I see several 10s. According to those reviews ME3 is one of the best games ever made.


I'm sorry, but no.

4.5/5 stars on XBL. I don't understand the users at Metacritic. Perhaps the cloaca margarine is a constipation agent? I'm having a great time, myself.

How can you guys not see that every single one of those reviewers was paid off? EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. All the players who gave it good reviews too. EA sent me a prostitute for my opinion.

Seriously though. Yes, there is corruption in gaming journalism. Not all review outlets are corrupt, though. That's why the best thing to do is look at a breadth of reviews and actually read the reviews.

I agree with a lot of the good reviews, and from my experience ME3 is definitely a GOOD game, but I'm somewhat mystified with numerous reviews claiming that the ending is deeply satisfying for most fans. Actually that specific phrase, "deeply satisfying" shows up a lot. Not just a few, but many reviews claim this, which just strikes me as odd given the negative fan reaction on these forums and elsewhere.

Well at least one notable exception: "...and the finale might frustrate fans who have stuck with the series since the beginning - some might even consider it lazy. It’s hard to knock the actual game..." -Thunderbolt

Most of the game is pretty good, so I agree with most of the things the "professional reviewers" praise the game for. But when you take a good game and throw together one of the worst endings to anything I've seen, read or played in a long time. Yeah.....in my opinion it takes away a lot of what made the game good in the first place.

:/

Edit: 
Also the replay value is so low it's not even funny. At least Single Player. I don't want to go through that ending again. No matter what, I get a pretty unsatisfactory ending. All the choices throughout the series are ignored so most of us unsatisfied with the ending, have no reason to want to play again because you'll get a depressive ending no matter what. So perhaps that puts in a different perspective.

How can this be so well-reviewed when the import feature doesn't work for those who've been playing this trilogy from the beginning? Obviously these reviewers are not qualified to review this product if they're giving it scores like these when there are major problems with this game.

Not something I like to say as this is an amazing game from an amazing franchise, and I am a die hard Bioware gamer.   Why would EA tank the franchise with such a horrible ending, it makes the ratings pointless, what canon fan is going to bother buying another ME title now.  It is on par with Manning being released from the Colts, I am Hoosier, but no longer am I a Colts fan.  Alot of my friends, and people who bought the first 2 games on these forums seem to agree with me.  I had a fear with Dragon Age 2 about a slide, but I thought a flagship game like ME3 would dispell it.  The ending really doesn't stack up to the gameplay and story leading up to it.  I mean really just make an ending that finishes that story then bomb a future title of a Mass Effect spinoff with such a lousy concept ending.  Every moment leading up to the end was amazing, and top notch, and the gameplay was excellent.  However the ending................  The top selling DLC for this game would be a new ending.

I remember seeing the same results for DA2 so ill get back to you with my own review after I buy it second hand.


That would be because EA purchased those reviews. DA2's scores effectively prove it. I just can't believe any reviewer who wasn't paid and has actually invested even a small bit of their energy in this series could give it a good score with the current endings.

You realize the ending is a very small, insignificant percent of the game, right?

The game IS good, but these maxed out reviewers are just as bad as those that toss out 0s and 1s.

There are a few issues, some personal and some non personal from me that would never allowed it into a 9/10, endings withstanding for that matter.

You order a savoury soup from the restaurant only to find a fly in it.
Would you still have it ? You realize the fly is a very small, insignificant part of the soup, right?

It's a hugely significant part of the game because it's the culmination of  everything that you've done up until then. If you've no emotional  interest in the series I can understand a high score because just about all the rest of the game sounds pretty awesome. With  it it feels like finding a dead mouse in the bottom of a bowl when finishing a meal you've really enjoyed or, as someone else said in  another thread, a journey to a funeral. That'll affect dedicated fans far more than reviewers so I can understand where both are coming from without needing to make accusations about being paid.

Mass Effect 3 was amazing up until the very end and then the entire game - nay - the entire trilogy has been ruined.  All your chocies count for nothing and ultimately you are offered a contrived piece of trash.

The ending of mass effect 3 is a direct insult to my intellegence.

When it comes to food preparation hygiene is important.  A fly in your soup implies your food was prepared in a less then sanitary fashion and may be contaminated beyond what you see.  It's not an apt comparison. 

It's a hugely significant part of the game because it's the culmination
of  everything that you've done up until then. If you've no emotional 
interest in the series I can understand a high score because just about
all the rest of the game sounds pretty awesome. With  it it feels like
finding a dead mouse in the bottom of a bowl when finishing a meal
you've really enjoyed or, as someone else said in  another thread, a
journey to a funeral. That'll affect dedicated fans far more than

to make accusations about being paid.

Reviews require emotional levity.  You being, by your own admittance, too emotionally invested to rate the game on it's actual merits invalidates any attempt you make to critique the game.  Quite honestly, it's why professonal reviews are so much better than user ones. 

I would give the game a high score despite a bad ending and my investment in the series because I have perspective.  It's a game and no one ruined my life by ending the series in a way I deem insufficient.  If the rest of the game is good I will still consider it a good game.

So in the same way the game was prepared in a rushed and incomprehensible fashion

The emotional investment is a large part of the appeal of ME that raises it above the run-of-the-mill stuff and because that has, so far, always been one of its big merits it can also be one of its big failings. Playing games has always been about emotion - excitement and frustation in the early days but now we've got the technology to make games that can appeal to other emotions too. It's the combination of all of those that I get from playing them that makes me want to (or not want to) play them. It's no different from a film or a book in that respect.

While I do find this game incredibly enjoyable, I myself simply cannot believe any of the reviews because of the import bug. Until this bug is fixed the game should not be reviewed higher then a 7/10. The immersion factor is just gone because of this. Only 1 of 11 Sheps. imported to the 3rd game. They are all from ME1. Once this bug is fixed the game is easily a 9/10.

You played through the entire game before getting to the ending, so you tell me. Was the whole game rushed and incomprehensible or just the ending?
