Re: Inspired by #4...

I'm here if you ever need to mourn the ending of Mass Effect. Again.

Re: Inspired by #4...

Ugh, you probably shouldn't get me started.

I hate the Catalyst SO much. SO MUCH. Can't believe you have to listen to that little blue punk go on about how storing humans in reaper form is somehow saving the galaxy and then you actually have to choose between options that he gives you. It irritates me that you can't win the old fashioned way, with your war assets. Couldn't the crucible have been a regular weapon? I know it would've been predictable, but then you wouldn't have the catalyst, and I'm convinced almost anything would make up for that.

Plus, for the ending of a major trilogy, the final battles were a let down. The fact that you only took your couple of your team with you and never even saw any of your war assets stupefied me. What was the point in amassing them in the first place? Imagine if you could have planned strategies (maybe sort of like in ME2 where you gave your team orders and the success of the mission, and the outcome of their safety depended on it), fought beside Krogan and Hanar and Drell. An ending where you amass an army then don't ever see them actually fight is wasted potential.

I'm always going to be bitter about that. I just think it could've been so much more unique and interesting had there been some strategy and had it involved the people and groups you'd brought together earlier in the game. I don't like most the final choices, either. Or Shepard having to make the choice for EVERYONE. Synthesis in particular gives me the creeps and control just seems arrogant and impossible.

Ugh, BioWare...

No worries. I know exactly what you mean. I completely agree too. Plus, they built up Harbinger and you never even get to kill him in a boss fight. What the fuck?

Plus, most of it just doesn't make any logical sense. It suddenly swerves into really sloppy writing. The final choices are bullshit. It's really anti-climactic because it's like all three go against what all three games have built up to. I think they were trying for something deep and meaningful but just got confusing and stupid. (Also morally repugnant.)

Also, this isn't really ending related but I was so angry about Javik. He constituted most of the Collector's Edition. That's bullshit. It was just so much bullshit. I got the collector's edition but was so disappointed with what I got. I never preorder games now.

Re: Inspired by #4...

I wanted nothing more than to fight Harbinger. I can't believe they passed that opportunity up. I think BioWare did want to do something "thoughtful" and "different", but I never got over how terrible the endings were. Or the fact that killing the reapers (something you had set out to do in ME1, and something you never really get a good reason not to do) is the renegade option. That upset me.

I hate the state the end of the game leaves the ME universe in, I hate how it feels like your choices don't really matter that much, I hate...god, I hate so much. SO MUCH.

I never even got to recruit Javik. (Or the other DLC characters.) I even brought my xbox over to my brothers house in the attempt of downloading the Collector's Edition stuff but I fucked it up and it didn't work. IMO pre-orders are rarely worth it. I don't even bother anymore unless I just want to be sure I get a copy of the game day one.

Re: Inspired by #4...

Actually, Control is the renegade option. They just switched colors... because they could... apparently.

We pretty much hate everything. *fistbump of solidarity* I personally, also have a problem with the growing sexism in the series. It's like it gets worse with each game. Which is... weird and backwards.

That sucks balls man. I wish I could help you with that.
