+MelodyMilan he is awesome in mimicry

I'm still surprised he hasn't done any official VO work.

5:27 10 years later and I still remember it haha

Not right now !

That is a damn good point.

I don't think it really mattered. You see the Citadel explode in the final cutscene anyway, so it was a choice between us seeing him die in that first explosion, or assuming he dies in the following Citadel explosion. Also, it makes it much better if you assume the unlimited ammo is just gameplay segregation. In universe, the gun didn't have unlimited ammo, we as players just couldn't be trusted with finite ammo in that situation.

6 years late but bio said somewhere that shep survives in the destroy ending

Obviously you don’t pay attention he would die anyways be he is part synthetic

... well

I know, it was just spot on.

I came here to say this. It's perfect.

ksdhfaklsdhfah adfadfasfdaf For a highly evolved race of space-robot-ship-things, that would just suck as motivation.

ksdhfaklsdhfah adfadfasfdaf They emphasize numerous times that they only get rid of sapient life, so sapient life doesn't create A.I that destroys all life. Don't say it makes sense, but it's not THAT stupid

And you prove them wrong anyway, if you manage to create peace between the Quarians and Geth.

Zero Cool Well, Just as idiotic as the reapers like the old galactic saying says: "Synthetics are like Creators"

great stories dont have fairy tale endings. All roads are flawed, all roads leave pain. Much like the decisions you make in life. There are no perfect solutions, only decisions that the bravest amongst us shoulder the burden of making, and, more so, live with the consequences. Most objectors hate the ending because they dont understand it so I will try to explain. The reapers represented the "ultimate solution" to humankinds salvation, To kill off advanced species before they could develop dangerous AI that surpassed reaper technology and wipe out all organics. (Effectively making the reapers the "shepards" of mankind, beautiful storytelling) For countless cycles, time after time, this has been the solution to keep the threat of universal destruction at bay. No organic has been able to best them since there inception, presumably billions of years in the making. Until now. for the first time, an organic, shepard, was able to best the reapers. The reapers, the "shepards" of the galaxy had been dethroned. No longer could they hold claim to the future of the galaxy. The decision for humanity's future now rests with commander shepard. Shepard has before him 1 of 3 paths. No path can be perfect, because humanity in and of itself is not perfect. One path may lead to the galaxy and beyond being destroyed while one may allow humanity to live in peace throughout time. It is impossible to know which path will lead to salvation or destruction. This is the ultimate ending. This is the ultimate choice that not only you as the player has made up to this point, but any being in the history of this fictional universe has made. This decision, and the consequences that follow, now belong to you. If you think the ending doesnt make sense because "everyone would starve", you're missing the bigger picture. This isnt about any crews you brought together, it's not about joker, liara or anyone on the Normandy. every choice, every sacrifice, you've made up until now has been to get shepard to this point. Those people you've met, the armys youve assembled all of it was to get you to this one point, this one decision. The entirety of everything in existence is at risk and you, the player, hold this decision in the palm of your hand. You wanted your decisions to hold weight? Bioware literally let you decide the fate of EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE.

From what I gathered, BioWare needed 3 years to develop Mass Effect 3, but EA gave them 2 years because EA needed the sales figures from Mass Effect 3 earlier.

Jack Madaj There's a reason why EA is consistently voted one of the worst companies in America year after year. In 2012 and 2013, it was voted THE worst company in America back to back.

don't blame it on ea. A non logical ending has nothing to do with EA. Its a writers fuckup and not a publishers.

Jack Madaj If that's the case then bioware should have stayed with the combat animation from me2. A proper dev would realize its priorities in a story driven rpg.

I always don't get the total hate of EA. Sure, they cut corners. Yeah, micro Transactions. Yes, they squeeze the life out of franchises. But Capcom is far, far worse when it comes to gaming politics. Loads of DLC (Disc Locked Content)? Check. Street Fighter IV? Check. Cancel 5 Mega-Man games? Check. Street Fighter IV Turbo? Check Ruin the Devil May Cry series? Check. Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition? Check. Ruin the resident Evil Series? Check. Super Street Fighter IV Ultimate? Check Even more DLC (Disc Locked Content)? Check. Marvel V. Capcom 3 (no Mega-Man: polotics)? Check. 'Ultimate' Marvel V. Capcom 3 less than a year later? Check Spelling errors and lazy box art (watermarks)? Check. Super Street Fighter IV Ultra Super Cool SlimJim Doritos Edition? Check. Tekken X Street Fighter DLC (Disc Locked Content)? Check. Don't take the effort to port great games? Check. At least with EA, you have a wealth of games to choose from: FPS games, Shooting games, horror games, racing games, fighting games, fantasy games, RPGs, Sci-Fi games, etc. With Capcom, if you don't particularly enjoy fighting games, then Capcom is not the company for you. Both companies release games that can be broken at times, but at least EA has the politeness to tell you you're going to get fucked over. Capcom just doesn't care about the millions of us that decry Disc Locked Content. Fuck Capcom.

+ Travis Mohan BEST ENDING EVER! but wait, let's make 16 different versions of that where there's a little dialogue here and there that's partaly different with 3 different endings that make boiware and ea feel the pain... MAKE THEM FEEL THE PAIN!

New Mass Effect "4" game announced... "ALT+F4" Star Child and I'll think about it. lol

+Sbroffotraz Lol why?The Leviathan DLC and extended cut effectively fixed the endings.

+Sbroffotraz At least you HAVE an ending. 8 years and still no Half Life 3 conclusion for me. But ya it still sucks

+Sbroffotraz The JAM mod for the ending saved it for me. That plus the mod that lets you play the Citadel DLC/Citadel party as an epilogue.

+Sbroffotraz -- Amen, and amen.

+Sbroffotraz An entire franchise and universe destroyed with a middle finger to the the fanbase. All in like 7 minutes.

Only now do I regret killing them.

Yo what if not killing them leads to a better ending? :0

you and me both

Then The Extended Cut DLC came out, and I agree with JeremyJahns I didn't get everything I wanted out of it, but it was enough to satisfy me. And didn't the actual ending they planned have to do with the over-usage of mass relays causing dark energy to go out of control destroying the whole space-time continuum? Which doesn't make much sense either, why would the reapers create the mass relays and then wipe out all these species for using them?

Again the ending and reason for the Reapers just doesn't make sense. You can even make a friendly alliance with the Geth and Quarians which totally contradicts the little boy saying machines will always revolt against their creators. I haven't played the DLC yet but that is because the ending ruined all motivation to play it again.

KevinKoolx Just watch the extended cut endings on youtube and/or Angry Joe and JermeyJahns's videos on the DLC, that's what I did before deciding I'd re-play Mass Effect 3.

SnakeEater866 That's partially true. It wouldn't have destroyed the space-time continuum, but the imbalance of dark energy caused by the use of Mass Effect technology would've caused all the stars in the galaxy to age a lot faster than they should have. Haestrom's sun in ME2 was actually supposed to foreshadow this plot point. Harbinger has a lot of little taunts and battle quotes that he says whenever you kill the Collector that he's "assuming direct control" of. One of them is something along the lines of "You cannot stop the great darkening" which was supposedly a reference to all the stars in the galaxy going out.

SnakeEater866 I'm personally convinced that even with the "dark energy" ending, the ending to Mass Effect 3 still would of been flat out silly (So... You guys created the Mass Relays and discovered that they have release Dark Energy that controls the Galaxy... Can't you just turn them off? Or destroy them yourself (since, logically, they would know how to safely deconstruct them...)? No... No, harvesting is the only way? ...Da fuck?) and the Indoctrination Theory still would of came about since it would sound like the Reapers were lying. The Reapers' motivation should of been left vague; Finding out the Reapers' motives, contrary to popular belief, was NEVER a goal. The goal was stop them. It adds more horror and dread if you don't know, exactly, why they do what they do... And for the love of god ANY kind of "noble" goal is just stupid.

This was one of his videos that got him that half a mil subs :)

I'm extremely proud of Jeremy being as popular as he is. He is entertaining to listen to. Congrats Jeremy!

***** he copied Angry Joe. But he is funnier :)

Alec jones How the FUCK did he copy Angry Joe?

