  • Can you blame Mass Effect for stealing these endings? I only wish there was an ending where JC, I mean, Commander Shepard joins up with the Illuminati. Er, I mean Cerberus.

  • @JohnMooreification But can you blame Mass Effect for not stealing the intelligence and themes in these endings?

  • @cuttinggale63 Yes.

  • The new Mass Effect 3 ending looks fantastic!

  • People don’t understand that this ending don’t put an end in electricity, or medical bots. It only puts an end to mass communication, thus preventing superpowers or a global market, and by that, creating governments at a level that people can understand and participate.

  • @thelepisma

    HELL YEAH

    but this tells you how crapsack the situation is.

  • "Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth..." - Kahlil Gibran

    the best quote of the three endings, and all three have damn fine quotes

  • I would have liked an ending where you kill Page and Everett and leave everything else as it is.

  • Tracer Tong was the only one who wasn't in it for himself.

  • @napalmwedding Well, doubtless he would try and gain control of Hong Kong. But yes, he is definitely the most altruistic.

  • Let's say this is the real ending and pretend IW never happened...

  • @zonilo1 IW? What IW?  :D

  • @Minimum754

    Invisible War

  • @zonilo1 Yeah I knew that IW meant Invisible War.  I was just playing along.

  • This ending was the only one that made no sense at all. Not only would the worldwide suffering and devastation you'd inflict on the human race make everything MJ12 had done look like a picnic, but it would only even work for as long as it took for people to redevelop the technologies needed for global communications - it's a completely temporary, meaningless measure - the act of a total fool.

  • @ClunytheScourge1 If people today suffered a 100 year setback, I don't think the world would just naturally sort itself out and return to the status quo. People today are overspecialized and depend too much on the work of their predecessors.

  • @broomunit Of course the world would revert back to its original state. The imperatives created by dense populations demanding consumer lifestyles will be exactly the same. And it wouldn't take 100 years - more like 10 or 20, as the scientists with the know-how needed to redevelop the technologies haven't vanished. Worse would be the certain rise of warlords across the world, gang-leaders with a few men and some weapons become local petty kings, making life lawless and brutal, all thanks to JC.

  • I giggle every time I see Page's face in this cutscene.

  • To anyone who is curious, the full quote by Gibran is: "Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love."

  • its really a trilemma, yet i like this one the best.

    no tyranny, no dictatorship.

    anarchy, maybe, but it wont stay like that forever.

    see it like a country, when there is dictatorship and tyranny, the only way to overcome that is the truth or destroying it and since finding out the truth with the illuminati is impossible and a perfect dictator like helios too, the only way was the dark age ending.

    freedom is more valuable in my eyes

  • It's an "Escape from LA" style ending.

  • Tracer Tong FTW !!!

  • Was that supposed to be a dramatic explosion or something? 0:53

  • did JC die or is he still alive

  • Destroy in order to create...

  • @Ignuus66 I would imagine a single alien reactor in Nevada exploding wouldn't cause worldwide chaos. It'd leave a dent in the middle of a desert, sure; but a little pockmark in the landscape would probably be a better idea than allowing generations to die of a disease made for the purpose of gaining control of the people.

  • @ssw11

    Well it's been some time since I played Deus Ex but I think the point of this ending brining worldwide chaos would be because the facility hosts Helios who essentially is a server "containing" the internet and all communication protocols. Of course doing this in real life would defeat a major purpose of the internet, a functioning network that could take detours when taking information from point A to point B if the direct route got disrupted.

  • @LiquidMoogle Amazing quality of your video and sound. Do you mind if I use it to make an mp3 file out of it, which I really want to add in a video I am trying to make?

    I will give credit about your video if you want. Please respond, as soon as possible!

  • @alerommel1 sure, I don't care, I don't own anything in the video, I just recorded and uploaded it, it's really Square Enix who you should be asking since they hold the rights to the game

  • @LiquidMoogle Thanks a lot! Keep up the good work!

  • @ssw11

    Or you want humanity to end much more latter in a more dramatic way? It's better for this to happen now than latter. Leaders can't maintain chaos forever......

  • If only we will atleast get a REMAKE of this game.. Deus ex 3 will e great prolly but it just won't be as phenominal plot-wise from what I saw

  • my favorate ending of the game

    the end of the wrong world and a start of a new one without the supreme leaderships and such JC denton did right by doing that

    ok yes it puts the world into a dark age but how things were then would like if JC merged with Helios would the world be better off? its kinda hard to say really if you think from the second game (Invisble war) JC is bascilly enslaving the human race welll Heilos rather... I'd rather be shunted into a dark age then have a AI in me

  • Best ending.. end of supreme leadership and centralised surveillance

  • @icesyncer and a start of a new dark age, with small possible dictators, crime and basically it wouldbe fallout - nuclear wasteland and + 9 billion people.

