    The end of MASS EFFECT 3 constitutes what is perhaps the worst ending to a video game trilogy in history. OR DOES IT? The Mass Effect games cover intergalactic travel, dozens of alien species, and a synthetic race of world-ending machines. The only way Mass Effect 3’s ending can possibly fit with the series overall is if IT IS A LIE! However, this begs an important question: What exactly is this game’s deceit and what does it mean for Shepard and The Reapers? In this episode, I reveal the Truth behind what is actually going on in Mass Effect 3!

      @lizknives Před 5 lety +3

      Honestly? They could have squeezed in the ending by saying destroying the reapers ends the indoctrination and Shepard is alive. I’ll explain below.
      I watched AngryJoeShow talk about this theory but it’s an old 2012 video and he got to the point and said that everything was a hallucination (courtesy of the reapers) Shepard shooting Anderson was actually Shepard getting shot bc when Shep is sitting with Anderson, Shep is bleeding in the same spot where “Shepard” shot Anderson. Shep chooses destroy and the reapers are destroyed but Shep wouldn’t have survived the blow so why is that little clip of Shep (obviously being Shep) waking up in rubble even a thing? Well Shep was on Earth the whole time and not the citadel.
      But the only confusion here is how did Shepard destroy the reapers if Shep was only hallucinating all of it? Obviously nothing was solved if it was all in Sheps head. Joe even talked about it even said that Shep was covered in rubble and that the citadel shouldn’t be made of rubble like an earth building would but of special tech (I think is what he said). So my guess is that Shepard is just really, really lucky and survived that kind of blow, because it’s just SO CLEARLY OBVIOUS that that was Shepard waking up in the rubble. And considering Shep was brought up in Andromeda, it has to be the clear answer. Sorry this is super long. This theory is driving me crazy because of how accurate it is. Even the reapers are creeping me out.

    1) Watch Part 1.
    2) Find out at the end of the video that it's a two-parter.
    3) Wait a week or two.
    4) Check the uploads to see if Part 2 is out yet.
    5) Be disappointed that it's not out.
    6) Wait another week while frequently checking the uploads.
    7) Be disappointed that it's still not out.
    8) Go to Part 1's comment section and empathyze with all the complaints of Part 2 not being out yet.
    9) Forget about Part 2 for a while.

Mat and Steph did a Reddit meme review on GT Live, reacting to comments about the abundance of FNAF content with excuses about game releases being pushed back and having no new subject matter. Yet here we wait, patiently, hope slowly dwindling to despair. Have we been forgotten? Abandoned? Left to rot forever wondering what the conclusion may be? Will our wait be in vain? Will we ever be fulfilled? What has become of the world? Hopefully some giving soul will make a meme about how this has been neglected to call up the dredges of their memories of this theory to mind, then finally we may find answers.

    @marclupinaccijr3235 Před 3 lety +25

    So you missed the most important piece from the theory:
    Let's talk about the three endings, but we can boil it down really to two
    1) The reapers die
    2) The reapers live
    When you kill the reapers, they make it seem like the worst possible scenario because you destroy all the technology all the geth, but if you control or synthesize the reapers live and everything looks perfect.
    now in the two instances where you let the reapers live, if you look at shepherd's eyes you actually see indoctrination in his eyes, but whereas when you destroy the reapers you actually see his resolve strengthen, I don't remember if you hear the reaper rejection sound or not but his eyes never turn indoctrination color. And the arguably most important piece, where you kill the reapers that is the only instance where you actually see Shepherd wake up on Earth as if it was a dream and he still has to actually finish the fight

      In any case, it never matters what creators think their story is about. What matters is the meaning the story's consumers derive from it. If we want to believe the story is about indoctrination, and we can support that with what's in the story, then we're right.
      If the ending is about indoc, then the trilogy is a 15/10 masterpiece.
      If it's not, then the trilogy is a 6/10 hackjob.

The youth glances nervously out the window, making sure no bots are nearby. The youth can't afford to be apprehended by them again. The youth decides to watch the video.
    Images flash across the screen. Images detailing an entertainment simulation called Mass Effect. A voice comes on and begins to narrate a theory about the story of Mass Effect. At first the voice is mildly irritating, but in time the youth comes to find it endearing. The youth watches the video, enjoying what they are seeing. After 19 minutes and 54 seconds, the video comes to a close. The youth browses through other videos on the channel that provided the one they just finished watching.
    Confusion sets in, followed by frustration, and then anger. Where is part 2? The youth wonders. The low battery icon flashes, but still the youth searches. The sounds of laser fire echo outside the building. The bots have found the youth. Yet still, the youth searches. Where is part 2? A moment later, the screen goes dark. The battery is dead. The youth leaps to their feet, yelling at the machine. Where is part 2? The door is blown off its hinges, signaling that the bots have arrived. The youth takes no notice however, continuing to accost the machine. Where is part 2? The bots grab the youth, hauling the screaming child away. Over and over, the youth cries.

