    But Illusive Man responded ''No Shepard, you are the Reapers.'' And then Shepard was a reaper.

    At least it has some kind of logic even if it is retarded. Replace "genetic diversity" with "humans are the only successful race in the galaxy by a wide margin" and it makes some sense:

    ME1: Reapers coming back to kill everything as normal. Get beaten by Humans, realize humans might help them.
    ME2: Make Human reaper to save the galaxy?
    ME3: Human reaper died so try again but with more dakka?

    It's still retarded, but decent for BioWare. But there's still the problem how humans could possibly help them. Or how they could collect enough humans in the terminus system for a Reaper.

    The whole concept is completly retarded, treating genetic diversity like gaia's power or some bullshit like that. And with the tech at their disposal they could get all the diversity they need in a lab...

    Shit, I promised to myself to not bring logic to bioware games...

    So after all the dark energy foreshadowing in ME2 they're just gonna drop it? Did even plan the whole trilogy thing more than just writing down "reapers want to kill everything, Shepard finally stops them in ME3". I mean honestly, have they not learned after Lost and the reimagined BSG, that if you want to include mysterious shit in your story, you better come up with an explanation first, even if it to be revealed at the very end. Instead of just leaving that for later and then after years realizing "ah fuck so why was that happening again?" "Uhh, a SPACE WIZARD did it." "Ok sounds GOOD!".

    If Bioware will somehow still exist four years down the road I will be surprised. After DA2 and this shit it is just impossible.

    It makes no sense, maybe they could salvage this by pushing into the intellectual games market (The Void, Dear Eshter)?

    They literally didn't plan jack shit. That's why you have things like the council and/or the human councilor recognizing the reaper threat and preparing for war in ME1 only to go full retard in the next one with "ah yes reapers".

    I saw it on BSN few years ago, or someone came out with the same idea. It was much more detailed there. Eg. that the point of extermination was to prevent the living beings from messing with that whole 'dark energy', which could cause some catastrophe affecting entire universe and the reapers themselves. If it's a part of Karpyshyn writing, then it makes much more sense than this new shit.
    The new ending is so bad, that even the quoted variant, which isn't too bright and original, seems to be better.

    It would sort of make sense (maybe?) if the evolution of various sentient species across the galaxy was manipulated by Reapers in order to produce what they need, since a point can be made about the advantages of an evolutionary approach, as opposed to a design-oriented one. Then they come over every 50000 years, harvest whatever seems useful for completion's sake, maybe make more reapers, and fly off.

    Then you could make some point about how humanity turned out to be what they wanted all along, explaining a bunch of retarded shit from ME2 and 3, like the human reaper, Harbringer taking an interest in Shepard, Earth being attacked first, and so forth.

    Both the explanation for the reapers motivation and the choice at the and are so retarded that I hope this is fake. This is really stupid shit and hoping that this would be in the game is sad..

    There! Now itz make sense! The dark enegiez iz coming to eatz us!

    Yeah, its kinda dumb, but unfortunately makes more sense then the shit they came up with in the end. No one knows what dark energy actually is so you can play around with it all you like and get the story to work with it.
