You have no proof of that flanny,
And anyway, Reapers have occuli and Destroyers, similar to Geth ships, so saying the Geth made it possible is irrelevent in terms of a conventional victory.


I was refering back to what he said about ME1s ending

Exactly, the whole reason we killed sovie was because when grasshopersaren died, sovie's shields disabled (who knows why), without it, sovie would probably have got the relay open and then everyone would have been ****ed anyway

How? The only reson we killed him wasbecausehew was stunned. If we did not kill him he would of escaped and trie again with more numbers.
The end of me1 was not conventional.


not sure what you mean are you actually saying if he wasn't weakened he wouldn't have been destroyed or that if he wasn't weakened he could have opened the mass relay to dark space?

The whole point of 'ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL' over Saren was because Sovereign needed someone to transfer the Citadel controls. It was an act of desparation. Sovereign would have eventually been destroyed if it stayed on the Citadel. Sovereign went down rather quickly once it lost its shields.

He could os still escaped and tried agien with more numbers. That still is an unconvetion victory. The fleet was being taken out.

Did we win just by shooting him.
No.
Is taking out Sarenhopper to kill a repaer listed in the Systems Alliance handbook.
No.
Unconventional.

Listen,

Ants, with ALL their might, with ALL their combined unity, against a couple of humans with flamethrowers.

Not even a close fight. Stop making this ****** poor comparison. Ants are strictly melee, and anything other than that, humans can wear protection against any venom, it wouldnt even hit the range anyway.

So no. It is possible in ME3 for the galatic force to defeat several reapers when wokring togteher.

ANTS, have NO Chance.

Come back when you are done with this crappy analogy. Unless you can come up with a plan, of how ants, can defeat humans defending on full force with all their technolgy. Hell, flamethrowers and protection is enough.

Our fleet can't beat the reapers fleets in any type of fight.
They have the Oculus, 
http://masseffect.wi...com/wiki/Oculus , they make in swarms.
They have more ships the take harder blows then ours and kill ours in a single blow.
The reapers can just destory our fleets by sending endless swarms of Oculus at them and that would be it.



To all of you who support the ideathat reapersand their oculus ar unstoppable, please explain m how the crucible make it t the citadel then ?

Accordng to you, we areoutnummbered, outteched, get one shotted and whatnot.

But somehow we manage to make a breakthrough through reaper lines and sop them from detroyin the crucible ?

No way. This is space. Not the middle age. ou ca't protect that evice by surrounding it with ships, it dosn't work. THere is no cover in space either.

Crucibl victory makes no sense if reapers are that strong

Because the reapers /starchild let the crucible in.
Know whatthe reapers what and you'll understand. No matter what Shepard does, this will be the last cycle the reapers have a chance of winning and the reapers know it.


no, you make no sense. The reaper try to destroy it and damage it if you have low ems. And hey could still win the nexxt cycle if they are tht powerful, just reap 2000 years earlier

ah i can concede that, still not sure if i'd call that unconventional but i can see where you're coming.

It would have been interesting to have seen if mighty Sovereign would have actually ran any

The reaper never damaged it at low ems. And no they can't win the next cycle. It was made clear in the refuse ending that they lost.  They lost because we left clear detailsabotu them and the crucible. This was the last cycle they could find a salution and the catalyst knew it. Your still not getting what the reapers want and it's not reaping.

Point being he would just come back with a stronger force to attack us after we were already weakened. But he underestamated what Shepard could do and tried for killing him and opening the citedel relay again.

please, the end of me3 is the zenoth of bad writing.
And yes with low ems, your crucible is too damaged to offe you te synthetic choic, or destroy can back fire.

If the reapers wnted the crucible to dock, why tke the citadel in th first place? or fight the allid fleet ? Why no make the crucible themself ? between cycle ?

You ar not gtting asic logic on this point.

Keep deluding yourself and ignoring facts. I'm sure you're utterly convinced the world is flat and nobody is ever going to be able to prove that to you.

This part I agree with . Sovereign's got no way to win this thing without trying that stunt. He could have probably run away, but from everything we've seen Reapers are willing to take losses in pursuit of overall Reaper goals.

People please, no need to obsess over Bioware's lack of knowledge of warfare. If they knew everything about war and every outcome to every situation. They would have done the smart thing of taking over EA long ago Salarian style :P

Jokes aside, no matter what the original plans/concepts for the reapers in Mass Effect 3 was, I don't think we were ever meant to stand a chance of winning conventionally. ME 1 and 2 was not only about preventing/preparing for the return of the Reapers. It was about Hope and having faith in that when the times comes, we will win. ME 3 however, is about holding on to that hope.

I think the reason why some people want the conventional win so badly is because that Shepard is forced to put his faith and hopes into the Crucible, and are repeatedly told, that this is the ONLY hope. I think that is what truly upsets people. That this is the only way, were as the other games have taught us that there is always another way. ME 3 breaks this illusion. (And I say illusion because that Bioware seems very clear on the fact that this cannot be won conventionally.)

That said, not the biggest fan of the endings, but the crucible is certainly not one of my reasons. Take out the catalyst complete and insert whatever of the endings that you prefer most (Didn't say like). And the endings is actually quite satisfying for me with the EC.

Btw. As for Space Magic, I'm pretty sure that's the same arguemnt people used in the Middle Ages for things they coulnd't explain. I'm no scientist, but I'm sure that a more reasonable explanation could be found for why a wave of light have different effects. Sound silly, but doen't mean impossible.

Don't worry I can deal with it fine. By asserting that conventional victory is impossible (it will always be debatable) you further assert the bad writing of ME3. So atleast we agree on one thing  Image IPB

The Reapers vastly outnumber us.

Also they can brainwash us. A simple "FTL around indoctinating planets with a bit of devastating hit-and-run tactics to cripple the galaxy included".

Vastly outnumber, far superior firepower and defenses, the ability to escape without being tracked and brainwashing capabilities = no conventional victory.

Conventional victory being impossible is not bad writing.
