I played the Red version of Pokemon. I remember when I first played that game, I thought Charmeleon's name was pronounced "Char-melon"
...Oh wait we're talking about Mass Effect 3?
I chose the Destroy ending for my character. At the time I figured it was safer to kill the Reapers then risk them breaking out of my control. For my second character I chose Synthesis.

It really wasn't that hard to get 100% paragon. I had 100% few missions before the Thessia mission, which is still a little ways away from the end.Tono Makt said:
This and I sacrificed so many other lives to ensure that the galaxy was safe from the reapers for ever. I sacrificed those krogan, and at the time Grunt, to save the rachni queen. Those Asari so I could get to that temple, The Fifth Fleet to save the council, hell I even planned to sacrificed ever person on that combined fleet to distract the Reapers until I could get to the citadel.Eddie the head said:
So why was sacrificing the Geth suddenly crossing the line?
See, this is exactly the kind of attitude I'm talking about. Character with a different shirt being the same as whether or not the Earth is completely destroyed or saved? How can you honestly tell me that's almost exactly the same? Something different happens, depending on what you choose to do and depending on what you've chosen to do during the game and you tell me there's not a difference? I get that people are upset over the ending and they have every right to hold that opinion, but blatanly stating things that aren't true, so that it suits their view of the ending, seems a bit weird to me.Aprilgold said:

Green, because i realised that i was not going to get anything remotely close to a satisfying ending and that was the one that required the least effort.
And here I was thinking this would be a reference to The Secret World. Nope, more Mass Effect. Time to go back to sleep.
Red.
My FemShep wasn't around to metaphorically enter a state of higher existence thus merging all organic life with little nanomachines that give you green eyes and glowing skin. Nor was she there to play babysitter and tell the Reapers that they all need to play nice and share their jawbreakers. My FemShep was there to wreck Reaper shit and that's exactly what the fuck she did: wrecked Reaper shit.

I INITIALLY thought that Red was the Paragon ending, with that vision of Anderson shooting that generator thing, but apparently I was wrong... for some reason. It was difficult, because...
I knew the Geth would die, so I muttered "I'm so sorry, Legion," before shooting it.
Green, because my mind shut down and I was just kind of doing that part of the ending on autopilot with little thought.
The beam looked so enticing...
Next time I'm going blue, because red would make me the biggest hypocrite in the world. I fought hard for peace between the Geth and the Quarians. I'm not gonna be the one pulling the trigger on that newfound relationship.
Plus, you put Starchild out of his job with every path, so does it really matter?

And if I actually become the boss and/or collective consciousness of the Reapers, then how hard would it be to use their l33t DNA-splicing skillz to make and subsequently assume control of a Shepard 3.0?
Moreover, it's the only ending where the Citadel remains intact. The Citadel has always been a very good representation of neutral ground for the galactic races, and it might have clues towards developing another mass relay network. Plus, weren't there, you know, people that live there? That's an important detail; I don't want to turn the neighborhood into a self-destructing superweapon again.
I'm not that evil.
All in all: I befriended the Turians. I befriended the Krogan. I got them to befriend each other. I got the Salarians on my side in spite of that. I got the Quarians and the Geth to play nice. Allied Rachni engineers and the remnants of the Batarian Hegemony are the icing on the cake. I've done every brand of impossible in everyone's books. Who's to say I can't end the war by doing the same to the Reapers?
No more reaping here. I think I'll have them take up the role of... a collective of galactic guardians. Guides. Assistants. Providers. Turn them into shepherds, if you will.

I went with red because that's what Shepard and Anderson were going for from the very beginning.
Sure, EDI and the Geth were sacrificed (apparently they were but I didn't see either of them 'die' or shut down or whatever) but I didn't want to see the Reapers get to just fly away based on the other choices. Plus, I'm a believer of the indoctrination theory so I'm glad I chose red with it supposedly being Shepard successfully fighting off Reaper control.
Stop. With. The. Mass. Effect. Three. Threads. Please.
OT: I picked red, because it's really the best. You survive with enough EMS and all the reapers and geth are destroyed. Perfect ending IMO.

I went with the synthesis ending. At the time I didn't see anything inherently wrong with merging synthetics and organics, after all, Shepherd is already basically a cyborg and it's worked pretty well so far. My only real misgiving was how in the HELL that whole thing is supposed to work "Merge synthetics and organics to create a new DNA?" how exactly does the giant green laser DO that? Also, at that level isn't organic material nearly indistinguishable from inorganic material and AAAAARRRGGGHH!!! In hindsight, a lot of people have pointed out that I'm imposing a radical change on everyone in existence against their will, which is pretty fucked up when you think about it, but honestly the thought never occurred to me, so I guess that makes me a fascist. Great, now all organic life can fuse with their cell phones.
In subsequent playthroughs, I went for red. At first I was afraid to pick that option because the line between what the magic red beam would and wouldn't kill seemed vague, and I was afraid that it might kill all the quarians who had integrated Geth programs into their suits and I didn't want to hurt Tali.

Red, because FUCK YEAH Charizard! My friend chose blue and I was like "Dude Blastoise is lame even with cannons on his back."
