    Mass Effect 2

    Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010

    After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.

    Could the events Mass Effect have taken place in the past?!

    what would be better is if at the end they all realised they were being watched over by a higher being, and learn't they were in a game, then the camera would pan out, to outside of your tv and it would be like, right behind you and you'd turn around and it would kill you and that would be the end.
     
    After that you'd go to put the controller down but you can't because you know... you'd be like... dead.

    I could imagine some kind of scene like this happening...

    And then the galaxy collapses on itself or something.

    Yeah, the worst part was that I joked about that the story was in the past and that we're all cylons for a long time. Ugh... ruined the whole series.

    This isn't Star Wars. 
     
    I think that if you read the timeline it lists stuff that's already happened in reality.  And I remember at some point they talk about WWII, or the Civil War or something.

    Considering the fact that a Cerberus crew member talks about his family back in San Francisco, and one of the Cerberus Network updates was about future american football, I highly doubt there's a "this is the past!!" twist.

    Yeah, I despised the ending too. Such a cop out!

    Just one example of this, in Mass Effect 1 they talk about a nuclear bomb being the size of the bomb that blew up Nagasaki.

    @Cheapoz: Considering the humans are from earth and the timeline is well documented that isn't going to happen.

    I can't believe you guys think this is out of the realms of possibility. 
     
    Is there anything to say that after the reapers 'do their business' they don't just reset the galaxy to go down the same path as before?

    Well, that's how it happens in my ME3 Fan Fic, so that's how it's going to stay.

    " A better gasp moment that has been stewing in my head, is that the tech used to bring back Shepard was salvaged tech from Sovereign. Making Shepard part reaper. "
    I was thinking that too, maybe the reapers will not kill Shepard because he's is the perfect mix of reaper and another alien species.
