  • This year I played the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time. Great series, and 3 was honestly the best (although obviously that ending was pretty iffy).

    Found this video by accident, bet Shepard died before finishing the Silmarillion

    "The next mass effect game" Yeah... Still, control is the way - Shep gets to be a powerful reaper-controlling demigod. Thus he/she has enough time to finally read Silmarillion

    Basically choosing anything but the destroy ending feels wrong, the whole point of the 3 games is stopping the reapers no matter the cost, even Shep's own life.

      I thought the whole point of the game was forging friendships and alliances. Destroying the Geth kind of ruins that theme for me, so I rarely choose the destroy ending.

      I never chose the destroy ending. Has nothing to do with shepard though, I didn't want to kill AIs such as EDI. I always choose the blue or green ending

      Yeah, and EDI’s monologue at the end is really good, I think.

      To be honest, even if Shepard survived the genocide ending, they're both physically broken from the citadel ruins on them and have non-functioning life support that kept them resurrected in games 2 and 3. They’ll die soon after literally feeling the weight of an entire space station on them.

      you're right. It's you mission to STOP the reapers. STOP doesn't have to mean DESTROY.
      In one ending Shepard takes over as Catalyst and uses the reapers as he sees fit (which judging from the post credit scenes he does in a benevolent way)
      In the other ending we see how Shepard sacrifices himself to allow the catalyst to implement a new solution to his perceived problem, taking away the necessity to harvest all intelligent life every 50K years and granting the galaxy access to the collective knowledge of the countless civilizations that came before that is so thoughtfully preserved in all the reapers build over the billions of years they have existed.
      Regardless the Reapers cycle of (as perceived by mortals) genocide has been ended. Thus the Reapers have been STOPPED. If all you see is mindless killing machines when talking about the Reapers you really haven't been paying attention to the lore and reading between the lines.

    I have to give a slight edge to ME2 as far as "best of the franchise" is concerned. The suicide mission was amazing. Your earlier choices in the game had consequences and affected outcomes during that mission. I would crown ME3 as the winner if it weren't for the ending. Bioware did not stick the landing. However, there were many great moments in ME3 and some solid DLC.

    If you have enough war assets and choose destroy Shepard does NOT die.

      No he is dead, bioware realized that keeping multiple plotlines going is not scalable long term.

    Loving these. Can you do one about the Metal Gear franchise? I would love to hear your thoughts on each game's story.

      Haven't played 'em, so idk anything about that franchise.

    The correct choice is wait for modders to fix it.
