Remember the time the Reapers were originally going to be the ones protecting the universe by harvesting intelligent life to add to their own so they could figure out a way to fix the Dark Energy crisis? And that Shepherd wasn't a traditional hero in the broadest scope because even though among organics he was a hero, among those who understood what was going on with Dark Energy he was essentially fucking up the only creatures in the galaxy who stood a real chance of stopping the universe from consuming itself?

its a little bit deeper than that; The reapers are operating based on the assumption that organic life will always create synthetic life which will outclass it, and eventually destroy it.

The difference between the reapers and another group of synthetic lifeforms is that the reapers dont take over the galaxy when theyre done, they fuck off, While theoretically another group of synths would kill all organics and set up shop, thereby preventing new organic, sapient life from ever evolving.

In this way the reapers insure the perpetuation of sapient organic life as a concept, rather than a single people.

>>92947512
That and they melt down all the sapient species they find to make more Reapers, like with the human one that you find in 2.

Therefore they're kind of preserving them, instead of just wiping them out.

Yes?

>>92946383
Yeah. That's what Sovereign meant when he said "the cycle cannot be broken". He didn't mean it literally could not be broken because "REAPERS AM PLAY GOD", he meant it couldn't be broken because if it WAS broken then the entire universe would be completely and utterly fucked.

The Reapers were always going to be tremendous assholes, that much never changed. But their rationale for being assholes originally stemmed from a complex situation, rather than being the bad guys for the sake of being the bad guys.

>>92947664
Ridley is way too whiny of an SJW to start with and loves to edit his shit to death. Blade Runner, anyone?

>>92948558
The Reapers were always going to be full of crap. If a writer makes the villain go on a spiel about how they're beyond comprehension, it typically means either a) you're never gonna find out what the villain's goal is, b) the villain actually has a comprehensible plot but is too dumb to realize it, or c) the villain is lying their ass off. And even if the dark matter plot had been kept, the Reapers would still have fit b) or c) just fine. They could never not be stupid liars.

>>92948676
>sjw

Nice buzzword.

>>92948558
Honestly, they shat the bed from the beginning. "WE ARE FAR BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION." is utter tripe. Wanting to archive various organic life forms in the form of Reapers because the universe is going to fizzle out and die, is not terribly difficult to comprehend, dipshit.

Although, ironically, Sovereign's posturing statement ended up being totally correct, because their motivation makes no logical sense whatsoever. Especially if the player busted their ass for countless hours getting war potential up to 100%, and you can fucking see geth and quarian ships fighting alongside each other right out the fucking window.

Mass Effect 3, Life is Strange... What is it with games where your choices "matter" completely invalidating your choices for the sake of forced, shitty endings? Goddamn.

>>92948800
That's true, and that's why even in the original plot they stood a real chance of losing no matter what happened. Sovereign wasn't unique in his belief that the Reapers are above everything else in the universe, so when an organic species came along that was more or less an anomaly in the Reaper's plan (humans as a whole, not just Shepherd), they essentially relied on their own enigma and vanity to make sure their plan went through rather than actually try and work something out with the anomaly to save the universe (because for whatever reason they refused to acknowledge the possibility that an organic species could understand the Dark Energy problem).

>>92948897
>What is it with games where your choices "matter" completely invalidating your choices for the sake of forced, shitty endings? Goddamn.
Because moral ambiguity is apparently fucking hard for writers to comprehend.

>>92948800
>>92948897

While not literally true in that humans can't comprehend the Reapers, the statement still basically stands in the context of their original mission.

Humans can understand all of the words that describe the problem the Reapers were trying to solve, and SAY we understand it, but in the end we would never willingly submit to having their civilization boiled down into a giant supercomputer to help fix the problem.

We can have the problem laid out for us, be given all of the facts, and because we are limited beings that don't want to die we would always reject the game-winning strategy because we lack the perspective to comprehend that this is really necessary.

We are insects who would protest the extermination of the anthill, no matter how many times the adults in the room tried to explain why there was no other way. So why bother trying to explain it to them anyway?

>>92947664
Blame Ridley. Dude has a massive hard on for overexplaining things he did that were better left mysterious.

>>92946266

>Remember when the big scary monsters were actually trying to accomplish something good, and the hero killed them and found out about the bigger problem only to solve it anyway.

What a fresh idea.

