The end of MASS EFFECT 3 constitutes what is perhaps the worst ending to a video game trilogy in history. OR DOES IT? The Mass Effect games cover intergalactic travel, dozens of alien species, and a synthetic race of world-ending machines. The only way Mass Effect 3’s ending can possibly fit with the series overall is if IT IS A LIE! However, this begs an important question: What exactly is this game’s deceit and what does it mean for Shepard and The Reapers? In this episode, I reveal the Truth behind what is actually going on in Mass Effect 3!

Haha!
(great reference, I love you for that!)
The year is 2020. It has almost been 3 years since this video was uploaded, and there is STILL NO PART 2 wrapping this theory up to an end.
Please Matpat, please give us Part 2 finally!!! Even if you dropped the theory because you couldn't get it to a satisfying conclusion, just give us what you had! PLEASE!!!!
Valve can't count to 3 but apperently matpat can't even count to 2
Hello
It's a joke now so he'll probably not
@@coldfusionstormgaming1808 valve just doesn't like the number 3, thus why they made Half Life Alyx instead of Half Life 3
Never gonna happen. But rejoice! MatPat has now released his 36TH FNAF video for your viewing pleasure! Seriously, this channel has just become the Matt and Scott show at this point.
"Two-parters can sometimes be frustrating"
ONLY IF YOU DON'T MAKE THE SECOND PART!!
seriously. almost 3 years now.i dint mind 2 part videos..if there is actually 2 parts. this is more like sonic 06, an unfinished disappointment
He probably realized this whole thing is bullshit and relies entirely on some idealist death of the author humbug, except the creators are alive and well and confirmed multiple times that the ending is meant to be taken at face value. There is no hidden meaning, the ending is just simply bad. Deal with it and leave it well enough alone.
@@andor888 That's not true at all, lol
@@Freelancer837 If you say so.
@@andor888 Well it's the truth
"Dear journal it's Feburary 2020 and no part two has came out".
"I feel as if MatPat has been indoctrinated, all hope is lost"
The Reapers will ACTUALLY make it to our system before we see part 2.
Jacob Curley and wipe us of the face of this solar system like the protheans
Joseph Stacy
And watch the fight of Goku vs Frieza
The reapers have already rolled out, it’s too late now 🤣
Was there ever a part two?
rlee1185 nope
“I don’t know why people don’t like 2 parters. It’ll only take a week for the next video to come out”
>proceeds to not release part 2
This is *exactly* why.
Maybe he will pull a Doctor Who part 3 on this one.
especially now
r/agedlikemilk
Mattpat, it's 2021. Mass Effect Legendary Edition has just released. Now is the time to drop part 2 on us like it's as hot as something that steams in Cleveland!
He's not dropping it because BioWare themselves disproved this theory lol
@@ty738 he’s not dropping it because he got major hate for this video at the time, not because it was disproven (at the time of the videos making). It was years too late when discourse had already come and gone on top of other people already making far lengthier and better videos.
@@Craftato Yes, but I'm just saying, BioWare already disproved it, so any chance whatsoever of this theory being picked up again is out the window.
MatPat, indoctrinated by the reapers so that his theory can no longer be completed and prove them real. Just a theory...A uh CONSPIRACY THEORY!! Thanks for reading!
Never thought I'd see a cleveland steamer joke on here
“Ah yes, part two, we have dismissed that claim”
Ivan Webster nice
why citadel WHY?!
Depends on the species, _Turian_
Not all sequels are bad, Matpat.
Please make a part 2
You think he'd know that given how good ME2 is.
ME1 good.
ME2 GREAT!
Proven true.
You are the new justin y
Dude I see you commenting on everything how
Dude this ain't anime, you're coming into everything I like now
It is 27th March 2019. I want a part two. please.
Its April now
Part 2 plz
We've been waiting for years mat pat
It's about to be May in 4 days
2nd may now. We need to spam his newer videos
BRO RETIRED AND NEVER GAVE UP PART 2💀💀💀
tru
He does a MILLION FNAF theories but can’t finish this one.
Ikr. Irks me beyond words honestly.
How to Watch MatPat's Two-Parters:
1) Watch Part 1.
2) Find out at the end of the video that it's a two-parter.
3) Wait a week or two.
4) Check the uploads to see if Part 2 is out yet.
5) Be disappointed that it's not out.
6) Wait another week while frequently checking the uploads.
7) Be disappointed that it's still not out.
8) Go to Part 1's comment section and empathyze with all the complaints of Part 2 not being out yet.
9) Forget about Part 2 for a while.
10) Find Part 2 some time later while randomly browsing RUclips.
11) Watch Part 2.
Dillon Bedard basically lol
Nailed it.
currently repeating step 8, 9, and 9.5) getting irritated that part 2 is still not out.
step 8 achieved...
proceeding to step 9...
>anticipating any video from matpat
pffffff
*IT IS JUNE.*
*2018.*
*WHERE IS PART TWO, MATPAT. WHERE.*
The writing of this episode was probably outsourced to a third party, like many episodes on the channel are. Maybe something fell though and and the second part was unable to be produced.
