This. I smashed the caring cup over my little brother's head when he went on about the IT in the way you have mentioned, now I no longer have a caring cup, I just have a instrument for shutting people who say "lol, he too dum to undrstan why it must be the IT.".

If you want to believe that there is a plan all along, feel free to, if you want to tell someone else how they is stupid to understand why that said THEORY could be true, then I will feel free to break yet another newly made caring cup.

I also hate how they link absolutely everything to it, to the point where I think when they listen to something, whenever they hear the words Reaper, indoctrination or theory, they begin jumping up and down in their chairs yelling "IT! IT! IT!" before they read the context of the use of the word. It's fine saying a few points may make the case, but they really make themselves look like a bunch of anal fools when they send links of things that occurred throughout the entire franchise and then use it as evidence, when it clearly was never intended to be, or probably ever will be.

Like Dark Energy turned out to be at all important, right? Let's face facts, there's not a lot of continuity between 2 & 3 in general beyond "Those guys we spent the whole series talking about? They're here. Not that you'll ever see them because they're just too huge and awesome to be included." I mean, we're firing guns that launch projectiles at the speed of light. Surely they could have applied that tech to hurling boulders or something that would smash Reaper armor. Instead of the exercise in frustration that was aiming a targeting laser while running back and forth.

Honestly, at this point I think I'll be outraged if it turned out the IT was the plan all along. No, trying to spring it on us does not make up for torturing consumers for months with hardly a detail about the intentions of the EC. It would've been acceptable if they'd had the proper ending ready to go and put it up like 2-4 weeks after launch. At this point I think most of us are just sick of the mess and want it fixed.

What bothers me is that the hold the liners (us) and the IT guys are on the same side. We know the ending cannot be that bad - yet this 'artistic integrity' is all bioware throws back.

Both sides know that the EC is nothing but bioware saying "Sigh, ok, we will 'splain it tooz jooo..."

Its a gimmick, and we know it will suck. Only a bufoon can write and roll out with an ending that bad. Its not 'high minded' or 'heavy duty'. It just plain old sucks. "I made synthetics to kill you because if I didn't..... synthetics would kill all of you." Thats how cosmically stupid this whole ending is. its not high minded. Its idiotic. I don't need it explained. In fact, I'm not the one who needs any of it explained to me - its the people who made this dogcrap ending.

Umm, nope, that's not a definite us. HTLers = people of the holdtheline website, and while many people of this thread are also HTLers, not all of them are 
Just to nit pick, because that's also encouraged in the holy book of The Code of the Internet.

I get you - there are many shades here.  In the end, it will all be for naught - in my humble opinion.

I have managed to reach some kind of no-expectations-zen for the EC. I'm indifferent. No motivation to play any ME title, MP aside, so I have been Skyriming and installing other games, like STALKER and Borderlands. Contemplating on getting DayZ mod. 

...I think I may have stopped caring.

I know the feeling dear.  LIME DILLIGAF

Still, I Skyrim it up, and maybe will get Diablo 3.  MP is a lot more fun though.  Maybe we can 2 person silvers and golds sometime for fun.

*comes back from playing EQ with his brother* pretty fun playing with my bro lol if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be back to playing EQ in the first place, anyway I haven't had the desire to even play ME3 MP at this point like I use to let alone anything ME related lately, I wont even be playing during the operation thing, I think if EC is really bad I won't have any reasons to play ME again ever unfortunately

Yeah, the reality(Bioware screw up the ending) is too much for some people to handle, it's better to believe everything is part of a big plan.

It's fooling yourself in my opinion but i can understand why people do this kind of rationalization...

Doesn't make the "teehee, u 2 dum to get it, u mad" attitude of theirs any less annoying. Sure, there are number of polite IT believers, in this thread too, but mostly that's what happens when you question the hardcore believers. Just like talking to religious nuts all over again. <_<

Put enough nuts in one place and you can make them into a passable butter.

I don't think I like peanut butter. Or any spreads that are not margarine. I even dislike Nutella.
Is that a sign there's something wrong with me? First stopping caring, then disliking hazelnut chocolate spread.

Nope. Can't say I'm particularly impressed by it either.

It could be a symbolic representation of Shep's fragmented mind, in state where even the most familiar items become confusing. 
Or as the MW player in me says: 'any damned gun available and nearest to you.'
I'll let people speculate though, because you know, space magic ice-cream.

Anyone else not returning to play ME3 until they fix this lame excuse for an ending?

Right now its Witcher 2, Halo Reach, Diablo 3, Resident Evil ORC keeping ME3s sour taste out of my mouth.

How is everyone else killing time?

How do you even have time for all that?

I'm still trapsing around Skyrim. Diablo III CE is still sitting on my shelf patiently waiting to be played. I figure I'll install it on the weekend and forget about it until the first patch comes out or I get invited to a LAN party.

Don't you die on us, Atrocity.

We'd hate to have to sue BioWare and the rEApers for wrongful death, caused by their negligence..

Nah. Nutella is pure evil.

What's wrong with straight hazelnut butter. Damn companies have to shove chocolate into everything?

That'd be a fun accusation to prove. That EA was indeed responsible for the negligence as opposed to, well, me

It would be pretty easy to prove in a civil court that they are responsable for inflicting emotional distress. They have plenty of case studies on YouTube.

Anything on a slice of bread other than margarine or butter, normal butter mind you, is evil in my books. 
I'm really conservative with my food.

Still it could be argued that I was a train wreck already before ME3. Well and truthfully argued too

So what do you do with the Zombies after they pass their best by date? If not butter, then compost?

But you have proven to be a totally delightful train wreck so far.

Everyone should go a little crazy sometime in their life. It tends to improve their personality.
