Story-wise I loved this game, I liked the characters. I felt like it was building up to something big and interesting. The Human Reaper though . . . was anyone just . . . staring at it, wondering, "What?"
Kidnapping humans to liquify them, only to have it pumped into a Reaper . . . in a human shape? Really? This is their big plan? I was expecting some sort of deal where humans were genetically important, somehow, hinted at by your talk with Mordin. I was expecting some sort of Husk deal, where they were perfecting some new sort of Husk.
But a Giant Reaper?
I could have bought a "Giant Husk" more than a Giant Reaper.
So much build up, I was so into the suicide mission . . . and then we open things up and see that thing. I was seriously having to peal my face off of my keyboard after that.
Giant Reaper Human . . . thing . . .

Ill copy my reply in a thread a few seconds ago...
Before the endgame, I was going on my theory that the reapers use element zero a lot, its their fuel to say, and its very hard to harvest and is fairly rare, so they wait for civilizations to evolve to the point where they rely on Eezo, and they use those civilizations as their "bees' to collect all their necter for them, hence why in the game you really only find eezo in areas that have life currently or have references to life on it in the past. The eezo also collects in the central nervous systems of advanced creatures...hence why we are 'harvested'.
but no....they turn us into go-juice for a giant terminator that isnt a terminator because bioware would be sued for copywrite.....hence the 3rd eyeball on it.

It's not a giant reaper. Actual reapers are much, much, much bigger than that joke of a design.
I can't believe someone approved that as the final boss. But it was good for a chuckle.

I agree... I mean, I honestly have no problem with a human reaper.... But does it really have to look like a Human? Imagine that flying through space, god that'd be so awkward. Lol.

It makes sense to me in the grand scheme of things, but I did think it was VERY cheesy.
I saw it and I was just like "really????really?? this is the best they could come up with for a final boss?"

The question is it male or not and does it have the goods to go with it.
Colonist: Oh my god there looks to be a ridiculously large human floating towards us. What's that near the back? It looks like a tail.....

It makes perfect sense when you think about it. If Reapers just wanted to exterminate organic life in the galaxy, they wouldn't have left the mass relays to guide the technological development of organic species. They'd just nuke all the planets in the galaxy into oblivion.
They need organic species for their reproductive cycle, so they allow primitive lifeforms to remain and wipe out all the species that possess sufficient biological and technological advancement.

I was a bit disappointed as well. Every mission in ME2 was simply amazing and keeping in mind how epic the ending was in ME1 I was really hoping to see something extraordinary. That giant reaper was a total letdown.

It looked dumb at first, but the fight that ensued was actually well done I thought.

Think of the resources to be wasted if they made it to the specs of Miranda.....the whole population of china just to make the left cup.

I only played on normal...but i super weaponed it to death...killed in like 3 cycles... maybe less..i was too scared and too like...what the hell seriously? im fighting a stupid terminator. I figured some more enemies would spawn too...like harbingers and what have you during each cycle...that would of made things intresting...

I heard a theory that Reapers have two different appearences, an interior and exterior. The "Human" reaper would've been the interior and the exterior would look similar to Sovereign.

Lmao, I shot it in the eye with my pistol because it kept bouncing all over the place. The pistol actually worked a lot better than the particle beam thing.

I just thought it was stupid that they tell us that they make Reapers in the form of various particular races, but then they show the Reaper army coming at the end and every Reaper looks just the same as Sovereign

I liked it, although i was dissapointed we didn't get to fight the collector general at all. I was expecting him as the final boss.
I would have liked it you had to fight him, then take on the reaper.

it looks bad ass imo, and didnt someone say that they make reapers out of the most advanced race of the time they wipe out all life? they tried prothians but they failed.

I had no problem with the notion that people were being harvested to make a Reaper - that was cool. I just wish they'd have gone less human, more Reaper with the art design like they say they considered in the CE art book.
I didn't want to be cracking up when I saw the final boss. And I really, really was.

I think it was sort of sad seeing Harbinger losing control of it, then it looks around curious to what the hell's happened.

I was a soldier so i had that skill that slows everything down by 50% for a few seconds, and the skill repops really fast.......its overpowered IMHO, hope they tune it down a bit.

I disagree with that as if you look at Sovereign, he looks like one of our squids. So who can say that there was some sort of advanced squid civilization and the Reapers made that species into a Reaper. That human Reaper was probably only the first one to be built and the Reapers would have eventually used our entire species into making more Reapers. Not to mention a human reaper would have a great advantage over other ships due to the hands aspect. He could literally grab another ship and throw it.
I do like how the Collector General with his dying breath sends Reaper data off to you.