Agreed, am still wating for part two as well. What is going on or are we more likely to get Mass Effect 5 before we get part 2?
AWOL ODST assume we are never getting it.
AWOL ODST I think we’re more likely to get half life 3 first
Honestly? They could have squeezed in the ending by saying destroying the reapers ends the indoctrination and Shepard is alive. I’ll explain below.
I watched AngryJoeShow talk about this theory but it’s an old 2012 video and he got to the point and said that everything was a hallucination (courtesy of the reapers) Shepard shooting Anderson was actually Shepard getting shot bc when Shep is sitting with Anderson, Shep is bleeding in the same spot where “Shepard” shot Anderson. Shep chooses destroy and the reapers are destroyed but Shep wouldn’t have survived the blow so why is that little clip of Shep (obviously being Shep) waking up in rubble even a thing? Well Shep was on Earth the whole time and not the citadel.
But the only confusion here is how did Shepard destroy the reapers if Shep was only hallucinating all of it? Obviously nothing was solved if it was all in Sheps head. Joe even talked about it even said that Shep was covered in rubble and that the citadel shouldn’t be made of rubble like an earth building would but of special tech (I think is what he said). So my guess is that Shepard is just really, really lucky and survived that kind of blow, because it’s just SO CLEARLY OBVIOUS that that was Shepard waking up in the rubble. And considering Shep was brought up in Andromeda, it has to be the clear answer. Sorry this is super long. This theory is driving me crazy because of how accurate it is. Even the reapers are creeping me out.

Meanwhile on the channel

- Lootboxes are gambling.
- Can Logan Paul win against KSI?
Seriously MatPat?
C'mon man...
Celwenil Eran
Well, it has been two months since a third part of the "Final" FNAF theory was promised.
Its not matpat fault most of his fans would only request fnaf and the games are released bery close together
Celwenil Eran I doubt Logan Paul could beat KSI (Killing Services incorporated)
he cant really make that theroy,cus devs called bs on it XD
@@thenukedgamer65 you really think devs wouldn't call a theory bs just so people would stop spreading it so a later advancement in a story continuing from where me3 left off would be, at least for some people be a big twist? As in, trying to keep something a secret for the benefit of the story.
Like, come on. Of course they would.
The Reapers got to him, stopping us from knowing their weakness, he's Indoctrinated
This theory existed because they allowed it, and it ended because they demanded it.

I have to admit I laughed harder than I should have at 4:00 AM
MatPat, you HAVE to start putting "(part 1)" in your video titles. It feels so bad when you think it's a one-timer, and then it suddenly turns out to be a two-parter
Mathias Seljebotn Erdal agreed
This happens like everytime
If you all dont want to wait clevernoob has posted a video on the indoctrination theory some years ago. It was when I watched it the first time bonechilling. Seriously forget goosebums. My neck straight up froze and my balls looked like two koosh balls!
The original theroy was awsome. and was all ready proven. Matpat is basicly stealing it and regurgitatiing XD
Except it wasn't proven, the developers said it's wrong.
Still waiting for part two.
Lore Star!
Kinf od sad part 2 never came out. This was incredible and really blew my mind
Plenty of good Indoctrination Theory videos out there. Here is a multi hour long one: ruclips.net/video/fEj5FsBXFuM/видео.html
Captian Morgan Doctor who part three all over again
the Beings of Light theory stuff is worth your time too, if you're still interested. This one has two parts: ruclips.net/video/IUcHf-mCR4w/видео.html
There were an excellent video on youtube explaining the Illusive Man and Catalyst dialogues in the end but years later I cant find it anymore
Yeah. Now it's been over a year. Would love to hear the last part of this theory
Where the hell is part 2?
Lazarus Kulig-Green exactly
I came here weeks later for Part 2 to realise it's not here yet, if at all.
Yep i only subscribed so i could know when part 2 comes out, pretty sure ill unsub again after it does. Could have at least said in the title this is only part 1.
Mehariel then leave
It's gonna be RUclips RED. #sellout
I'm at 1:26 and you say there is no final boss?!?! This is an outrage!
Marauder Shields tried to protect us from the atrocity of that ending!
R.I.P Marauder Shields. F
Marauder Shield. So iconic to Mass Effect, there is a webcomic based on him. A very good comic.
Google koobismo
Marauder Shields's death will not be in vein. The reapers will destroy this entire wretched galaxy and consume all Pathetic Turians to create a new Reaper in honor of Marauder.
varnect203 A heavily mutated Illusive Man was originally planned to be the final boss, but that was scrapped as he was considered to be more of an intellectual foe than a physical one (think Joker at the end of Arkham Asylum).
He will forever be the hero we needed but didn't deserve rip
Lived as Marauder Shields, died as Marauder Health :(
Considering Mass Effect Legendary Edition is out and four years have passed since you released this video, would you please "pick up where you left off" as it were and make the second part please?
Indoctrination theory was proven false by BioWare in February.
@@QUICKSCOPEGUY just wondering if you remember where you read/heard that.
