Mass Effect 3's ho-hum finale is now a low point in video games

Yeah, I don't think Priestly will be adding this to the first post. He hasn't added anything for the last two weeks. I can't say I blame him.

Yeah Bioware in general has buried their heads in sand.

[CrazyIvan93]

To me, I feel like the critics didnt really care about the characters or universe enough to care about the ending to be honest. That and most of the reviewers were bribed (Jessica Chobot in ME 3 = 9.5/10 from IGN )

Honestly, we will not hear anything from BW/EA until PAX. They are all probably under a gag order. Either wrapping up something to be released pretty soon or figuring out what spin to put on the public outcry. In case they planned a release all along, if they say something now, they might as well not show up for PAX. If nothing was planned, playing coy until PAX gives them some time to regroup.

True gamers and not paid hacks finally get a chance to review it and all you can hear coming from Bioware is the sounds of crickets. Guess they are no longer bragging about all of the positive pansy press reviews.

zero replay value at the moment, but good game

[deamon deathstone1]

So, do ya think it's the critisism that unstickied the thread?

Most likely.

I guess their hypocrisy does have some limits.

Why is Jarrett Lee's misleading multiplayer/endings thread still stickied? Why was there never an official stickied "Origin will be required to play ME3" thread?

I "wondered" this too. Because it couldnt be because they wanted it to bleed out and end up in anonymity. I mean... they stand by the "artistic vision" ™ of ME?

Metacritic user scores:
4.9/10 with 2,200+ scores submitted (Xbox)
3.8/10 with 2,600+ scores submitted (PC)
3.8/10 with 800+ scores submitted (PS3)

These scores are after Metacritic aggressively deleted negative reviews, too, so these are the "best-case" scores for Bioware.  Originally they were as low as 2.2/10.

Amazon.com:
1 star out of 5 most common vote for ME3 products 

That's a pretty brutal customer response right there.  But hey, publications funded in part by EA advertising money gave it good reveiws so it's all OK, right?

indeed.

Does this count as a press review? 

[LeBurns]

I'm surprised the thread didn't just get deleted. I really wish they would do something to J Lee's thread though.

[Big Jack Shepard]

LOL this thread is unpinned LOL

<snicker>

[fearan1]

Hmm.Hopefully this unsticky bodes well for PAX or I could be reading to much into it lol . Mass effect 3 deserves a a proper ending please make it so .

[BigZ7337]

Lol, they unstickied this thread, that is so weird. Yet they kept the thread about multiplayer not being required to get the best ending, a blatant lie.

[cotheer]

Sneaky move.
This way, the thread will be soon lost in a sea of other threads, so new people coming here won't see it.

^This.

I don't think I've ever seen such a huge disparity between general player (dis-)satisfaction and the professional critical reviews ... in any media (books movies whatever).  

This is telling, and I suppose reflects the disparity between an extremely good 95% of a game, and an extremely bad ending 5%.  

Basically for anyone invested in the story - meaning the players and fans and not the critics - the extremely terrible ending will cause more damage to their rating than the mitigating previous 95% of the game.  

But if Bioware can be trusted to have good sense here, they should be more concerned by the customer reviews (and not the critics), for the players pay for their business.