>>92949702
The original ending planned out would have had Shepherd make a tough choice: exterminate the Reapers and hope that humanity could solve the Dark Energy problem independently (remember, the most humans know about Dark Energy at this point is "huh, isn't this neat"), or side with the Reapers and allow humanity as a whole to be compiled into a Reaper and help solve the Dark Energy problem at the cost of humanity as a whole.

The ending wouldn't have specified whether or not humanity could have handled the Dark Energy problem on their own, and there was an extraordinarily good chance they wouldn't be able to do anything about it given how little humanity knew about Dark Energy compared to the Reapers, so humanity would have been fucked either way.

>>92949946

>Kill everybody.
>OR
>Let everybody live for an unspecified amount of time -- perhaps eons.

What a griping moral dilemma.

>>92949946
>The ending wouldn't have specified whether or not humanity could have handled the Dark Energy problem on their own, and there was an extraordinarily good chance they wouldn't be able to do anything about it given how little humanity knew about Dark Energy compared to the Reapers, so humanity would have been fucked either way.
The way I see it, if Reapers are too stupid to cooperate with humanity and was weak enough to be exterminated by humanity, then they are clearly not capable of solving the Dark Energy problem.

The Reapers are not as smart as they claim they are, so there is no reason to believe they can handle the Dark Matter threat either way. Humanity clearly won out so let US solve it.

>>92950041

It also bears mentioning that this entire Reapers trying to solve the death of the universe plot is a bad ripoff from Arthur C. Clarke's alt version of the 2001 series called "A Time Oddyssey" wherein the monoliths don't exist to shepherd WREX]/spoiler] new species, but rather to decide which ones are progressing quickly enough to participate in saving the universe and to exterminate those that are wasting precious time and energy.

>>92950127
Seriously though, the problem here is that the Reapers are not godly enough. It is very hard for humanity to take Reapers seriously if Reapers got nerfed so much from the 2nd game onwards.

It also doesn't help that a Lovecraftian horror really have no reason to want to need humans to join them. So the fact that they even wanted humans to form a new Reaper is enough to disqualify them as being worthy of being taken seriously.

Right then so pretend its the future and companies can make perfectly natural looking "assistant" bots that can be made to look like any /co/ character of your choosing.

Well fuck those 90% who gave the game anything above an 8/10, there were numerous objective flaws in the game and quite a few subjective ones. The ending just blinded everyone to them. ME3 was by far the weakest game in the franchise, even without the ending, and that only changed when Andromeda was released because it managed to be more broken and a bigger step backwards than the game that came before it.

I thought the yellow people that we saw a lot of in the first movie were supposed to be Korbinites as well. Just the MCU version, so they have noses and stuff, and are just yellow people. Like how Krylorians are just pink people (without the weird hands and feet)
and Centaurians are just blue people (without the pointed ears, fins and weird nature powers).

The sexbots are the same colour as those MCU yellow people/possible Korbinites, so who knows.

>>92952409
>>92952243

not him but I've gone over this so many times in so many threads, I need to just type up a copypasta to spit out.

It's bad from literally the opening moments.This is the perspective of someone who played through all 3 games in one month. Mass Effect 3 is so bad it retroactively makes the second game worse.

To start things off, the transition from ME2 to 3. Here's the thing. ME2's plot is 90% "fly around the galaxy assembling the greatest team of badasses and tech specialists ever so Shepard and his Squad can literally handle anything" and 10% "deal a group of Reaper minions who are up to no good, but ultimately aren't that relevant considering galactic extinction is approaching." ME 2 ends with the galaxy in pretty much the same state it was at the end of ME1: we know the Reapers are coming, and the galaxy isn't ready for them. The only major difference is Shepard now has this super elite squad that he didn't have before. You'd think, if Mass Effect 2 is going to matter at all in the grand scheme, the main thing that carries over would be Shepard's new supersquad, right? Wrong. At the beginning of 3 all the squad members are gone, and you play the game with a smaller squad of a couple old friends and a couple rookies. It basically renders most of Mass Effect 2 inconsequential, since the squad you spent the entire game building up doesn't even carry over to the finale.