      They are survivors of a zombie attaxk and now they are force to live on an island with a active volcano, their overlords came with a "brilliant idea" and forced everyone to a type of sport or die, your character can do all of them so you are forced to every sport and when ever you get off, your character respawns, and when you get back on that means your have been revived to do your work

      The yellow maybe depends on what you're using though. It's not actually visually yellow, just yellow is a proxy colour chosen so you can distinguish between them. It's a key to the scale.

    The oily shadows thing you mentioned is hard to ignore, as well as the reference to the books with the reaper sound after the failure of indoctrination.

    • @davidmanning316
      @davidmanning316 Před 7 lety +2

      i had a theory that that was the case, except it applies to all of mass effect 3. i view it as shepard never made it back at the end of ME 2. examples of this are that most returning chars from ME2 are trying to fix what shepard believes are their biggest regret. morian fixing the genophage, tali taking her planet back, etc, and if you dont do 1 thing exactly, they die. its reacuring hope followed by demoralizing failure. it ties in with the ending. the illusion of choice, with a tiny window of success. its textbook torture which works and torture that doesnt. no choice, no hope, and someone with tell you the sky is green to make you stop. illusion of choice, hope and demoralization, and eventually, you will get accurate information.
      saren WAS someone who would die before helping the reapers, but he was given a false choice, which it seems he thinks was his idea, his realization, but it wasnt.
      the other point is that the cannon ending of 3, now that andromeda has come out is Liaras message, she was not there for the ending of me2

      I'm REEEEEAAAAALLY hoping he talks about the inconsistencies between Starkid's explanation of the Reapers and the original canon explanation of the Reapers as told by Sovereign. I don't get why people think that the Reapers being the "we destroy all life to save it" cliche is so much cooler than the infinitely scarier "we have no beginning" explanation. Is it so hard to believe there is a realm of existence so far beyond our own that living constructs beyond our understanding could have existed outside of the confines of the universe? I mean... it also makes sense considering that if you took every harvest (which are 50,000 years apart) and lined it up since the beginning of the universe (before any life existed on planets that had not yet existed because stars hadn't been formed yet), you would have around 700 Reapers instead of the THOUSANDS that supposedly "darken the sky of every world". Seriously. 700 Reapers.
      I don't even really care that the series had a 3-colored ending. What pisses me off is that Bioware and EA retcon-nuked possibly the greatest villains to ever exist--into a cliched sci. fi. motive as old as time--or... Isaac Asimov. Call me entitled, whiny, whatever you want: Of everything bad that's happened to this beautiful space opera adventure with enough lore to stand as a contender in the ranks of Star Wars and Star Trek, their treatment of the TERRIFYING Reaper lore is by and large the most offensive.

    🌟 *And mass effect 2 and 3 only existed in Shepherds head. Because in destroy ending Shepard wakes up from the rubble from the beginning of mass effect 2 when he "died"(coma).*
    Simply put, he beat the indoctrination journey in mass effect 2, and mass effect 3 and woke up in the rubble of the beginning of mass effect 2, Shepard still wearing his armour from the beginning of mass effect 2, and the dog tag. They don't show his face behind the the rubble because he's still wearing his helmet from space. A coma could last about an hour, but the events of ME 2and3 in his head lasted about a month or year depending on the time line; and at that time the alliance would have arrived to rescue because the escaping Normandy crew landed on the same planet in the life boats, alerted them.
    *Just like Matriarch Benezia, and Saren Arcturus, they resisted the indoctrination, but they was weak and died, however Shepard beat the indoctrination.*
    Shepards fight isn't over.

      Remember the beginning of 2 was when the Ryders set out on their journey from the moon. And by the time Shepard was "resurrected and woke up", it was how many years later.

    Still should have had an ending with substance. Indoctrination or not, the "endings" were just lazy for end of a trilogy of that scale.

    • @Parklout
      @Parklout Před 7 lety +9

      Well, yeah but it's known that the script for the original intentions around the ending were scrapped pretty late in development but I'm still curious as to how that would play out?
      I am (apparently) one of few who actually liked the ending of ME3 (though I might have started playing after the extended cut version).
      The endings left enough ambiguity for the player to determine what happens in detail from what we expect of the characters after getting to know everyone in our own ways.
      That makes our own stories that aren't wrong which is what I like about the Dark Souls lore, all the games are so deep yet vague enough for us to make up our own stories, explanations and theories that aren't wrong since there isn't proof of anything else.

    • @TheHolycupcake
      @TheHolycupcake Před 7 lety +4

      please dont defend 3 endings that where practically exactly the same, and in no way took into account any of the "important" choices you made during the 3 games(something that they promised). the only choice you have at the end of the game is "would you like a red, blue, or green explosion?"

      @USMC49er Před 7 lety +3

      The extended cut didn't really avoid the iceberg as it so much as added deck chairs to watch the catastrophe from a different angle. The problem with the ending wasn't that we didn't get to say final goodbyes and what not. The problem was that it defied the entire point of Mass Effect (stopping the Reapers from killing and enslaving us all) and rendered all the choices pointless by going along with their insane plan. Shephard is fully capable of using his words to resolve a centuries long conflict (Tunchanka and Rannoch) but can't even so much as say why the Star Child's plan makes no sense on the organics/geths point of view?
