Any ending that pulls out a god from no where is lazy and indefensible.

Any ending that pulls out a god from no where is lazy and indefensible.
Good thing the Geth became half-organic, countering any cool calculations that would lead them down the path to war.
In my game I didn't have the option due to choices I made in ME2.
The "god" was always there to begin with. That's the whole point.
Lol why are you here if you don't want to talk about ME3?

Just curious, but you didn't have enough "trigger" points to keep both Geth and Quarians happy with your ME2 carryover file?
And of course, seeing what happens despite favoritism to a character is part of the fun of ME. Hell, I played a Renegade file with Tali simply dead in ME2 to see what happened, despite her being my actual favorite/LI of the series.

Too bad they are now filled with organic parts that they didn't need or want. Seriously, what the fuck is a geth going to do with a pancreas?
I also really like Tali.. which is why the choice was so hard. But I felt I had to stay true to the path my Shepard walked.
That's not what the transformation means. It's not like they get random organic organs... their physical make-up changes.

No it wasn't, and it never is when a writer pulls it out as a way to cover any plot holes they made.

Just beat it, chose the path on the right which seems to be the only path on which Shepard survives. Was hoping the relays didn't get destroyed, but they did.
Not sure all the hate, I liked the ending quite a bit, but really wonder what happens from here. Can the races still contact each other?

This will go well with my organic hat and the ship that just grew genitals.
Some of the criticism that has been delivered in the heat of passion by our most ardent fans, even if founded on valid principles, such as seeking more clarity to questions or looking for more closure, for example – has unfortunately become destructive rather than constructive.

Did The Normandy crash because EDI was orgasming having everyone inside her at once?

I'm not sure about the whole dark matter thing but I always saw the reaper invasions as their way of reproducing, harvesting genetic material and making one or two reapers out of the species each cycle. Sometimes there's no one suitable though (Protheans) so they do something else with them. Maybe Harbinger was the first Reaper and turned on his creators (the Keepers maybe)?
Would have been such a better and more "believable" ending than what we got, even if Shep sacrificed himself.

so what did you liked if you dont know what happened to everyone in the.....end??
that's why the press sees the problem as something only the "nerds" create.
some people just consume whatever is shown infront of them.
Paragon. I couldn't see him siding with a war-mongering race against their creation when they have never wanted to fight in the first place. That's the whole point of the AI mission, you get to see the long history of the Quarians shitting all over the Geth for no reason other than "we created true ai, what have we done? there is no way we can call you our equals! kill kill kill!" As much as I like the Quarians, they were dead set on ending the Geth for no good reason.
I don't know, but it sure as hell doesn't mean the Geth get a random human organ.

: / I dislike the whole lets turn everything into cyborgs thing as much as everybody, but don't you think you are taking it to an extreme. Its magic and thus just does whatever Bioware wants.

Did you cure the genophage?
So what you're saying is that there is no evidence that the Geth wouldn't get any organs. If you can say that synth-organics will know not to create synthetics, then I can say that a Geth Prime has a big set of smelly, sweaty balls
I did cure the genophage.
What I'm saying is there's no need for "organs" for the Geth when they already function with the parts they have inside. It's possible those parts were modified to be more organic, but it's not likely they'd spawn new completely organic parts.

I see I have taken the least liked approach by enjoying the ending.
I enjoyed it because it ended. It told me what happened, I killed the reapers, my crew survived, but the relays were destroyed. The only thing I wasn't as keen on was after the credits. I don't need something to tell me that Joker went on to have 3 kids and a nice house by the beach. Them surviving worked for me. I guess maybe since I've always known this wasn't the end of the franchise a few open questions don't bother me.

How do you modify something to be organic without organs? At the very least they should get something like a central nervous system or a heart or something. And a cock.
yes,a moronic argument.
noone bitches for everything.only the ending.
so if it didn't suck noone would bother.
noone will bother if its nothing major.
when was the last time you saw cnn covering the controversy for the ending of a game?

You can like it, but be prepared to defend it.
That's weird.
Ha to the bolded. And we have been shown what happens when a relay explodes. Entire systems are destroyed.
I'm assuming you chose the destroy option, yes? So you committed genocide against the geth and EDI.
You have nothing to say about the Catalyst or his circular logic and contradictory themes?

That's the worst part of the whole ending, for me. They took their time to come up with scientific explanations for just about every piece of technology and biotics. The entire series is named after one of physical phenomenons they came up with to explain how much of their technology works. I really appreciate that attention to detail, even if most of it just came down to element zero. That's a big reason why I really got sucked into the universe. I feel like the ending throws that all away with space magic and Citadel Space Ghosts.
Lol what the fuck is this? That's the worst defense I've ever heard for a DEM and a factually incorrect one.

I wonder how taxing it is for the mind to stay in denial in the face of insurmountable evidence.
It might also mean that they invent some implausible bullshit to cover the circular holes in the finale plot, which will just ring false if it's not actually done well.

Very taxing. It will build up and then they will leave in anger while saying something like we are too ignorant or something along those lines
The Catalyst lives in the Citadel and controls the Reapers, but cannot activate the Citadel as a relay for some reason

No, it wasn't, it was only in the last few minutes of the game.

Was it breath of fire that had an ending that was different based on your choices in the game? I seem to remember one of the SNES games that blew my mind. Maybe it was Secret of Mana...somebody here will know.

He was watching you every time you went to the Citadel. He was probably kicking himself when the protheans prevented the keepers from activating the Citadel. He probably wished he would have given himself some kind of manual override. Everything would have gone so much smoother and Shepard wouldn't have got in the way.

javik just came back to troll Liara. To crush her dreams and life's work. He finds her tears...delicious.

To be fair, I need time to comprehend the whole thing, I only just beat it. Is there a good summary of every ending with notes on what the crucible mentioned anywhere?
My initial reaction after the game ended was "solid." I can see some of the holes mentioned, and wish there was more mentioned on what happened to the rest of the galaxy, but my initial reaction was not anger, which I was prepared for it to be. Maybe seeing all the hate desensitized me to it because I was prepared to be disappointed, but I didn't hate it with as much vile hatred as other do.

Breath of Fire II has three endings, but I don't remember what it was you needed to do to see all three. You might be thinking of Chrono Trigger that game has several ending based on your choices.
God Javik is awesome.

You haven't seen the other endings yet? Whichever ending you chose, just imagine it as a different color. Seriously.
A lot of people think it's alright at first. But then they think about it and it all comes crashing down. We have a few examples of people liking at first and then not liking it. The user Heavy comes to mind

Javik trolling Liara and taking her, and the asari to school on Tessia was priceless.
Also, his lines about evolutions and species (Salarians used to eat flies, asari finaly mastered writting, throwing talking machine through airlock...) are so damn fun
