Refuse cannot be justified. Too much effort was put into stopping the Reapers to just let them kill trillions when the means to stop them are right in front of you. The next cycle beats them?? Why wait til the next cycle when you could save trillions RIGHT NOW? Refuse is basically siding with Harbinger. Shepard betrays all galactic civilivation, everyone he knows and loves; condemning them all to an unnecessary death. I think Bioware was trolling fans who didn't like the ending choices :) "Don't want to choose from these 3? Then sit there like a lil beotch and let the reapers win."lol
Let's see... Earth's infrastructure is non-existent. Millions, if not billions, have died on Earth alone. The Geth and EDI were killed. And you think it's a fairy tale ending because 1 couple in the galaxy reunite? The two other endings have no real sacrifice. For Control Ending, God-Shepard rebuilds everything via REapers and acts as galaxy police force to keep the peace and prevent organic genocide or, in Synthesis, everyone becomes immortal super beings with Reapers sharing knowlegde of countless cultures(i.e utopia). Where is the payoff for Destroy? In which you have to exterminate the Geth and kill EDI along with the reapers. But it doesn't have a complete feel since Shepard can survive, but it doesn't really confirm his fate. We can make assumptions, but after three games with this much character investment a "cliffhanger" is just lame to place at the end of a trilogy. I think Synthesis and Control are fine and wrap up sheaprd's story. Just not destroy which leave it up to the imagination. Just my 2 cents.
