MASS EFFECT 3

We like to call that one guy a 'Moron'.

Or the more technical, correct term, "DumbFuck."


Here's the thing about the ending.

It's not underwhelming-it's just out right terrible.

Ignoring the lack of choice, let's look at the only ending Shep survives.

Destroy.

So, this option destroys all synthetic life in the galaxy-including yourself, as the STarChild clearly states that Shep has a lot of synthetic junk holding him together.

This should also mean that anyone like Shep, though not as extremely held together as he is, should be screwed over, even if they just have TIM style eyes.

Which means that the entire Quarian race should be dead along side the Geth and EDI.

And, you know, Shep himself should be dead.

Except he's not.

The only ending that should out and out kill Shep-is the one he survives.

...despite being on the citadel which explodes before we see he survived.

..........so Shep survived all of his synthetic implants getting fried/destroyed/space magicked into oblivion....and the destruction of the citadel....and presumably a fall through orbit to the Earth.

........how?


On top of that, all I really wanted from the ending? To be an ending.

This wasn't.

It was a cliff hanger.

And that'd be fine, if this was ME2, or hell, Halo 2.

If you knew this wasn't going to bring closure to the game.

Yet, the thing is-that's how this was advertised. They said, quote un quote, this was an ENDING. This was the finale for Shep.

....yet we don't see that. We're left with far more questions than we started with, in fact.
 
With all this negativity towards the ending, I'm curious: what were people expecting? How exactly were you looking for it to end? I'll admit the ending was extremely underwhelming, but I'm not quite seeing what the big uproar's about.
An ending where any of choices made in the all three games mattered. Not an ending that is based solely on how many side quests I did or if I played the iPhone app or multiplayer campaign.

An ending that tells me what happened to the characters I'd come to love over the course of three games.

An ending that doesn't go against the themes of the entire series.

An ending that wraps up Shepard's story.


Now really, can you tell me that we shouldn't have expected any of the above? I mean, if it was a shitty series that had always been shitty, then, yeah, our bad for expecting anything. But this is friggin' Mass Effect. What should I have expected instead?

Amen... :buttrock:
 
If the end product isn't just something Bioware is putting out so they can say, 'we listened, now stfu', then maybe I'll care. Guess we'll see.
 
At least the DLC is free. Lord knows, the back lash would've been FAR much worse had Bioware demanded people paid money for it.