  • @Ignuus66

    Human wouldn't last long with out this technology even without nukes. Though living in smaller villages and smaller population sooner than latter is a good thing......

  • @SgtThom hmm dunno about that, one of the symbols of human developement are cities

  • @icesyncer And create a society where only the strong and ruthless survive. Remember that the first Dark Ages only managed to create chaos and destruction in the wake of the fall of an empire..

  • @Nekhet

    That's a wrong idea that has been taught in history classes. Even the name "dark ages" is a misnomer.

    The feudal states kept advancing after the fall of rome. The seeds of science, new weapons, new farming techniques, and all sorts of other developments came about during the middle ages. The only grim things about them were independent of governance: an ice age and the black death.

  • @Kogerii Actually, many things including certain scientific studies were only rediscovered centuries after the fall of the Roman empire. The Catholic church simply did not approve of science and technology. F.ex: something which was very common during the Greek/Roman period, like sewersystems, concrete etc. were only first used again in the 18th century. And much of the "science" you speak of only reached the Middleages Europe via Arabian merchants and scholars who had preserved and translated

  • @Kogerii ancient Greek and Roman texts. They also brought numerals and calculating systems which have their origin in India (the symbol "0" was not well received by European scholars when it first emerged in Europe).

    Strangely enough it was merchants and otehr traders who was the first to use these foreign numbers and calculating system. Not the scholars.

    BTW: I think you meant "ice winter" not "ice age". That was in a different much older period of time:)

  • @Nekhet

    I meant ice age. There was a mild ice age from around 1200-1400 ad.

    Italian bankers popularized arabic numerals in Europe b/c they make it easier to calculate interest.

    Pursuits like alchemy, doctoring, and various studies of monks (from brewing to the genetic testing of Mendell) advanced man's knowledge during the middle ages. Besides that was various military technology (castles, seigeworks, longbows, cannons, etc.) and domestic advancements like collapsible furniture.

  • @Kogerii I still think you mean ice "winter" cause in an ice age everything is when ice begin pushing down/up from either the South or the North pole.

    Actually, again, alchemy have their origins in the Arabian countries. You can even hear it in the words where there originate from. You know like: ALchemy, ALcohol, ALgebra etc.

    Weapons like the crossbow and different siege engines were actually invented several hundred years before in what we nowdays call China.

  • @Kogerii BTW: Gregor Mendel did´nt live during the Middle Ages, my friend. He was born in 1822 and died in 1884. But yes; monestaries were some of the few places were old scientific records were kept intact. So, we can thank the monks for that:)

  • ideally, not the most informed ending... but definitely the most epic!

  • Illuminati ending is better than this collectivist crap.

  • @lyethian Hmmm... I always favorited the merge with Helios ending.

  • @Nekhet

    Me too

    I...I...WE are One

  • this is the best ending

  • @aidan456456 You're fair and honest. Not many people have these qualities these days.

  • You are honest and fair. Not many have these qualities these days.

  • None of the endings are good endings. It's just down to which one you believe is the lesser evil.

    The creators of the game are genius by doing this instead of a simple happily ever after or a total bad ending. It makes you really think as if it's a genuine hard choice.

    This is the ending I choose. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make if humanity is to be truly free from the tyranny of sentient AIs, evil elitists, and forcing transhumanist technology on mankind.

  • @FortitudeOfHeaven What tyranny of sentient AI's ? You only have tyranny when letting nature kill you and use you so that it may create diversity. That's tyranny. Go back to your cave and hollywood dogma. Scarifice you say ? It's the most selfish choice that one could ever make, because you force everyone to die for a primitive evolution mechanism. Transhumanism is the only one to become free.I'm really glad that you want to die for something you did not choose, shows how much you actually think

  • @MarkFidelio Calm down douchebag, it's just a game. It doesn't matter what you choose nor did it have any difference in the next game.

    "Letting nature kill you and use you so that it may create diversity" isn't tyranny. It's called natural selection. Tyranny is created by entities-tyrants, dictators, emperors, corrupt individuals and governments.

    Not "everyone dies". It just means power grids and communications are shut down globally. The real elite want to be transhumanists and want you dead

  • @FortitudeOfHeaven The old "it's a game" excuse. Natural selection is the most despotic form of tyranny, your so called tyrants derive from your chosen system, to suplement it's flaws. Just because tyranny isn't done directly by you, your primitive system that you have chosen does that, does not make it any less of a tyranny. Ofcourse "everyone dies", because if you destroy technology, you let everyone being subjected to the life and death cycle "primitive evolution mechanism".

  • @FortitudeOfHeaven "Tyranny is created by entities-tyrants, dictators, emperors, corrupt individuals and governments." Only human condition does that, to apply this condition to an AI that never experienced it in the first place, it's totally illogical. Your natural selection thrives through corruption, dictators, emperors, etc. If you eliminate natural selection, physical death mainly, you give everyone the power to become independent, and let that class you mentionted starve itself to death.

