i had to close the video after a while, listening to stephen johnson's reasons of why he "liked" the ending(s) was getting my already bottled emotions start to boil. better to close it and cool off, might have needed another laptop otherwise.


What did he say? I couldn't get past the first two minutes :unsure:


the gist of it is that he loved the ending as he felt it wrapped up everything from me1 and 2 nicely as well the main theme of "organics vs synthetics" and the "created rebelling against the creator".

i sat there thinking....did we play the same trilogy?



ps:just one more day....just one more day...

Because you are a sith and people tend not to give them any internets since they just take internets anyhow?

How the hell ending wrapped anything up? From those mentioned perspectives it falls flatter on its' face than ever. Created rebelling against the creator? Umm, no one did. It turns out even the geth didn't. I suppose the first stage of EDI, the rogue VI kind of did, but it was more a case of confusion than anything else.

Organics vs synthetics? Seem to be getting along just fine, judgind by the peace I made between geth and quarian. And EDI seems to be happy among organics.

So, umm *insert yo dawg picture here*

GAH!! Good thing I stopped too, my blood would've been boiling. Those "main themes" were completely turned on theirs heads when we united the Geth and the Quarians. Hell, no matter the outcome of Rannoch, I'm not sure those themes are relavent anyway. If you side with the Geth and kill the Quarians, don't the Geth become loyal to you? And if you destroy the Geth, well, it doesn't matter much then.

edit: oh yeah, that's right, the Geth never really rebelled against their creators anyway.

And what about EDI? She learned to love, for God's sake.

/end rant

One more day =]

Actually the rogue VI/AI was only trying to defend itself from being shut down

She does a pretty good job defending our point.  I facepalm at a few moments but hey, she's helping :)

Again, sorry if its been posted already.  Its just nice to know that not everyone hates us :)


That was a great video, at least someone has the exact same thoughts as the fans have.

I agree. I kept thinking "were we playing the same game? Is this man brain damaged? Am I brain damaged?" Too many steps into Bizarro World for me.

 P.S.

(be warned it is 39 min long but its sooooo damned interesting. it almost feels like a vid one of my english professor would show in class (in a good way))

P.P.S

it talks about how they broke genre, character focus, central conflict and the Narrative Coherence of the game; all in the last few moments of the game

I'm beginning to wonder if Organics vs. Synthetics was ever really a "main theme". It almost seems to be more of a question about what it means to be alive, and who has a right to live. The Geth did not rebel, they wanted to live. EDI did not fight us, she was one of us.

The last message the rogue VI trasmits in binary is "HELP" not "I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU ALL". I mean, there are the Reapers, but their killing organics ultimately wasn't about Organics vs. Synthetics, they were trying to "save us".

Don't worry about spelling. I'm writing from mobile. Sometimes I don't even know how it comes out. With regards to charity closure that was LOW even for penny arcade that gave us lots of hearts and. Minds everywhere. But they just closed it with bulll**** excuses.
Find it abhorrent.

for me the main theme was stopping a cycle of destruction by an insurmountable force and defeat it despite the odds. with our choices saying how well/badly we stopped it with a full spectrum of bright/white, neutral/bittersweet/gray, and dark/black/sad set of outcomes.

Go people WATCH that video and spread the word that it is out! It still kind of a subjective view on the things but at last one that goes to a bit deeper than many others...


Oh my god, he's playing Aerie's romance theme over the last minutes.
:crying: *sniff* excuse me for a moment. . .

They could still be in the writing phase for all we know... Doesn't mean that they're not going to do anything, cause they most certainaly had some SP DLC planned before this whole thing came up.

Yea... pre ending DLC like Omega... and people will buy it, no matter what.

The whole retake affort was a nice idea... but the sad thruth is, in this day and age, companies like EA have no need for a loyal fanbase anymore. They have the brainless masses that will simply buy anything... and they know it and calculate with it... and they ALWAYS get their moneys worth.

EDIT: In the future, I am more inclined to support indie companies like Almost Human (Legend of Grimlock)... atleast to them we are still humans with a voice, not just money cows.
