wait.... those were "side missions"? i just thought my shepard got a job/inherited the job of being the UPS man for the galaxy or something ;):lol:

I was extremely dissapointed when I discovered the majority of rescue missions just required scanning planets, oh look, I found a cruiser, oh look I found some snipers, why could we not get down in the dirt and rescue these assets.


Yep. This was very dissapointing.

But besides the ending, things like the lack of signaling in the galaxy maps, the lack of updates on your mission logs (maybe they thought that it would be good for us to write everything down by hand...), for example, were very distressing. I imagine that if you played the game straight for 50 hours you could remember everything. But since some of us have to work and raise a family, and the games take weeks, going back to your journal and finding no clue about where the thing is supposed to be, was very frustrating. The journals were clearly rushed and uncomplete. It would be terribly dissapointing if they don't fix it.


Again, this begs the question: Why did they rush ME3 out the door? None of us would have complained if Bioware said that they were pushing the release date back in order to make the game more polished and better. Honestly, it probably would have fixed the ending and everything else!:mellow:

One of the few things I think the community misinterpreted rather than was overhyped.  We -can- fly to planets, and choose if we want to land on certain ones.

I say misinterpret here because he says "as before" and the only system that was there before was the galaxy map/land system which is still there.

Nope, I played the game straight for 2 days and still couldn't remember. I mean, sometimes they don't even tell you what you are looking for, and when you scan it and find it, but you can't really tell which one you found after scanning 10 different planets. Also, you pick up side quests randomly, and you never know where you got it after walking around the Citadel so much.

The journal was the worst part of the gameplay. They NEED to fix it. Seriously.

edit: i liked ME2 side missions better, at least some of them felt like actual side missions


That's because they were side missions. Like ME1 side missions. Loyalty missions were (technically) side missions too. And they were great.

I would have classified it as a regression bug.. it was working in ME2... nothing changed that I could see, and yet it broke in ME3... kinda brings back the saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" lol :P

Seriously! They screwed over a promising product in an attemp to pad out their Fisical Year? What are they going to do in 2012 then! God, you'd think these guys would think before making decisions like this.

I think for me, the Journal issue was my second biggest gripe about the game. If I hadn't had the bloody guide, I would have never figured out where the heck everything was or went. Annoying to no end.

Thanks, you made the point sound even more seriously. And yes, there's no doubt that the journal needs some serious work on it. It's just maddening.

The journal and galaxy map were just great on ME2. It's very hard not to think that the horrible journal and map on ME3 happened because of lack of time. I really don't want to think that anyone on BW thought that those were even mediocre. They were much worst than that. Rushing it is the only explanation. And the best for the company. Any other would signify a lack of respect.