@@Craftato There is an article on Forbes where Bioware reps straight up say that the indoctrination theory is something entirely made up by fans. To quote the interview, "Go ahead, make mods and write fanfics about it, whatever floats your boat, but that was not the original intention or what we wrote"
Why? Even the devs have debunked indoctrination theory.
Actually, there are 4 endings. You can shoot the kid and get the ending where everyone dies
I think that was more of troll the game Devs put into to screw with players
Some people of the Indoc Theory believe its the only choice, remember too, the Indoc Theory was before the extended cut, and that was only available in the extended cut.
It's also interesting that if you shoot the kid, he'll reply to this with Harbinger's voice, and I guess it could mean that it was Harbinger, the very first reaper, to be indoctrinating Shepard after his success in destroying Collectors and ruining reapers' plans in Arrival DLC.
Aaron Forbes It was patched in.
Chad Stone
There's 4 endings?
Someone convince Matpat that FNAF is linked to this theory, that way he will upload 4 videos of it in a single day.
When you're still waiting....
CamPain ACAVYOS has a compilation that's pretty wicked and came out the same year 3 was released. If you want to see a full theory and not just a part one.

Same though...

Considering how long we've waited for Doctor Who part 3, don't get your hopes up.
MatPat really RETIRED before giving us a part 2 to this 😂
what do you mean no final boss i believe you have forgotten marauder shields.
to be fair, the elusive man was a pretty good bossfight fitting a series of dialogue heavy games.

Don't forget his loyal friends, the Three Husketeers

Tremorego lol, okay. Just sharing for anyone who hasn't seen it. :)
Yeah, no part 2 till now! July 2018
Ahmed Hamdy its been 84 years...
There was a final boss. His name was Marauder Shields!
Nytemare2all NEVER FORGET MARAUDER SHIELDS
R.I.P Marauder Shields! Dead trying to save us from the ending!
He trained all his life to stop you, chased you across the galaxy.. He was there, on palaven, on tuchanka, on rannoch, on thessia... But even he had to fall.
R.I.P. in peace Marauder Shields. Never forgetti.
best character in the series imo, what a hero
Our fallen hero, if only he warned us sooner...
Submission for the Codex: it has now been 5 years since Matpat released his theory on indoctrination, still awaiting part 2 of his theory, I fear that day may never come to pass.
It seems MatPat himself may have been indoctrinated to be silenced.
Might cuddle up next to Javik in a freezer till the next one does come out.
Yeah... now we're definitely not getting it now 😢
"The End is a LIE!"
Saying there will be a part 2 is the actual lie...
=P
Cyclone718 the part 2 is (kina) andromeda
He didn't say anything about a second part.... Wait, are you experiencing headaches?
We've been indoctrinated into beliving in part 2.
Well what if "the end" is not only the end of the game but also the end of the game theory. That both endings are a lie - so there is no part Two.
*MATPAT. IT'S JANUARY 2019 WHAT ARE YOU DOING*
It's the new Doctor Who pt 3
AdamFord 152 yeahhhhhh
It is now, December
Its now January 2020
It's now March 2020.
WHEN IS PART 2 COME OUT?!
Space Potato what?!
The year is 2024, Matpat has retired. There will never be a part 2
Sometimes I come back here just to read comments like "where is part 2".
There was a final boss. Marauder Shields. Never forget.
That was the hardest part of my insanity playthrough of the ME trilogy. Not even joking
His name was Marauder Shields
What comes after Marauder Shields? Marauder Health
Praise Marauder Shields, the last true hero of Mass Effect.
Yo, MC PAX, watch this to illustrate. /watch?v=467pmIX-oZo
His name is Marauder Shields.
ShakalakaKing He died protecting us from the ending.
The true ending is that Shepard died to the hero, Marauder Shields. And everyone lived happily ever after because your galaxy preparedness actually mattered and the coalition of organics and synthetics defeat the reapers together.
"the end is a lie" and 7 months later, your promise of a part two was a lie. how ironic!
BioWare officially said that indoctrination theory isn't correct.
Justas Gečas doesn't matter. It's still an awesome theory.
ACAVYOS has a compilation that's pretty wicked and came out the same year 3 was released. If you want to see a full theory and not just a part one.
The "indoctrination theory" just proves that the fans take the lore more seriously than the the developers do.
/.ᴊayne AND REMEMBER ITS JUST A CLICKBAIT!!
"Dont get mad at me if it doesn't show up next week" 3 years later: hmmm where's the vid
I guess you just bailed on making a part 2 to this?
The theory was proven false by the creators
Luke Millner
Where? What is the evidence?
Are you kidding me? Why would the creators deny that theory? If the end isn't a battle against indoctrination, then it's poorly written gibberish. And all of the evidence in support of indoctrination is there.
In any case, it never matters what creators think their story is about. What matters is the meaning the story's consumers derive from it. If we want to believe the story is about indoctrination, and we can support that with what's in the story, then we're right.
If the ending is about indoc, then the trilogy is a 15/10 masterpiece.
If it's not, then the trilogy is a 6/10 hackjob.
