Synthesis was my choice but to be honest with you it felt at that moment like whatever I picked was entirely random. I didn't really know the implications of the choice I was being asked to make and none of what was happening felt right. It felt as though there had to be something more beyond this that I wasn't getting. Ultimately the ending played out, with all the plot holes that made no sense to me, and it was suggested I continue playing with more DLC.

I sat for a long time and contemplated what had just happened. Then I decided to look at the other endings on YouTube to see if it could provide me more context as to how this ending fitted in. After viewing them I felt cheated. In truth the endings were so close as to be identical, seemed rushed and really left behind a feeling that the storytelling had gone out of the window for the last mission....

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

Wow, this was exactly my experience with the endings when I finished.

Welcome to the fleet Hazelrah.  Thanks for sharing your experience (and your advice).

What's the difference anyways? Between regular RPG and story mode, I mean. Just the difficulty settings?

As far as I know, the combat is set to casuel. So in the most cases you are not going to die.

I hate dying mainly because I hate waiting for it to load again. It's like 5 seconds but after dying so many times, it takes up so much time.

I was thinking more Aztec myself...but that would involve human sacrifice and I haven't cleaned the dining room table from last week.

*Edit*

Errm, no human sacrifices were involved. Honest 

Just like we don't have a warehouse full of hostages right? 

Hostages...ahh yes, we have dismissed that claim

My best friend just started the final mission on Earth. On boy. He asked me does it matter if I scan all the planets. I just said "no". lol. Little does he know, that Marauder Shields will be trying to protect him.

Oh god, that's like watching a trainwreck about to happen.

I have already experienced the train wreck once. Not pleasant.

I refuse to let this game spoil my entire game enjoyment paradigm. I have very little else in my life right now except games. With such a great series in my possession, I will not let the deformed brainchild of a late night scribblethon ruin what I have.

As was advertised at the very beginning of the series "Many decisions lie ahead, none of them easy." Well, we made those difficult decisions. If they had said "And in the end it won't really matter" then somehow I don't think this series would have sold nearly as well. If this was the plan from the word go, then the reason they never hinted at it was because they knew that it wouldn't sell. Instead we got hooked on the ideal of hope that spanned the first two series, and then when we would pay through the nose to get the ending we all thought was coming, they dropped down and gave us a punch that we will never forget.

What we have been given is a blow delivered below the belt. It is c.ock of the poppyest variety. If this is what was intended from the outset then not only have BioWare failed us, they have failed themselves. And if it was a last minute decision instead during the final installment of the trilogy then the result is still exactly the same. Whether you see it as betraying the fans, or selling out the series, this was cheap. It looks cheap, it feels cheap and it plays cheap. If it were a West End Musical it wouldn't last a week.

So I am retaking Mass Effect. I am retaking my wasted hours and putting them back to good use. Everything I stood for and fought for with my Shepards has had meaning. Every choice has had an effect. Every action has had a purpose. I am taking this series out of their hands and putting it back into my own, where it will be treated with the reverence it deserves. I defy BioWare, and I deny that abortion of an ending that they have force-fed us like geese.

Mass Effect is mine. Mass Effect is yours. It is ours, but it is no longer theirs. It ceased to belong to them when we fell in love with it and made it our own in our minds. That is the Mass Effect that they can never take away from you. Your journey with your team mates is real, and it mattered. You saved the galaxy from countless threats and don't let them fool you otherwise. Everything you did had a result, it helped shape you as you shaped the story we all lived together, but on our own.

Mass Effect does not stop here, and it will never stop here. I will not let them take it from me. I and my Shepard stand side by side. There is always another way and nothing that they can say can make us believe otherwise. I am going back to the source, and I am going to take back the joy which kept me going for the past four years. If I cannot do this then I will have let them ruin it for me, I will have given up and I will have abandoned my Shepard just as badly as they have.

This is why I am here. This is why I hold the line. And I'm damned if I'm moving until I've got some answers.

I salute you, sir. You've spoken from my heart. Hold the line!

It gave me the idea to start a poll about the average age of ME players.
http://social.biowar...01/polls/30143/

Great idea! Voted!  Looks like I am on the old side of the declining bell curve! Lol

So...I have a question to the person who made the poll: what if I'm between the age groups? Like, you put 25 - 30 and 30- 35, 30 is there twice...do I get to pick?

Yes, sharing your pain is good for the healing process. That's what they told me...then I got told 'sharing my pain' shouldn't be done with a 2x4 by the judge.

A very good read. Hold the line! <3

What’s worse is that the teammates available are boring. Garrus is loyal but dull, Tali is smart but too inexperienced and immature to be interesting, Liara too busy researching to share anything meaningful, James is just an annoying brute, and Ashley just constantly whines and complains. If Kaiden is anything like the first game, then forget it. And to hell with anyone who demands I pay $10 for a damn character that’s already on the disc?

what he said, there weren't even loyalty missions in this game. and i hate ashley, why would you have someone on your boat who constantly questions your decisions at gunpoint.

Welcome to the fleet Hazelrah.  Thanks for sharing your experience (and your advice).

That is one of the things that gets me the most. The entire series is about unity rather than uniformity. The idea that your friends are different and is in our best interest to look past their shortcomings and accept them for who they are. I dont need garrus being the same as me, he is my brother and I got his back regardless. Wrex might be a hotheaded fool sometimes, but I trust him to make the right decisions for his race.

The idea that we gathered the species of the entire galaxy is what defined Sheperd... as the sheperd. A herald of good news, and alliances regardless of background; whether it was ethnicity, ideaology or race. We allied the Turians and Krogan, the Quarians and the geth to start with.
One of these points can be proven when in ME2 you check the SR-1 wreckage and find. Pressly's journal. That is what defined Sheperd, just like Hackket told him. Nobody believed in him or his crew. But he pushed on regardless of everyone, even some of the human crew dissaprooving asking "aliens" for help.
It was that bond between allies bringing people together and accepting them while moving onward that was part of the backbone of the series up until the last 20 minutes of Mass Effect 3.

For me Synthesis is one of the biggest middle fingers in the game industry regarding endings. It implies that nobody can be at peace, it has to be some forced singularity mind and race from Deus Ex machina endings, where you can't have peace unless you force uniformity on everyone else. Rather than achieving it through hard work, understanding, and a little gun power from time to time.

I personally chose the destroy synthethics... because the reapers aren't synthethics they are spaient constructs... so if I destroy the reapers, that has nothing to do with the Geth... nor EDI. The Geth aren't reaper based, and EDI was only using reaper tech for her cyberwarfare suite.

I'm yet to find a valid argument against us... All the posts/reports against us just say that we are over entitled spoiled kids. None of them point out any flaws in our reasoning or anything. So, that being the case, I have to ask....Why all the hostility? We (there are always a few rotten eggs) don't abuse or fight people with other opinions or attack BW...so why is it that so many feel the need to abuse us?

Hate to spoil but according to game data, the average gamer age is 35. Leaves room for old asses like me.

It says age xx TO xx. so 30 is age 30 to 35. I know it's not perfect but it's way better than red, blue or green:lol:
