I have a question.

Who cares about Metacritic?

I, for one, don't...
Of the various games I have, there isn't a single one I bothered reading a review/metacritic score beforehand...

I gather bits on what the game is about and how the gameplay and story flow from various sources and make my decision, then simply play the game and see for myself.
In this sort of things I like to form my opinions, so far it has worked perfectly well...

Metacritic shouldn't allow user reviews until 4-7 days after release. It would prevent this kind of bombing. Pretty disappointed in the community, myself. Glad at least some of it is getting cleaned up.

One problem is people were posting impersonating EA staff (me included - ugh). Granted, most people know it's BS, but still - that's not ok, right?

It's alright Jarrett. I know you have to say that to keep face in the office. If you actually thought the game deserved a 0, then we can respect that.

I kid, I kid!

Well, I am glad they removed the reviews that are not accurate. For me, the problem is detecting what is or is not an "accurate" review.

As Jarrett mentioned, there were cases of people who had created accounts under names of BioWare staff and gave ME3 a zero. There were also cases that definitely were people deliberately trying to hurt ME3 for whatever reason without any actual validity to their complaint. However, it is possible that some "real" reviews were also deleted and this is wrong. While I would disagree with people who say ME3 is a bad game, I am for their ability to do so IF they have a valid complaint and can explain why it isn't good.

Personally, I think ME3 is a damned good game. I would give it a 9 or 9.5 overall (I am also of the opinion that a perfect 10 is pretty much unachievable). I would also say that no game deserves a zero and certainly not ME3. I can remember a semi-truck driving game where, among other problems, you could drive infinitely fast in revers, drive up the side of mountains, and have your head & tail lights leave your truck. This game only rated a 2 on metacritic, but it still wasn't a zero.

It is a problem on metacritic and similar sites that people with actual valid complaints and dislikes are having their complaints ignored due to "trolls" who are using the sites to only casue problems. Until thise can be fixed, I'm not sue what the solution can be.

However you advertised an RPG and while I would endorse ME3 as a great game. It's an awful RPG It no longer supports the Shepard personality established through ME/2.

In fact I've taken to playing it as an Inferior Final Fantasy, Yay action mode ! 

Because FF gives you choice of character personality right?

Shouldnt really have been deleted.

Most were probably disgruntled fans of elements in ME, which bioware pretty much phased out to make the game more "accessable" to a wider audience.

But in time it'd balance out.

I think that people should be rating any game for what it is, not for what it should have been. This isn't the first time that a sequel has been blasted in user reviews - look at metacritic scores for Crysis 2, DA2 and Supreme Commander 2. All three games took different directions compared to their prequels. And all three by most regards unfortunately ended up over-simplifying core game mechanics. The end result were sequels that weren't as good as the original. But that doesn't mean that the sequels were bad games. They were actually good games if judged by themselves. 

Take Supcomm 2. I played SupComm 1, loved it and thought it was the next great step forward in RTS gaming. Then few years later, I tried the demo for Supcomm 2, and realized that they had dumbed it down ridiculously. In all fairness though, Supcomm 2 was a good game - it just wasn't as great a game as Supcomm 1. 

I understand that some fans of the ME universe are dissappointed by the direction that Bioware took with ME3. I'm dissapointed too by some aspects of ME3. But that doesn't mean that I think ME3 is an awful game worthy of a 0 rating and that Bioware is an evil studio, thinking into the night of new ways of how to dissappoint its fans. It's still a great game, just not as great as it could have been. The game should be judged for what it is, not for what it should have been. And user scores of 0 shouldn't be used as a way of venting frustration.

Review Bombing or whatever it is called needs to stop it does nothing but harm the industry

The industry I don't know, as actually even the "I vote with my purse" doesn't seems to works anymore (well, at least it seems less considered that the "if it works in another game, we should copy it"), so if it could have any effect on the industry it would be great.
What I don't understand is why people still watch sites which gives 10 like candies.

Tried and tested formula.

Even in industry, re-engineering gets more funding than innovation just because you do not know the outcome of innovation but u are damn sure of an outcome in re-engineering.

Considering this Dragon Age 3 will be a Skyrim rip-off coz Skyrim was successful.

You read my mind, as while writing those words I was thinking about what I read on Wikipedia about DA3.

But even Skyrim suffers issues. Yes the scenery is great but a lot of areas are reused, most of the time the game is stuck in loading screens,story not too great and many quests bugged

About time, trolls will be trolls I guess.

No, which was kind of the point of the comparison.

The internet is a cold, brutal place.

You need a thick skin in this unforging hole and you still will get chewed up and spat out if you make one false move, even the most powerful, strongest and rich people are not safe, they can have their life ruined in one false move.

On here, you have no friends.

On here, you are alone.

On here, you are a target.

Mass Effect 3, in no way, deserves a 0. To be honest, while I've only played the demo, I wouldn't have given in anything less than a 7/10.

Let me put this into perspective.

I did not like Dragon Age: Origins. I was promised a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate II. I don't feel that I got that. It was not a throwback to the "old school" style of RPG, it was still a very modern game in every sense of the word. I have a single play-through and doubt I will ever have another.

That being said, I can't call it a bad game. I didn't care for it but it was still a quality game. My issues with it where not based on the actual game but personal taste. If I was to review it with a number score, I'd likely give it a 7.5/10.

EDIT:  Also, websites are privately owned.   Freedom of speach does not apply.  If I owned a forum, I could ban you just because I don't like your user name and while I might be a ****** in doing so I would be within my rights.

If so many people are 100% behind the game then why aren't their equal number of people posting their own user reviews?

Because...uh....they are PLAYING the game rather than wasting their time on the Internet. Hate is a mug bigger motivator, sadly. Especially unreasonable hate.

RIght, just like you are? If they posted here that means they took time away from the game to check the forums. If they have the time for that, then they can go give an opinion on metacritic too (take literally less than 60 seconds).

Could make quite an interesting game. Amular was solid but lacking in fleshing out. Something Bioware is a good at. Amular is also note worthy since I never came across any bugs and very few glitches compared to ME3.

[Maria Caliban]

Not only is this a private website (not a public space) but BioWare is a Canadian company. The First Amendment is meaningless to them.

[furryrage59]

So they're censoring the marks they don't like huh.

Interesting.
