Today I will remind them.
or not.
What am I being reminded of? That mass effect is shit?
They made the right choice. Boss fights are too videogamey and are holding the industry back.

Do you think the writer who came up with that went home after work and actually felt like they did a good day's work? It'd honestly be more fulfilling to be a garbage man, because at least you're improving the world by removing garbage, instead of the opposite.
Making the Illusive Man and Cerberus your enemy at all in ME3 was such shit. An actual final boss fight wouldn't even begin to fix the game.

>make the whole premise of ME2 joining and possibly agreeing with Cerberus, even helping them out
>all that for literally nothing in ME3, turning TIM into a sunday morning cartoon villain

>>388903403
asian ninja boss fight is ok though
>>388901103
It's not just even the boss fight aspect, those indoctrination concepts look better than the final game

Not only that, but they go from a fringe, covert group with hundreds of scientists and spies to a group with seemingly tens of thousands of soldiers. They become a military power.

Them showing up in ME2 was dumb as fuck to begin with and I will never not be salty about it. People should've known once that shit, and ME2's general wet fart of a plot, came around how much of a dumpster fire ME3 was going to be story-wise. Cerberus was whatever the fuck the writers wanted them to be in every game, there's no real continuity there. ME2 could've remained exactly the same by making the Cerberus there some sort of black ops Alliance organization with a slightly racist/nationalistic bent rather than Cerberus from ME1. Then Cerberus sticks around as the extreme of that you can counter point with them while the Council's general ineptitude and impotence stands as the counterpoint to trying to build bridges with the aliens.
But no, suddenly Cerberus is just some sort of super-James Bond spy organization that is totally not evil guys please believe us we want to have a grey moral story here and Shepard sort of half-heartedly complains then just goes along with it.

one of the worst "flea from outer space" characters in video game history

Confronting the Illusive Man as a man and talking to him was way better than fighting some giant robot.
>>388901103
Honestly, of all the things ME3 did and didn't do, this is one thing I'm okay with. That particular enemy design could've been cool to fight somewhere else in the game, but it shouldn't have been the Illusive Man.
Personally, though, I think keeping Cerberus around after ME1 was a mistake for the reasons others have given in this thread.

would have been nice to have the option