@@BoleDaPole You buy movies and video games and books to be disappointed by them?

And now he's at 1.3 million... Doubled in 2 years, not bad given how high it was.

ins't this depressing? imagine if they got the ending right, if everyone like it, man i can see the spin offs that would have been made, one investigation/adventure game with garrus and liara maybe even with kaidan or ashley as protagonist(so you chose one of then to play, if you choose one the other is dead to the story line), a stealth with thane or kaidan as he is the commander of the biotics division the special force, or even a "beat then up" action on FP or TP telling random stories of jack, wrex, samara and grunt, after or before they meet shepard, would be awesome seeing than having badass moments against pirates mercenaries and cerberus, but we will never nothing of this because EA/biowere screw up the ending, they make a game that you see the ending and want to throw everything away

i was on a train the other day and overheard a bunch of guys talking about the me3 ending...one of them said "yea im pretty sure the amount of people who disliked the ending were a minority"...i had to say "sorry didnt help but over hear...but name another game where the fan base was so pissed of they had to add extra content to the ending so anybody even had a clue what was going on"

Jakeson prcek

I just barely finished the game a week ago and even with 2 years warning that the ending sucked I still was ill prepared for how horrible the ending is. It's just so bad when compared to how good the whole series was that you could never see it coming :(

PV Phoenix If you had all that warning, why didn't you download the free Extended Cut DLC that fixes the ending? That's what I did and I actually really enjoyed the ending as a result. I was never exposed to the rushed mess everybody got and hated.

+HeyTray1 definitely

Same. I've never seen this video before. I was curious after hearing about it on Collider.

+HeyTray1 i really want to see this special now. Were they talking about Mass Effect?

Personally I felt good laying my life for Joker in the sythesis ending. If my bro is happy I'm happy

Sebastian Joseph Well I got the good control ending, so it is better than destroy every synthetic, but Shepard sacrifices himself, and that's sad.

Sorry but I despise the Synthesis ending. The game was never about performing an act of galactic eugenics but rather about uniting a diverse galaxy against a common threat.

Synthesis came out of nowhere; sure the illusive man was trying to control them, but the entire time we were trying to destroy them. Plus I mean Shepard saving the geth and the quarians, and how Edi and legion develop as characters kinda give the middle finger to the dues ex machinas logic, and they die because of this kid. The control ending is interesting to me, destroy is what we were trying to do the entire time, and the way it was done was bullshit; the citadel DLC is the true ending to my story since this shit exists. I feel like when I shoot that conduit and die, my Shepard woke up next to Liara in bed at the end of the citadel DLC (Shepard was having nightmares the whole game).

I feel like its all an indoctrination trick, and the only way to stop the reapers for good is the destroy ending

word!!

Ultima IX suffered the same thing, EA went and changed everything.

"What's a PALADIN"?!?!?!?!

"I'm not entirely sure."

yeah....

I actually liked Dead Space 3 because the story was very well done.

Nerg man yes but ending was stupid...and it solved nothing at all...instead it was hinting a sequel...

Yeah true there seems to be a pattern with them not wanting to end their series.

Nerg man yes..and i actually i like to play a sequel but the thing is we should have some kind of conclusion before sequel..i mean what was the point of all that "destroy marker home" if it was for nothing....although i liked that twist in the end....:p lets see if dead space 4 comes out...lol

I know, I squee'd :)

Keilan Baine KOTR 2 made no damn sense.

It didn't. IT was a weird ass game

Keilan Baine Agree 100%

Hi joker, I am coming for you.

Keilan Baine they only released like half of KOTOR 2 there was a whole bunch more slated but they pushed it out way to fast

But the mass relays didn't get destroyed.

***** Not in the extended cut, but that's the only ending i ever experienced, so from my point of view, I like the ending.. (I did get the "perfect ending", though)

This doesn't make sense if you consider the DLCs that came out. Every DLC was pre-ending and had nothing to do with the ending itself except the Extended Cut which was free.

Control ending

+Sexual Potatoes My primary issue with it is how it's more of the "it was all a dream" type of ending. Which, in my opinion, is even worse.