  • @MarkFidelio Not if an AI is advanced enough that it becomes sentient and begins to think for itself. At least this is possible in science fiction and the AI becomes dangerous. Like I Robot, Eagle Eye, and Skynet. Even though the idea of a 'benevolent dictator' is ideally the most perfect government you can have governed by an AI that feels no greed or lust for power.

    The thing with everyone linked to Helios/JC is that you couldn't think anything without Helios/JC knowing.

  • @FortitudeOfHeaven JC is the stability that Sonny, whatever entity starred in Eagle Eye, and Skynet never had. It's always easy to portray faulty machinery that goes wrong. How come we never portray something that had any good outcome ? We are unable to see anything good beyond our hardwired condition, only because it's a hard thing. Some of us might need that connection with Helios/JC. And because JC is aware of "Humankind's love of freedom", he will offer a choice to those who don't want it.

  • @MarkFidelio

    So it's either utopian communism in a post-human civilization with everyone connected to an AI, capitalism governed by secret elite societies, or back to the stone age. Sorry but I still say none of them sound good.

  • The good things about the endings is you don't know what ending is the 'Good' ending or the 'Bad' ending.

  • This is the best ending. Screw Helios communism and the illuminatti capitalism. Just blow everything and run away. Ahaha!

  • @theLepisma Screw your despotic tyranny that this ending has to offer.

  • not gonna lie, I'm not a fan of this ending even though Tracer Tong is my main man

  • Deus Ex conspiracy version is cooler

  • Page was right he did burn

  • @doughnut471 Another one like him will be born. This ending chooses a system that created people like Page.

  • @MarkFidelio exactly. Unless we learn from history, it will repeat itself.

  • IMO Coolest music of the 3 endings

  • I loved the quote at the end.

    "Yesterday, we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today, we kneel ONLY to truth."

    --KAHLIL GIBRAN

    I just hope that, after this ending, things will be better. They restart civilization, make progress through technology again and learn from their mistakes.

  • @JinRenegade There will be no techonology to keep track of these mistakes. Human brain is a slave of the forced human condition. These things alter perception, create corruption, and thrive through selfish reasons. It will all come back to square one. If you eliminate human condition, death, and other nature boundries one entity or society would become capable of creating a clean, good and fair system. Freedom will be finally achieved.

  • @MarkFidelio Do you really think that getting rid of digital technology will eliminate all technology? What about physical knowledge such as in books?

  • @JinRenegade How many people are going to die without their choice for all this "Dark Age" thing ?

    Nature kills us because it's too dumb to create life and diversity without death. Tracer Tong is too dumb to create a change without the death of that current system. See the connection ? You people are obsessed with destruction and death, because it's the easy way. That's what natural selection and mindless animals do.

  • Comment removed

  • I always wondered if Jc survived this ending.

  • @YasserCrackafat Of course he did.

  • Comment removed

  • @YasserCrackafat I doubt any who have choosed this will survive.

  • @aidan456456 I agree

  • The 'New Dark Age' thing was already tried out in Cambodia. Didn't turn out so well I recall...

  • Best ending! Hope it will be a reality someday...

  • this ending brings me tears to the eyes. imagine a chance to stop this madness... we will find our way eventually, the world is better and better I've no doubt, but much has been lost already, life is disappearing specially where it is more abundant, the ocean. there's no turning back. our planet won't support life for eternity, and we r hastening its death. there won't be any living for us anywhere else. we can already see farther than we will ever b able to travel in space, and theres nothing.

  • @rlazera This madness was created because of choices like this.

  • Helios seemed cooler.

    Merging with a sentient AI overlord and becoming a

    veritable demigod? way awesome.

  • @mdnthrvst Become a living god? Why the fuck not!!

  • an incredible ending for the best game in history

  • The music rocks.

  • this is by far the coolest ending...

  • absolutely!

  • @jackass77780 It represents you perfectly.

  • That was my 1st ending I have chosen. I thought it would be the best choice, living without tyranny.

  • @andriusandrau same here found the other endings to be bad, specialy the "murging" ending.

  • @Templarofsteel18 I disagree

  • @Templarofsteel18 go ahead and "murge" yourself with nature, best thing about that, is that you die for it.

  • @andriusandrau What if you have chosen, created the tyranny that you mention. So you chose to go through tyranny all over again.

  • @andriusandrau and in total isolation, full freedom comes with a large price... Think about it I do not want to start a political debate currently

  • @andriusandrau I agree, although its a bit of a risky choice too

  • That Deus Ex-y chord at 0:50 gives me shivers. I love how they managed to work it in to nearly every piece of music in the game.

  • that's true

  • Thanks for the upload.
