While I do not agree at some points with IT fans for example, those people made a lot of videos and writing to explain why they feel the way they feel about endings. A person who made the vid in my signature did great job explaining why he thinks endings are bad, without IT. But Ididn't see anything like that from people who liked endings. Just "why u no understand they are great" or "I like they are grim"...
Weird how that happens right? It makes you wonder whether these people even really like the ending.
They maybe like the ending, but I suppose they don't care much about details, logic and rules of science fiction.
Those that are comfortable with the ending are so because they understand the detail. Logic and rules of science fiction are thrown out the window when someone's mind is being torn apart.
The detail is this....the Reapers use indoctrination to bend an organics will to their own. The Reapers, in particular Harbinger, have been trying unsuccessfully to indoctrinate Shepard. Who they realized is one of the most significant threats to their existance.
This is a story arc that needed to be addressed. How come Shepard has been able to fight indoctrination up to this point when so many other organics, even Saren, have succumbed to it? Had this not been addressed would have been a major plot hole in itself.
How Bioware dealt with this story arc is absolutely brilliant. Since you control the actions of Shepard your mind had to make a choice. You. Two choices that you can make have you accepting that the Reapers should still exist. One has you making the choice that the Reapers should be destroyed, which is what has been Shepards goal ever since he/she uncovered the Reaper threat.
The ending is a mind game. The ending is playing with the players mind. You don't sit passively by watching whether Shepard gets indoctrinated or not. YOU make that choice. The ending is astonishingly brilliant.
I watched 30 seconds of your video to conclude that the person that made the video doesn't understand the ending either. Those that hate the ending beleive that what is playing out is happening in reality. What is playing out is Shepards mind being torn apart by Harbinger. Logic and reason no longer applies. Have your dreams ever made sense when you woke up from them?
You have one right choice, and it is the most important decision of the series thus far. Your Shepard either takes a breath in the rubble of London or not. This ending clarification DLC will likely explain what happens next.
Immz you wanted me to enlighten? Well there you go.
I'm done.
I should go.
