good things.

Glad some of you are enjoying it, though.

 

[Moaradin]

What happens if your readiness is low?

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

NO.

Sorry you're wrong but ME2 was (out side of one or two stand alone missions) pretty shitty.

Glad some of you are enjoying it, though.

Watching streams feels good.

You are in the vast minority.

So why can't Buzz Aldrin and Sweet not space travel any longer?

And if technology still remains why would the "details" be lost? Wouldn't you have perfect record keeping?

Love the reactions ITT

I knew this would still be terrible.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Nuke this series from orbit and forget it existed.

Destroy ending isn't bad. GAF overreacting as usual.

Haven't seen the other ones though.

It's not terrible, it's not great, but acceptable.

Find out in Mass Effect 4!

The new stuff isn't all bad, but as has been said not enough to save the game, if BW was like CD Projekt RED then a proper full update could have done it.
