The purpose of the Reapers is what disappointed me the most

 I heard it was their purpose to kill organics at the peak of their cycles before they created synthetics that would ultimately kill them, but having finally witnessed the ending myself, it just feels so out of context with the rest of the series. I know the original idea was the Reapers were looking for ways to stop Dark Energy from destroying the galaxy, which makes more sense for them to have such a larger scope of purpose than the shallow organics vs. synthetics.

It's just too simplestic, especially given how Sovereign told us that their purpose was beyond our comprehension. I really wish they kept to the idea of Dark Energy as it was hinted at in ME2, though maybe exanded more on why Reapers must destroy advance races and harvest them. I would've loved if it had something to do with biotic potential of species, get back to the whole Mass Effect idea introduced by the opening of ME1, tie it back to the game's title after all. Possibly the biotic/mass effect technologies help the Reapers contain the Dark Energy in the galaxy every 50,000 years as it's basically making it a crop cycle of harvesting materials/energy to protect the galaxy, while at the same time allowing the Reapers to increase their numbers to aid in the ever growing Dark Energy over the years. Something like that makes more sense in the grand scheme of things. Having the choice to destroy the Reapers, yet doom the galaxy in the long run (yet allowing everyone to enjoy their continued cycle until the galaxy is destroyed by Dark Energy), or let the cycle continue to keep the Reapers doing their "good work" in preserving the galaxy.

Idk, aside from the actual endings you get, what do you think about the actual purpose of the Reapers?
