Nah, I'm perfectly aware of what I'm saying.

Fasinating

[dsl08002]

For you maybe, but that's probably because you refuse to move on from the original ending and to realize that the ending does make sense. But hey, I can't make you change your mind. God knows I've tried.. and I'm not the only one.

im afraid you are. sorry

[Vazgen]

Not everyone dislikes the endings, mate.

Anderson born in London makes sense to me

 

And me as well.

 

That joke was one part rule of threes, one part making fun of Anderson telling you over and over again where he was born.

A little off-topic but since you mentioned you're from London - are there any metro stations near the beam?

Oh, no, I'm not from London. I was just saying that there's nothing logically wrong with Anderson being born there.

Oh, sorry, misunderstood

the one to ask is von uber. He has mentioned a couple of things about that area a few times.

No, I studied the endings, both original and EC.  I tried to find something good in the endings, especially after EC.  I really want to like the endings, or even headcanons like IT.  I don't want to think I wasted my time and money on the trilogy.  I don't want to think Bioware screwed me over and who knows how many other fans and simply blew us off with EC.  You are not the only one who has tried.  I've tried myself.

 

But there's no getting around it for me:  the endings sucked.  They were a cancer on the story that ended up killing it.  And Bioware doesn't care.

Probably because it didn't kill the story.

[Iakus]

Bioware did listen to some people's complaints. About closure, the lack of choice, and the ability to ask the little boy questions instead of just standing there and accepting everything he tells you. Hence, they made the Extended Cut. To me that says Bioware does care.

Closure?  EC reinforced what I found to be the worst aspects of all the endings.  And couldn't be bothered to add to the one Hope Spot the endings did provide (the faceless torso in the rubble)

 

Lack of choice?  Same three hated options with a "screw you, player" if you refuse.

 

Sure you can ask the Catalyst question, and you get really vague answers that go nowhere.  I mean "organic energy?"  Seriously?

... and then stand there and accept everything he tells you. That or watch him pout in his true Reaper voice and then get told everybody dies.

 

Also do you not see how dumb this sounds? After all the highs and lows of the series, all the epic moments, you get to listen to a holographic child spout the biggest load of bullshit since [insert appropriate reference here], accept it and then do perform three of the most illogical actions even under normal circumstances?

[Iakus]

I guess you missed the "for me" part.

 

For me and lots of other people.  

 

Unless you think my opinion doesn't count for anything?

So much this.

The extended cut did fix one thing, the flashbacks when Shepard is choosing whatever ending

[CrutchCricket]

Shepard has multiple internal injuries. Extreme blood loss tends to cause confusion and such. Shepard is near death.

Name one real life example where a severely injured person shot at a random tube while walking towards it or grabbed what appeared to be live power wires. The only thing that kinda works is falling into the beam. Because people can stumble. And also gravity. Hell that's probably what pads the synthesis statistics. People just walk forward in a daze and fall into the beam. I know that's what happened with me, the player, the first time.

"Lots" of other people still thought the game was great, despite the ending. "Lots" of other people are fine with the ending, especially after the EC.

Everyone has opinions. It's not BioWare's job to cater to them all, especially the willfully negative ones.

[GalacticWolf5]

Could have just given Shepard a full clip, which is 36 shots (6 per reload). Plenty for the end game.

You don't understand. If someone decides they want to shoot at stuff while walking and then they arrive at the decision chamber and they don't have anymore ammo, they can't progress the story. Well they could if they were going to choose Control or Synthesis, but not Destroy because they wouldnt have anything to shoot with.

Put a respawning thermal clip there

Why shoot at all?

 

This makes the least sense any way you slice it. Even if you take everything at face value, you get digitized and uploaded into the Reapers in Control and in everything in synthesis, but how does busting up that one pipe release the destroy wave? It's absolutely nonsensical.

 

Not to mention that if you wanted Shepard caught in the explosion of the pipe, forcing him to beat on it with a stick, or his fists makes far more sense. Well, not really, but you eliminate the derp of walking forward.  You even get a symbolism bonus by making the action to destroy savage and "Shepard Smash"-y

What are these multiple internal injuries? If Shepard is suffering such extreme blood loss, she would never of faced the catalyst let alone be conscious

The injury that Shepard suffered in her stomach region is most likely caused by shrapnel. After Shepard gets up, not once does she look down or at her hand until after the arms of the Citadel are opened. I would guess that wound wasn't that bad. The blood that is seen on her hand is likely blood that accumulated on her armor and not fresh blood
