I hated the ending of GoT almost as much as I hated the ending of Mass Effect 3.
I still am not over that trainwreck.
At least with Mass Effect, most of the third act was solid. Plus, there's always the Indoctrination Theory to help cope (even if it wasn't intended).
GoT is utterly unsalvageable.
Yeah, but I was so invested in ME. It was such a deep game with so many storylines...all ultimately pointless.
I see your point, though. Right up until the very end, I had a great time. Somehow, though, it feels worse for that abrupt lurch into stupidity.
Yeah, I hear you. Prior to 3, I genuinely expected Mass Effect to evolve into the Star Trek of my generation, complete with spin-off shows, movies, books, etc.
That ending sure took the wind out of those sails.
