Mass Effect 3 rave reviews

[blackstar]

I actually lol'd when I read you had to play the entire game to get the best ending. For reals?[chin]

really hefty spoilers

Spoiler!

im not sure if the ultimate paragon ending can be had or not with a "canon" runthrough, but from what i saw its not worth replaying the first 2 to get. if you did that you'd be stoked for the ending and let down bigtime - the only diff before the epilogue is a brief cutscene that hints shep is (barely) alive, rather then vaporized or liquidized. shep is still alone and the crew are marooned elsewhere (even any crew with you on earth are not shown), and galactic civilisation is still likely to be destroyed - the storytelling is not good enough to be sure (which makes no sense with 2 of the endings but i guess it saved them rendering different outcomes)

it seems strange as there is so little diff between any endings, and there is no "good" ending with any closure at all. it reminded me of the DA2 ending and im not even being snarky - its totally devoid from the trilogy people just played for 50 hours or so and tacked on the end. buzz aldrin owns tho. people will be sad and annoyed.

Woah you are forgetting the two DUMBEST parts of the ending.

Spoiler!

The fact that the reapers were created to stop organic life from creating synthetic life that would wipe out organic life. [rofl] And then the TELL ME ANOTHER STORY GRANDPA, that's right it was all just a story a grandpa was telling his grandson. DUMB. [rofl]

hahahaha.

Then there is a scene where one of the female crew members says they found EDIs voice hot! Totally NOT rubbing it in our face....! Oh wait.

[blackstar]

heh now i know you saw the endings

the epilogue -

Spoiler!

weirdly the epilogue ignores the "merge" ending - everyones part machine, except the guys doing the epilogue.

the whole dark matter plot thing was replaced indeed.
they were "inspired by" a scifi story that was really good, but i cant remember the name of it right now.

The story they stole it from is Gurren Lagann.

Spoiler!

theres another story where a civilization turns themselves into machines and start reconfiguring the stars to prevent imminent (to them, its billions of years in the future) destruction of the universe.
they wipe out sentient life because they think it might hinder them doing it.

its been a long time since i've read it, so no idea who the author was of that one, anyway.

Mods, can we delete or move the spoilerific ending discussions to a separate thread to avoid any accidental discoveries?

I don't care who finds what great/poor when it comes to this type of dialogue less than 24 hours after release. Thank you.

They are covered by spoiler buttons, get over it.

you should delete or add spoiler tags to "what you read" about the endings, if you dont want people to be spoilered unintentionally. everything else is spoiler tagged, we are playing nice!
