Why do people like an ending that invalidated statements from the previous two games?

[Dire Wombat]

OP, your post is pretty passive-aggressive...

"I realized the ending isn't actually bad, it's just too smart for most people. But I can't tell you why because then people would disagree with me."

No. The ending was not intellectual. If you think so, you're thinking about it wrong. Anyways peace.

Why do none of these guys EVER explain the "intellectual gold-mine" they've found at the end of ME3?

[DantineTheGreat]

Yeeaaa. Point of this thread is...?

Because it's not there. I was writing better at age 11 than whoever made the ending to ME3

Sometimes, things don't make sense, not because you aren't smart enough to grasp them, but because they actually don't make any sense.

[Daerog]

Doesn't matter if it was intellectual (which it wasn't, it was just a bunch of cyberpunk thrown in at last minute in a space opera, trying to be hip and not making sense... synthesis? wtf? that just changes the world of medicine not politics). It wasn't satisfying and broke simple rules for a good narrative.

Anyway, glad you are satisfied, enjoy the game and have fun!

[KingKhan03]

The ending attempted to be intellectual but failed because someone didn't get their work proofread.

Precisely. I felt it was an attempt to creating a profound ending but the contrived, cold and calculated nature of it (due to flawed writing and poor execution) made it into a mess. That's all there is to it.

The whole series was written by a team of talented writers, the ending must have been written by one or two persons who thought they could do without the team in that last 5-10 minutes.

SimKoning, I enjoyed reading your theories, especially the one about the keepers beginning the cycle. I'm sure what you've come up with now is equally as brilliant.

Edit: I'm going to give you credit for using the "intellectual" buzz word. The hivemind is really eating it up.

There's no need to say someone is wrong because they feel they have a different answer than you. While I will agree that the ending was bad (even if there is more to the endings it shouldn't take weeks to figure it out) I won't flat out say someone is wrong for disagreeing, they simply don't share my opinion.

I'm fine with him liking it, I'm just not fine with him saying that it was because it was intellectual. It wasn't. It was literary garbage. 

The OP never said the ending was intellectual, he said he had to be intellectually honest with himself.

I would LOVE to see what intellectual "conclusions" you've arrived at. Please do make a video.

And share it here as well. I would love to be enlightened, because as a long time Mass Effect fan, the ending drop kicked me right in the nads. The plotholes were immediately apparent even to me.

[MedhiaNox]

An intellectual man who cannot explain his knowledge to a child - does not have a grasp of his own intelligence.

If there is any intellectualism to be had at the ending of Mass Effect 3 - it's translation by its creators clearly escaped their ability to tell it.

This is the only way that such a phenomenal story could have ended like this.  I can't see any other explanation.

I liked the ending precisely because it is a puzzle. I'd love to hear your theories on this as well.

[sistersafetypin]

Well, I'm glad you found peace in the embrace of the Goddess. I'm close to finding peace as well.

By giving up on Bioware completely. With no other company would I have lasted this long, before simply saying "To Hell With it!"

But I'm remarkably close to just being... Done. I don't respect this company anymore, and I don't think they respect us.

I don't know, it's just insane to think how excited... How in love, with this serious I was less then a month ago though

^ This

^Also this.



The ending was original and intellectual when Deus Ex used it over a decade ago. In ME3 it's slopped together and displaced. Sorry to see you go, but glad you found some closure.

I generally don't like my endings to be puzzles.

I like my endings to end the story.  You might call it a conclusion.  Which is nearly the opposite of what a puzzle offers.

[2484Stryker]

Hmm, I don't have a problem with you enjoying the ending. I do, however, mind that you imply that the rest of us have yet to "figure it out" because it's intellectual, AND THEN refuse to post exactly what was so intellectual about it.

How about PM'ing me your thought process on the ending?
