No, you're listing games without choice as refrence.
This is about making you choose the bad end. Making you personally, with your own mind, figure out your ending fate, and none of them being good.
You can't evade FFXIII-2's or RDR's endings, but you also can't really choose HOW you meet those endings either.
Here, you do. The consequence of that is much deeper. Here, you pick which dark fate holds the most hope. The superior level of impact can easily be measured by the rampaging negativity here - people don't want to choose a bad end. They would rather it be out of their hands. As much as I would like to get a 'happy-ish ending' from Bioware like anyone else. I have to give Kudos to Bioware for that.
So the only true ending at the end of a crisis is a definitive bad one where everyone has to die? It's the most "realistic" is that it?
The possibilities are endless, it's just laziness that reduced all the endings to be so similar. If you prefer the ending, it's your choice, not something that should be shoved down all of our throats. Kudos to what?
I love how people assume companies have endless time and money to funnel into the game, and anything remotely similar they have to cry 'laziness!'
But putting asside the technical limitations: You've got your endings wrong. 'everyone has to die' is not the endings available to you. Yes, the worlds get seperated when the Crucible gets used, that does not mean everyone chokes and dies. It means the Galaxy will never be the same again.
Spin that pesimisticly if you choose, but 'the possibilities are endless' can be spoken for the far off future of the ME universe as well. But every choice in the ending comes with a sacrafice.
Dude it's obivous you're satisfied with the endings, that it has been catered for your demographic, but not for the rest of us. Instead you assume we're all young, wanting happy endings is wrong.
And instead of over-analysising everything I say, explain this, If I save Earth, stranded, if I don't save Earth stranded. What is the point of living if all technology is now dead, civilization dead, everything gone. It's the dark ages, food sparce, water sparce, what is there for the living?
In regards to sacrifice, ME2 gave you the option to not sacrifice anyone, but you could if you made a mistake or wanted to. It's optional. Mind you because it's a game.
