Makes you wonder if honor and morality are worth it in the end. Is survivability worth any price?
Gif is not mine, props to the owner though for making it.

We all die, and nothing goes with you, you'll be misunderstood if not forgotten. So what holds value to YOU?

Is that you Pilot?

A pivotal character that answers some of the biggest questions in the franchise, and they cut it out and put him behind a Day 1 DLC paywall.

Why write "props to the owner" when you are not mentioning him/her?
Hembrent
I dunno, I just named him Douchebag Shepard and did whatever felt funniest at the time.

Some may question your right to destroy ten billion people. Those who understand, realise that you have no right to let them live!

Mass effect?

Yes

WHAT GAME @OP
JagoAldrin
Mass Effect.
Floopdeshoop
It makes me think that Saren was not a bad guy, just wanted people to keep on living instead of complete annihilation of all intelligent lif
cashdash25
Uh, yes? That's the entire point of Saren's character arc, he was a well meaning guy who got indoctrinated trying to do the right thing.

What game was this again? It sounds like a movie line.

I'll admit, it didn't make my Shepard any less paragon-y. But I enjoyed his suggestions of tossing everyone out airlocks.

We all end up dead in the end. If the destination is the same, then what matters is how you get there. Get there with honor.

As an Archaeologist of death I'm often struck by the unsettling thought that the Earth is a vast floating tomb for 100 billion corpses.
KrazyAmigo
That's some heavy shit...
McKyrl
That's the most metal job title I've ever heard.
BangBangLuckyLuke
I have actually business cards with 'Archaeologist of Death' printed on them. I don't really hand them out, but they're nice to have.

I killed the quarians instead of the Geth and now I feel like an asshole for killing Tali
LaughingWolf
You should feel bad for killing Tali, don't feel bad about the Quarians in general -- they were assholes. Geth didnt deserve genocide.
Undesirable64
I tried so hard to save her. I literally felt remorse for my actions.
browniesftw
that mini cinematic. :(

@OP is a wet basket
noctynight
Even though I know what that means, I like that term for some reason
McKyrl
Did I miss something? Is wet basket a spin on wet blanket?
noctynight
It's in the urban dictionary.
McKyrl
I went there and it was a reference to wet lady parts, is that what it is? If so I don't really get it...
noctynight
It's like calling someone a pussy, but in a more humorous and less antagonistic way is what I got from it.
totalsolution
When a citation is taken out of context.He talks about himself and the rulers of their race,because they wouldn´t let their armies fall back
LaughingWolf
The quote doesnt change it's meaning out of context. His race lost the war and is extinct because they held to their values for too long.
Irwynn
And then you reach the end of the game and wonder why anything mattered.
McKyrl
Truth
Ohdearlordanothercat
I loved the synergy ending. Considering the emphasis on organic v synthetic the whole time, I felt it was the best way to save everyone
MrPresidentDino
As a huge fan of Mass Effect...fucking gotme

It matteres. It matters enough that 100+ hours over 3 gane weren't made obsolete by 30 minutes of a crappy ending.
AJRDeck
Last game was shit from Rannoch forward. Second game was meh. They all have their moments, but overall, yeah. Ending did basiclaly kill it.
ReadThatCommentAgainHahMadeYouLook
Couldn't agree more! The last game is the culmination of all your choices from the first two. It's not just about the last 30 minutes.
HistoricalContext
This is why I'm still excited for Andromeda. The ending left a sour taste in my mouth, but not enough to kill the hype for me.
Valor123
Well yeah. The end goal is always to get the ending where you don't die.
VelociRachelwastakenandthatmademesad
I still replay the series in spite of the ending. It's a game that connected to me, in some emotional way I can't explain well.
NexiKuro
I remember sitting through that blatant stat check conversation praying for my teammates to rescue me for once, the disappointment was real.
NexiKuro
2/3 The only thing I wanted from the Mass Effect ending was some http://i.imgur.com/jm7Z4yL because you can't save the galaxy by yourself.
NexiKuro
3/3 The opposite thing happened and I had to sit through it all twice for NG+ because I noped out of the game before the ending finished.
LaughingWolf
Of course it mattered. It's about the journey, not the destination. A mediocre ending doesn't invalidate a magnificent journey.
NexiKuro
I would've liked the journey more if the last third of it wasn't one big preemptive victory lap tying up all the major sub plots.
LaughingWolf
In what what is it a preemptive victory lap?. It was the climax to what the previous 2 games had been building up to. 1/2
LaughingWolf
Of course its going to tie up major plotlines, that's the point of a final act. If it didn't then the game would be absent of resolution 2/2
NexiKuro
They wrote themselves into a corner by giving you enemies you can't directly fight against. There was no main plot, just you going around 1
NexiKuro
2/2 doing the victory lap of fixing everyone's unrelated problems that got established a game ago. Remove it and there's nothing left.
LaughingWolf
which comprises the main plot. And their are than "5short ish missions", there is enough main missions + side missions to make ME3 2/3
LaughingWolf
as long as ME1 and ME2, all three games have 30hours worth of content. No shit if you cut the main plot missions it'd be shorter. 3/3
LaughingWolf
The main plot was you solving other races problems to get their armies. That's not a victory lap, that's gathering allies and armies 1/3
NexiKuro
3/2 As much as sequels are continuations of stories, they do need to actually have some new content. and 5ish short missions doesn't cut it.