Actually, as far as I was aware, the creators were purposefully not confirming or denying this theory simply leaving it up to the fans to decide which version they preferred.
Could you do a theory on the governmental and national status in the world of plants vs. zombies.
That's actually a really great idea. I want to know what kind of crazy stuff happened to get us to the point where we're forced to use plants as weapons to fight off a horde of the undead. Kind of doubt there's enough in the games to really explain it all, though, without quite a bit of guessing and conjecture.
That would be hard... Do you mean just the modern society shown in the original game or the past and future as well shown in other games? In plants vs zombies garden warfare 2 there is a map on another planet so would that count as the status of the government universally?
vult boiy YAAAAAAAAAAS
YES!!!
A PLANTS V ZOMBIES THEORY!!(btw, no, no I am not an idiot or small child....)
Pieguy55 don't call small children idiots
Its August 4 2019, we'll wait as long as we need to but we won't let you forget either.
Just letting you know, it's November 1st 2019, if you weren't aware of still no part 2.

Guys it's 2020, the Reapers are definitely in close enough range to indoctrinate him into not telling us how mass effect was a lie, because they don't want us also knowing the outcome
also the weapon wasnt called the catalyst, it was called the crucible. The child A.I thing was the catalyst
Jay Reezy FROSH!!!
I thought the catalyst was the thing in the first game that sent you to the citadel.
God damn, what is *C*asey Hudson's obsession with C's?
Wait, no, the citadel is the catalyst right? It's been a while since I played me3, but I'm pretty sure it is. The catalyst was the missing crucible piece which then turned out to be the citadel.
AceArchangel try the Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod :)
Either way they were giant macguffins that made war assets and all of your choices pointless.
and im surprised he didn't bring this up, but on the infrasound scale the below 20 ones are the color yellow. sour yellow notes. surprised he didn't point that out, as it just ads further proof.
im not a mass effect fan so I cant give my own opinion on wether hes right or wrong, but its still interesting to hear
Yousif Osama yup. I have so many Nobel Peace Prizes I use em as coasters.
The yellow maybe depends on what you're using though. It's not actually visually yellow, just yellow is a proxy colour chosen so you can distinguish between them. It's a key to the scale.
***** why? They made garbage, and the fans saved it. Even if it wasn't intentional, why would they deny it?
Probably due to something called "honesty". A shitty notion, really, they should have just lied.
I think matpat was indoctrinated by the reapers, and they made him not make part 2.
We will have The Legendary Edition, and Still nothing about Part 2....

But seriously man, this was just like watching an good anime that got cancelled right in the middle.
well, maybe he didn't make part two because this theory doesn't make sense.
Mr dragonborn Elder scrolls fan actually I think matpat used to much proof in this part so the second part was gonna be short
I can relate to this
Because I just finished watching Seraph of the End
I feel so cheated
@@asianpewdiepie6320 Maybe if this video was made in Spring 2012 it would be considered well-written, but this video was made in 2017, 5 years after the Extended Cut was released, and yet he refuses to aknowledge it at all and uses dated pre-patch clips out of context. No wonder part 2 is never coming.
MatPat, can you please figure out the lore of Wii Sports Resort?
Miis take a vacation to Wuhu island and play a bunch of games.
But Hey, That's just a Theory
A GAME THEORY
YoU'Re NOt LoOkING DEeP ENoUGh
Why is it never night? Who are all the NPCs? Who's the pilot of the plane when you go skydiving?
SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
They are survivors of a zombie attaxk and now they are force to live on an island with a active volcano, their overlords came with a "brilliant idea" and forced everyone to a type of sport or die, your character can do all of them so you are forced to every sport and when ever you get off, your character respawns, and when you get back on that means your have been revived to do your work
-random person on the internet
That makes the whole thing even more mysterious!
OPeN yOUR EyES pEOPlE
Still should have had an ending with substance. Indoctrination or not, the "endings" were just lazy for end of a trilogy of that scale.
Think if Return of the King ended with just casual stroll up the mountain and Frodo just dropped the Ring in the lava and went home.
Well, yeah but it's known that the script for the original intentions around the ending were scrapped pretty late in development but I'm still curious as to how that would play out?
I am (apparently) one of few who actually liked the ending of ME3 (though I might have started playing after the extended cut version).
The endings left enough ambiguity for the player to determine what happens in detail from what we expect of the characters after getting to know everyone in our own ways.
That makes our own stories that aren't wrong which is what I like about the Dark Souls lore, all the games are so deep yet vague enough for us to make up our own stories, explanations and theories that aren't wrong since there isn't proof of anything else.
please dont defend 3 endings that where practically exactly the same, and in no way took into account any of the "important" choices you made during the 3 games(something that they promised). the only choice you have at the end of the game is "would you like a red, blue, or green explosion?"
More like Frodo gets to Mt Doom, talks to Sauron, and decides to make everyone in the world into orcs.
