Not really, but I do want the ending to make sense within the narrative and not for the writers to make something up at the last minute. In the case of Bioshock Infinite, if time travel's never an issue until the ending, then that would be a problem for me.

Unless i've gotten it completely wrong, which is totally possible, weren't the quarians to start the morning war? Didn't the Geth just defend themselves, unless controlled by the reapers?
I think this renders the whole created will always rebel against the creators point a little moot.. If it wasn't already considering the peace achieved in ME3


Yes they were... as much Geth intervention under the Sovereign´s control... or the Zha´til influenced by Reapers....

"Great ending"


For an introductory game, yeah, but in case you were living under a rock Naughty Dog specifically write the Uncharted games with the Indiana Jones style and feeling, so of course its going to be pretty standard. Thats the whole point of the series.

That and i haven't seen any praise regarding U1's end sequence specifically, and i agree its not the greatest thing ever.

introductory game?www.youtube.com/watch,www.youtube.com/watch pretty much the same

Turning the savior of the galaxy into a comic book supervillain in the last few minutes is hardly "thinking outside teh box"

It's turning the box into an inescapable trap.

Then i guess it was just a matter of saving face for the reapers. Something like:

- Hey, they made peace down there, synthetics and organics
- Oh crap, now what?
- Bah, let's keep harvesting, no one will know the details 50.000 years from now

No it does not render the whole created will always rebel against the creators point a little moot. Why? Because the created are still rebelling, even though organics give them reasons to.

Notice that Catalyst doesn't assign blame to the synthetics...in fact Catalyst can say about organics "you bring it on yourselves".

And remember peace was achieved because a being that was a hybrid of organic and synthetic used the geth upgrades to force the quarians to hold fire or face destruction.

And EDI gets along with the crew, great......now she should announce to the entire Citadel that she is an AI and see what happens.....

As i said, thats the whole point of those games. Yeah its simple, but they don't introduce unecessary twists, new characters or stray from the core themes presented through the story. Starts simply, ends simply, good game. Not worth the huge amount of praise it gets due to technical issues, but still good.

Again, we're talking about ND here, creators of feel good games such as Jak and Daxter and Crash Bandicoot. We could see a shift in attitude with Last of Us though.

I think there's a difference between going Skynet on the world and trying to not be destroyed.
Geth didn't decide to wipe out the Quarians, Quarians attacked because they though it could, maybe, someday happen. To me makes a world of difference.
As for the Edi part, that's prejudice, not rebellion

I did, but is not my point.
Machines aren't rebelling because they believe to be the superior beings and deem necessary to kill organics.
Machines are rebelling against extintion, if we could call it rebellion. Judging by what i know, Geth defended themselves, drove the Quarians from Rannoch and then just stood there for nearly 300 years, until Sovereign woke up and decided to use them to start the harvest.
It's hardly threatening to all organic life if you ask me.

The Quarain/Geth peace was done because Shepard forced the Quarians to peace. They just didn't figure it out themselves, they were forced to peace or faced destruction. Without Shepard, there would be no peace.

EDI is not large scope...nevermind she also turned against her creators.


This is getting obtuse... 

You can't know that they couldn't figure it out for themselves. Could the Krogan and Salarians figure out the genophage by themselves? I don't know. You are right that a predecessor of Edi (a VI, not a true AI) turned on its creator. But Edi, did not. 

What is large scale by the way?

To be fair, Edi did rebel against the creators. Still isn't a threat worthy or galactic harvest, but it happened

If you can call someone suddenly gaining intelligence and going "WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON?" and merely going haywire "rebellion".

Even then she didn't "rebel" in her original state, Cerby Cerb waltzed in (because they can do that apparently) and gave her intelligence. Its utterly insane to call that a rebellion.

However, what if they reach the point where they decide to destroy all organics because they always attack them?

The Geth will finally realize they may have to kill their creators and they will if given the chance.

She was created by the Alliance, modified by Cerberus, and allies herself with the Alliance (lol) of her own free will. Y'know, her being the ship and all could easily have just FTL'd the **** outta there at the end of ME2, vented the crew and all that.

Real rebellion right there.

@EnvyTB075: I'm just saying Edi "rebelled" against her/it's creators, Cerberus. Merely stating the fact. Personally i think was a good thing, and in no way a threat to anyone, just calling it as i see it.

@txgoldrush: Now we're dealing in what ifs, So what if organics stop shooting Geth and they all live toghether? What ifs work both ways.

When has anyone ever rebelled because they thought they were superior to their oppressors? Usually it's becasue their current ruling body mistreats them that they decide to rebel in the first place.

But the organics wouldn't stop firing, and it takes them the threat of destruction to do so.

Also take the Rannoch Reapers words into account. He foreshadows the Reapers motives.
