The original ending was a very “that’s it?” moment.

The actually added a new game-over condition, by allowing you to just shoot the annoying reaper child, to quell the frustrations people felt.

Even in the remaster is still feels like a choice between red, blue, or green color endings.

RIP Marauder Shields, the true final boss of ME3 🙏

That, to me, is the real tragedy of Mass Effect, looking back through this new lens. BioWare seems to have borrowed many concepts from Revelation Space, but very little of it is explored with any depth, and none of the ideas are given new twists that improve upon them.

Damn, didn’t expect a thoughtful analysis of Revelation Space and its impact on Mass Effect.

But since Mass Effect avoided most of the extra weird stuff, the ending of Mass Effect 3 never really had a chance to be good.

Ahh, can’t talk about ME without addressing the ~~elephant in the room~~ the controversial ending.

Good read 👍

They calling me: I sleep (it goes to sms because I never setup voicemail)

I must call them: Real shit

As one who played every Dragon Age game, this expresses much of how I feel as well.

After such a long wait I wanted another Origins or Inquisition, but I got something else and it was a fine, forgettable, C+ entry. A game that wants you to wave a giant foam finger instead have thoughtful choices, but at least it delivered an ending.

Federation outsiders serving a gleaming resort planet find out their day-to-day exploits are being broadcast to the entire quadran

Ok not bad, Acapulco is a funny show about working in a resort so I can sorta imagine it in space. Not as sure about the Punkd angle, but I’m remaining optimistic.

Do you hear the cry of the rope calling you to jump, calling you to glory like a Klingon?

Starfleet going around to other worlds to fix and moralize about other peoples’ problems, but never needing to self-reflect or improve on themselves.

There are a few PTSD episodes that at least try : Picard at the chateau and Archer on shore leave after the Xindi adventure.

I feel these are the best episodes where a character realizes they have changed and not for the better, but I wish there were more.

Maybe trek is sleeping on the post-adventure recontextualization power of a shore leave coda?
