But ME3 completely fumbled the landing, which is why some people prefer the idea that the story ended with the first game.To break it down further, ME1 had an ending which was pure action movie gung ho heroism. "let's drive the car through the mass relay" was straight out of Fast and Furious XXXVII ...in Space. And fans of the first game were looking for something similar but bigger from the finale. Instead it took a lurch into a completely different genre - grimdark philosophical hard SF. Pretty much The War of the Worlds ...in Space.Then there is issue of the Reapers. In the first game they are presented as Cyber-Cthulhu (Picard says hi). Incomprehensibly alien. Then later games go on to explain them and make them comprehensible. Thus, they became diminished.</blockquote>
