 This if from metacritic.com (hope the formating works):
                                                         
                                        Critic score             User score

Baldursgate:                 91/100                     9.1/10
Baldurs gate 2:             95/100                     9.3/10
KOTOR:                          93/100                     8.9/10
Mass Effect:                   89/100                     8.5/10
Dragon Age:                  91/100                     8.4/10
Mass Effect2:                 94/100                    8.6/10
Dragon Age2:                82/100                    4.2/10
Mass Effect 3:               92/100                     3.3/10


Your are doing it wrong!
You are on the wrong track and you are alienating your fanbase, can it be any clearer? One more step in this direction and I think you’re in real trouble.  Constant adaptation to the lowest common denominator is simply not working.  I’ve always thought of Bioware games as a sure thing, if I saw one in the store I grabbed it knowing I would enjoy it, but not so anymore.

Thanks for reading

But all the critics seem to agree that the ending is bad!

Isn't ME3 getting review bombed on metacritic right now? I wouldn't really take user opinion on there as an end all be all on gamer satisfaction.

I'd take that chart with a grain of salt, a very small grain of salt.

Lulz! Metacritic is the most reliable source...

Anyone professional that gave this game a 100 deserves as much criticism as the users who gave it a zero. Both are ridiculous. As always the truth is in the middle.

The gameplay was good, and certainly deserved a score in the 90s, no doubt.

The ending and story however...oh ho ho. Reasonably it should all balance out to nothing higher than a 50.

After a couple of thousand reviews it actually tends to be the most reliable source.

Metacritic? Lol. No.

I'd take metacritic about as seriously as I would take that dwarf in your icon. The only place more up its own ass then metacritic is this forum I think.

Well, the Critics think ME3 is better then Baldur's Gate, Mass Effect, DA 1 and 2.

Oh wait...you mean USER scores. Yeah...only an idiot would confuse "idiotic user scores" with "interesting CRITIC scores."

Common mistake.

I'd take those scores with a grain of salt as well.

Regardless of how much or how little credence you place in metacritic polls, it's a fool who doesn't seek to question why.

I already know why.  Fanboys score-bomb games for the most childish reasons on that site all the time.  Thats all there is to it.

The truth, as with everything, lies somewhere in the middle.

Many of the supposedly professional critics, like IGN and Gamespot, completely miss out huge issues, like a terrible framerate on PS3, numerous bugs/glitches, very low texture quality and other stuff.

A lot of people didn't like ME3's ending. A lot of these people finished the game, and went to express their outrage at the ending via low scores.

The issue is that it's not a BAD game - in fact, it's a pretty bloody awesome game. Right until the last few minutes. And so the critic, which looks at the whole picture, gives decent marks based on the overall quality of the content, whereas the more casual user reacts to what they just went through.

Both perspectives are valuable. Both should be taken into account. If something is well-designed enough to warrant high critical review, it's probably quite good. If something is heavily panned by users, there's usually something wrong with it that bothers a lot of the player base.

I admire your resolve - I'm sure that's as good an interpretation as any other.

Funny...the same thing could be said about Skyrim...especially the PS3 version, and yet....Game of the Year.

Then why have all Bioware games up until Dragon age 2 very high user scores? Clearly people think that something went wrong with that game, and it seems to continue with mass effect 3

Riiiiight...because hundreds of "0" scores just scream out "valid user review"

And what makes a 10/10 more valid?

When it comes to reviews, there's no 'valid' and 'invalid'. It's a review, it's what someone thought of the game. Someone's opinion cannot, at a fundamental level, be cast off as invalid.
