@Antarte: Well... It also easy to recognize a moron... Normally it assumes it knows what other people are and tries to act from a superior point of view... In the end... is just a sad person...
@PrpleTrtleBuBum: "i wanted to ask more but the uncertainty kinda made it more delicious"
Funny you say the word uncertainty... because thats what the ending is, you accepting the word of the enemy. An AI whose argumentation can be disproved easily.
"realized after that reapers won as the game reveals it to me i would have clapped"
Then you can clap... They won, not because you choose synthesis (or destroy or control), but because you choose, and ultimately you choose the glowing kid choices... so yes, he won...
IT was just a way for fans to bring logic to the plot holes and the bad writing, unfortunately, nothing more... With the EC the only ending who could lead to IT was the refusal ending...
"how the game managed to make me throw my 180+ hours spent in 3 games into trash bin"
Funny... I felt that and the villain of the game at the same time... But I was playing the Paragon Shepard, so obviously, He would never choose none of those choices...
"they cant seriously make me4 now and say yes indoctrination happened and only destroy ending was the allowed choice"
They killed that choice with the EC... If you choose destroy you are still choosing one of the kid´s choice. The only choice against the kid is refusal...
"wanted to ask the kid more but thats true for many discussion thorough the trilogy"
That would be crazy, to ask things to the kid... Lets try:
Kid: Synthetics and Organics cannot coexist...
Shepard: But... The Geth and the Quarians...
Kid: Shut up, I said they can´t coexist so they cant coexist...
PS: In my prime of hating this game I would use when the kid says there is no time to explain... LOL... Now, after so many years I don't remember the exact words...
@climhazard5: "The game was gorgeous, the combat was a blast, the sound design top notch, excellent writing.. and the music."
Agree with everything except the writing.Tuchanka and Rannosh the only good exceptions... Otherwise the most stupid writing I ever saw in a video game... and this was not only just a videogame, this was the end of a trilogy. A game with background, and that background was two masterpieces (ME1 and ME2)...
"Not your cup of tea?"
ME yes... ME3 certainly not...
"hope you do have something out there in the vast world of gaming that you enjoy."
Of course my friend... almost all games, this one is the only exception... LOL...
I dont know either... Let me think... In my game your crew (at least two of them) are following you in your run to the beam... Harbinger is killing everyone, he hits you, but them your friends disappear, somehow they return to the normandy (more space magic), Harbinger leaves the beam unprotected and them we face the real hero of ME3, Marauder shields and the three musketeers...
Oh wait... Right... Let's use now the EC... your crew (at least two of them) is following you in your run to the beam... Harbinger is killing everyone, you stop in the middle of the fight, tell your friends to go away, Harbinger as a nice guy stops the killing, takes a coffee and see that beauthiful scene with the Normandy arriving and leaving with your friends...
Look... Do you really want me to continue?
I´m asking because this game is like a perfect storm of stupidity... and I dont want to ruin your selective memories...
@PrpleTrtleBuBum: To continue the story they would need to choose an ending... by choosing one the other endings become meaningless... But the irony is that, there is no good choice...
If they choose destroy then there is only one final result, the extinction of all organic life at the hands of the synthetics... I´m not saying I agree with this view, I´m just using ME3 narrative against itself...
"the idea of protheans realizing they cant win with a anti-reaper mega cannon but try other ways was brilliant pragmacy"
Maybe... but then you have to stop and take a look at the final weapon... let me rephrase: A weapon that no one knows what it is, what it does, if works or even if the schematics are complete. And the best part, a weapon the needs to do in an unknown structure that no one knows...
And by knowing this we can laugh or cry... its up to the player... LOL
