Everything Wrong With Mass Effect 3 Redux by GCN

Here's a question: why did Starkid need Shepard for the Green? If it needed a cyborg, wouldn't any cyborg do?

Hell, it could have waited for battery to dock and have TIM, or a cyborg that it created for the sole purpose of jumping into the beam in order to trigger the Green Beam.

But it doesn't say that though. Hell, Saren was implanted, yet his "synthesis" ended up with him being controlled by Sov.

How do we know that is what the Green actually does?

After all, it's very vague on the details.

Even more so when you allow an genocidal AI have full control of every lifeform in the galaxy.

A Heavily flawed Genocidal AI having full control of every lifeform in the galaxy is always a bad thing. Also Within Control, When Shepard takes over the position by copying his mind to wherever the AI is stored is bad in the long term.

Always curious how a single line is used as proof of this claim. While ignoring the remaining 99.99999% of the game.

Mac and Casey wrote the book. Benioff and Weiss just did a really good job of copying it. I was never invested in GoT, so I didn't really care, but just seeing the leaks for Season 8? Holy shit, you guys had it rough. Now HBO can't get anything off the ground that's GoT related. It's dead.

I'd argue there's a difference between the perpetuity of a franchise, finishing a story and making the the gore porn Saw death scene equivalent out of your IP, which is more among the lines of what Bioware did to ME, with the ME3 endings. Andromeda was never going to have the appeal of Shepard and co. to the greater audience, regardless, (the MET is not something you can ignore) but it could build a solid base from which to grow. However, due to the endings and to a lesser extent, Andromeda's own woes, people just didn't care.

It's actually curious how some people nitpick things from the MET's lore in order to fuel their fan favourite races or characters in the game.

Or just downright ignore the things they do and say "but you're ignoring 99.99999% of the game!". It's kinda childish.

I winced. I gotta admit, you made me wince.


Again, I don't care for Bioware's "choices". You keep picking that battle. I'm just waiting for the inevitable retcon, at this point.


Yeah, OK. You sure showed me. I don't even understand this argument. I am what and who I am. That's not going to change. You're not going to change it. Bioware is the one left with an unsalvageable mess. If they don't need the people who disliked ME3, then the franchise should have continued successfully, regardless. But it didn't. So fuck me and my personal bias. What about what happened after ME3? Am I supposed to support Bioware regardless? What did you expect was going to happen?

That's pretty much how the Mass Effect franchise is going to go from now till it eventually ends, endless arguments.

There's no good game coming out. Why would it, at this point? ME3 has gone down as one of the absolute worst endings in gaming history, if not the worst. There's no coming back from it. Which makes everything that comes after it, very painful to watch. All ME has to look forward to is limping from one title to the next. Even if they undo ME3, they've lost people for good and they are not coming back. New people will stay away from it, because of that. It's not going to be the same, regardless. Like Star Wars, after TLJ, like GoT after season 8. You can invest in ME, you can rebuild it, it's not going to be worth it. At best, you're going to see some pay off for it in ME6, come 2030, at the earliest. Just dump it, at this point.
