I don't really get the outside view of IT. We believe Bioware have made a fantastic ending worthy of Mass Effect, but people say we hate them. It's ignorant and pathetic
Its a reversal technique of criticism. Giving someone you disagree with the opposite attibutes that they actually have. Example:
Intellectually open minded = Close minded crazies
Logical debaters = Religious zealots
Admirers of high art = Haters of 'low art'
Etc.
You people do fall under the second category as you try to avoid using logic to connect things but believes.
Yes, 'you people'. All of us!
Look, the scientific method is all fine and dandy, but go ahead and try to use it to interpret literature or cinema. At some point you're going to have to take a look at symbology, foreshadowing, analogies, metaphors. Science says you can't take any of that into account, because you can't be sure of the artist's intentions without word of god.
I'm looking forward to you having something positive to contribute for a change.
Word of god in this case says both are valid which you also ignore. I also said BW made a mistake with the EC, which IT doesn't account for.
Also I contributed much more "positive" stuff then most people here so I see no need to justify my view with more "positive" stuff.
You have contributed a lot in the past. That doesn't change the fact that nowadays, whenever you come into the thread, you are being all negative towards almost everyone and cause the entire thread to fall into pointless argument.
And I don't 'ignore' what word of god says, I don't believe it. For good reasons. They've been completely unreliable so far, and if what I'm taking away from the game is correct, they have a good reason to lie to us.
They want us to go through the experience that Shepard is dead. "No more Shepard", says the PR. It's all just strategy to blow us away when they finally pull the curtain and reveal the return of Shepard in ME4.
If you don't believe that, I can understand it. I won't hold it against you at all.
I'm just saying, if you think you're helping by acting the way you do: you're not.
Yeah, or they just do what the fans want instead of their original intentions.
I suppose I could point you towards the massive amounts of foreshadowing and hints they included in the game (which will be obvious in hindsight, when we all know how this will play out). I made a thread about it, but you'll probably go 'confirmation bias'. Just say the word if you're interested.
Or it's mindscrew to think it ends this way, but in fact it's literal and you doomed EDI, the Geth, etc for nothing, which is one of the questions you should ask yourself at the end when making your choice. Ignoring BW saying both is valid while claiming BW saying IT is valid for the truth is kinda self-contradictory, wouldn't you agree?
If I were to fool people with two game-over endings, that's what I would do.
I still believe the Eden Prime datapads are a real clue towards this. If people knew these choices would play out in a negative way, nobody would pick them. They want to trick players. The whole point of it is simply to illustrate how deceptive the Reapers actually are.
Logic dictates that there's no way the Reaper AI is legit in only wanting to save organics. Sovereign said organics are chaos and the Reapers are order. He was full of contempt of us lowly organics. Not to mention Harbinger. It doesn't jive at all with the 'Reapers are only trying to save organics' story.
Like Javik says: "Only the foolish mourn the loss of innocence. It is inevitable. The galaxy has never rewarded the naive."
I don't believe trusting the Reaper AI will be rewarded. It is entirely inconsistent with what we learned in the games, namely that over millions of years, countless cycles of organics were brainwashed to the point of 'begging to be harvested'.
