The Mass Effect ending support group

And all three are better endings than Destroy.

Not buy it.
I have no interest in playing a game that kills off my favorite race and made a protagonist of mine one who supports genocide all so the company can milk them more.

If they retcon the ending to canonise destroy they'd probably retcon the geth being wiped out as well. That was only there to give people pause (which tells you how badly thought out synthesis and control are). Without the geth being annihilated destroy is a no brainer.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, but the easiest ending to canonize is what the old "Cerberus/Alliance News Network" RP site went with...

Which is Control where the Reapers and their creations vanish. No pesky Schrodinger's Geth!

How is green better than red? Thing says nothing negative about green. It's the only ending having it remain. It says it controls the reapers. With green will it be able to control organics as well? It says it can't be forced yet Shepard is forcing it on the galaxy if chosen. Green is the final evolution of all life. That means life won't evolve anymore than what they are currently at. That can't be good. Green works in it's favor not organics. The main reason is because it remains as does it's toys. The same with the blue. That's a no-go. Red gets rid of thing and the reapers. Let the galaxy deal with whatever problem arises. The reapers were never needed.

You were wrong in what you posted. I asked, not said it would.

And more of your useless analogies that has nothing to do with nothing.

Well if the game is just one giant ending, then why introduce a new plot element in the final scene of the game? They should have left the Reaper's motivations unknown or kept it simple, such as they harvest us every 50k purely for self-fulfilling reasons like climbing the food chain of intergalactic apex races.

Please, the synthetic v organic theme had only been brought up a handful of times in the entire trilogy, with the main story arcs of this theme having the potential to completely contradict what the Catalyst is even saying. Your choices don't lead up to that point, they are negated by it. "Helped the Quarian and Geth get along to fight the Reapers? Doesn't matter because you're not fighting the Reapers anymore, instead you're resolving the unfathomably long metaphysical tension across the entire galaxy between organic and synthetic life without any idea or lead up that it even existed in the first place. Oh and if you really want the Reapers dead, well go for it, but you'll also kill the Geth, your squadmate EDI and other random stuff because the beam is sophisticated enough to change everyone's DNA in the entire galaxy on a molecular level, in an instant and for eternity. But it cannot differentiate between Reapers and other AI.



Except for the fact that they didn't rewrite the endings, so complain away. They just put mayonnaise on the poo sandwich. Okay, that is a bit harsh because they did put love into the EC ending, so maybe some lettuce and cheese as well. But the real flaws, the flaws in the narrative coherence of the plot, still remained. Those critiques were either drowned out by people complaining that it was too sad and too brief, or Bioware were too stubborn to change it (until now it looks like). So because the real issues with it were never resolved and instead just elaborated on. As I said, complain away.

And the original endings should always be relevant. This is the entire problem with the gaming industry right here, this attitude that it doesn't matter how a game company releases their game because they can just fix it later. Because then companies do exactly what they did with Mass Effect 3... "Unfinished game? That's okay, as long as it has Day 1 DLC (of a major plot character), a broken and tacked-on Multiplayer you're obligated to play in order to get the best ending, but really because that's where all the cash-grab loot boxes are, then it doesn't need a proper, thematically coherent ending to the game. We can add that later!"

Did you know, that in the final hours interview that came out on release of ME3, they were still toying with cutscene design features for the ending in Nov 2011. Literally 3-4 months before the game was released (not went gold) they still didn't know how to wrap up the ending. That's insane!

Furthermore, what happened in those original endings must be looked at because it's evidence that the quality of work we got (from a once reputable studio) was the Direct result of EA not giving them extensions and pushing it out no matter what condition it was in. This is what Mass Effect 3 was to me in March 2012. And history repeats itself again in Cyberpunk because most gamers have your attitude that it doesn't matter what state a game is in on release, as long as they fix it down the track.

The endings are flat out garbage. Synthesis makes no sense and is an awful violation of trillions of lives. Control is either going to lead back to the cycle or a perfect tyranny. And destroy was arbitrarily bogged down by the deaths of EDI and the Geth just to try and get players to not choose. Refuse? Bioware’s fuck you to the fans for rejecting their “art”.

And this isn’t even bringing up the fact that each non refuse ending has Shepard interacting with the Crucible/Citadel in ways that make no logical sense. Shoot a tube that explodes? Grab high voltage rods? Vaporise your self in a beam? Sure sounds like the starbrat got Shepard to commit suicide...

Fuck the endings.

I chuckled at Death Stary things.

Have an extra like. 👍

If we're talking about the Geth, there are Geth back ups, we do know that from ME2, that should be free of Reaper code and, as such, should be unaffected by the beam. Which leaves EDI and her backup Quantum box that Cerberus has that may or may not be shielded by the Beam. Or did the Alliance have that one? Either way, EDI might not be 100% were we left her, but she'd be, more or less, where we first meet her in the start of ME2. So none of the problems would be insurmountable, to restore the Status Quo, pre-Reaper war.