It's not worse. Indoctrination is a mental attack on Shep by the Reapers. It's not a dream. The concept of indoctrination was set up in the first game and was a theme throughout all three games. So please, tell me how it's "worse?"

To be honest , ME3 builds up EVERYTHING that points to motherfucking INDOCRINATION . James hears the Hum , on the ending Shepard gets those dark things on the side of the screen , dreams with Ghostly Shadows all around . Oh man ...fuck Bioware up the butt , they fucked Dragon Age , now they fucked ME3 .....what a sin

Flopper Gamers It's a shame the lead writer and project director just locked themselves away from everyone else to get the ending out.

You know , if BioWare instead of rewriting the game because of the leaked plot before releasse , I think they would have done a better job at it

Mass effect 2, Reaper IFF code is used by Normandy to access omega relay.

It's funny cos mass effect andromeda is a thing XD

HOLY SHIT ITS A PSYCHIC!

they should of based the new mass effect on........the son/daughter of shepherd and whomever Your love interest was. so you could play as the son of shepherd and miranda or the daughter of shepherd and jack.

Hello, I'm from the future, they fcked it up too!!!

+Johnny Zhu The war assets were a shame. I thought they'd use them like they did the upgrades in ME2....but rather they just cheaped out. I mean you recruited different races, I can't believe that had nothing to do with the final battle. No different results depending on the groups you recruited, no seeing Rachni in the final battle. Nope we shipped off all those awesome races to build stuff...

me

Desmond Smith Never too late buddy, just did a full trilogy playthrough in just two months. One word: Amazing !!!!

I had time so I did that in one week. Talk about movie experience... (except for the fucking ending, at least the extended cut made it a bit more tolerable)

Who would have thought

That moment when you want to play the games but don’t cause your afraid of this bad ending.

If you're playing on PC, there's actually something called the Happy End Mod, in which you blow the Reapers and ONLY the Reapers up, you get your Shepard rescued and you get a bittersweet ending in which your Shep, badly wounded and all, is the one who has to place Andersson's plate on the Normandy Memorial Wall.

Silver Nightbane I heard of that mod, unfortunately I'm stuck with the console version.

I would have preferred that now looking at the mass effect 3 ending

1985 Charles Barkley I don't see what there is to comment on using "So". If they had more time they could have made it A LOT better

how is the afterlife Harbinger?

Commander Shepard *Reaper Scream* *Speaks very Loudly* Shepard... (You realize I am not dead? Techniqually YOU are :) ) I believe I should continue to harvest people who reply to me and others... By the way Shepard..Earth is a very nice planet, Well Was until My Fleets encountered it. Shepard? Your Relationship with (No Clue :P) Won't last for long be sure to check (Her) Him more often. Remember you are bacteria! End Communications...(Log Off)

Harbinger how would I be dead? I am clearly alive right now, by the way, were you trying to indoctrinate me, just wondering

Could also be a result of bullshit writing.

I heard there will be another mass effect but it will have nothing to do with Shepard.

..........leave.

You're over thinking it. I isn't some kind of philosophical ending. It was a lie and giant middle finger to fans. Thank god, or science if anyone gets butt hurt over the G word, they fixed the ending.

Please ignore the typo.

Never looked at it this way.. maybe (almost definitely) not how they intended it but a very good viewpoint nonetheless.

this was pretty much what i realized as i was playing the ending recently for the first time. In life, we have a shit ton of choices. but we cant really choose when to die. mass effect pretty much slapped us in the face with reality. like yeah you did this and that, but tbh guy, it doesnt matter. you really dont have a choice in how it plays out. granted, doesnt change the fact that 16 different endings should have been 16 DIFFERENT endings. a clear GOOD ending, maybe sheppard convinced the ai to work with him or something. unrealistic, but then again, being a pure paragon, with maximum survivors, and maximum war effort or w/e should convince "God" to help save us, where as my half assed, renegade for life,punch ppl in the face would have gotten the ending he deserved. shrugs. it took me weeks to accept that such a huge part of my life was over. i do think mass effect was the greatest trilogy ever. game movie whatever. it hurt to end..angry happy whatever. kudos

you're over thinking it a bit it was mostly just lazy writing.
