I'd rather have a good plotline written by someone who takes himself too seriously, than a ridiculous plotline written by someone who doesn't take himself too seriously.sH0tgUn jUliA wrote...The whole story was ridiculous. The reaper plotline was ridiculous. So how do you get out of a ridiculous plot line and end it? Actually I can see why Mac wanted out of this. I wouldn't want to write about the stupid reapers. He thought he had to do an Arnold Schwarzenegger ending to get out of it, and didn't want to, so he went Deus Ex. Hey Mac, next time just give in and go with the flow and get it over with. Be videogamey. Have fun. Laugh. Be a kid again.
I mean that what IMO makes ME3 a bad game is not the lack of lighthearted moments, but the lack of cohesion and the low narrative quality. Of course funny and cheerful moments are welcome since:
... but it's the weakness of the plot and its unlikelihood my main issue.SpamBot2000 wrote...
Hmmm... Well, I actually kinda crave some earnestness in my entertainment, somber piano and all. So I can't really agree here. However, I certainly think the trend for grimming everything up to tha max has gone way past saturation point. If you have lived a bit, you certainly don't need your video games giving you dreary lectures about the supposed futility of all endeavor. I don't see why every game should be targeted to an audience desperately straining to rebel against the Disney Channel.

You do realize at a certain point in ones life one does start to appreciate the manic side of Mozart. When I was younger in my 20s and 30s I was heavily into Mahler. Now in my late 50s I'm into Mozart.

Here is my "Not taking itself seriously" Square Enix version of Mass Effect 3.
After slaughtering 15 actual reapers (all of which look like different anime creatures loosly based on figures from Japanese mythology) Shepard finally makes it to the Citadel for one last Epic Showdown.
Whiney Kid: Oh Shepard I'm tired. Can we take a breather!
Shepard: Hell no! [Shepard pulls out a gun and at the Whiney Kid]. I'm going to do something I should have done when I found you on Earth!
Liara: Stop this! What happened to you? What happened to your humanity?
Shepard: You didn't give a damn when I destroyed the Rachni.
Liara: But they were all indoctrinated.
Shepard: You didn't give a damn when I exterminated the Big Stupid Jellyfish.
Liara: But the Hanar were also indoctrinated.
Shepard: What about the Krogan, Quarians and the Geth?
Liara: You did what you had to do to save the day!
Shepard: This whiney brat is slowing us down! He must die!
Whiney Kid: Nooooooooo! Please Shepard! Don't kill me! [overly sentimental music plays. The Whiney somehow manages to melt Shepard's genocidal heart.]
Shepard: You know what? Now that we've got that out of the way, we've got Harbinger to kill.
[Harbinger appears as a large angelic Godlike being with a blinding white aura.]
Harbinger: I am your doom! Before me all shall perish!
Whiney Kid: Not a chance! Shepy, Liara and I are going to kick your ass!
Harbinger: I am the ultimate summoner! Before me, all biotics and tech powers are weak. You shall know true power. I summon Balthusur!
Shepard: You really think you stand a chance! I've exterminated just about every species in the galaxy. I'm better at genocide than you! Bring it on!
[really tense music electronic music ensues. The electronic music gradually picks up pace and soon the Tokyo Philharmonic Orcestra joins in. An electric guitarist and a drummer lead what is going to be an epic boss battle theme.]
Shepard, Liara and Whiney Kid fight the tentacle beast for what takes four hours. This boss fight is broken down into twelve check points each with an auto save.
Harbinger: Releasing control! Shepard. Now that you have defeated Balthasar the great omen of control, you must face Odin, the great omen of destruction!
Shepard: Really now? How many more of your minions must we fight! Stop being a coward Harbinger and fight us!
Harbinger: But there are two omens left!
[Javik enters from nowhere]
Javik: Let me handle this! Harbinger! You destroyed my people! Out of vengence, I have come to end the Reapers for once and for all! I reject your stupid omens! It is time to take you down.
Harbinger: Well, I might as well bring the Omen of Destruction and the Omen of Synthesis with me as I destroy all four of you!
[Javik, Shepard and Liara fight Harbinger, Odin and some green Slug with some weird Japanese name that translates as Synthesis. Whiney Kid just watches and shouts "Go Shepard! Go Liara! Go Javik!" They eventually beat Harbinger and both of the remaining Omens in roughly 12 hours. Well it feels like 12 hours, especially with the game's really poor take on Middle Eastern tune, where the female vocalist throws arabic words at you. At one point you're worried the invisible arab vocalist will throw the entire Arab dictionary at you. You're botherd by the fact that the Arab vocalist isn't actually singing in Arabic and is actually some random singer from Britain that was plucked from a very lame reality game show].
Shepard: Finally! We beat the Reapers!
Liara: Well done Shepard! We did it!
Whiney Kid: Not so fast! I created the Reapers! I needed you to destroy Harbinger! He took control of my creations! I can't let you destroy the remaining Reapers! They belong to me!
Shepard: Really? The whiny kid I met on Earth, created the Reapers?
Whiney Kid: Yes! And now, I will show you what I'm really made of. [Whiney Kid transforms into a giant Angel. The background transforms into sky. Shepard, Liara and Javik all fight this giant angel for another two hours. The music in the background is somewhat angelic. That is how you know this is the last boss fight in the game. You sigh in relief knowing that you are fighting the ultimate boss fight. But you're dissapointed that this tune is basically a rip off of Final Fantasy VII's One Winged Angel].
Whiney Kid: Ahhh. I am losing control! I must have control! [The other Reapers all laser beam the already dying Whiney Kid. Then they speak to Shepard].
Random Reaper: Under the Tyrany of Saren, Harbinger and Star Child. We were reduced to Savages! Reaping world for many cycles. Thanks to you, we have freedom. Now we have you as our Shepherd. You have led us to our salvation! Thank you...
[A really cheesy monatage of showing that the galaxy is fine ensues. Also Liara T'Soni narrates the games epilogue. The credit tune is a really hyper Japanese Pop tune about how freedom is the best thing ever.]

The ending was memorable, all right.
ME1-ending was memorable for me...Shepard stumbling out of the debris, wounded but alive, triumphant. She had this awesome grin on her face that said more than words and won me over to the game for good.

Shepard climbing out of the rubble in ME1 was my favorite scene of the series.
