Green, Red, or Blue?

[Eamar]

Red. I hated the consequences, but green was ridiculous, and in any case I have NO right to do that to everyone in the galaxy without their consent, and as for blue... as if I'm about to do what I've been trying to stop others doing throughout the series because godkid says I'm a "special case"... pull the other one.

Of course, in my canon ending (the ending I made up after I chose to pretend the ending didn't happen) I told the kid where to go and went off to find another solution not on the Reapers' terms.

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

Also, I hated the Star Child
I'm sorry, EDI, but it had to be red.

So you tried to shoot him too huh?

 

[ZeroDotZero]

I waited twenty minutes and then the crucible was destroyed. The reapers won the war and continued to destroy all organic life. The cycle continues.

 

[wolf thing]

red all the way because iw anted to get rid of the reapers, doing the cythasis was evil, combine all life in to one weird robot thing is fuck uyp and went against the themes of the games.

 

[Major_Tom]

Red, but on my next playthrough I'm just going to let Marauder Shields shoot me.

 

[Zeraki]

I picked green... Then I took Pristiq.


Destroy just felt wrong... especially since I had brokered peace between the Quarians and the Geth. Using destroy would be committing genocide on the Geth, and in the process destroy everything Legion had sacrificed himself for.

I can't even begin to say how much I wanted to throw Little MacGuffin's stupid logic back in his face by having already proven him wrong. There should have been a "resist" option, because my Shepard wouldn't just lie down and accept that without trying to find another way. I always played my Shepard as a ridiculously stubborn peacemaker, who wouldn't give up fighting even if he was reduced to a greasy red smear on the ground.

I spent a few minutes shooting the translucent little gnat in the head before I chose what I thought was the lesser of three evils at the time.

 

[Aarowbeatsdragon]

What color did you chose?

Red, because I couldn't get green, because I don't have an Xbox Gold account and bEAware appear to have lied by saying you don't need to play multiplayer to get the best endings.

Well, the "best" ending. The best colour filter.

I got green without touching the online

OT: i chose green, felt the best choice

 

[spartandude]

there was a difference?

 

[Jodah]

If it is the true ending I chose green. I just couldn't screw over Legion and Edi/Joker, not to mention everyone who relies on tech to live (quarians, volus, etc). I do have a red save though.

 

[Sirron Kcuch]

Fire red was one of the best Pokémon games.

 

[kasperbbs]

First i picked synthesis(forgot the color..), then i thought "this kinda sucks" and picked the red one, shut off the game and went for a smoke to calm my rage.

 

[MHR]

I chose control. It's the best option if you actually think about it. Say you wanted to destroy the reapers but don't want to dry all those nice geths and send everyone back to the stoneage...

Control the reapers, and if you think reaper tech is naughty what the hell is to stop you from steering all the reapers into the nearest sun? shazaam, reapers destroyed, no collateral damage. durr

 

[lacktheknack]

Yellow, because GREEN IS NOT A GORRAM PRIMARY COLOR.

Also, I'm not playing Mass Effect 3 unless I can get an "INCLUDES ALL THE THINGS" battle chest or something.

 

[FrostyChick]

Octarine. Because visible non-fictional colours are way too mainstream for me.

On a serious note, I never played Mass Effect 3. But I'd probably go with green, as that sounds like the most logical and least stupid choice.
If it had been me on the platform with the Starchild, I'd have told it to go and fuck itself and let the cycle continue. I'd probably also unleash a litany of insults at the god child about how monumentally stupid the whole cycle is and how batshit crazy it would have to be to think its solutions could help anyone. I'd also call its mother a cheap whore.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

Brown. Because all the other M&Ms are hipster douchebags.

 

[Matt King]

red because i follow the indoctrination theory and that little bastard star child (and the real kid who i had been shouting obscenities at the whole game) are not getting my mind

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Well, I haven't played any Mass Effect game and I probably never will unless EA gives up on Origin and goes back to Steam.
Or the MAss Effect franchise gets sold to a publisher who does release it on Steam.
Anyway, when I saw the title, I thought it would be for which colour I prefer.
And that would be red.
Especially if it involves lightsabers.

 

[darkfox85]

I rolled with it. I listened to the star baby catalyst satan child thing. I was wondering where they were going with all this.

I chose green because it was stupid and made the least sense (and that reasoning seemed so appealing at the time.) Blue didn?t seem like such a bad idea, but I hated the idea of red. A new AI would eventually arise and although the reapers would be stopped in the present, the cycle would continue ? eventually, and the whole mission would mean nothing apart from sending all galactic life back a few epochs (roughly 50,000 years? Maybe less?) So red definitely seemed like the worse possible option, but on reflection I?m not sure at that point I was even paying attention to the other options and how to get them.

After the beam of green, a lot of shit went down and none of it made much sense (so I got what I chose I guess.) I do remember thinking that at least this would be good news for Joker and EDI who?re now more ?compatible,? but then... I just sat through the credits; the sheer enormity of the jarring stupidity sinking in bit by bit. Even so, the indoctrination theory is nonsense as far as I'm concerned.

But to be fair, I?m really feeling bad for the people who haven?t played the Mass Effect games who must be so tired of these threads with the knowledge that this will continue for a good while yet. Maybe it?s them who should ?hold the line.?

 

[Tono Makt]

All of them. I reloaded and did each of them, since you know, as nearly a 100% Paragon Shep, I could.

 

[Smeggs]

Red.

I'd come too far to grow a conscience about destroying some fucking robots, even if Legion had still been alive, I'd have sacraficed him in a moment to ensure the Reapers were crushed.

I like to think that our predecessors would learn from our decisions and not be idiotic enough to create fucking Skynet.

Also, of the three, Red is the only one which made true sense. When the other two options are "SPACE MAGIC" and leaving an army of super-powerful giant Robot Cuttlefish floating in dark space, I choose to be on the safe side and totally wipe them out.