TheHolycupcake he did say the extended cut, which was much better
The extended cut didn't really avoid the iceberg as it so much as added deck chairs to watch the catastrophe from a different angle. The problem with the ending wasn't that we didn't get to say final goodbyes and what not. The problem was that it defied the entire point of Mass Effect (stopping the Reapers from killing and enslaving us all) and rendered all the choices pointless by going along with their insane plan. Shephard is fully capable of using his words to resolve a centuries long conflict (Tunchanka and Rannoch) but can't even so much as say why the Star Child's plan makes no sense on the organics/geths point of view?
5 months matpat! 5 freaking months!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lilly A Ihope you don't like ONEY cartoons, because HELLBENDERS HASNT GONE ANYWHERE
10 Months now
YOU KNOW THE PART2 IS LIE???
Am I crazy or there has not been a part 2? Have I been indoctrinated? Should I ask the giant flying monkey in my room?
It is May 26, 2020. Still no part two in sight. Ran out of food and water days ago. I have almost lost all sense of time. Mat and Steph did a Reddit meme review on GT Live, reacting to comments about the abundance of FNAF content with excuses about game releases being pushed back and having no new subject matter. Yet here we wait, patiently, hope slowly dwindling to despair. Have we been forgotten? Abandoned? Left to rot forever wondering what the conclusion may be? Will our wait be in vain? Will we ever be fulfilled? What has become of the world? Hopefully some giving soul will make a meme about how this has been neglected to call up the dredges of their memories of this theory to mind, then finally we may find answers.
Priceless 😂😂

Nice but there is one thing, the Protean VI on Thessia was programed to sense indoctrinated life forms, it didn't felt anything on Shepard and this was practically almost the end... so...
But if it was all in Shepards head, it would'nt detect his indoctrination....also *Prothean
Shepard was NOT indoctrinated simple. If the prothean VI would have been present when shepard was seeing those nightmares then it would state that Shepard is TRYING to be indoctrinated. Never is Shepard actually indoctrinated... In the end you choose if you are indoctrinated (control, synthesis) or refuse and maybe live to fight another day(destroy)...
Always Angry Person devs said all indoctrination theory were wrong so your point is moot
onitai fredoza Well I'd agree with you except that exact same VI sensed an indoctrinated Asari coming towards Shepherd and his Crew and shut down alerting to the presence of an Indoctrinated person when the asari approaches you. Also with Javik mind meld ability he would of sensed of it in Eden Prime. Then there's bioware who stated that this theory was false and Shep was fine
Stuart May lmao i guess game theroy i just stupid
So now that Mass Effect Legendary Edition is out. Can we please have part 2 now that it is relevant again.
For real. I figured if there was ever a chance to return to this theory it would be now.
The oily shadows thing you mentioned is hard to ignore, as well as the reference to the books with the reaper sound after the failure of indoctrination. The Anderson and illusive man angel and devil over your shoulder dynamic def makes me feel like this is a battle of will rather than a physical battle.
i had a theory that that was the case, except it applies to all of mass effect 3. i view it as shepard never made it back at the end of ME 2. examples of this are that most returning chars from ME2 are trying to fix what shepard believes are their biggest regret. morian fixing the genophage, tali taking her planet back, etc, and if you dont do 1 thing exactly, they die. its reacuring hope followed by demoralizing failure. it ties in with the ending. the illusion of choice, with a tiny window of success. its textbook torture which works and torture that doesnt. no choice, no hope, and someone with tell you the sky is green to make you stop. illusion of choice, hope and demoralization, and eventually, you will get accurate information.
saren WAS someone who would die before helping the reapers, but he was given a false choice, which it seems he thinks was his idea, his realization, but it wasnt.
the other point is that the cannon ending of 3, now that andromeda has come out is Liaras message, she was not there for the ending of me2
Did anyone else notice that the rachni queen said "sour YELLOW noise" and when he showed us the spectral analysis that the part he was showing us was YELLOW?
Will Dirks woah
Will Dirks u just blew my mind
Where's part two Matt?
The Part 2 will never come out, and only now is it truly over.
My theory on this theory on this channel of theory... Someone, a good writer (or writers) at BioWare, wrote this into the script, and it got shut down at the last minute because EA or BioWare wanted to have a Mass Effect 4 possibility, so they threw together a new epilogue, because the idea of ending the story where it was intended to be ended was vetoed somewhere in the chain of command.
actually they had a different ending, but then ea bought bioware after ME2 came out, the lead writer hated working with them on ME3 so he quit and leaked his ending. they were pretty close to the release date so they had to quick through together another ending and this is what they came up with. it felt forced because it was forced
/sigh
EA bought them after the original not 2. Drew didn't quit 3. He was moved over during 2 to work on SWTOR. He only had a general idea of his ending which walters had moved away from before 3 began. Didn't leak it.
This has been my suspicion as well for along time.
it's been FIVE MONTHS where's part 2?
