The Mass Effect 3 Ending (Spoiler)
This is such a weird folly of game writing that it deserves on its own blog post. Having played through the campaign first on easy then Insane just to see if the ending was different. No, it isn't any different and is still a confused mess of an ending. EA just tried too hard to imbue Shephard with a sense legendary stature. After saving the Galaxy for 3rd time you stand a half dead sad excuse of a protagonist. Your decisions: die and take control of the reapers or die and deactivate the reapers but with the knowledge that they will return with time. Either will leave you wondering what just happened. Your hours of being a bad ass mean nothing because some little ghostly squirt said so. Then go on to Normandy crash landing on what looks to be EA’s interpretation of Eden. Personally, my characters to emerge from the wreckage were Liara, Garrus, and Joker. Three different species (one of which only reproduces females) is all that is left. Failure of a conclusion leaves nothing but a bad taste.
