I didn't buy a damn thing the weird-ass irritating Catalyst kid said. Pretty sure it's biased towards 'try controlling my Reapers lol let's see what happens' because for all Shepard knows the Catalyst is aware he'd never be able to control the Reapers and ultimately he'd just end up getting ****ed over while the Catalyst goes and continues to harvest everything.

That said, I don't plan to stick with Destroy. I plan on BioWare fixing the damn ending before I get there with my female shepard playthrough because I'll be damned if I'm settling for ANY of those now that I know what they are.

Anything else just felt plain wrong.  Ans Anderson wanted it (final Request).

Plus, and with pure meta-gaming...  Shepard can survive.  partially, at least...

EDIT:  Plus, the "Star Child" came across as an AI, and I wanted to destroy it.

I chose Control at first, because I was a paragon, thought it was odd TIM was too, but that's how it went. Played again because I thought I did something wrong, chose Synthesis out of confusion. Played again and chose Destroy, and despite all three copy/paste endings being completely nonsensical and out of place, it felt the most like Shep.

So Red is the "best" one.

[gooberfish311]

I chose destroy because that was the goal all along. The other two choices just had varying degrees of wrongness about them. Synthesis immediately brought Saren to might, and even aside from that I found it horrific. Control, while it didnt elicit the level of disgust that Synthesis did, was pushed so strongly by an indoctrinated agent (apparently a common thing in previous cycles) that it was automatically suspect.

I also had an almost instinctual distrust of everything the Starbrat said. He tried too hard sell the choices of TIM and Saren, both of whom were Indocrinated and thus doing what the Reapers wanted them to do, and really went for the emotional manipulation angle to dissuade me from picking Destroy.

Because red is such an awesome color to create a big bang.

But seriously...

Control never crossed my mind. It didn't fit after the whole thing with Illusive Man. It was really unshepard like. I guess if you are a full blown renegade and a mini TIM this choice will make sense.

Synthesis was a choice that did linger but I remembered that thing about Javik saying something about a race implanting AI into themselves not ending so well.

Destroy was a hard choice because of killing off all synthetics. But ultimately when has Shepard not possibly sacrificed. He could have possibly already destroyed all geth by shooting Legion in the back.

Thus in the end I choose what made the most sense for me.

Just to see what the ending looked like. Other than that, it is the most evil ending unless you're brainwashed enough to believe in IT.

[TheAwesomologist]

The two other options just seemed like I would be appeasing the enemy. I didn't trust the deus ex machina plot device, just like Neo didn't trust the Architect. My Paragon Shep would never again follow in the Illusive Man's footsteps. Nor would he just synthesize with machines. Tali said we don't adapt to the Reapers. Javik said to not leave your enemy any quarter. It seemed like a trap to me.

Besides none of it made any freakin' sense. Really? The struggle between organics and machines was the purpose of Mass Effect all along? That's there epic story ending? I kept trying to shoot the damned kid.

God this ending sucks.

I did not think it was the most evil option

[Nobrandminda]

 This sounds like a job for a poll:

Why did you choose the Destruction ending:

- According to the indoctrination theory, it's the only way to win.
- Shepard lives
- I REALLY wanted to destroy the Reapers at any cost
- No Good Reason.  I just picked one.
- Other

[Lokanaiya]

Both because that's what I had come so far for and because it seemed like that was the one starbrat liked the least.

[Godlysnack]

I chose synth ending for joker.. he needed edi to live.. also figured it'd help his brittle bones..

[CheeseEnchilada]

Starchild actively dislikes the Red option, and warns Shepard away from it with more of its ridiculous rhetoric. Red just so happens to be the only option available to destroy the Reapers once and for all. It just seemed to make the most sense.

Of course, with this ending you also have dead Reapers everywhere, which just begs the question of whether or not they can still indoctrinate. "Even a dead god can dream", after all, but I'm not sure if that applies with every Reaper destroyed. More speculation, I guess.

