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.

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

:/
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.
I agree wholeheartedly.

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.

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.Gigamantis wrote...

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.Super.Sid wrote...

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.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.
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.

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