Sorry, this guy and all the people that think these are things that make the ending "bad" are just plain below the level of thought required to comprehend the ending.
HOW can you point out every single thing that is inconsistent and plot holey about the ending in the same breath as pointing out the greatness of the entire rest of the game, and not stop and think..."hey...wait....made by the same people....weird....I don't think everyone on the dev team had a sudden anurism and lost all logical capacity for storytelling...perhaps...perhaps theres something else here, maybe I should read deeper into what's going on."
The thing is SO PATENTLY not reality, it has the EXACT flavor of EVERY OTHER dream sequence we have had, slow moving, gun of infinite ammo, things happening for no reason...and the dreams you have had before basically tell you 'child = fire; child + you = still fire; fire = bad;" so CHOOSE THE THING THE CHILD PORTRAYS AS THE WORST OPTION! Gah, its like this whole forum is suddenly bereft of the capacity for analytical thought.
It always amazes me how the hipster quasi-intellectuals' only argument in favor of Bioware's ending is that we unwashed peons are too stupid to understand the complexities of such a gripping and genius narrative.
Well, buddy, f*ck you, too.
So far, from reading your self-satisfied drivel, you take contention with the fact that people take offense to the ending despite the fact that we liked 90% of the game. You say that since Bioware wrote such a great game, logically the ending SHOULD be great too, therego we are all just imagining how awful the ending is. Such an argument holds so little logic that one has to find a molecular scale powerful enough to measure how little logic there is in it. Frankly, you're just espousing bullsh*t, bullsh*t so thick and voluminous that you need a bulldozer to push it out of your mouth whenever you spout it.
Woah, easy there "buddy" -- I think it's time for someone to have their milk and cookies and take a nap. This is not the place for hissy fits.
On a more serious note, anyone who is looking at the inconsistencies in the endgame sequence with any logic whatsoever, naturally come to the conclusion that something is amiss. Clearly. Taking the end sequence at face value results in thousands of people raging and sporting "Retake Mass Effect" tags everywhere they go because they feel they've been betrayed as a consumer. Sure. I can relate to that, and I appreciate that. But on the other hand, any company in its right state of mind would not end their most popular franchise in such a way that makes it almost impossible to further capitalize on it. Occam's razor surely could be applied here in stating that Bioware just got lazy, rewrote the ending as half-arsed as they could, and voila! Enter terrible ending to arguably the best franchise they've ever worked on. This is simply not the case.
If you sincerely believe that was the ending of the Mass Effect franchise, or Shepard's story.. I feel sorry for you. Far too much has been left on a cliffhanger to assume anything is concrete or set in stone.
Just be patient.
Retour en haut
I would have loved the game to have ended with Shepard bleeding out and the catalyst failing to fire... That would have been an infinitely better ending.