[Ruthac_Arus]

My Shepard didn't set out to negotiate with the Reapers, nor find a way to take away their twisted motive for doing what they do (Synthesis), nor control them (Control, obviously). He set out to end the threat they posed, permanently, so they couldn't interfere with the development of galactic society ever again. Thus, Destroy. He would have preferred to do it on his own terms, but since he mysteriously became submissive to an eons-old being spouting troll logic, it came down to RGB. He chose R.

[Joeybsmooth4]

Ruthless Calculus- I assumed that this would kill biotics with implants, the geth and EDI . (The quarians already died but I would ad them to the list ). But these people would die to insure the everyone else was safe. Control how says Shep can really control them , they could break away and kill everyone, the green ending was just wrong. Shep was there to stop the Reapers not play G-d.

[NoUserNameHere]

I figured the Starbrat was not to be trusted, even if it's not indoctrination, and killing this genocidal entity was a moral imperative in addition to what I came here to do.

Real pity about the Geth, genocided offscreen and all. They'll be remembered.

[j78]

I did not believe the space ghost And synthesis seemed like unrealistic Space magic .

Kid already lies about destroy killing shep, EDI and the Geth could have also been spared.

[MelancholyV]

Blue is my favorite color. c:

[mcsupersport]

Synthesis* is space magic, and thus was ruled out, because no way you can explain it any other way.

Control was the whole point of TIM and his idiocy so it was ruled out.
Destroy was the only real viable choice, and it is what we have been trying to do for 3 games, so Destroy without a backward glance.

*Anyone who can look at Synthesis and say it could occur by game lore in a flash of an energy wave with ingame lore is a sad sad gamer.

[UrgentArchengel]

I knew about the perfect ending before the game came out. From the spoiler boards, so that's why.

[leapingmonkeys]

Honestly, I didn't "choose" anything. When Shepard's auto-run to vent-boy ended and I was supposed to choose A, B or C I was confident that they were all a trap. None of them made sense. None of them actually resolved the whole created-creator antagonism that vent-boy said was the reason for the Reapers. Control made no sense at all - how can I control anything if I have been utterly destroyed? Synthesis just sounded like I was turning everyone into some sort of Reaper wanna-be. Destroy just seemed to be the Reaper solution, but applied to the Synthetics this time instead of the organics.

I actually did look around trying to figure out where the fourth option was - I figured there had to be a choice where Shepard shows that he has realized all those choices were a trap.

Eventually I couldn't find the a fourth choice, and since none of them made any sense I picked one at random - I don't even remember which one I tried first. I do remember that my response was "oh great, that was the wrong choice, don't know how I I was supposed to know what the correct choice was, but I'll go back and try again". Then the second choice again destroyed everything in pretty much an identical manner. At that point I was thinking "this is nonsensical - I just have to guess which one is correct?". So I tried the third ... and became very confused. Obviously I had missed something earlier on in the game because all three choices destroyed the universe in almost identical ways.

People have said they saw edi alive after picking the destroy ending.

[Lugaidster]

I played 2.99 games waiting to destroy the reapers. I'm not going to change my mind in the last 0.01 part of it just because some machine thinks it's not how I should go.

I guess I've been brainwashed enough then. It has some decently strong evidence to support it if you take the time to notice the details (plotholes, slowmotion, music, colors, etc.) after you've been hit by the beam.
 
Also I think Bioware has something awesome planned. I have enough faith in their writers to believe that this ending was carefully planned out rather than haphazardly thrown together. But hey, that's just my thought....I could very well be wrong.

[elegolas1]

I chose synthesis first out of numb confusion, and I figured that it would reinforce the harmony between synthetics and organics ie edi and joker, quarians and the geth.
Also the idea of ultimate evolution was appealing
After that I was too disgusted to try the other two endings for a while
But then I started thinking about Shepard, and I realised by not destroying the reapers Shepard had turned her back on her journey and allies.
Control was always out of the picture, totally a trap, and why should Shepard control the reapers, she'd only be corrupted

Indoctrination theory then convinced me destroy was the right choice
