ME3's ending is fine. There's no reason to pick any ending other than destroy unless you just plain didn't pay attention to the game at all. Yeah it kinda blows that EDI and the Geth end up dying, but war is like that. Shepard lives and can continue banging Garrus.

"No you TOTALLY can control the Reapers Shepherd. Heh heh." I haven't played in years, but can someone remind why the Mass Relays had to explode in the control and synthesis endings? The destruction of the relays is, like, by the far the most significant thing about the endings (other than stopping the Reapers), but it doesn't really get much emphasis for either Shepherd or the player. They just kind of gloss over it as I recall, but billions of people are going to probably die just from that alone (ignoring the obviously non-canonical extended ending here). But the relay destruction is kind of the main reason Andromeda...is the way that it is.

He wanted to dominate the Reapers and use them as a weapon. Saren wanted to submit and prove his usefulness to them. In the Control ending, Shepard effectively becomes the Reaper AI with his/her morality determining the new reaper protocol. Or did you think it was a total accident in a game whose main themes center around cycles and the sins of the past returning to haunt us in the present, that the galaxy-harvesting, cybernetic "reapers" are then replaced by a half-man, half-machine character named "Shepard"?

Having been replaying ME3, the game constantly beats you over the head that it wants you to choose synthesis. The mistake they made is that the super special ending with Shepard living is with destroy, so that's what everyone is going to want to choose because they want Shep to live happily ever after with their waifu or Garrus.

With all the DLC story stuff and the extended ending the ending actually seems totally fine. It's not great or anything but once they did all the patching it's just meh if anything.

the revamped ending is, uh, worse like the original ending is bad but it stuck to its guns the extended cut adds a bunch of nonsensical mealy-mouthed compromises they should have either kept it as-is or revamped it entirely tbh

You can tell they wanted the Synthesis ending to be the good ending just because you have the destroy ending by default, unlock control at a certain amount of war score and then synthesis at more after that. That's an explicit value judgement. Also the Refusal ending is absolutely the most petty thing they could've included.

Drifter posted:Such as? I mean they have the Normandy fly down immediately (from where?) to pick your wounded squadmates up in the middle of what was supposed to be an all-out dash to the beam meanwhile Harbinger, who has been firing his capital-ship caliber beams at individual soldiers, just kind of looks at the cruiser hovering for like two minutes over the battlefield. he even *turns to watch it go* and all of this was in the service of *yet another* emotional goodbye to your squadmates. some of the moments are kind of nice and loaded with pathos but they're absurd when you see the murdergod robot in the background chilling out like it's ... a cutscene in a video game. like I said, either leave it as-is or revamp it entirely

Yeah, the post cut-scenes explaining what exactly happened were needed, because Destroy seemed to imply that not only were you crippling the entire galactic community, you were also probably killing hundreds of thousands of turians and quarians who were caught in levo space with no food. Normandy flying down to get your crewmembers while harbinger stands awkwardly in the background trying to remember his line is dumb, and is there because they had to justify the beam team being there during the final cutscene to hang your plaque up on the wall on the jungle planet. Which was dumb and continues to be dumb. And yes the "Shoot the child ending" is just spiteful. "Oh you don't like one of our three perfect endings then gently caress you we'll get someone who does."

SubponticatePoster posted:Let's be fair now, they're extremely useful if you need someone to get killed or to gently caress something up. Every sci-fi race is good at just one thing: Turians are good at military discipline, Salarians are good at being fast, Asari are good at being sexy, and Quarians are good at making AI's. Unfortunately this led to them being kicked off their planet onto ships that they weren't good at maintaining, in an artificial environment they weren't good at regulating, looking for a new planet they weren't good at finding. All without their really efficient labor force they had built to do all the things they weren't good at. It'd be like if the entire Asari race contracted an STD that was only fatal to non-Asari.

The fact that the shoot star kid ending, which was patched in with the changed endings and not available at release, had the star kid roar at you in Harbinger's voice when you shoot him just proves that all the endings were all bad endings and you were being tricked. Refusal is the only moral choice.

I would have liked to have been able to push a switch and have starkid transform into a sexy Asari hologram, and then been given the opportunity to seduce her/it in order to get her to reprogram the reapers for peaceful exploration purposes. Destroy ending, more like Destroy Dat rear end ending.
