Angry Joe's takedown of the ending was right. It would have been better if you could convince him to step down or to even help you. And yeah he shouldn't have just had similar motivations to Saren.
God no shit man. So tired of these guys using words no one else would ever say in a conversation. Apparently they are not smart enough to see the 20 different issues with the plot. Or the complete lack of any form of closure. But keep using those big words!Lol at all the reviews that use needlessly big words in an attempt to sound smart. You can still write well without having to resort to words no one ever uses in a conversation.
Also I would argue that the majority of reviewers never even actually finish the games. Had they, I am sure we would see different scores across the board.
Unless Bioware fixes the end, I'll never touch the prior games again. I have a renegade Femshep who will never be played again because of this shit ending. I've never seen an ending that was so bad, especially for a trilogy conclusion.
Yes. What did you see?Ok finally finished the game, green ending.
Wat.
You know guys something just occurred to me.
That starchild has said that Synthetics will always rebel against their creators .
HOWEVER is has been established in the game that the Geth only fought aginst their creators because of their creator's villainous acts and THEN Shepard have established peace among the Geth and the Quarians.
So the Starchild is actually wrong on this point. Good God I discover more plot holes in this ending as time goes by >_>

K I am getting sad with all this truth. Bed time for me. Hold the fucking line guys!!!!!!I don't mean to say that they wouldn't still be fun. As far as gaming, they are valid pieces of work. But as far as plot? I don't see how anyone could revisit the game for plot (other than to find more plot holes for the ME3 ending) and care about the "decisions" you make.
It's sad, because after the very epic and crushing Thessia mission, I was telling my sister (who was watching the playthrough) how much I love Mass Effect for making me feel like the shit I do matters. Not only that, but how it made me feel like the smaller things would all matter at the end, which was sure to be epic. This train of thought was set in stone when I saw the outcome of the Geth/Quarian feud, and despite it being hard to get over Legion's death, it was a perfect example of Shep's choices being important as fuck for future events.
And then, none of it mattered.
First time I've ever been depressed by a game.
Well, they nailed the "emotion" of the series, I guess. I may have just been cured from my love of RPGs. What if every RPG I start ends like this?
Maybe I'll take up knitting. Anybody need a scarf or some shit?
Dunno, I think at that point he was just too far gone for redemption. I enjoyed the neat parallel with Saren's circumstance at the end of ME1 as well.
K I am getting sad with all this truth. Bed time for me. Hold the fucking line guys!!!!!!
Your scarf is going to end up a glove.
A fingerless glove.
Can you sow me up an N7 hoody? That would be nice.First time I've ever been depressed by a game.

You should read this then.
Yep. I was going to start another play with a new character as well. So disappointed.
That's another thing. There were SO many different occasions where I said "I cannot wait to do my Renegade run so I can say these asshole things with no remorse"...now, I don't even want to touch it. I was so excited to do Renegade that I planned to start it directly after the ending. Now, I may not do that for a long time if at all. If I do, I think I'll just turn off the game at the part where the reaper beam kills everyone right before TIM shenanigans.Unless Bioware fixes the end, I'll never touch the prior games again.

*raises hand*
It doesn't invalidate the entire series for me, because I still enjoy the games.

Speaking of that beam...what the fuck happens to the crew that you bring with you on the final mission? They don't make it up there with Shep, are we supposed to assume that they just died with the rest of the alliance fodder? In that case, I brought along Garrus and James. Am I supposed to just have believed that Garrus dies like that? Oh hell naw!
On a positive note, you can kill as many people as you want as a renegade. You could think of it as a favor.That's another thing.

You didn't see the random clip of the alien planet? Depending on your EMS some of your party members appear in it.Speaking of that beam...what the fuck happens to the crew that you bring with you on the final mission?

Jesus same thing with me , was going to replay all 3 games as renegade. Now I don't want to. The ending literally gives me no reason to. More because of the fact that there is zero closure than anything else. So sad, ok going to bed for real now.That's another thing.

If you think you feel bad, imagine how Shep must have felt. We only experience a glimpse, but I guess he didn't survive it (unless he did).
Just one of the many incosistences that has been brought up many times throughout this thread. You can't forget there's EDI too. She only killed everyone on the lunar base because she ahd just came aware, and was scared and almost infantile. You just made peace with two synthetics and this starchild is gonna tell you NOPE NOT POSSIBLE.
Well, at least you've experienced grief. It's what makes us human.I have the patch from the CE. It's staring me in the face, offering up a silent indictment on all the wrong decisions I've made in my life that led me to play ME3 to completion.
I should've been a cowboy, or failing that, a whale biologist. I'm betting those types of people have never even heard of a turian.
Well, at least you've experienced the grief. It's what makes us human.
lolol dude you cracking me up. Ok bed for real real now. This thread is addictive.I wish my heart was DLC, so I could delete it. It hurts, man.
So people don't believe the indoctrination ending? Shepard survives the blast somehow wouldn't that be the most logical spot for new single player DLC?
Maybe actually fight Harbinger?

Right, right. So good. And then when you go track that bastard down and KILL HIM WITH BADASS SHEP-BLADE...and have a successful mission after a complete failure...you come out on a high and say to yourself "WE CAN FUCKING DO THIS"After the Thessia mission, and Kai Leng fucking everything up again, and that Asari commando screaming as the Reapers came down, I actually felt like this was one battle that my Shepard just wasn't going to win. I really felt dejected. Like there was nothing he could have done.
That part was great...
It's kind of fun poking wanderingwind
for me, the ultimate insult was the "BUY DLC" popup straight after that mess of an ending. It was like an achievement unlock, but the achievement was infinite pain.
I guess I get the synthesis ending, having Joker (who did look cool all synthesized) with EDI at the end gave a semi-cool impression of civilization starting over...Although it was almost identical to how Beast Machines ended, which I thought was pretty hilarious.
But why the hell was Kaiden walking off the ship behind Joker and EDI? Kaiden was with me on frigging earth, he wasn't even on the Normandy! Not to mention where the fuck is the rest of the crew, we don't get any indication of what happened to any of them? Did the 2 with me die on Earth? (Well Kaiden magically transported to the Normandy so I guess not).
This is such shit. Truly the only redeeming factor in ANY of the endings is Shepard taking a breath at the end of the red ending. But even then it's still crap.

You know, not once has anyone who has gone to say "herp derp you just want a happy ending", ever actually said why a happy ending is a bad thing or the option of one is a bad thing. Shouldn't a game supposedly about choice have that option for you to earn that happy ending? To actually have every thing you do matter? Wasn't that one of the good things about the suicide mission, being able to get youre entire crew out unscathed? But no, bleak nonsensical endings are some how better.
How come the reapers haven't rebelled against the Catalyst? He says the created would always rebel against their creator. But he created the Reapers.
The other thing that makes sense about a happy ending is that the player has had to make sacrifices throughout the entire series. With some sacrifices weighing heavily on players, shouldn't they at least have the option to work hard to get the happy ending they want when it's all said and done? After all, this is it for our connection to these characters, let us be satisfied with the option of a happy ending after having to make tough decisions prior to the ending.You know, not once has anyone who has gone to say "herp derp you just want a happy ending", ever actually said why a happy ending is a bad thing or the option of one is a bad thing.
