Surly Reaper or EDI would come under Synthetic, i know reapers are 50/50, but Edi is definitly syntheticI'm not after EDI. That would be ntr-ing Joker, and bros don't do that shit to bros. Synthetic is either Geth or an EDI clone. Real men go above and beyond the call of pussy. I go Reaper. I am a real men.

Which one: Other?? (1 vote)I'll fucking scour the universe for some reaper pussy. If it's possible to make human reapers, it's possible to give them a robocunt. Even EDI had a pussy. Her camel toe is the most noticeable thing about her; you can't miss it.

Are we going to change the ending of the game? No.You know, if you look at the Normandy SR-2 from a top-down perspective real careful-like, it'll resemble a middle finger.
Mah nigga Erik Kain strikes again: Six Reasons Why Changing The Mass Effect 3 Ending Won't Threaten Its 'Artistic Integrity'. Number 1 is especially important to note.

ign's "expert" analyst
First, he's saying BioWare should keep the original ending out of artistic integrity. Then he defends EA's business plans with the DLC? Does Colin not realize that Art =/= Business? You can't have it both ways, so choose a side and stick with it.
Also, that guy reaks of pretension.
Mah nigga Erik Kain mentioned him in an article.

Here’s Colin Moriarty two years ago, discussing changes made by studio Sucker Punch to their game Infamous 2, after the release was met with fan backlash: "Obviously, the fact that Cole has been reverted back to his old self (somewhat) is great news. After all, Greg and I did our fair share of whining on Podcast Beyond after the new Cole was first shown on the cover of Game Informer some months back. Of course, I’d love for Sucker Punch to bring back Cole’s old voice, too, but hey – beggars can’t be choosers.
But beyond (BEYOND!) the excitement I feel to have old Cole back in Infamous 2, I think the sudden change in character model says a lot more. Indeed, it says a great deal about Sucker Punch itself. This is a studio that listens to its fans, cares what they want, and attempts to cater to as many of them as possible. There’s no doubt that fans of a franchise can’t be trusted with every little thing (after all, look at how many people were completely and utterly wrong when they predicted Wind Waker would suck based solely on its graphics – I still laugh at those people today), but it still delivers a rather important point.
But with the new Cole design, Sucker Punch heard loud and clear what fans of Infamous wanted, and they delivered. Infinite amounts of kudos to them for doing right by their community. Fans of Infamous won’t soon forget it. Sucker Punch is one of Sony’s most valuable developers. They are tuned-in with the PS3 faithful, and it’s things like this that prove it."
I'm actually grateful he made a video about it, because I probably wouldn't have heard about this magnificent piece of work otherwise. "A Logical Breakdown of Why the Mass Effect 3 Ending Makes No Sense"; if this document was represented by an in-game character, I'd romance the shit out of it. It's just too tedious trying to remember all the reasons the ending was shit when trying to argue that it's shit.
I have a minor criticism, though:
I don't think there needs to be a precedent. It seems like in that moment we were supposed to be shocked and/or in awe of the extent of the power of the Reapers.
Or it could be Reaper space magic. TIM makes a gesture with his hand to show that he's doing something that involves Reaper indoctrination, as evidenced by the black tentacle shit on the screen.
We accept that a big spike can turn an organic into a husk (with tubes going through its orifices and all that); that's fucking space magic. Within limits, space magic is acceptable in sci-fi, where shit can be too advanced for us to comprehend or defy our current understanding of the universe (e.g., FTL travel or quantum entanglement holographic communication).
It reminds me of the conspiracy theorist mentality: find pattern -> make conclusion -> desperately look for any evidence to support conclusion (with lots of retrofitting).
I agree with the idea that this all just boils down to either epic storytelling or an epic fail. Personally, I'm leaning toward the latter, because Dragon Age 2.

The Illusive Man is obviously indoctrinated himself - but there is no precedent for one indoctrination victim channelling the influence of the Reapers and commanding the body of another indoctrinated person.I don't think there needs to be a precedent. It seems like in that moment we were supposed to be shocked and/or in awe of the extent of the power of the Reapers.
This is not possible and makes no sense unless The Illusive Man has some sort of control chip in Anderson's body, which he doesn't, or if the Anderson seen struggling here is actually a representation of Shepard’s psyche struggling against indoctrination.

In other news, looks like they are finally doing something about the ending. The only question now is what exactly are they going to do...My nigga Erik Kain takes a look at Muzyka's statements. He became mah nigga after writing on the recent entitlement accusations.

Yes, the Godkid's logic was totally wrong, but to me, it was a programming constraint. I mean, it had to be some sort of VI or AI itself, no? It cannot and will not think of truly novel ideas until it is fed to it, possibly even hard-wired, as the choices were via the Crucible."Ohai, Shepard. By existing in front of me, you gave me the totally cool and new idea that my solution will no longer work. I heard there was peace between organics and synthetics. Is that true? You won't tell? That could give me another new idea, you know. Oh well, have fun killing yourself."
Shepard is clearly an AI whose programming constraints kept him from calling bullshit. We'll call it the Shepbot theory. (Bitches don't know 'bout his dick's vibration function.)

It tells you to choose between 3 sucky choices because it is not programmed to know anything else.But that's not what Godkid was programmed to do
It wasn't bad writing, it was "programming constraints." Funny.
How do you know that? Did Mac "The Hack" Walters tell you something about his deus ex machina that no one else knows?
Nekohime wrote...
even EDI and the Geth are bound by their programming constraints.Being an AI (assuming he is one) doesn't mean he's on an equal level to EDI or the Geth.
Reapers: advanced as fuck and responsible for the Mass Relays; puny organic minds get indoctrinated trying to contemplate how they work. (Some have only just figured out magnets.)
EDI & Geth: AI made by primitive organics.
Hardly equivalent.
The answer is right in front of you: Mac "The Hack" Walters fucked up when he was writing this bullshit.

Sorry hime, but I can't stand it. I hate seeing my favorite video game series ever end horribly, so I can't help but be upset, even if it makes me look like I'm nerd raging.
Dat feel when someone says they actually liked the ending. Yesterday, at my friend's house, I saw that his brother bought the PC version of ME3. As he passed by me, I asked him if he finished the game, anticipating rage. He mentioned that the deus ex machina pissed him off, but the ending itself was all right. After laughing at him for giving money to BiowEAr—considering Bioware's douchebaggery related to ME3—I gave him a response equivalent to "nigga, please."
Since he didn't stick around, some trolling was in order: I took his rubik's cube, made one side have columns of red, green and blue, then set it on top of a piece of paper (sticking out of the ME3 case) that said, "pick your favorite color." (The cube was sitting on the phrase "ME3 in a nutshell.") I didn't see his reaction, but I think his jimmies were rustled.

That mostly covers everything.
Here's a comprehensive list of quotes from the devs before release. I suggest playing this in the background while reading. (It auto repeats.)

That's all just speculationLots of it. From everyone. Lots.

indoc. theoryI refer you to this post. If they release an indoctrination ending, it'll be because they were pressured to; it sure is better than any space magic ending.
I won't endorse BF3, but MW3 is a casual's shooter. At least BF3's weapons have recoil and some goddamn dakka dakka to them. In MW3, I've seen my friend running around sniping people with his assault rifle on full auto. Even Killzone 3 gives me a better FPS experience than the "ultra popular" MW3.
Pointless thread, but it gives me an excuse to shit on MW3.