7 months now
69 months now
I'm REEEEEAAAAALLY hoping he talks about the inconsistencies between Starkid's explanation of the Reapers and the original canon explanation of the Reapers as told by Sovereign. I don't get why people think that the Reapers being the "we destroy all life to save it" cliche is so much cooler than the infinitely scarier "we have no beginning" explanation. Is it so hard to believe there is a realm of existence so far beyond our own that living constructs beyond our understanding could have existed outside of the confines of the universe? I mean... it also makes sense considering that if you took every harvest (which are 50,000 years apart) and lined it up since the beginning of the universe (before any life existed on planets that had not yet existed because stars hadn't been formed yet), you would have around 700 Reapers instead of the THOUSANDS that supposedly "darken the sky of every world". Seriously. 700 Reapers.
I don't even really care that the series had a 3-colored ending. What pisses me off is that Bioware and EA retcon-nuked possibly the greatest villains to ever exist--into a cliched sci. fi. motive as old as time--or... Isaac Asimov. Call me entitled, whiny, whatever you want: Of everything bad that's happened to this beautiful space opera adventure with enough lore to stand as a contender in the ranks of Star Wars and Star Trek, their treatment of the TERRIFYING Reaper lore is by and large the most offensive.
tl;dr please?
tl;dr: Only intellectuals get to know what i said because they take the time to do a basic thing like reading.
Almost been a year now, bucko. Any chance we can get that sneaky dose of part 2 about now?
The remaster is on it's way MatPat. This is the perfect time to drop PART TWO
19:12 "So don't get bad at me if it doesn't appear next week"
*sees it's 2 weeks later*
Time to get mad
haha ya, where the hell is it.
DarkEnigma91 sees it 3 months later and questions life
...5 months later...I'm mad *ThrowsChair*
DarkEnigma91 now it's 5 months later
6 months!
It's been two weeks. Where's the second part? Or is FNAF more important?
haven't finished the video yet but I bet it's a 2 parter
called it
Tristan Wilburn if over 16 min. it's most likely a 2 parter.
Tristan Wilburn goddamit!
2020 is calling, they want their theory.
2021 is calling now
2022😭
2023 :/
I thought Marauder Shields was the final boss.
because he is
never forgetti
Maurauder Shields wasn't a boss, he was our last hope, our savior.
Glynn Tarrant Yeah! Let's Frankenstein this dead meme.
Сабина Алексеева stop it bots.
Glynn Tarrant Let's not forget the three husketeers
Soo, three months later and still no part 2? Is it just dropped, or did you forget to post it Game Theory?
Ya matpats bad for that
No final boss? Dude do your research better. Marauder shields is one of the most complex characters in history of humanity.
is so complex 90% of players don't even remember, because complexity.
do you fight him at the end?
if don't it doesn't count.
jakub zajíc I played the whole game. And I don't remember "marauder". Might just be me. I have bad memory.
He is the last thing you fight in the series. And he tries to protect youf rom the actuall ending so ye he is teh final boss we dont we desereve but we need.
The true hero of Mass Effect. I should have let him kill me to spare me from the horror.
"These two parters can be frustrating" .... Yep.
still waiting on part 2 of this theory
he was indoctrinated
He isn't going to do part 2 because he remembered in 3 that the VI that talks to Shep on Thessia and after tells him he doesn't have any signs of indoctrination and it could sense it in Kylo Ren...I mean Kai Leng.
That can easily be explained away
@@Dotoku14 How? From what the game presents the VI are never wrong about that so why would it be wrong randomly one time for no good reason? I get the ending to ME3 sucked but you have to accept it.
Where is part 2, ITS BEEN 3 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it still not out? I can't find it on the channel?
its nearly 2023, as i write this its December 21st 2022, MatPat has sold game theory, there is still no part 2.
Where is part two?!
I know!
No shade but shade, Matt needs to cut it out with these 2 part episodes or at least let us know at the start of the video. It's gotten to the point where I don't even watch videos right away. I know there's no easy way to do it but girl, you gotta do better.
Why? 2 parters makes him more money and gives him time to properly explain theories without having ridiculously long videos. Get over it.
FeathertopDT technically, a thirty minute video and two 15 minute videos would get him the same amount of money. It's based off of minutes viewed.
last i checked its actually based on views per video. technically per 1000 views per video. so 2 15 minute video's would actually make the channel more money. the minutes viewed more so effects where his video shows up on the featured list. while I personally like longer videos I also like the amount of effort they put into these theories. so I don't mind waiting
FeathertopDT, it would however be nice if he could say at the beginning that the video is going to be a 2-parter and not in the last 10 seconds.
FeathertopDT but he could tell us in the title or at the beginning of a video so we know
... Part 2?!! Or is this the theory that got away
SirBantius ACAVYOS has a compilation that's pretty wicked and came out the same year 3 was released. If you want to see a full theory and not just a part one.
This theory's end was as disappointing as ME3's
So you missed the most important piece from the theory:
Let's talk about the three endings, but we can boil it down really to two
1) The reapers die
2) The reapers live
When you kill the reapers, they make it seem like the worst possible scenario because you destroy all the technology all the geth, but if you control or synthesize the reapers live and everything looks perfect.
now in the two instances where you let the reapers live, if you look at shepherd's eyes you actually see indoctrination in his eyes, but whereas when you destroy the reapers you actually see his resolve strengthen, I don't remember if you hear the reaper rejection sound or not but his eyes never turn indoctrination color. And the arguably most important piece, where you kill the reapers that is the only instance where you actually see Shepherd wake up on Earth as if it was a dream and he still has to actually finish the fight
That's cybernetics, not indoctrination.
