The whole thing was pretty disheartening, even after they threw us this bone. But empathy they certainly don't have.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009433185355976238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195137247359978282.post-34702887453621420762012-07-12T08:59:23.697-05:002012-07-12T08:59:23.697-05:00Agreed.

I also find it interesting (but gratifying) that you agree that it feels like the Synthesis ending is possibly going to be the 'cannon' one (it will be interesting to see where they go with future ME games, if there are more). <br /><br />D20 - I agree that the whole idea of Synthesis just came out of nowhere, and just sort of feels like an odd fit.Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195137247359978282.post-25880510525249895082012-07-12T07:51:03.480-05:002012-07-12T07:51:03.480-05:00I definitely feel like synthesis is the one toted ...I definitely feel like synthesis is the one toted as the "best" ending. If there had been some more foreshadowing in the game, maybe it could've worked, but I'm afraid they didn't build it up enough so most people seem to go with control or destroy. Also, synthesis is doing something in the universe that we didn't know could happen, so kind of believing it is hard to do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147206016242798126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195137247359978282.post-83812346778360097322012-07-12T06:40:03.140-05:002012-07-12T06:40:03.140-05:00The seldom seen boyfriend Mystic is going to chime...The seldom seen boyfriend Mystic is going to chime in here. Synthesis I feel is the developers choice as the entire game is about the symbiosis of the different species. The Krogan helping the Turians, the Salrians helping the Krogan (okay, mostly), the Geth and Quarian conflict getting resolved, so the Synthesis ending being what it is, a merging of two distinct types of life into one, fits with the theme of the game.<br /><br />Honestly, I would have been fine with the endings as they were if not for the out of left field feel and the lack of epilogue. I will have to deal with the out of nowhere feeling, but at least there is an epilogue now.Mystichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420295880131576243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195137247359978282.post-37710755202018391182012-07-11T13:29:48.181-05:002012-07-11T13:29:48.181-05:00Overall I didn't outright HATE the original en...Overall I didn't outright HATE the original endings, but they were sorely lacking and for me the extended cut really helped with that. I thought the most interesting change, was how the 'control' option in particular took on a whole new feel now in my mind. <br /><br />I agree that something about the synthesis ending just doesn't work for me, which is odd because I SORT of feel like that is the ending the devs were leaning toward themselves. I have heard a few other people say the same thing - what are your thoughts on that?Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.com
