Because they have thousands of unstoppable dreadnoughts of death?

That's why they WILL win.  But should they?

EVERYONE IN GALAXY WOULD BE DEAD, AGAIN!

Not everyone, worthy species like humans are seamlessly incorporated to  Reapers.

If that happened then humans would still all be dead. Just a Reaper made of many human pieces would remain.

First, they build things to last.

No...the species that built the Reapers did. And were most likely killed by them.

Second, humans pollute and blow up everything they find.

This is your reason for why humans should go extinct? Not like there are any other races in the galaxy or anything. Those crazy polluting hanar.

I've never done a thing warranting my own death. Neither have my four-year-old, three-year-old, and two-month old nephews. Or really anyone I know and love.

Third, every race will eventually advance to the level of the Reapers (The Reapers solved this problem by harvesting regularly)

That isn't synonymous with "every race will become genocidal".

Fourth, by incorperating our biological genetic material they may actually be our salvation by allowing us to live forever.

Right.

Fifth, The squid like reapers don't hate the jellyfish ones because they are different.

No, they just commit genocide on them, melt them down and remake them in new new Reaper image. Answer to everything.

You did read that I was making a spoof outtakes video for my ME2 movie and I needed a funny top ten list right? That I was asking for help thinking up funny ones.   Noones coming to your house and going to harm your children.

Hm. My bad. The list itself doesn't seem too joke-y and I had no idea what movie you were talking about. Sorry for taking you seriously.

Ah, sorry i was rude.  I thought you might be a phsyco.

Mass Effect 2 taught us how Reapers are built. Harbinger often says that his kind are "the harbinger of their perfection". So I would figure that Harbinger and the Reapers' long term goal is to perfect organic life. Sovereign comments that organic life is a genetic mutation and that your lives are measured in years and decades. So by harvesting organic life, the Reapers perfect that species and make it one of their own, enabling that species to be able to live forever.



That said, I think it's time for the streak to be broken. The Reapers will lose this time.

[Hyper_gateway]

As the history suggested Reapers existed so long that so far not a single organic civilization able to stop them. Given such experiences that Reapers have, they should well prepare for countermeasure resistance like Shepard.



The only way to beat Reaper, Shepard have to find a way to cripple Reaper's defense and with mass of fleet to support.

I'd leave out number 2, a little too Maryland "discovery channel" guy. Too soon, imo. Might work w/o the pollution reference. Besides the Reapers breed in a junkyard.



How about "because they've been waiting fooorrreeevvveeerrr!" You know, hanging out in darkspace for 50K years.

That's hilarious.  It's definately going in the list.  Thank you so much for not coming on the thread and saying "Reapers will never win, Shepard Rules!"  I've made a synthesized voice pretty close to sovreigns and I'm changing that whole Vermere con fab to a debate between them that Shepard concedes.

Oh and the movies are all on that ME2 playlist in my sig.  It's pretty fun to watch.  Although I'm getting a huge amount of requests to do it again but with a Renagade female Shepard where she and everyone die in the end.  I'm considering it.

If you feel like going a little blue, try this: “It’s not like you were doing anything productive with your genetic material anyway.”

oh, and Reapers will never win, Shepard rules!

Not really.  They don't kill everyone when they harvest or humanity would have been killed off with the protheans.  And it is not really killing, they preserve the species as a reaper, so in a way it is giving them immortality.

Humanity was barely developing language 50,000 years ago. We were still 'under-ripe'.

And they don't preserve species. They don't even really preserve their dna. They use DNA as raw materials, keeping only specific genes and otherwise modifying it radically. That is no more immorality than our bodies being reclaimed by the Earth as minerals.

[Schneidend]

#1 reason why they shouldn't win: They're operating from a position of some kind of horrifying but probably sound logic. Life has never been logical.

Ok.  I may have to start a new thread.  I should not have put the list first.  I asked for funny reasons the Reapers should win for a project I'm working on.  It won't let me edit the thread topic so I'm stuck.  I've gotten two good ideas and then a dozen versions of this.  It's my fault.  My wording could have/should have been better.  Now I'm going to use this thread as a socialogical experiment.  Let's count how many people don't read all the way to the bottom of a post before rushing to answer.   Rather than an annoyance this has become kinda interesting.  But again it's my fault.  I've got all I need for the list and the vid.  I'll keep bumping this to see how many people just hate those darn reapers.

It's possible we're reapers ourselves with ever particle in us thinking they're us.

[vkt62]

If this was reality, then we would end up as another number on their list of extinct species. But in the game? don't worry we will win.

They could be part of an intergalactic government keeping multiple galaxy's stable while giving young civilizations a chance to experience the universe without getting wiped out early? They are also trying to extend the number of years all the resources would last by a few more billion years?

I'm still hoping for an option to join the reapers and help them win.
Some people call me crazy for wanting an evil option in a video game...
You know cause its just pixels on the screen i'm crazy for wanting to destroy all life in a made up galaxy.

I want an option to sacrifice yourself to save the galaxy, to become the reaper god, or to have a reaper baby with Miranda.
Just sayin'.

[MrnDvlDg161]

Conclusion? Some Shepards believe in mass genocide and have death wishes...but of course these Shepards also decided to have at it with Morinth so they won't even see the Reaper war --- they'll be babbling in a nut-house from brain shock.

You listed a bunch of reason why humanity is "super terrible" and that makes it okay to wipe us out. How is that asking for "funny reasons"?

Sorry, maybe you meant something else, but it clearly was not communicated very will in your OP.

12th? They are our salvation through des-prefection.

[Godeskian]

I wonder if there isn't something 'exceptional' if you will, about this particular cycle. From what Sovereign tells us, or at least implies (IMO) it is the norm that a single race becomes dominant before the extinction cycle occurrs, but that hasn't happened this time around. There are at least four majorly dominant species (asari, human, turian and salarian) and dozens of minor ones about.

This isn't like the Prothean cycle where the Prothean empire spanned the stars.

[omgodzilla]

I will be severely disappointed if there isn't at least an option to have the Reapers win.

[Northern Sun]

I'd love to spend $180 in order to be forced to lose to a bunch of machines.