The geth actually fused with the quarian suits so there immune system be stronger so technically non canon speaking most geth are not dead but who knows lol
The Indoctrination Theory was born out of the original ending to ME3, which was confusing and made no sense (For example, it was implied the crew members you run to the portal on Earth with die, but can later be seen getting out of the Normandy during the ending sequence, somehow not only being safe but having teleported to a ship that was only present in the space battle). At the time this theory made sense, and served to explain these seeming plot-holes.
The problem with this is that Bioware then released the Extended Cut, which featured a new ending. This ending added new content to fill in all these gaps, and added a wealth of additional epilogue scenes depicting what happens after Shepard's choice. These epilogues are not shown from Shepard's point of view, which suggests these are things that are actually taking place. That means the choice Shepard makes is really happening, and the Indoctrination Theory no longer works. Also, Bioware straight up said that the theory is false, so there's that.
It was a fun theory at the time, and even I liked the sound of it, but it was rendered clearly false by the extended cut ending.
even with the dlc the ending still doesn't make sense and indoctrination still is a possibility. I don't remember the details, maybe there's something that rules out indoctrination completly, but as far as I remember the ending still sucked and indoctrination still applied.
Cariss Mcbober I blame EA for the normie ending. Bioware wanted to do the Indoctrination ending from the start.
Good riddance, too. Indoctrination makes even less sense to me than the original ending.
how does it makes less sense? if anything indoctrination makes more sense and is more supported by everything that happens in the game than the stupid kid's flawed logic of "robots kill people so to prevent that I made robots that kill all the people before they can make robots that kill people"
J.M. Alexia It doesn't make sense to those who are indoctrinated.
Mat, there's a good reason we hate 2 parters, this was 2 weeks ago and we're STILL waiting on part 2!
Breowak 3 weeks now
Breowak 2 months
2 months for me. I pity anyone who is seeing this after it's been posted, because odds are, the second part won't be out by then.
Thomas McKenzie Its not 😑
I can't stand 2 parters.
Isn't there suppose to be a part 2?
Maybe he's taking his time to actually fact-check his theory before uploading it. This one has a lot of mistakes and is making the theory look bad.
define the mistakes. Because I don't see anything wrong with it.
He called the Crucible the Catalyst and the Catalyst the Starchild, even though that is an accepted name for him. But it's clear he mixed up a few things or might not have known the differences at all. Also, he referenced the end of one of the missions when it was actually the Reaper IFF mission the event happened instead, but he did mark this himself onscreen when he was talking about it. Other than that, the theory seems solid enough
Also: the final mission of ME2 wasn't the derelict reaper, that was just a regular mission. The final mission was on the Collectors home 'ship' thingy.
I'm reposting this since I got marked as spam.
-2:29 to 2:49
ME2's not exactly a race against T.I.M. for Reaper-tech. It's Shepard teaming up with him to stop humans from being abducted by the Reapers' zombie slaves. He corrected the Derelict Reaper part as an annotation, and the parts about TIM wanting to elevate humanity at any cost (reaper tech) is correct, but a good fact-check or a recent playthrough could've stopped Mat from even recording that mistake at this point and again at 9:05 to 9:13. We end the game in the Collector Base; no doubt full of Reaper tech and a baby Reaper, but still a different place from the dead one.
-2:50 to 3:15
He confuses the Crucible for the Catalyst. The Crucible is the weapon we're building in ME3 and the final piece, or the "On" Button-- is the Catalyst, which we need to find to turn on the super weapon. We find out that the Citadel is that missing piece aka the Catalyst--and as we attach the Crucible to it, an AI shows up claiming to be the Catalyst whereas it's mainly the Reaper Master AI. The starchild admits and reinforces that throughout the conversation.
-7:20 to 7:35
The info up to this point was solid and correct. It starts to get rough at this point because he says the Derelict Reaper mission is a sidequest. It's actually mandatory and so no matter how you play your Shepard, you will have been inside of a reaper. A minor nitpick overall though.
Looking back I admit there's not "a lot of mistakes" but there's some glaring flaws. The problem isn't his rundown of the theory or how the Reapers are brainwashing, it's more of how he's framing the story. Most of it is correct but if he could've avoided these potholes (not plotholes) so that any longtime ME fan who isn't a fan of the IT, doesn't have to rely on Mat's mistakes to disprove what he's saying.
Basically, prevent them from saying "Oh he got this wrong so how can we take his theory seriously? Did he even play the games?" by fact-checking everything before uploading.
2019 is coming to an end....Matt Patt....finish the theory. You're our only hope....
Also feel free to do a ME:A theory after
Mass Effect Andromeda was so shite, though. The story was dry and predictable, the character models were good, but the character movement was dry and stale.
Azure Shin Andromeda was so awful and stupid that MatPat didn't even try to put any theory about Ryder name origin!
