Mate with the Citadel? Maker, think of the children.

 

Well one of his bros already tried and that's what came out of it:

That's kind of the main problem with the Reapers. They are extremely powerful and as a result have to act like idiots most of the time. Because if they would do something competent once, just once in the entire trilogy, it's game over for the current cycle.

If they actually used their apparently superior AI intelligence in the game it wouldn't work as the RPG Power-fantasy it was made to be any longer. It would turn into a hopless horror game where Shepard desperately struggles to fight the Repaers without any sucess and instead everyone else around him dies in battle against increasingly horrorful Reaper-abominations until all hope is lost and s/he dies alone while the Reapers wipe out galactic civilisation and turn all major planets intopost apocalyptic, lifeless wastelands. That would make more sense than the actual story of ME3, yet I somehow doubt many people would like it.

That was actually the exact type of story I was expecting it to be from the start, and if written well, would have been marvellous. I bet you'd be surprised at how many people would be happy with that story, especially since it would focus a lot more on character's (something which gamers seem to like) and their individual struggles in dealing with the inevitability of defeat. If Bioware did it right it would go down as the best video game story ever and win numerous GOTY awards.

It would certainly scorch the franchise quite thoroughly.

I'd personally love to see it as well. But I fear we are a minority here. Apparently a lot of people already think that the current ME3 is already to bleak (I personally think it was arguably way too lighthearted for a game which has a galaxy-wide invasion of eldritch machine-abominations as main story, but whatever). Based on this I'd say that there would have been quite an uproar among the fans if ME3 turned out to be like that.

Most people don't appreciate downer-endings in video games unfortunately.

Developers just have no clue, they overuse many jokes (Garrus' cailbration) and sometimes straight up forget that this is no GTA (Tali getting drunk. What? Now, get off my ship, really, i can't imagine, for example, Otacon in MGS4 getting drunk onboard Nomad, am i supposed to tolerate this kind of thing?). They should've just saved it for Citadel DLC, but overall theme should've been more dark and serious. 

 

Instead, we get a handful of jokes about Garrus' calibrations and stuff. And that's only one example, really.

Dunno if I'd care for more seriousness. 30 hours of that crap would probably send my cynic-meter to tilt. The plot itself honestly did not warrant anything more than what we got, in my opinion. If I'm not gripped by the premise, more gloominess and straight faced storytelling that has little humor will only bore me.
