Raziel Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 The supporting arguments for Destroy is it being the default and only ending available no matter what. Also explains why the check in beacons from Andromeda never got answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Well folks also use the fact that a Mass Relay is being fixed in the ME4 trailer Not to mention Bioware ALWAYS used the bleakest ending possible as the ending you get if you don't import a save (like the council dies in ME1, there is no Legion in ME3, etc...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it? 4 hours ago, RIPPA said: Yeah - I gotta stop reading shit since realizing that Destroy is all but confirmed as the cannon ending is making me sad I keep hoping they only do a partial Destroy.

It is nothing more organized that the idea that they would most likely be aware of the arks and know that species from our galaxy have expanded to other ones. (It it noted that the Quarian Ark basically left as the Reapers began their invasion. Or since the Leviathan was already observing all the species - they had a thrall of some sorts on one of the Arks) The other most common idea - which also would make people the angriest I think - is that it will be the Kett since they are now aware of our Galaxy and they want revenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I'm the opposite. Linking shit back to the Reapers and Leviathans would be fucking moronic and uncreative as fuck. Their story is done. I fucking hated the idea I recently saw that one developer had with the Reapers following to Andromeda for the Quarian ark dlc. It misses the points of the trilogy and Andromeda. The Reapers don't give a shit about other galaxies. Their focus was basically the experiment being run on ours while Andromeda was about somewhat fresh start. I liked the idea of Kett. After what we had in the trilogy in the Reapers it just makes far more sense to deal with an enemy more on a human level, mentality and emotional wise.

odessasteps Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I’d rather have a prequel, with or without Shepard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 With what we know it just doesn't feel like there is terribly interesting ground to cover with a prequel, at least game wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The reason why they made Andromeda is because they were adamant that the Trilogy was over, and so the option of a direct sequel was off the table. So it had to be either a prequel, or a side-quel, and they didn't really see anything dramatically interesting in the First Contact War or anything.

Craig H Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 ME3 continues to annoy me in ways the first two didn't. System exploration and scanning is so much more frustrating. Every time I do a scan fucking Reapers come out. I also don't like pinging around a system to find something to explore. It felt more satisfying to go to a planet and scan in it, but maybe I'm weird. Combat also feels pretty easy. Charge in shotgun shit, charge again, charge again. There are some other systems I do like though. I like the galaxy preparedness and war effort stuff. It feels like there is a greater variety of weapons again. 1 just threw a bunch of garbage at you and 2 stripped things down so much that you'd only have 4 different shotguns or pistols to use. And I like there being mods for that stuff again. It's all a very mixed bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 ME3's combat suffers from it being built to scale with someone playing from scratch. Bringing in a fully Lvl 30 character from ME2 breaks the game in the player's favor as the enemy scaling wasn't built to handle the passive bonuses early-mid game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Folks are working themselves into a shoot over the "fact" that EA/Bioware will be using the Unreal Engine instead of Frostbite for ME4 This is all based on a job posting where EA/Bioware is looking a technical director "with experience using the Unreal Engine" It is gonna be a long five years... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Um, this far in the dev cycle, if they're just looking for an Unreal dev *now*, it's absolutely not for ME4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Lair of the Shadow Broker is done. Even though I've not recruited the full squad yet, or done any loyalty missions (I'm about to start Miranda's). Annoying that you can't properly re-romance Liara, so to get the committed relationship trophy, you have to (to all intents and purposes) cheat on her.

Eivion Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Picked up the Legendary Edition towards the end of September and finally started playing earlier in the week. The combat feels faster than before. Driving the mako is still a somewhat amusing pain in the ass. Maybe I'm stronger than I was last time around, but Thresher fights feel a bit easier this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 https://www.gamingbible.co.uk/news/mass-effect-original-ending-sounds-more-interesting-than-what-we-got-20211022 Spoiler The issues that fans had with the ending of Mass Effect 3 weren’t confined to the narrative implications. Most felt that the final mission didn’t create the level of urgency and that this is the last chance that organic life would have against the infinite cycle of destruction. Of course, the Legendary Edition doesn’t veer from the original ending, but this interview with former BioWare animation director Dave Wilkinson sheds a little light on what could have been. "At that point, Shepard was so augmented with like electronic bits and all the rest of this sh*t," said Wilkinson, explaining that Shepard would have plugged themself into the Citadel itself. "Within a virtual world he has a conversation with what was described as a god of the Reapers. I think it was a queen? And he had this conversation with the queen, and the queen basically said, ‘the way the Reapers keep going, this isn’t sustainable, blah blah blah blah blah blah, we have to evolve, but we’re incapable of evolution because of the limitations of our AI and stuff like that.’” The progressive motivations of this Reaper Queen caused the other Reapers to imprison her to prevent her ideology from contaminating the rest of the race. “So, then the conversation was really like her going, ‘This is the chance to evolve everything, we can move everything forward,’” continued Wilkinson. The player then had three choices to decide the fate of all organic and synthetic life in the galaxy. The Renegade option saw Shepard rip themselves out of the Citadel, thereby disrupting its operations and triggering an explosion that destroys Earth as well as the Reapers. Organic life continues without the interference of the machine race. The Paragon option led Shepard to become the “Reaper King” and direct the Reapers to a better purpose in the Milky Way. Then the Synthesis option would have seen the bodies of both Shepard and the Reaper Queen fuse to become the “best” of both. As a result, the “space magic” would have changed all organic and synthetic life to reflect each other. I'm not sure if this is new news or old news or what, but there you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Honestly, that ending doesn't sound better, just slightly different. It is interesting how they seemingly wanted Shepard fucked no matter what. I'm at Ilos now. I somehow locked myself into a romance with Kaiden. It made me want to leave him to die so badly, but I already did that in my original playthrough so I wanted to change things up a tad this time.

Yeah, I'm right there with you on that, even though the Shepard blows up Earth thing is pretty dang close to my original expectation of how things would go when I played it the first time.

RIPPA Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 I still don't fucking understand how "control" is considered, in Bioware's mind, is considered a Paragon choice. That pisses me off more than anything the actual ending did 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
