[QUOTE=Fables;35057536][sp] Ehh, I went with Synergy anyways. Shepard dies, we all become augmented, best ending IMO. [/sp][/QUOTE]
I'll just try to get killed by a disgruntled employee so we can have a 17 year old save the world later...
Installed, time to play since it's been UK release for a bit :dance:
[QUOTE=IMoo;35057593]So was i the only one who thought that Asian ninja guy was kaiden?
[B]Come on i cant be the only one that thought that.[/B] Those of you who saved kaiden since your gay then obviously not.[/QUOTE]
I think you are, actually.
So since I had some money to spare, I bought some bioware points and used them to buy the spectre crates. They're honestly not that great unless you want a buttload of medi-gel and rockets. But at least I have almost every class now, I just need Krogan solider, Quarian and Salarian engineer and Battlefield 3 guy.
And after that I played as a Quarian infiltrator and won the match by headshotting almost every Guardian and killing all Atlases
[sp]Does anyone know what circumstances trigger the endings where you live? I've found the BIK files.[/sp]
[sp]I laughed at Wreav wanting Australia after the war was ended. Krogan and aussies would get along so well![/sp]

[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;35057488]I love sad endings to things, like I said, I'd've been more pissed off than this ending if it were a happy ending. That would have been the generic ending we've all seen a million times over, it doesn't make me feel anything anymore when people put a happy ending to their stories. It's just done to death, I don't feel anything when it ends happily, the first few times I see it sure, but it's just that every story ever ends happily and it's just boring now. "Oh look, shepard survived and all the people who he's come to love are alive and they're all living out their lives happily ever after, what a surprise."[/QUOTE]
That's fair. [sp] If you prefer a sadder ending then the option should be available to you. However, given this is a trilogy that has prided itself on choice affecting the outcome, there should be an option for a happy ending as well.
We've gone through two games and done the impossible, and both endings felt triumphant. Now...I mean what was the point? Why did I save the geth if I have to kill them anyway? Why tear me apart from my friends and never let me see them again? Why destroy the entire foundation of the galaxy and leave everything in total disarray?[/sp]
I'm sorry, but I genuinely do believe that Bioware royally screwed this one up. I'm 30 hours into the game right now and so far, everything's about at a 9.5/10. With the ending? 8/10, and that might be generous.

[sp]Actually, I think in the paragon ending where you take control of the Reapers, the mass relays aren't supposed to explode, since the Citadel doesn't explode and they don't show a cutscene of them falling apart like in the Red and Green endings. It just looks like they do due to a reuse of footage and not cutting it off in time. So really, the paragon ending simply ends the Reaper threat and steals the Citadel (I think).[/sp]
So I finished it off. I think [sp]EDI and Joker[/sp] completely ignored my advice and are banging each other anyway.
overall I'd give the game a 7/10. fun to play but too many niggling bits that I hate

[sp]Well everything that happened in the game you can still rest knowing that you saved everyone from extinction, you may not have saved civilization as we know it, but you still singlehandedly stopped everything from dying.[/sp]

[sp]Want to know the strange thing though? That's not good enough. Especially with Bioware's focus on making you connect with the characters and universe. When you really start thinking about it, Bioware literally -destroyed- the Mass Effect universe. Relays? Gone. Citadel? Gone. All the races are stranded, which means the galactic infrastructure will be in total collapse. As for the forces stranded on Earth, that means Earth will have to handle many refugees of all species, and if food can't be developed in time then the turians and quarians will die. The galaxy is FUCKED, even in the good ending.[/sp]

[sp] Don't the Geth and EDI also get fucked if you choose destroy? [/sp]
[QUOTE=Fables;35057932][sp] Don't the Geth and EDI also get fucked if you choose destroy? [/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]Yep! So all that time we spent helping the geth is made completely irrelevant for a bullshit reason.[/sp]
GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY BATMAN LOOK AT ALL THOSE SPOILERS
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35057946][sp]Yep! So all that time we spent helping the geth is made completely irrelevant for a bullshit reason.[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp] Yeah, still going with the ripped off Helios ending from Deus EX. Everyone lives, we're all joined into a hive mind, and there's peace in the galaxy for once. [/sp]
MASS EFFECT STILL NOT HERE
To summarize the whole thread;
[sp]
would an ending where [sp]shepard saves the galaxy and destroy the reapers been cliché and boring? probably. would i have enjoyed it more? yes.[/sp]
Where the hell can I find Kelly Chambers?

Still wouldn't have made me feel anything, only happy ending to a story ever that made me feel any sense of emotion ever was The Forever War.
how are these endings bad guys
I just EXPERIENCED the "best" ending
how is this not the best possible ending this series could have

Simple: Nothing I do matters. At all.
While I don't believe for a second that Bioware's intention was to piss off seemingly 80% of their fanbase...they did.
why and how
they got fucking buzz aldrin to [sp]tell the bedtime story of shepard[/sp]
[sp]Having the Thresher Maw attack the Reaper was brilliant. Easily one of the best scenes in ME. Shame that Mordin had to sacrifice himself. He will be missed[/sp]
[sp] I just wish I could tell that kid that peace between synthetics and organics is possible, and the Geth are an example of that. I could never get myself to chose the destroy ending, it would invalidate Legion's sacrifice. I chose Synthesis. [/sp]

So user reviews on Metacritic are kinda horrifying...

Sadly he [sp]didn't sing for me. All he did was say how easy it was to fix the sabotage, then do a short three sentence monologue about, "fixing the Genophage, it's over" (which were his final legible words I think.)[/sp]
[QUOTE=flamehead5;35058172]So user reviews on Metacritic are kinda horrifying...[/QUOTE]
Critic score is made by a bunch of reviewers who are paid off by EA, user score is lowered by people who hate Bioware or are butthurt about the ending and all give it a 0, don't trust either.
