There is no option of playing the game with the goal of destroying the Universe and aiding the reapers. Thats like wanting to play Halo with the goal of helping the Covenant.
I talked poorly.

But can you not just be a dick the entire series, helping as few people as possible, choosing every renegade option, then choosing the most devastating ending in the final game? I know that isn't "helping the Reapers" literally, because they want to harvest life to make synthetic life - and if anything, synthesis would probably be helping the Reapers - but I just meant in the "saving as little as possible" sense.

Just because the Reapers are invading doesn't mean your goal is to repel them. Hell, one of the final options is to control them. Maybe if your evil you're hoping to control them and destroy more things. Who knows. Maybe you're hoping that synthesis is helping the Reapers. Maybe you want the Earth to be engulfed in a ring of flame. Who knows. Maybe you wanted Sovereign to succeed in the original game. Maybe you wanted the Geth to overthrow the Quarians. Who knows, man!

And if you like clarification how can you like the ending of ME3? Barely anything was clarified there.
joshin' aside - I got to play this game after being with Dylan while he went through all his stages of grief with the ending of the game, and the holes presented and whatnot. So I had already reached the acceptance stage before even installing the game into my system. I'd already heard about the shitty experiences, so I wasn't concerned. While I was playing I was far angrier at all the technical glitches I got. Nothing more anger-fying than rolling (for transport) into a barrier and instantly dying, or getting stuck on walls and corners that you wouldn't think you'd be able to get your character stuck on.

But Dylan made the good comment of [paraphrased] "It bugged me that when you die, the story just ends like that. But I'm okay with it now. It's the story of you as Shepard, and when you die, the story is over."
