The Refusal Ending is a blatant cockslap to everyone that hates the three endings available. It's kind of funny.

I didn't get that from it.

It was the best ending, though.

The endings still suck donkey balls.

"You refuse our endings, everything you have is now destroyed"



Anyway, the way I see it, a lot of the more bothersome plot holes were filled, and the game can at least have an ending that is more or less sensical. I at least get closure with these endings, even if they do kind of suck.

Destroy Ending is the best though, in my opinion.

Except the most glaring.

Why are these the only choices?

Another bad one comes with the Control Ending.

If the starchild controls the Reapers, why the frick can't he just call them off at Shepard's whim? Why did Shepard have to sacrifice himself?


I agree though, there should have been a way to just flip the power switch on the Reapers without annihilating the Geth and EDI. But like I said, the ending is passable to me now, I feel like the series got a bit of closure, or a hell of a lot more then it had as of yesterday.

yup

He can merge all organic and synthetic DNA. . .including the reapers. . .but he can't just tell the reapers to fly into the fricking sun?

And the justification of the reaper's mission is still amazingly retarded

I agree. The new endings are more detailed and provide more closure than what we had before. We still have this dumb-arse god-child shite and are left with 3 (4) choices that are all pretty shitty.

Is it not possible to just frick the reapers (or control them) without destroying all synthetics, or Shepard, or blowing up the mass relays. Hell, I don't even understand why the mass relays blew the frick up if you controlled the reapers.


tl;dr: new endings are better, but the whole god-child scene is still dumb and completely blind-sided a fantastic series with a pile of bullshite.

They are better than what we had. Crazy AI god child stuck in a cartesian logic circle doesnt fix the fact that, like the day 1 DLC, it should have all been included on the original disc. At least they fixed the whole mass relay destruction kills the entire system thing.

except, because of the information you were able to gain on the reapers, the next cycle was able to actually destroy the reapers, instead of having to rely on some stupid kid (AI construct)..

I guess. The whole thing just seemed like their way of pimpslapping people that refused their endings to me.

Or, he could have done that on his own at any point in the past preemptively negating the need for the cycles in the first place. But plots are so overrated these days.

Did you not go into the credits 3 minutes after the credits started!?!

There is dialog about the next cycle.. and how the actions of "The Shepard" allowed for them to win their war, that their lives allowed for a better future..

Man.. people gotta watch stuff instead of just writing it off.

ETA: The dialog is way into the next cycle, after they have "won the war" against the Reapers.

I watched credits where a hologram of Liara was explaining their war with the Reapers and how they lost.

ETA: Watched it, still blows.

How so? You get to stay "true paragon" and by doing so, exactly what has to happen.. happens. You can't expect them to win that war after what we had seen before that point.

I still don't understand Bioware's blatant disregard for valid criticism. The softball interview that Walters and Hudson did with Mrs. Potato Face showed me just how blissfully oblivious they are to the want their fanbase.

I would be down for 1 prequel, showing the beginning of the Reapers and 1 sequel dealing with a new threat that spawns from the reapers not being able to do the "cycle" anymore.
