What im saying is IT is a compensation for a poorly constructed final sequence that allows players to erase the whole ending. In no way can it be true because if it were the game would make a legit attempt to make everyone avoid destroy. Instead it selects only a handful of the people who will play the game and give them a reason not to destroy.
Only a handful? Really? I think the majority of players liked EDI, the Geth, or both. I think the majority of players, even if they didn't particularly like the Geth, still had qualms about Genociding them. Nearly everything I've read about the final choice was "I couldn't pick destroy because of the Geth" or "I had the think real hard about destroy when he mentioned the Geth". " I knew I didn't like synthesis, but I settled on Control because I didn't want to genocide the Geth".
Your statement assumes most people are ambivalent about the Geth or about Genocide. That's a ridiculous assumption.
Honestly I think he might be trolling. Not certain, but...:S
Agreed. Now, ME is all about playing how we would, because we are Shepard, especially morally. If someone really played through saying F-you to all the other races and hating the geth, like, FULL Renegade, and they weren't playing to see what it was like, but because that's what they really thought... I'd be very worried.
Besides, the obvious choice for that playstyle, IT or not, is control.
Yeah, I really think that renegade is a worrying playstyle, apart from a few choices or interupts. I mean, anyone playing renegade is PLAYING renegade, if you know what I mean? They aren't invested, they just like being an in game ****. Not conducive to an emotional attachment.
Exactly, I mean, I do most Renegade interrupts, and usually Renegade with politicians, criminals, and similar, but full Renegade is either what you said, not emotionally invested and likes pretending to be a **** because they can, or has... issues.
That is a terible attitude to have. Just because noone is a big enough douche to play legit renegade doesnt mean the creator should assume renegades mean nothing. The game should be made so that if i play renedage the game is true renegade. You cant ignore that IT doesnt work with a ruthless geth hating shep. Thats my whole argument. IT only works on geth loving shep and therefore isnt real because if it were the starchild would adjust to prey on the ruthless shep.
What I mean is that gameplay attitudes and real world attitudes don't sync up in a lot of the renegade choices. Being cacually racist? that'd be renegade, and people only make those choices for "fun", not because it's what they believe (not saying this about all renegade choices, I was renegade with regards to genophage, but a lot of them are). The indcotrination process is for the player, not shepard, and I bet nearly 100% of players who TRUST the starchild could identify the "good" and "bad" choice. Now, anyone conciously choosing the "bad" choice, knowing they had two other alternatives that were clearly more "good" in every way, is either NOT taking the game seriously, or...well, they're not taking it seriously. Choosing destroy if you believe starkid is telling the truth is the same as choosing a needless genocide AND suicide at the same time. The developers count on the PLAYER to recognise this, and therefore go either blue or green. That is why the option never changes
- besides, if the option changed IT would be waaaaay too obvious.
