I'm actually not that surprised by all that's been going on with EA/Bioware in the last few years. They have effectively managed to ****** off a rather large portion of their (former) fanbase. Stuff like Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect: Deception (and some developers paraising it before it released), forcing Origin on PC gamers, intrusive DRM meassures, unethical or at very best questionable day-one dlc, and I could go on. All this stuff definitelly didn't help with their reputation over the years and it's only natural people will protest in any way they can. And I feel the metacritics user reviews are just that, protests. I bet most of them don't even hate ME3 all that much, but rather have an issue with EA/Bioware because of their questionable business over the past few years. I can't really say I blame them.

There are also lots of fake 9/10 and 10/10 reviews

Yeaah, another reason why I don't go to Metacritic. Impossible to get a true average.

One could say that they do indeed average in an intelligent way in the end. I'm inclined to think that the end average won't be "bad", although I couldn't care less about it. It seems people are incapable of feeling the way they want to feel about a game if everyone else doesn't feel the same. People are really annoyed if the other sheep don't eat the same grass they do, it's amazing.

i thinks this is for the Error bug of facecodes...

Bioware patch this please.

Not just the face code, some people can't even import their ME2 saves at all.  I have A  LOT saves, and only have two available to import, no femsheps, neither of my canon games.  People have played these games for years and when they get to the finish line they can't finish their games.  If it's on thing Bioware should have made sure they got right, it was the import. 

If I would have reviewed the game last night I probably would have giving it something very, very low, I was that mad.

Blame them?

That is irrelevant. And so is the current "status quo" between EA and its custumers. There's a lot of bullpoop going on, it almost seems like soccer club fandom propaganda against team X or Y. I guess the more "emotionally" attaching games are able to be, the more irrational rage and idiocy gets spread around like wildfires.

So it's probably good news to the gaming landscape. If gaming was half as bad as the whiners are proposing, we wouldn't even be raging about it. I mean, does anyone rage this much with facebook games?

About 95% (crappy estimate) of negative reviews on Metacritic for big name games are troll reviews. Don't bother with the site.

Problem is , publishers DO bother. 0/10 reviews guarantee a non-purchare or an extra used copy in the market. Plus a site that gets a gazillion hits that features a big flashing number which essentially craps on your product is a big deal. Most gamers are casual buyers are best, and lending Metacritic credence and hits by constantly referencing and linking to it makes things worse. If you disagree with the way MC works , do yourselves a favor and ignore it Don't mention it and don't link to it.

Secondly, I do believe it's the pirate community infesting the internet. Most of these people also believe that life and everything else is for free. Thirdly, gamers from both the EU and Australia are soon up for the fight (8th mars). In the end pirate and troll's opinions doesn't count because they are not paying anyway why should they have a say.

up until now they made us believe that pirates were responsible for the decline of the game's business by copying games. now they're destroying the whole business just with bad mouthing. wow, those people have to be demigods...

me3 is just a bad and horrible polished product, face it. it even accomplished to be worse than me2. ea edmonton has fallen flat and they won't recover.

Dear Semper, I allways read your opinion with interest, even when I disagree. The pirate blame game is bulls@it but the metacritic score is bulls@it too. It does not say anything about EA edmonton: it is clearly a raid made by angry fans for whatever reason. Then I have to play ME3 being in Europe and the game could be bad or good but these score is ridiculous nonetheless.

Time for Bioware to to submit their own reviews again.

Those useless trolls ****** me off. ME3 ain't perfect, but now I'm about 10 hours in and it is not disappointing. The big story moments make up for all the flaws, and they are truly spectactular both in scope and execution.

Most those 0 reviews on metacritic are just by angry nerds trying to pretend theyre important by bashing EA, they haven't even played the game.

[TheLeoMan]

meta critic is the most unreliable source of user reviews ever......just search BF3 or MW3

You might as well rename Metacritic to Metabridge for all the trolls that are attracted to it. It doesn't help that its easy to create 4 or 5 Metacritic accounts so you can spam 0s on a game. ME3 is actually making a come back, it was at 2.2 in the early afternoon.

I thought metacritic was where people gave their genuine and honest reviews of games. If a game has a low user metacritic score doesn't that mean it's rubbish. If a game has a high critic score doesn't that suggest bribery? I thought people were giving honest reviews. I never realised people trolled!!!

You have NO idea.   Kind of sad really.

The problem is, the same idiots who are willing to rate a game 0 or 1 just because they absolutely love to feel, act, and spread their miserable attitudes are the same people that pirate games from the internet. So, undoubtedly, some of them did play the game, though few legitimately bought it. You can always see which one are the ones here who do the same, they defend the user reviews of metacritic and spout their hate everywhere and never have any games authorized to their account. Wonder why?

Point is, Bioware games are getting popular, some people just love to hate on things that are popular regardless of how good the game actually is. Anyone with a lick of sense (and who has played) DA2 or ME3 could not rate the games a 0 or 1, it's just a bunch of pirating trolls with nothing better to do with their lives but spread their hate propoganda on the internet because their lives are too pathetic to do anything else.

At terdferguson123 Pirating Trolls. With troll faces, funny swagger and loads of daft remarks. Now I have an image of Captain Jack Sparrow. Drunken Pirate Troll making fun of Penolope Cruz.

Is Mass Effect 3 really that bad?

[BatmanPWNS]

I know that ME3 might not be the best game ever but really? Giving it a 0? So you're saying this game is worse than, oh I don't know, Superman 64 or something? I can see why there is criticism but I don't see how it can be 0/10.

[Pinnatus]

Metacritic, lawl.

Why would anyone take that site seriously? It's too easy to game it and people with an axe to grind and lots of time on their hands will.

[Slashice]

It seems ME3 means the end of BioWare? Nevermind, will be able to play the game on Friday and we'll see how good is it... untill then I won't start pre-judging...

But if the game sucks I'll stop buying any BioWare games (and also EA) in the future.

[Mirajin]

ME3 isn't bad by any means. Just don't expect it to blow ME2 out of the water, and you'll be fine.

[Cazlee]

Wow that's unexpected since the forum here is pretty tame.
The player reviews seem way more "trolly" and less specific than DA2's.

ME3 is the best of the series, in my opinion. Once you are about 15-20 hours in on the game, the story. Just wow. The story! XD

Perfect? No. Best game I've ever played? So far, yes.

Before ME3 I always had a hard time choosing among: The Longest Journey: Dreamfall, Half Life 2, ME1 & 2, Total Annihilation, Phantasy Star 4 for that 'title'. ME3 dominates them all.

[Travie]

A lot of people have MANY genuine issues with ME3, but I don't see how spamming 0 scores helps.

Just give an honest review and if it is low, score it that way... but not 0. 0 = troll in my mind.

[aksoileau]

I don't like metacritic user scores because 0, 1, and 2 scores are so horribly off. There are no AAA titles out there that can reasonably score that low. IMO the lowest you can give a AAA title is a 5, the rest is just trolling to try and make a point and justify that the aggregate score overall means something.

Personaly I think its about a 5/10.

Honestly I don't see how they thought they could get away with a lot of the things they did in it.

Why do you say that, I don't think it deserves a 1 or 0 but saying just because it's a AAA title means 5 or more isn't right. This games is buggy and as a mass effect game it doesn't mesure up, or at least thats what i think. People need to get off of the 8-10 game review scale.
