I’ve been in a haze all weekend, courtesy of the double whammy of Daylight Savings kicking in and the end of Mass Effect 3 upsetting me.
The more I think about that ending, the more upset I get, mainly because it ruins what was an incredible trilogy. I wasn’t expecting a happy ending by any means, but I wasn’t expecting a stupid one, either. It makes no sense on so many levels, it leaves many unanswered questions, it provides no closure for so many characters, and it pretty much kills the IP. I can’t see how you can continue the Mass Effect saga after that, and I have no interest in any kind of prequel because I know that it makes no difference in the end.
Bittersweet would have been appropriate. Tragic, even more so. The only choice being what color the explosion you get? I want to slap whoever thought that was a good idea.
