The ending was poorly explained, full of plot holes, and character invalidation. Enough said moving on, next thread!
Honestly it's not whether or not he was using FTL flight that I care about. Fine you've made a good point, that's what he was using. It's the fact that he was fleeing the battle that bothers me. It really does not make sense why Joker would just abandon the fight.Bara_no_Hime said:Again, no. Relay jumps are instant. You don't "travel" through a Relay - you activate it and Boom, you are there in a second.Wakikifudge said:Final thing, Joker was not using the FTL drive, he was traveling through a Mass Relay. That is why they got stranded on a random planet. The mass relays were destroyed while they were traveling through one.
The "blue energy" is FTL drive. If you look out a window on the Normandy, you see it.
Now, it's possible that some sort of shockwave from the exploding Relay caught the Normandy while it was using FTL drive to go... somewhere. Where, I have no idea.
Every other picture of the ship in FTL or doing a Relay jump disagrees with what you said. Look at the footage again. That is clearly FTL, not a Relay jump. The shockwave is from the Relay (or the Citadel?) but Joker wasn't in a jump at the time.
It is POSSIBLE that every single ship in the fleet experienced a shockwave like that.
Again, this does not excuse the "squadmember teleporting to the ship" issue. But that whole "Joker wouldn't do that" is because he didn't.
Also, I'm not the only one to have noticed this - there are others (in this thread, see above) who have paid attention to the tech and realized that it was FTL flight, not a Relay Jump.
I am very active on Bioware forum. Angry Joe's video was made using arguments we provided on Bioware forums. All you have to do is go there and take a look for yourself.trooper6 said:Ah, I see...you don't actually have your own specific plot holes--you are just coasting off of Angry Joe's poorly put together video.
Paragon, means controlling the Reapers. The middle is synthesis, fusing both organics with synthetics, e.g. husks.Major_Tom said:Ha!Aerosteam 1908 said:I'm not even going to bother replying to you because of how stupid your post is... shit.Major_Tom said:You went for paragon?

But wait, didn't you say you liked the Indoctrination theory? Why is my post stupid then?
Both result in "indoctrination was successful", you are now a mindless slave controlled by the Harbinger, i.e. a husk.Aerosteam 1908 said:Paragon, means controlling the Reapers.

Well, he could be using FTL within the solar system. To do what... I have no idea.Wakikifudge said:Fine you've made a good point, that's what he was using. It's the fact that he was fleeing the battle that bothers me. It really does not make sense why Joker would just abandon the fight.
Now it is especially obvious that he is fleeing since I now know that he was using FTL. To crash land on an alien planet would mean that he had been fleeing for quite some time. It seems like he dropped Shepard off and then just fled.
There are just far too many nonsensical decisions in this ending. It is like someone who had not been paying any attention to the trilogy was hired to quickly read a brief plot summary of the last 2 games and then write the ending of the third.
You chose the Destroy option?iLazy said:Honestly, I didn't mind the ending either.
I just want closure. Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED??
Are the Geth dead? What about my team? What about Earth, and Thessia and Palaven? What the fuck happened??
I not happy with the ending because I don't know what has happened to everyone. I want to know if I have saved everyone, or basically fucked everyone over by picking the "Destroy the Reapers" option.
my guess?Zhukov said:How?
How does one come to like these things?
A husk is formed when water and trace materials are replaced with cybernetics, to be controlled by Harbinger is to be indoctrinated, not becoming a husk.Major_Tom said:Both result in "indoctrination was successful", you are now a mindless slave controlled by the Harbinger, i.e. a husk.Aerosteam 1908 said:Paragon, means controlling the Reapers.
