You know what disappoints me? Consolisation. I'm a PC player, and I understand that everything needs to be simlified for a controler - I get that - but when you're on a PC having multiple actions bound to one button is a real pain in the arse.

Also; the writing. Drew Karpyshyn, I miss you. We all miss you. The damage is done to what you created and on behalf of everyone: I'm sorry.

  I just finish the whole game and I love it and it was epic, but yes I'm dissapointed, all three endings kind of suck in their own way and after the ending credits, my character was reset. 

Holy crap you've finished it and seen three endings already? How short is this game? 

  I just finish it today, I'll be posting my ending videos on youtube later.

I'm actually having trouble getting through the game right now. Just passed Sur'Kesh. It doesn't have the same allure that ME1 or 2 had for me. The story just seems weak; the only motivation I have going forward is seeing what happens to the characters. Also, I've read enough about people's reactions to the endings that I'm not really interested in seeing how things play out for Shepard.

All in all, it's a good game, but the story is probably the weakest part of it (which is kind of depressing, considering Bioware's reputation for good storytelling).

I'm most disappointed by the dialogue, though. Not much of it is very interesting; a lot of it basically amounts to characters repeating the same sentiments, "We'll get it done, Shepard" or "The Reapers are soooo powerful!" or "Cerberus is ruining mah day!" or "Nobody cares about the war!!! WTF?!?". On top of that, you have a massive amount of auto dialogue, and most of the interaction I've seen with squadmates on the Normandy triggers a few lines of auto-banter between Shepard and <insert squadmate>, skipping a proper cutscene entirely.

A lot of small character arcs are also handled poorly. Liara and Atheyta come to mind.

That's exactly how i feel. I absolutely hated Zaeed's dialogue. The worst thing that could ever happen for me in ME was to have that piece of crap integrated to all my squadmates in ME3.

I also have very serious issues with the sidequests. 90% of them consist of you hearing some auto-dialogue, going to some random planet in the depths of the galaxy, all because you heard some rumors of a random dude in need of an artifact.

One thing I'm seeing occassionally is the notion the game was rushed or the dev team didn't try as hard somehow. It's disheartening to see that because I can tell you the development team worked *incredibly* hard on the game, including a ton of personal sacrifice (hours worked, holidays skipped etc). This was a labor of love for the team and we're all very proud of what has been accomplished. There are bugs that got through (face import. we know ) but they are being investigated for fixing etc.

I think a fix to the endings is also needed if you want to calm down the angry mobs that have formed bcause of them.

[ChurchOfZod]

I think there are a couple of things that foster the notion that laziness was a factor. The main one being a stock photoshop resolution to a question that had been asked since ME1(keeping it vague for spoiler avoidance folks.) Obviously the game is very good, but the parts that aren't are brutal.

[Gigerstreak]

Other than a few bugs of characters looking far left/right or disappearing all together, pretty good game. I had it crash on my xbox twice, but given the stunning visuals and whatnot I wasn't upset. Like those developers I put a lot of hours, holidays, weekends into these games. A complete playthrough with all DLC from ME1, ME2, as both a Paragon Broshep and a Renegade Femshep takes a LOT of hours. I was invested in the game, felt for the characters, even resigned that I might give my life to make the galaxy a better place. I was telling all of my friends to get this game, to join me in its amazing storytelling and visuals. I bought the hat, the hoodie, the models of the ship, and collector's editions of every release. I even bought some for friends that couldn't afford it. And then.. in the last 5 min, it was all ruined for me. The lack of thought, the plot holes, the lack of any real choice... well it ruined it for me. I am not recommending this game, and I am putting away all of my art books and models because it is hard to look at them. 5 minutes ruined countless hours. If Bioware/EA would managed to update/DLC (and I would pay for a fix, even though I feel it should be free) the endings to something worthwhile I would change my mind. ME3 upheld the amazing universe that I came to love... and then made me despise it. I will not spoil the ending, but I will express that I am disappointed beyond measure. All that work... I feel bad for them. Hear us EA/BIOWARE... please, fix this. Please make it all a bad dream (no really, I suggest that the end be a bad dream).

[JusticarDoom]

 Shockingly, I love this game so far. The problems I thought I'd really despise the game for, I don't really mind too much!

Why is it, that great & talented writers have a tendency to get up and leave right in the middle of their stories? I'm speaking about the gaming industry specifically here, I mean is this a conspiracy? Are they being removed because they are too creative for their own good..? I've seen things like this happen frequently during the course of the past decade.

I think one reason we feel it was so rushed is because of the complete lack of closure. More questions were raised than were answered. I sincerely believed that the dev team worked hard on this, because the rest of the game was phenomenal. What killed it for so many people, including me, was the apparent lack of choice that we loved having in the other two games, and the very confusing ending. Shepard having to die and destroying or controlling the reapers wasn't the issue for me--it was the lack of coherent sense I received from the ensuing events. Most notably for me, the Normandy crashing on a random planet with the team that had just been on Earth, and presumably hit by the reaper's killbeam. I didn't understand that in the slightest. Additionally, I don't understand why the mass relays had to be destroyed--and based on what we saw in the Arrival DLC, any systems with a mass relay were consequently destroyed, because we weren't given any reason to suspect otherwise. We have no idea what's happened to all the races stranded in the Sol system, or any other system, if any of them survived the relays, or planned to rebuild--none of that was explained. I want to be very clear that I thoroughly enjoyed the game right up until the Catalyst, and have no doubts the team worked hard. But I fully understand why some think the ending was rushed or lazy. From what I can gather, it was the lack of clarification and closure to what is such an epic series. The lack of free choice in comparison to the other games, the lack of the wildly diverse endings that were advertised, and the rendering of past game decisions all but useless.

