Man, the Catalyst is bullshit.

It should have been this: You finally make the Crucible, it fires and kills a shiton of reapers.

Then, massive Space Battle where you can see all your assets come into play. That's where most of your decisions come into play, who dies, who lives bla bla bla bla.

You win "easily" or you win but the earth is in ruins and all your friends are dead.

The end.

From reddit "Shit, you can almost hear his soul being crushed in the video."

Man, so true.

 

[McNei1y]

For the record: I was pumped when I was able to Renegade my kill against Kai Leng and Shepard says "That was for Miranda and Thane!". I was waiting for that. The bastard killed the two most important characters in my Shepard's life.

I wonder what the space baby thinks about all this...

 

[Patryn]

Oh, and once again: The Final Hours shows that Casey Hudson and Bioware have no interest in exploring the ME universe after the events of ME3. They envision all future games taking place before or during it.

From reddit "Shit, you can almost hear his soul being crushed in the video."

Man, so true.

His point about the stagger towards the beam was so right. It's fucking annoying not having full control of your characters. Ditto with the dream sequence. If you want to make a dream sequence, then don't expect me to control the character. Especially if the control only involves me running around chasing spacebrat like a pedobear.

So you lost Legion, you let the Quarians get annihilated and you also let Miranda get killed? What game did you play?

Still my favorite ending out of all three game and all the variations. Ending with a shot of all the fucking Reapers and the orchestral music, I remember the first time I got that ending SOUND SYSTEM WAS BOOMING. So fucking epic.

My Miranda lived. How did she die in yours?

 

[McNei1y]

One long game that killed me on the inside. My victims: Mordin, Miranda, Thane, Tali, Legion, the fake Rachni (almost Grunt), the entire Quarian race, and my innocence before the ending.

My Miranda lived. How did she die in yours?

When I was talking to her father on Sanctuary, I choose the special Paragon option at one point allowing the guy to have a chance. After he saw my way, he let go of Miranda's sister. Right when that happened, Miranda went all biotic crazy and threw him out of the window. She then fell down all exhausted like with wounds all over her body from the Cerberus ninja. She then tells me she loves me and we kiss and then she dies. Thanks for letting my boo go. I actually wouldn't mind my Shepard not living. All he has is Garrus... or I guess he doesn't since he's stranded on some jungle planet.

That ending makes ME3 ending looks and feels even shittier. I can't believe how grand it was in comparison to the limp ending we got in ME3.

I know right? I didn't think this series would get any lower after ME2 but holy shit they pulled it off. After making me think they had redeemed themselves too as I played through ME3.

Evil bastards.

This is so cool now. I want a boss fight with a terminator! Now I want to play ME2.

What did BW do!? Honestly, I'm on the camp that wants a boss fight. I don't care about art, I just want to beat something up at the end.

 

[Eusis]

Except they don't differentiate between war assets going to the Crucible or to the war. The Krogans don't really help get the crucible built. So there'd be no difference if you made it a point to get all the military assets but ignored scientific.

Well, you're probably not going to get high enough for the best ones without some mixing of both, but yeah. This has nothing on ME2's more direct consequences.

I wouldnt mind the dream sequence if it had real purpose and didnt involve a kid I saw for 5 seconds. Omg a kid died! Yeah no shit, so did like hundreds of millions during the war. You could have at least had Shepard protect him or something so there was some sort of bond.

Also, still waiting for female turians. They got off easy with salarians and krogans but eventually you'll have to make a model.

Best lines from that video:

"Might as well be a kid?"

Also, the entire Earth sequence is too long and boring.

Also, stop making me limp for 10 minutes.

The idea with that theory is that he never left Earth, thus, Reapers are still on full attack mode.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. The only way I can make sense of Shepard surviving in the Destroy ending, would be for the ending to have been a hallucination caused by indoctrination.

There are far fewer barriers/shields/armors on enemies but they are also much more aggressive about getting you out of cover.

Or he just pass out and dream it up? We dream fuck up things when we're tired. No need for indoctrination to dream weird things.

There is less. In ME2 with some enemies, you had to go through BARRIER > SHIELDS > ARMOR and THEN health in some cases iirc. You only get 2 at a time now.

Definitely easier, but I think it's mostly because of the improved controls.

Oh well no one got me out of cover cause I was an adept with energy drain. I built like I was playing on Me2 insanity. Too easy and I didnt even have Liara with me on most missions.

Although they did hurt adept by not giving you Miranda aka best adept ally ever.

Yeah, ME2 on insanity was an exercise in peeling multi-layered oranges. That wanted to shoot you with gun.

YOU ARE LITERALLY DOING THE SAME THING RIGHT NOW.

 

[Almighty]

Well screw them then.

Like I said before that is stupid and pretty much takes any future ME game off my list.
Man Bioware has managed to kill any interest i might have in both of their two big series so quickly and utterly. Lucky for me it looks like RPGs thanks to kickstater and the indie scene might be on a come back so I will no longer need to rely on Bioware to get my RPG fix anymore.

 

[WrenchNinja]

All the dream sequences and the catalyst should have just been the Virmire sacrifice. Not vent kid. Would haven better having Ashley and Kaidan haunt you cause of their pointless delaying of the inevitable arrival.

 

[Zeliard]

Also powers as a whole recharge much, much quicker in ME3, especially if you get that recharge bonus up. Pull in a second, Charge in 3 seconds, etc.

 

[McBradders]

So Insanity isn't so bad in this one?

There were points on Normal where I was thinking "f doing this on insanity". I didn't really have any sticking points in two, though...

Thats what allies are for. I barely even needed to use my gun in this game. SMG did most of the damage in 2.
