Yup. If you're still enraged about the ending two years later, then I worry about you.

I find the singleplayer pretty boring now, to be honest. It's just too easy, and the gameplay is pretty much the same unless you let certain characters die in ME1/2.

Nothing against people who enjoy it, just saying that I don't.

So I guess the secret to being at peace with the epic sf-rpg trilogy is to not bother with the rpg trilogy but focus on the shooting

What. 

[RZIBARA]

Nope, If I was, I would have kept my 360 and copy of ME trilogy. Had a lot of DLC installed on it as well

Believe it or not, gameplay is actually pretty important in a video game.

Narrative is important too.

 

Especially in a narrative-driven rpg.

Yes it is, and Mass Effect has a great narrative.

However, the singleplayer gameplay in 3 is boring as sin. I don't know about you, but when I play games, I want to have fun, which is something that ME3's campaign does not provide for me. It did once, but not any more.

Again, nothing against you if you enjoy it. I don't.

Dude, how often do you criticize the narrative and the lack of RPG-ness in the second and third games?  That's two-thirds of the trilogy.

We disagree and I'm cool with that. I love multiplayer for what it brings: chance to play wildly different characters of similar archetypes and chance to have fun with killing bad guys, be it with friends or strangers.

 

But I still love single player portion of the game. As stated often, I focus on characters, not the story itself. The latter itself is not half bad, but the former are just great and that's what draws me back to the trilogy, even after finishing it four times already. And I don't see that changing anytime soon.

 

So, to answer OP question... yes, I am. I don't thing I ever wasn't.

Whenever they feel like it and why wasn't the third game a good rpg anyways? It has nearly everything that ME1 had but a more complex inventory management.

[KaiserShep]

I hated ME1's inventory system. Just about the only thing I miss from the management of gear is the third slot for mods on higher tier weapons and armor, and the fact that armor itself had an effect on the stats of both the PC and companions. I liked ME3's the most, because despite all of the things you can acquire, making it inaccessible to swap on the field ensured that you never had to care about it getting full, which became an annoying game of what to turn into omnigel.

You'd be amazed how therapeutic it can be to just shoot sh't in a game when you are "not at peace". Could be the whole reason they created the MP system. Random violence is odd ball locations as therapy for those who disagree with the ends.

And now some can use the arena for Shepard to do the same.

[Deebo305]

Never had a problem with them, I always destroy them aanyway. Death of Geth & Edi? No f*cks given, necessary sacrifices for the greater good

The Proteans made the Zah'til star go supernova...

What if the council or Salarians are using Protean tech to make Halestrom go supernova just to block off the Perseus weil from the rest of the galaxy? I doubt it's the Quarians this time, it also sounds like the Quarians wanted to know what was going on, since they want to retake their homeworld, that might be the only route to Rannoch.

Unless ofcourse they did it and wanted to collect scientific data but didn't tell Tali about it. We know it's not a natural phenomenon, so someone is behind it, it doesn't seem likely that the Geth would try and blow up one of their inhabited systems.

Or maybe the Proteans are comming back and they (with their dislike for synthetics decided to get rid of the Geth infested area of space.

Whatever it was or who is behind it, it wasn't natural.

Why was that a part of ME2? Ìt doesn't even make a difference for ME3. Forshadowing for a future game?

Don't come with that darkenergy plot.. That didn't even make sense, humans arn't magical and can't change the structure of spacetime.

Holy headcannon, Batman!

We're told it wasn't natural, so someone did it. Probably wasn't the Krogans even if they like big booms.

It was foreshadowing to the Dark Energy plot. 

That's it. The ability to cause a sun to supernova is far beyond ANYTHING in Mass Effect. It was probably just the Protheans destroying the relay.

Why did Javik claim they blew up the sun in Zah'til's system then? Still, I have to admit I don't like the idea of people being able to blow up suns. Javik lied or putting it in there was a misstake from Bioware.

Javik was boasting about the Protheans. Doesn't seem unlikely, does it?

Blowing up the relay makes more sense for them to do anyway, and comes with the same result. 

[SporkFu]

I dunno, it'd be easy to assume Javik is just boasting up the protheans. It's what he does. But in the case of the Zha'Til, I just didn't get that impression.

I'm not quite sure I understand the purpose of the destruction ending (As in, if you destroy synthetics and reapers, wouldn't people make new ones and the cycle of synthetic rebellion start again?). Not trying to start a debate or anything, promise.   

Any-who my favourite way to treat the ending is:
 

ME3 events up to saving Earth -> Earth is somehow saved -> Citadel DLC for the aftermath (Victory party!)

As far as Destroy being a 'permanent' solution to the Synthetic-Organic-conflict is concerned - I guess you'd have to rebuild the relays and the Crucible and keep a finger on the trigger in case AIs show up and start looking uppity. At least you've guaranteed longterm organic survival that way.

The purpose of it is dead Reapers, nothing more, nothing less. A lot (most?) people who pick it when actually deciding what they think's best (as opposed to RPing a Shepard who might think differently to them) reject the Catalyst's claims anyway, so don't accept the whole cycle of rebellion thing.

[Gkonone]

I'm mostly over it although I still think the ending was some very bad story telling. I saw the E3 trailer that showed a (tiny) bit of info on the next ME and I wasn't excited at all.

I still believe that Shepard's story shouldn't have ended like it did and that there should have been more games with Shepard. But well, that's not happening so I've greatly lost interest in the franchise.

 

And why I'm still browsing the forums, nostalgia mostly.