I had high hopes for this game. My bad.

I'm not disappointed in the least. I love this game. Absolutely love it. I have about 15 hours played right now (not including many reloads, vanguard + insanity + FREAKING CERBERUS TURRET SPAM OMG = a reasonable about of reload time). It's by far my favorite of the series, and I loved ME2.

My only problems with the game are the mission journal (that doesn't update as you do missions and, in general, isn't very helpful), and the various guys that do melee instant kills when I can't see it coming. And that's it. I don't think any game before this has actually made me cry (TWICE, even, and I'm not even halfway done), or made me laugh as much. The meme references are all great, the characters are great, writing is great, combat is fantastic.

I could not ask for a better game. Well done, BioWare.

It's funny, seeing what I wrote two days ago, before I witnessed the ending(s).  I was so full of hope.  I stayed that way, right until the last 10 minutes...

Now, yes I am disappointed.  1% of the game ruined the other 99%, and have basically killed any desire to replay it (only reason I am is because I hear there's a different ending for NG+).

[deamon deathstone1]

The endings suck, so yeah I'm disapointed.

[Mr.Snithums]

The last 5 minutes of Mass Effect 3 destroyed the more than 300 hours I've put into playing and replaying this amazing series. Its too bad it ended on such a sour note because the rest of ME3 was absolutly incredible. Disappointed is a bit of an understatement.

[Xellith]

Loved it till the end... then I did this...

[chaldry]

Listen. People wouldn't have these strong emotions and then post them on the forums if they didnt like the game. They love it. I love it. The battles we fought against the Reapers and Cerberus, the chance of all intelligent organic life getting exterminated by machines if Shepard cannot unite the galaxy. It was awesome. And no mission felt the same. Everything was perfect.

And then came the last 15 minutes of the game...

After 6 hours of game play, sadly I can say I'm a little depressed. I mean, it's an okay game still, but lacks the feeling the last two installments have. Not being to see my Shepards face again from ME1 in ME3 kinda took away the "emotional" attachment. (I don't even know who you are!!) Auto-Dialog. I think Ashley was right about Cerberus controlling Shepard, I barely have input in what he says! Even the neutral option is gone, when a selection of dialog actually pops up. Is it me or is Liara ugly now? Characters look different now. Can't tell of its for better or worse yet. Combat is fun, as a big player of all three Gears of War I see a slight resemblance but not how they say. Anyway, just my opinion.

You think thats bad? wait till the ending

Yup, this is it.  Very few people have disliked the majority of the game, but I've seen maybe 1 in 50 that liked (or at least didn't vehemently dislike) the endings.  It's a shame how those few minutes completely destroy not only ME3, but ME1 and ME2 as well.

Jarret, we do not doubt the love that went into this game. However we all feel a loss with the ending of the game, granted that was to be expected with such a great series ending. But many of us would have liked a (albeit a bit cheesy) "happily ever after" ending.

Regardless of what I and others think of the ending. The game is magnificent and you all deserve accommodations.

Love the game thus far. Incredible storyline, though I dislike not having more options on the dialogue "tree". One thing I absolutely hate though is that my ears are green and my hands too and the illusive man has his face painted with green lines, Braveheart anyone? I suppose its supposed to be some kind of shadow, but they really messed that up. And then the ususal me looking somewhere else than on the person I'm talking to and suddenly floats towards a waal and end up getting stuck in it.

But I learned something from this. Never, EVER buy a Bioware game unless it's one year old. Then they fixed the bugs. Hopefully.

Nice effort though. I just go back to Skyrim now. better graphic, better dialogue, better game. Better luck next time Bioware.

[stysiaq]

Oh my. Why I entered these forums again. Now I know I'll probably be disappointed with the ending.

and I love the game being about 5h into it.

Well sorry that you feel bad that we think the end product of your labor is a lame duck at best. You have a right to feel proud of your work, and we have a right to hate the end result of that work.

[ebevan91]

Really the only thing I'm disappointed with is the way it ends. I'm not even through with the game yet but I've accidentally stumbled across spoilers (on this site and other sites), so I kinda know how it ends.

One other thing that kinda annoys me, is that most of the side missions are fetch quests now, items you get just by scanning planets, or items you pick up during other missions.

You must understand, and I think I can speak for most of the ME fans, is that the ME3 game is incredible, excellent. But when it gets to the last 12 minutes of the game, everything sort of bombed. We love the BW team for making this incredible franchise... but my god the ending. The ending! The last thing I would want to do is hurt the team's feelings, but most of us want to see an alternative if possible...

I am 7 hours in, taking my time. So far, I am hooked. I love it even though yes, it isn't as polished as the first two games. The auto-dialogue bothers me, but not as much as I thought it would. Overall I am enjoying enormously.
