Gross bald/near bald. Nasty looking cunt.

[(Anonymous)]

Trooooooooooolllll

[ariakas]

Does anyone believe a word he says?

Everything he says it fucking moronic - why would you?

[rivia]

you and almost everybody else.

except me, who chose synthesis the first and only time i've gotten to the end because I JUST WANTED IT TO BE OVER and my character was facing straight ahead.

[(Anonymous)]

This sorta happened to me. It was 4 in the morning and I was just so tired and wanted it to end and I figured that green had to be the best option because it wasn't the typical red or blue.

Was I ever wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

I completely tuned the kid out while he was talking at the end and then had no idea what either of the options were so I automatically drifted to the paragon/synthesise option. When I realised that was the one that had shown the Illusive Man touching it, I turned to go the other way and my Shepard actually died because I took so long dicking around lol. I am the best commander.

[renegadeinterrupt]

the first time I wasn't paying attention to where each option was and Synthesis wasn't available so I just started walking and ended up at Destroy.

It kind of felt right anyways since you talk for three games about destroying the Reapers. And like the secret I'm not sure I believed anything the kid said anyway, including about that option destroying EDI and the geth too..

[elaminator]

Man, me fucking too. (The one and only time I've beaten it with my full paragon character. OH WELLS.)

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck that kid.

Seriously, I hated him from the first time I saw him. "You can't save me." OH, REALLY?! I'm only Commander Fucking Shepard, (I believe "Fucking" is the canonical first name). Hero of the citadel. Savior of the human race. But no, you should totally go with those random nobodies, that will definitely work out for you.

OH WAIT. *explosion*

And then he haunts my dreams because he failed so hard. You are awarded no points for a blatant attempt at emotional manipulation Bioware, and may god have mercy on your soul.

[(Anonymous)]

LMAO! I know jack about the ME universe, but I was watching my SO play this game I was like "WTF kid! Come on, get to the mothafucking choppa with me, the fucking hero, not some plebes!"

[(Anonymous)]

Me too. Couldn't stand that kid.

When I saw him near the end, I out loud went 'oh, what are YOU doing here' and he walked up to Shepard and said the EXACT SAME THING which bugged me because, no, I asked YOU first. But since then, every video I've watched on youtube of the ending has shown him say 'Wake up' to Shepard instead. Does anyone know if what he says at the end depends on if you paragon or renegade him the first time you see him in the vent? I'm curious to know but not sure I want to replay the entire game just to see.

[(Anonymous)]

sa It may have been 'what do you want' actually, not what are you doing here.

[insanenoodlyguy]

YOU GETH MURDERING MONSTER.

Inquiring non-fan wants to know...

[(Anonymous)]

I've read a plot summary of ME3 and seen several people rant about it online, but I still cannot for the life of me understand why it's so hated. It doesn't sound brilliant to me, it just sort of sounds like any other ending of a story. If that makes any sense. Usually when someone explains a bad ending I can tell right away why it's terrible. (I'm looking at you xxxHoLiC.)

Does it contradict the themes presented throughout the game previously? Is it OOC? Is it overly pessimistic? Is it a obvious fuck you from the creators? Is it too fanfic-y? Too cliffhanger? My best guess is that it appears to be a extreme non sequitur to the rest of the game? Something about a little boy? What the f?

Someone tell me so I can move on with my life. ;___;

Re: Inquiring non-fan wants to know...

[(Anonymous)]

Unfortunately, I haven't played this game, so idk, but I'm with you on xxxHolic. Worst. Fucking. Ending. Ever. *still bitter*

Re: Inquiring non-fan wants to know...

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't played the third game yet but most of the complaints I've seen is we were promised many endings but only ended up with three and that it's very hard to keep Shepard alive. To have Shepard live you apparently have to get certain choices right in all three games.

Re: Inquiring non-fan wants to know...

[(Anonymous)]

This is my personal experience, and I can't speak for everyone else, but in the shortest of the short;a lot of the hatred I noticed came from what the devs said about the ending, and what actually happened;
"Your choices will matter!"
"It won't be an A/B/C ending!"
"You'll love it!"

When in actuality, it felt like your choices didn't matter in the slightest because it was an A/B/C ending, and only in one of those does your character possibly live... and that's only if you have a high enough score.

Re: Inquiring non-fan wants to know...

[(Anonymous)]

My problem was that it seemed as though my choices from all three games didn't really matter in the end. I loved ME3 but was really disappointed initially. I think there are variations of each ending but aside from what they imply every ending is kind of the same. I personally just wish the endings had been very different from each other, even if there weren't that many. I think fans were mad because they put a lot of time into these games and felt they deserved more/didn't get what they expected. I also think it could deter people from replaying the series - if you don't get a drastically different ending then why go through the games again making different choices?

However I also think a ton of fans acted completely entitled and obnoxious about it. Yeah, I was pissed about the ending - for maybe a week. Aside from the end though I thought it was an awesome game and would definitely replay it (and the others). I think fans who were disappointed with the ending are justified, but I also think a lot of fans reacted very poorly.

Re: Inquiring non-fan wants to know...

[rydain]

ME3's ending is hated because it is an asspull that offers neither closure nor denouement, contradicts a bunch of the series' own lore including the plot of ME1, explains the looming Big Bad's motivations as asinine circular logic, and craps all over the prior games' precedent for player-driven narrative. It is the exact sort of button press A, B, C choice that the developers specifically promised not to deliver, and every "choice" blows a universe we fell in love with back to a dark age. I tried to summarize my gripes in accessible fashion here.

Long video is long, but is very specific and explains exactly everything I hated about the ending. If I tried to explain it I think it would just turn into unintelligible rage.

Re: Inquiring non-fan wants to know...

From what I've read:


Does it contradict the themes presented throughout the game previously?

Yes.

Is it OOC?

Apparently.

Is it overly pessimistic?

Overwhelmingly so.

Is it a obvious fuck you from the creators?

Possibly!

Is it too fanfic-y?

That would have been a mercy.

Too cliffhanger?

More like too "everyone is going to die now, good job, player!".

My best guess is that it appears to be a extreme non sequitur to the rest of the game?

Quite a bit of that too.

Something about a little boy?

The little jerk.

What the f?

That's a perfect summary, yeah.

[cure_light]

Nobody does. It's so obvious that it must be intentional. Either that or the ME3 team just suddenly become completely incompetent at the very end of the game.

[bored_bitch]

Revelant gif:



That whole issue with the kid bothered the hell out of me, in general, even before I knew he was the Catalyst / starchild / whatever the fuck.
It seemed just so out of character for Shepard.
This is a war. Everyone knew this, especially Shepard. This one single kid isn't what should be haunting you. Entire worlds and peoples are being destroyed.

[miarrow]

I assumed that one of the options WOULDN'T wipe out a species I'd just saved and destroy the Mass Relays which would have insane implications. If I ever get the energy to play again, I'm going to Renegade that shit.