@@ricardohoang8452 lol it was the first mass effect i played XD
Azure, check out the original Indoctrination Theory by clevernoob. It’s much more detailed and in depth than this.
Moment
First time we see the kid, he is playing with a normandy toy.
The kid is a symbol for the reapers.
The normandy is a symbol for shepard.
This scene is a metaphor for the reapers controlling Shepard.
Eddytor omg. you're awesome
Actually it was an alliance fighter, but close enough
Oh yeah, my bad, it's not.
Anyway, alliance fighter can still be a symbol of shepard, right ? :p
The ending was a disgraceful conclusion to a great trilogy. The Indoctrination Theory is the only way I can enjoy it. If you're able to enjoy the ending as it is, I'm happy for you. But unfortunately, myself and other fans have to interpret the ending this way to accept it.
Still waiting on Part 2.
The neutral one gave some shots to solving the conflict. With everyone being part organic/ part Synth, It either kills the conflict entirety because to claim one is better then the other is a lost cause or it could make even more issues where you are put into special groups from how much of you is mixed (like groups for people who are mostly organic and groups for people who are mostly synth and basically every % in between.)
DigitalVanquish i mean, you could have downloaded that dlc that mad everything happy (joker's able to fly away from the cloud successfully, the mass relays are only damaged, not destroyed, and admiral Hackett is able to unite all the species to rebuild the citadel, fix the mass relays, and build a stronger galaxy from scratch, the reapers are dead forever, and shepard and his or her entire crew survive the ending fight). I completely agree though that the ending was disappointing, especially the mass relays being destroyed part for me.
tbh, the only good plot in the ME series was ME1, ME2's was railroady, handwavy, and lampshady, and still didn't make sense when you suspended disbelief, and ME3 had good side plots, but the main one was still pretty crappy, the games were fun and engaging (mostly) but still kinda shitty plots.
MegaCake1234 how did me2 not make sense?
DigitalVanquish Matt's rediculously late to the party on this one though
>Mass Effect 2 is a race against Illusive Man
You tried.
With the final battle taking place inside a "derelict Reaper". *face palm*
FullerAbyss He just about never knows what he's talking about. Game theory gets most things wrong and clearly never even played any of the mass effects. That's why he either thinks the IT is true or is just talking about it like it is true for a cash grab (likely). Only idiots believe in the indoctrination theory.
Idiots believe in the IT theory? Clearly you are the idoit clevernoob proves it.
PimTim If you need two videos over an hour long each to even try to prove your point then you don't deserve to be taken seriously. There is so much evidence to disprove the indoctrination theory. The main fact being that the exposure Shepard has shouldn't have indoctrinated even a very weak willed person. Indoctrination typically requires days to weeks to months of constant exposure to reaper tech to indoctrinate and indoctrination only works on people that have a weak will.

He never did give us part 2
seriously, over a year later and still not a part 2? way to leave your community hanging...
same way he did with the doctor who part 3 on film theory
Matpat!
This is the last day of May 2019 and you haven't given us part 2!!
This is the last day of May 2020! Whats going on! Where is Part 2!!
Hey ummm. Mat pat... You forgot the fourth ending.... You can just shoot the kid. Right in the face.... That's what i did the first time I played. to H.F.I.L. with starchild!
Haha I did it out of frustration thinking it would do nothing, and then I saw I basically killed everyone
That was a part of their dumbass "patch" of the horrible ending
Personally, I did say I found the endings frustrating, not that I didn't like them
ssj10gokuisgod It's my favorite of the four endings, honestly. Liara's message is out there for the next cycle to find. Suicide mission complete.
It's the only logically possible and understandable ending. There is no way you can beat the Reapers without "magic button".
p.s. with Liara message there is high probability that the next cycle would stop the Cycle. Unless that giant microphone does nothing.
The year is 2374.
A youth boots up a strange archaic machine. As it turns out, a page was left open. Something called... RUclips is currently being displayed. The youth glances nervously out the window, making sure no bots are nearby. The youth can't afford to be apprehended by them again. The youth decides to watch the video.
Images flash across the screen. Images detailing an entertainment simulation called Mass Effect. A voice comes on and begins to narrate a theory about the story of Mass Effect. At first the voice is mildly irritating, but in time the youth comes to find it endearing. The youth watches the video, enjoying what they are seeing. After 19 minutes and 54 seconds, the video comes to a close. The youth browses through other videos on the channel that provided the one they just finished watching.
Confusion sets in, followed by frustration, and then anger. Where is part 2? The youth wonders. The low battery icon flashes, but still the youth searches. The sounds of laser fire echo outside the building. The bots have found the youth. Yet still, the youth searches. Where is part 2? A moment later, the screen goes dark. The battery is dead. The youth leaps to their feet, yelling at the machine. Where is part 2? The door is blown off its hinges, signaling that the bots have arrived. The youth takes no notice however, continuing to accost the machine. Where is part 2? The bots grab the youth, hauling the screaming child away. Over and over, the youth cries.
Where is part 2?
Where is part 2?
Where is part 2...
😂😂😂😂
