    It moved like a retard, and it's appearance was perhaps a bit too similar to a T800 (

    ), but overall I didn't have any problems with it. How so?

    I still haven't played this but did you guys seriously expect a good ending after the stupidest ending ever on a videogame (Mass Effect 2)?

    The final mission was disproportionately small compared to the rest of the game and it was a pretty standard, albeit appreciated, ending... but stupid? Why?

    I liked it.

    In any case, you ain't seen nothing yet. Have you played DX:HR btw?

    The indoctrination theory is only applicable to the very end of the game (about right after you went through the energy beam). It's a load of crap though and it's just a way for fans to escape the reality of the shitty ending.

    I seriously think that retconning the entire ending is a possibility. And I hope it happens.

    Also, I just have to mention that the guy quoted in this post elegantly details what the fuck is wrong with the ending, it's an interesting read!

    I'm done too. When I was 95% through the game I was soooo ready to shell out for the day 1 DLC, but now this universe is dead to me until this mess gets cleaned up.

    As for the reaper/grander power plot, I would've liked any ending to focus on the reapers and I would've preferred to have certain aspects of their nature remain a mystery (including a possible force "above" the reapers). The reapers are the "grander" force in the story, and describing their exact purpose in great detail would ruin their unearthly, alien "image". I also would have liked Tali/Mordin/Liara and other intelligent squadmembers/characters to speculate more openly about the reapers motives towards/after the end. In which case the reapers wouldn't be explained fully but there would be enough food for thought to keep things from being dickishly vague.

    But... eh... I don't know. All I know for certain is that the current ending is horseshit.

    I picked the same ending for the same reasons. And yeah, the deserted planet crash is a big WTF. I'm not sure if you have to powergame the multiplayer to get the "best" ending. Did your end cutscene hint at Shepard's survival (by a person in N7 armour waking up in some rubble)?

    Concerning the reaper's motives, I wouldn't object to leaving them unknown, or vague, as long as the ending wrapped up everything else nicely (including the reapers demise). Ramblings about chaos and order doesn't really explain anything though, as you mentioned.

    But don't try to make sense of it. It only hurts. Just forget the whole ordeal and wait for BioWare to retcon this whole clusterfuck in a DLC.

    Even worse than deus ex 3?

    Yes. After three games in the same continuity and with the same characters, you're more emotionally invested in the Mass Effect universe and thus more vulnerable to this kind of sucker punch (atleast I was). Even if you don't consider that background, the Mass Effect 3 ending is on a whole different level of retardedness. It is yet another "thinking man's" shooter that collapsed towards the end with it's storyline (hello Bioshock and DXHR)...

    Quote from Serenius

    From what I understand, if you don't complete the multiplayer leg or do all the side content and amass every resource, you get a big ol' kick in the nads of an ending. I'm guessing most people who have finished it rushed through instead of approaching it like a completionist for the best possible ending.

    You can get kicked in the nads if you do things really bad. Even so, all the endings are roughly the same and each ending is as dreadful as the next one. I completed nearly everything (like 99%) and had a 99% rating from co-op multiplayer, which affects the ending, and got the supposedly "good" ending... my ass it was!

    Oh and there's a hitler parody that is fucking spot on. Spoilers ahoy.

    It's lame as shit, basically.

    To me, extradition is reasonable when used for crimes, primarily serious offenses, that have been commited in another country (for example, if this guy had shot 7 cops while he was vacationing in Texas, then this would be another story). Why can't the guy be tried in the UK? It's just silly.

    Ah well, I guess the UK has to honor the "special relationship" with the US...

    I like it, very clean and simple. I don't think it would hurt to have some more screenshots for each level.

    Do you mean in the gallery page or on the main page? A gallery page for both projects is on the to-do list and I may overhaul the current screens.
