Do we really need thousands of the same threads complaining about the endings?
Well considering there seems to be a rather equal amount pro/anti end, how about just no more new threads if we really don't need them eh?

That's just it though, most of the anti-enders who would come into a pro-ending thread with the intent to derail it are not the type for civil discussions.jeffyg93 wrote...

People should be free to create whatever thread they want, given it's on-topic, no matter how redundant the message is. Besides it seems almost every thread on the endings are negative.
However, anti-enders should post here too. This topic shouldn't turn into a circlejerk like many of the anti-ending topics. Civil debate is good and only serves to strengthen opinions.

What? That is awesome.....I'll seriously never understand the hate for the EC.....its beautiful. I have 7 'complete' playthroughs of the trilogy....and I haven't even seen half of these slides posted in this thread.....
There's so much variation......I feel like it goes unappreciated in the "YouTube" era....
Half of 6 is three... big whoop.
The fact that the concept of the endings is still horrible and shoe-horned into the ME franchise may be a part of it.
There's more than 6.
"The fact that the concept of the endings is still horrible"
No that's actually an opinion.

Yes, to say the concept of the endings is horrible is an opinion. However, it is a fact that this ending (which was not the originally intended conclusion for the franchise, you can debate whether or not that's a good thing elsewhere, but not in reference to this post) does leave many loose ends. There are many deliberate foreshadowing events in ME2 for the original plot, and those are now (very annoyingly, in my opinion) irrelevant and dangling, unresolved plot threads. The conclusion of ME3 does not resolve why ME2 even happened...why did the Reapers need a human Reaper so quickly? Why were humans so important that they needed to round them up and process them before the Reapers even arrived? None of this is taken into account, and at least to me, it feels like the entire metaplot of ME2 was largely ignored in favor of this new "cycle of destruction" thing. In all honesty, I felt like all that was wrapped up on Rannoch, and was (not so pleasantly) surprised that it came up again in the end. It felt like drudging up an old argument with your ex. XD
Making these choices also requires a ton of trust in the Catalyst, and I don't feel it deserves any trust at all. It hasn't proven itself worthy of any trust: it is an agent of the enemy, and for all we've seen, it is just as corrupt and fallible as any single individual has the potential to be. No ten-minute conversation is going to be enough to convince my Shepard (or me) that you are not my enemy, you have to try harder than that. Certainly don't throw a hissy fit if I decide your choices suck. Lol. This is the primary reason I chose to blow them all to kingdom come.
However, I love what the EC has done to "facelift" the original endings. It enabled me to play the series again without feeling like everything was a waste of time. The added slides and variation between epilogues added a sense of control over the outcome I didn't have before, which is great. Miracle of Sound described it as "emotionally satisfying, not logically satisfying," and I wholeheartedly agree. Luckily, emotionally satisfying is good enough for me, because I know asking for "logically satisfying" would require more time and money than they have to put into this. With the EC, the ending is far from "perfect," but it's alright for what it is, and I won't bash it. I'll still give critical critique, but I won't bash it by saying it's the "WORST THING EVAR," because it's not. Lol. Apparently Dune ends in a worse way. (Which has done wonders for my motivation to finish it, let me assure you... XD)

How 'bout we forget about those two? This thread is getting better and better!
Also, has any of you seen the Rachni slide? Trust me, there is one.
I don't remember such slide actually.
After the Krogan go extinct if you don't cure the genophage, the Rachni occupy Tuchanka.

Seival: I am honestly glad you made a thread like this, while I chose destroy I respect the people who did synthesis and control and I like the friendly banter here instead of people just hating

I wish Bioware would take the piece of toilet paper our endings were scribbled on and wipe that little clag-nut Casper from the face of the franchise. Just saying.

I'll have to just politely drop in here and say that I still don't like the endings, and I still don't want to play any Mass Effect. I'm glad others are enjoying it, but I think of ME and feel nothing but disappointment. I don't blame Bioware, I blame myself for that. Maybe in a couple of years I can look back and laugh at the blind enthusiasm that caused my epic disappointment. That's really the only hope I have left for Mass Effect.

So, could people confirm which slides do the best job of making a non-refusal Shep feel less like a war criminal?
