Yeah, the fact that you can't bring up the peace between the Geth/Quarians, and your own relationship with EDI really pisses me the fuck off. Also, I still think this whole "inevitable clash" between synthetic and biological life is stupid as hell. To me that's like saying, children will always have conflict with their parents, and so we must thus destroy them all. Like, what?
I think that's why I can't take this game's end seriously at all. The very premise of what motivates this cycle just is ridiculous to me, and I can't even pretend it's reality.
I actually don't like the reject ending, because they did it AFTER the fact. Like someone else said, if this was included originally, it wouldn't carry the sense it does now that the Bioware writers are just saying Eff You and your refusal to pick our beautiful choices.
I like that Synthesis sounds creepy, but I don't like the sound of it being the ending that perhaps the game thinks is the good choice. I don't know much about the control end, but that's cool that it's creepy/disturbing.
ugh, I don't know. I just think this stupid synethetics/biological life makes no sense. I can't.
I think why I can accept/swallow it is I think that there's no necessary truth to what the Catalyst says other than the Catalyst makes the cycle a self-fulfilling prophecy. (For me, I don't think the ending says he's right; and the expansion material highly suggests that he's an AI gone crazy/rogue/off the warpath with his mission.) It always "harvests" races before the conflict can happen. So there's never any chance for the races to prove him wrong. (At which point Shepard should be like DUDE but... yeah, I am still annoyed about that). I think that's why the Destroy and/or the Refuse/Reject options are the ones that are right. Shepard proves he's wrong in both of them. There was no need to turn people into some freakish hybrid just to make them get along.
I totally understand why people are pissed about the reject ending timing and while there's a probable element of eff you I do think that they still, with the Liara scene, make it a valid, actually kind of nice ending. My biggest reason why I think it feels trolly is because you're stuck just standing there, because otherwise it's actually pretty good--like Shepard's defiant speech is really what I wanted to see her do. So I guess in the end, no matter whether they had some PA going on there or not, they made it enough of a real ending that I'm sort of whatever, even if they are that petty I don't care.
Control is really creepy. I loved that about it. And Jennifer Hale did awesome voice over. She did an awesome job in everything though. As usual. <3 <3 <3 <3
