Yes it is. Everything thing stated in ec says it is. 

Oh you mean " The man Shepard was" or  how it never refers to itself as Shepard?


Or how it says Shepard is dead, multiple times.

Was as in "what I was before" Shepard is no longer a man/woman...Not even human.


Seems people are refusing the cannon ending for control.... Sheparlyst clearly identifies itslef as something completely different his thoughts and who he was helped create the new AI but it is not Shepard otherwise he would be like.....

"Yo Guyzzz Ima reaper now!!!! I took over harbi's brain" Not trying to be a troll

It means it's no longer human...Not a different person.

For me, faith is not something that can so easily be restored.

Bioware made some good decisions but a ton of bad decisions too, most of which are at least somewhat understandable. For me, the choice to stand by the endings but NOT have the creators engage in any meaningful conversations with the fans whatsoever definitely hurt their reputation far more then the original endings did, and the EC can't fix that.

Indeed, he is no longer human, because he is dead.

No, because he is an AI now.

For me the endings remain unchanged I feel exactly the same in the Original ending as the EC and that feeling is something like depression. Like my god I played all three game sunk hundreds of hours into this franchise and i get this EDI dead, the Geth Dead and my Shep half alive on the citadel.

I hate control and Synthesis as I don't really want my Shep to become a God like being or force synthesis on the entire galaxy. I would have been happy if the ending had not forced the sacrifices on me, throughout the entire game it is constantly pressed on you that millions of people are dying every day the ending did not need to force the player to commit genocide just to let his shep live.

That said I do like Mass effect 3 and have played it through several times however I have not nor will I ever like the ending I usually stop playing prior to priority earth and (as much as I loathe Head cannon) I simply make my own ending for my shep one where he does live and so do the geth and EDI plenty of people die in the final battle so I don't really see the need to kill the Geth or EDI. I do respect Bioware's decision though and will continue to buy their products even if I have come to dislike the endings especially the last two DA2 and ME3.

I know this is slightly off topic I just wanted to express my opinion and I understand there are people who like the endings. This is just my opinion (then again I have never really liked sacrificial or bittersweet endings) I don’t really want a super happy ending where everyone has a party and dances on the reaper corpses well into the night. To be honest all I wanted was a reunion scene between my Shep and his LI without having to imagine it.


Same

It directly refers to Shepard and itself as a seperate entity. "His/her thoughts guide me"

Don't try to let these people bring you down. Most of them have really sad lives, it pointless to try and argue with them.

I must admit it helped, but it hardly restored my faith. Kinda like a band-aid for a broken ankle, know what I mean?

Still, props for Bioware for at least doing SOMETHING.


This sums it up.

I'm glad they cared.  I just wish they cared more...

You're talking about cloning, which I agree makes different things than original even if genetically identical. I'm talking about transhumanism, which had Shepard downloaded into new Catalyst but retaining everything that makes Shepard Shepard.

That doesn't matter, in the slightest.

Also Sheplyst says it isn't Shepard, so it isn't Shepard, drawing a picture wasn't simple enough so I'm just gonna fall back on good old fashion concrete, irefutable evidence.

I'm not defending Control anymore, now I'm talking about transhumanism and how it's a possibility for those who want to believe shepard is still Shepard.

Shepard is only shepard when he stays Shepard.
This control thing, is only an altered virtual version of Shepard.

As stated, has same personality, morals, memories, etc. so it can be argued that it's not altered as well.



I think the way you're using the word "it" to talk about it automatically makes it something else, not Shepard.
Will it have the same desires and personality as Shepard? No.

How can you say that? It has the same thoughts that does nto mean it won't have the same desires. It will not be held under the limits of an organic body, meaning it won't be held by the instincts that body need. That does not mean it personal desire of Shepard would not be the same.

A copy is not the original. Ever. Shepard is dead. This thing is not Shepard, but an avatar based on the morals and principles, but not the original.

Whoa man.

So what you are trying to say is that, even though Led Zeppelin isn't around anymore and Led Zepagain is based on their songs, they aren't actually Led Zeppelin?

Thats crazy stuff right there man.

Things that are based of things are not copies of that thing....Also, how do we know the Shepard AI is just a copy.:whistle:

I'm not even sure why we're talking about it.
As someone already stated even this virtual Shepard says he is no longer his former self.

Please, when has that been said in ec?

The shepard AI states"The man I was" not  "them an I 'm based off".

The problem with saying it's a copy is that you have to prove the ai is a copy. Nothing even hints to that. Only that the Shepard AI was human and now is not.

Tranfers like this already exsist in the meu.....

Snip because holy wall of text


I have read everything people have posted. But its been so over aggregated and oversaturated now I'm just done hearing it. I've moved on, you should too. 
The fact that you wrote 3 huge paragraphs for my little sentence proves you care way too much. Move on, for the sake of yourself.

By the time EC came out I lost all my passion for the series.

It had the potential of resparking the passion, but it just didn't.

Most I seen was people agreeing and disagreeing with their opinion, people agruing with you (as always), and a couple people (who liked the ending) start with the insults
