"The combined decisions in Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 create over 1,000 variables to be imported into Mass Effect 3. The third element of decisions in Mass Effect is the scale of decisions."

I lol'd. Sounds like just some delusional fanboy if you ask me.

TL;DR version; I think Mass Effect is the best sci-fi because it's the most compelling out of all sci-fi's out there in the market.

Very depressing, what Mass Effect should have been. Why Bioware, why.

 That is indeed extremely depressing...it is so unbelievably sad how the ME series could have transcended every other medium to become what is arguably the most compelling and unique experience not only in video games, but in media as a whole...

...and to think that it was well on its way to that with Mass Effect 3....until we all took an ending to the knee.

And then this happened:

No, he's wrong. Or maybe he just didn't do the side quests and half his squad died in ME2.

Even with the crappy endings we got, the Reapers are not Old Gods, and if they were, it would mean Shepard, the human, ultimately beat them. Even if the relays are destroyed and all sentient life dies off because of it, in the next cycle the Reapers won't come back.

I actually disagreed with most of this article when I first read it. It's not about the insignificance of humanity or cosmicism or any of that stuff (though it's spot on about diversity). That is, until the ending, when in fact it IS about the insignificance of humanity and cosmicism, because nothing you did in the games matters at all.

How is that depressing? Because you didn't like the trilogy ending, somehow Mass Effect stopped being an amazing sci-fi franchise?
.
ME3 only made it better.

Oh man am I glad I never saw that before ME3 was released... it would have made the ending even more painful to watch!

I was just thinking about this article the other day, and how I was like, "YES. YES. YESSS!!!" while reading it a couple of months ago.

Now I read it, and I go, "NO. NO. NOOOOOOO!!!"

So...let me get this straight. This guy thinks ME's theme is that life is meaningless and we're all just dust in the wind. And you...wanted that to be the case?

Go read "At the Mountains of Madness," and all we be made clear.

Did you even read the article or did you just glance at the Lovecraft themes?

Lots of speculation from everyone.

Image IPB  so much this, so much for incomprehensible purposes.
