Mass Effect 2, imo, had the best climax ever in a video game. How can Mass Effect 3 possibly better it?

First of all, we can probably all agree that the climax was when Harbinger said, coldly and in a rejective manner...."You have failed. We will find another way. **curled up arms in a very precise and neat manner** Releasing control."

The Collector then turns and watches his or her demise consume him. And, of course, the Normandy made a narrow escape from the explosion.


The music was fantastic and emotional...spectacular...and so were the underlying elements to what happened.

The Reapers threw away the Collectors without hesitation after it was determined they failed. Now, maybe the Reapers pushed all the blame on the Collectors and couldn't take credit for their shortcomings....Harbinger supposedly directly intervened, albeit, and I'm sure this is how it was in their eyes...through a weak or 'redundant' form.

Another great part of the climax was the Collector's reaction after Harbinger released control. The ruined Prothean looked relieved and exhausted, almost embracing not only its death, but finally the true and final extinction of the remnants of the Prothean species.

Was Saren's way the right way? No.

Have pity for the Collectors. It could be us next.

The climax was spectacular, but how is BioWare going to top it in ME3?? It's going to take a lot to top it. Obviously, the story is ending, but hopefully BioWare can capture the little aspects and subtle subplots in THE climax of the series.

How can we top that?
Easy. Defeat the Reapers.

Edit: Okay, okay.

Defeat the Reapers in an awesome finale that's both space battle with all the races in the galaxy and ground battle with the characters you know and love, regardless of whom those characters are.

Easy. Have a climax that isn't "REALLY, a human Reaper made of Pureé O' Humans? THAT'S your final boss?"

I thought it was rather dull.

You can make any ending sound stupid when you say it in a sarcastic manner and exaggerate the elements.

It'll be topped somehow. It's not impossible to do. I felt bad for Harbinger using him like that (the lowered head in shame hits me hard. Poor fella!), but he didn't do his job. Besides, bad guys generally hate their minions because they fk up! Thus, the adage rings true: "If you want something done right, do it your damn self!"

So killing collecters is more intresting then destroying the reapers.... I don't see it.

[Han Shot First]

Bioware has been 2/2 for with their endings so far, so I'm not worried about the third. Did you play Mass Effect 1 or are you a PS3 player that came late to the series?

If so, check this out. The ME1 ending is seriously epic:

Fast forward to about 3:00

It's even easier when it's actually stupid.

Based on opinion! How is killing Terminator-Saren any more or less ridiculous?

me2 climax was only 1/10 of what me1 climax was. both are good though

a battle leading up to a huge space battle should be pretty climatic.

OP played on Xbox, check his account.

And i think OP is over exagerating, ME2 wasn't the best ending in a videogame ever, i thought both Mass Effect 1 and Dragon Age Origins beat it. It was really good, but it can be beat.

It wasn't great but it at least looked original and wasn't powered by human smoothies.

[VolusvsReaper]

I love mass effect 2 but I wouldn't go as far as to say best climax ever in a video game..Metal Gear Solid 4 is hard to top...even Origins was pretty damn good.

Well, you think spider-Lucifer is marginally more acceptable than human smoothies. I think the whole thing is a silly conversation.

[Boiny Bunny]

IMO the climax in ME2 was nothing special at all. Love the 'Suicide Mission' track that plays, but that's about it.

I imagine ME3 will end with Shepard leading the various races he/she has recruited to reclaim Earth and defeat the Reapers. Depending on your choices, your fleet will be destroyed utterly straight away, or do enough damage to let you land aboard the (primary?) Reaper, where you will fight to the 'control' room or something similar.

I do too, because he didn't have glowy WEAK SPOTS and didn't look like a carbon copy of that boss from some 90's sidescroller whose name escapes me at the moment.

While the actual Microwaved Reaper Baby wasn't all that great, the Suicide Mission, taken as a whole, was f--king amazing, and definitely in my top three endings ever.

What I'm curious to know is how the hell they think they're going to top the music. Jack Wall made miracles with that soundtrack, and especially with the music for the end game.

I *hated* fighting collectors. By far my least favorite thing to fight in the ME universe...Not sure why, but they bored me. I loved the game, don't get me wrong, I just didn't find them to be interesting enemies.

ME3 can easily outdo ME2...all ME2 did was set up what is to be an epic game throughout: in ME3, we'll (potentially) defeat the Reapers. Or maybe we'll fail and the galaxy will be purged Either way, the ending in ME3 will be vastly more epic.

Killing a Reaper fetus is way less exciting than destroying every Reaper ever, you know?

[sbvera13]

Agreed, ME2 was most definately not a very climactic ending. The game gives you a stale, meandering paced story of 12ish character vignettes only loosely connected to each other, then throws you into 20 minutes of BLAMMO! and expects it to be epic even though there was no build-up. First time I did it I felt like... WTF? Where did that come from? Who wrote this stuff?

Terminator-Saren on the other hand fit the plot and fit the villain. The bad guy was really Sovereign all along, after all. Fighting the twisted, stolen core of the once-proud Spectre parallels how Sovereign stole his mind in the first place, and made a great conclusion.

[atheelogos]

Hmmm well I think the climax in ME1 was better than 2. And seeing as we are finally fighting the Reapers instead of another proxy war it seems easy to top ME2 seeing as we're fighting giant star ships instead of bug people.

[Praetor Knight]

The cake is a lie



And I'm sure ME3 will be epic.
