What 'history' is that?

[KingZayd]

No change from the default: wouldn't buy it.

At this point, another bad decision's not going to change anything. I'll only react if they do something good.

I would only play it if the main conflict of the game was Synthesis, and you could work to unsynthesize the galaxy.

[Red Panda]

It would be full of win.

[WYLDMAXX]

I would not purchase the next Mass Effect game if that was the case. That's how I roll with Synthesis ending.

That's okay, I'll just purchase another copy.

Personally the smart money is to have Destroy and Control as the "Canon" endings for ME4. Basically Synthesis ends the franchise in a way that makes it impossible to continue the series. So it would be treated as "if you took synthesis, then that's the end. The Reapers won, but so did everyone else."

Control and Destroy are close enough to each other that it wouldn't be so hard to make ME 4 able to take place in either version of the galaxy.

That's my prediction anyway...

Bioware have gone downhill, but I can't believe that there aren't some people still there who can see just how bad it is.

With regards to how the series can progress....they seriously need to send someone in with a flamethrower first

[Diurdi]

Well, they better have a god damn good story that incorporates Synthesis in that case. If it's just that we're green but otherwise nothing changed, then you can count me out for sure.

Well I am of the personal opinion that the ending was one of the worst pieces of writing in gaming this year. It's pretty bad. But it's what we've got and best to just accept it now and move on.

I'm currently playing through the series again so that by the time I get to the extended cut, I expect I'll be more at peace with it.

In regards to the query - Synthesis simply can't be used. It quite definitively ends the setting in a way that makes it impossible to make a sequel with Control, Synthesis and Destroy as options. Synthesis needs considerably more assets created and a lot of thought into how to make it fit in with an overarching story that can also work in a post Control or post Destroy setting.

So the choices are either make Synthesis non-canon for Mass Effect 4 or only make prequels. And I expect most people don't want prequels.

Given that, they can make a story that isn't Reaper focused but has Control or Destroy as the background setting with maybe a side quest that follows up on Shepard's involvement with either controlling the Reapers or dealing with the remnants of a Reaper.

My main prediction will be that the Reapers will not be central to ME4.

Synthesis, however, fundamentally changes the setting in a way that would not translate well without pretty much being its own game. Given the controversial nature of that ending, I don't see Bioware being willing to put resources into such a project mostly because it is unlikely to be financially viable.

I'd say that the number of people expecting Synthesis to carry over into ME4 are a subset of the people who liked Synthesis. As such, they probably wont number enough to justify the amount of extra work Bioware would need to do to make it fit.

So long as the plot isn't about saving the galaxy crap, I don't really care if they canonize anything. I might buy it, but I will be a bit pissy at having to save the galaxy... unless they give me an option to side with the enemy, and destroy it.

[Pedrak]

I actually hope they do this, just to see the epic rage of many people who desperately want a sequel and not a prequel but hate glowing green eyes.

Too bad, guys! You're stuck with the pod people now...!

Not take ME4 seriously

I would but it for the humor as when people are talking to me they're going to be all green and i'm going to make bad puns about how "Shepards inside them" *wink* *wink*

What do you mean by canonized?The choice Default Shep makes?Or is it that no matter what ending you chose,Synthesis will replace it when you import your character into ME4?

I dare you to spend $60 on another copy just to prove a point to a person who you probably won't hear from again in a few years.

Just this minute finished my first trilogy playthrough since the game was released...and it didn't really work for me tbh. Leviathan did somewhat lessen the blow though tbh I found. I was still dumbstruck though at everything after the beam.

With regards to my comment about BW realising how bad it is, I was really only referring to synthesis...I still believe Destroy can be saved(with a lot of work)....It will not be, but there is potentially enough there for a mod or fan-fic to at least salvage something.

Where's the conflict?

[CosmicGnosis]

It's unfortunate that so many people now look for any reason to hate Mass Effect.

I didn't look. It found me.