The other problem is, when Mass Effect 2 ends, Shepard gives a rousing speech to his Squad, the game ends on this triumphant note like they're about to get busy finding ways to fuck up the Reapers or something. Then Mass Effect 3 starts, and suddenly Shepard is back on earth, alone, awaiting trial. You don't actually now the full story of why he's back on earth unless you bought the Arrival DLC. If you didn't play that, going from 2's ending to 3's opening is completely jarring and extremely unsatisfying. This is just my impression of the game's opening moments, I could go on.

>>92952409
Deus Ex Machina up the wazoo for one. It doesn't help that the entire game's plot centered on a MacGuffin and the second game completely fucked up pacing but that's another conversation entirely. The final "battle" was also fairly disappointing since you barely saw any of it outside a couple brief cutscenes and the final boss was just the same mooks you've been fighting for the rest of the game. They don't even bother to explain the Reaper's origin/motivation until the last minute and even then they keep it infuriatingly vague despite it being the final game in the trilogy and it's only with a patched ending and DLC do you learn the bulk of it (it's still pretty stupid, even with the added clarification). Shepard's interaction with the "Catalyst" (a literal Deus Ex Machina) spits in the face of everything the games have been about before and Shepard just sheepishly takes its word for fact despite it being an obviously deranged AI. Not to mention all the final choices are all fucking stupid and don't take a single choice you made previously into account. Not only that, but the developers flagrantly lied about the endings being an "ABC" ending (they're even color coded in red/green/blue). That's on top of all the plot holes that the Extended Cut (the patch job for the ending that Bioware made after the intense backlash) barely addresses.

Still, once you get past the shitty ending you'll soon realize the entire game just isn't that good.

>>92952880
>The final "battle" was also fairly disappointing since you barely saw any of it outside a couple brief cutscenes and the final boss was just the same mooks you've been fighting for the rest of the game

I can't remember if it was the Mass Effect devs who said a final boss would be "too video gamey" or some other fuckheads, but I think it was the Mass Effect team

>>92952911
To be fair, making The Illusive Man the final boss was a fucking retarded idea and would only make him more of a Saren Clone than he already was. Seriously, The Illusive Man's character was just so fucking wasted in ME3 despite how awesome he was in ME2...

>>92952972

all the non-reaper antagonists and villains were ruined due to the general rushed nature of the plot. Fucking Udina, what were they thinking there?

Anyway, for the anon who was wondering, that's another big problem with 3. Throughout Mass Effect 1 and 2 there were organizations and individuals who could be antagonistic or even just annoying, who had their own motivations, without being outright evil. In 3, almost all of them suddenly got turned into generic villains

Really, the final boss should've been Harbinger. We had already fought a Reaper on foot back on Rannoch, and with the Human Reaper, so why the hell not?

Also, anyone else find it odd that Harbinger is barely in the game at all? He only shows up at the end, and doesn't say a damn thing, despite one of his defining characteristics being that he never shuts the fuck up.

>>92954813
>We had already fought a Reaper on foot back on Rannoch, and with the Human Reaper, so why the hell not?
Cause he's a kilometer tall and can outfight an entire warfleet practically by himself?

The Destroyer on Rannoch was a mini-Reaper, and even then you only manage to take it down by having an entire fleet repeatedly shoot it in the weakpoint, which the bigger Reapers lack.

>>92954813

Living in peace temporarily does not invalidate eventual extermination of each other.

Think of it like TTGL: Simon and his friends beat the antispirals and "promise to protect the universe", but that victory doesn't mean much because the antispirals were never fighting against the spiral nemesis happening in the next 100 years, but in the next thousand or ten thousand. Now that spiral power is back on the menu, the spiral nemesis WILL happen, its literally just a question of how long it takes people to forget the dangers or for one group of assholes to escalate the situation.

Spiral Races love to fight. You are telling me that a full-on space war between two races with spiral power won't grow to dangerous levels in the arms race?

The same goes for the Quarians. This generation of Quarians made peace with the Geth. 900 years from now, that could easily change. 900 years sounds like a long time to you, its next week to a Reaper.

And so that's the inevitability of life, that it must end one way or another. Why the fuck did the Reapers or the race that create them think they had any right to change that? Also, predicting the evolutionary path of hundreds if not thousands of races and saying that they all will do the same thing is downright insulting and revolting. I know, it's their universe and they can establish any rules they want, but when you dish out all that lore about spaceships and stuff like that, such reasoning as "BECAUSE YES" is just sad and pathetic. Just like the whole ending.
