The journey sucked. The last ten minutes weren't that bad.


The journey made the game great, the destination sucked. I don't get how you can turn those two around.
So you played 3 games that you didn't like to get amazed at the last 10 minutes?

It is about the journey mostly, but if the destination sucks, why journey there?


I love the journey of ME1 and ME2. Loved it. When I say the journey sucks, it's that ME3 stripped away what I liked before.. especially ME2. I had a hard time adjusting to it, long before the ending. By the time the ending came, I was ready to finish anyways.

edit: By the way, I'm not here to bring anyone down or gripe too much. To each their own. :)

Aw ok, so the journey was great up to ME2. Bit different from what you stated earlier, but I get it.
No worries, you're not bringing me down, ME3's ending did that a long time ago. ;)

Its the beginning, the journey and the end for me.

That's why the end was hard to stomach.

The journey is only the preparation of the ending. Or do you consider e.g. the college days as more important than the final graduation exams?

Then why would we read a book if it's only to prepare the ending? The last pages should be enough to satisfy the reader.

A story requires a beginning, a middle and an end. It is a machine that has an infinite number of variation but still has configurations that break. The history of the human race is filled with successful stories and archetypes. It is also filled with stories that are forgotten and discarded. Like sports and martial arts there has been a developing understanding of what does or does not work and when it works. A story is a snapshot of events in a real of fictional universe. Like the frames of a movie. Each one an individual but the combined context of the whole gives each part greater value. The only time I don't care about the end is when the beginning or the middle fail to keep my attention.

The journey gives context to the end. The ending becomes greater because of the preceding events. The journey becomes greater by the fulfillment of the actions. But they have to fit.

Although I was disappointed with the ending pre-ending DLC, ever since that came out I found that the ending has not stopped me from replaying the trilogy.

I just enjoy the games too much to let it get to me, and when I get tired or bored, I play Dragon Age.

saying it's about the journey and not the end is like saying sex is about the humping and not the cumming.

While the humping is fun and stuff. It's all about the O-face.

This even beats my Hindenburg analogy...though a pic is still worth posting:
