I thought the game was pretty amazing and doesn't deserve the flack it has received; just because people didn't like the ending. I thought they made some great improvements to the combat and I thought they did a really good job of incorporating my decisions in ME1/2 throughout the game.

[majinstrings]

Yeah, except for the ending, I absolutely loved this game! Definitely the most exciting and emotional entry in the series...
There were a few things that I would've liked handled differently but overall, the good far outweighed the bad...
...ignoring the ending...

 It was an amazing game, the only things that really got me annoyed was

• Removal of Neutral Choice
• The Auto-Dialouge
• The swapping discs for missions (instead of having half the game on one and half on the other)
• Lack of dialogue with Virmire Survivor. (On the Normandy)

This, but I replaced the lack of romance options (because I honestly don't really care about that) with:

It's no doubt an amazing game. I'm replaying it at the moment, and whenever I get immersed to the point where I forget about the ending it's a blast to play. It's a shame the damn kid and the dream sequences keep reminding me.

There's truth to a lot of the complaints everyone's listed in this thread, but they're completely forgivable. Mass Effect 1 and 2 both had their share of problems, too, and that doesn't stop them from being masterpieces.

I realize folks are angry because of the ending situation, and I'm literally losing sleep over what may or may not be revealed at PAX, but it's honestly kind of painful to see the excellent 98% of the game get so much flak because of it.

I think it's been established already that we all loved the game, but most of us didn't like the ending. Bioware isn't run by children, I think they can take the criticism, especially while getting paid. I'm not going to spend time licking their boots about an overall good product, nor complaining about a hasty ending. My money speaks for itself. They're not going to stop making products just because of this.

Very good game overall as expected, although for me, still the weakest in the ME series (even without the terrible ending).

-Too much auto-dialogue
- Import issues shocking
- Disc swapping for 360 was not well done
- Journal broken
- Still issues with cover/combat system (too sticky, not fluid)
- Elimination of real exploration and side missions
- Forced Multiplayer
- War Assets could've been handled better

Most of the game was engaging as we all come to expect. I won't say I'm really disappointd, as my expectations were not through the roof for this one. Some issues hopesully are patched.

I heard the voyage of the Titanic was 98% excellent too.

i loved the game right untill i got to the last 10 minutes.  the horrible ending basically overited any fun i had previously.

[kalle90]

Sure. I'd give it 8 or 9 out of then. Still, the fetch quests, lack of dialogue (choices) etc. nudge the game pretty hard anyway.

[Visserian99]

I absolutely loved it, I thought it was ready to take the crown from ME2 as the best in the series. As well as name it my favorite Bioware game. In terms of plot, storyline, characters, and voice acting. I thought it was an absolute smash. Until... well.. you know.

Just have to say, that Bioware did an amazing job with the game and the ME3 team should feel immensely proud of what they have done.

Indeed it was!  And don't forget the Lusitania!  Everyone forgets the Lusitania.

[Feirefiz1972]

Still enjoying it, great game to me. Curious about the next game.

[andymacblue]

Those folks on the Titanic were all a big bunch of whiners. It's "the journey" that matters, not the end.

Awesome ride. Cheered at certain parts, finished a song for another, crossed my fingers at others and went in with my heart pounding during battle. Especially with certain enemies that always put the fear of god in me when they scream.

In either case as far as the ending goes, I can deal with it. I know theres more coming and I am looking forward to seeing if one group is right or another one is. But we'll see what comes april 6th but I am not letting the ending wreck my good time.

And the ending was WAYYYY better then Operation Raccoon City so make of that what you will. Hell I didn't feel even slightly ripped off about Mass Effect 3. Operation Raccoon City on the other hand made me feel ripped off and violated. For me that was a Day One Refund.

For the most part. The journal system was horrible this time around. I missed being able to call my old squadies. I think some missions should have been missable based on your previous actions in the other two games. I don't think you should get the Rachni mission unless you saved her in the first. It was a fantastic game otherwise beyond those and the endings.

[Drogonion]

Yes, it was a great game prior to the ending, easily a 9.5/10 for me.

But the ending was worse than bad, it was horrific. And it is the ending to this incredible trilogy that is most remembered, and that will cast a long shadow over all three games.

A bad ending is disappointing; a bad ending to something that is epic awesomeness yields epic disappointment. But to anyone who has been paying attention to the ME universe (and not just shooting stuff), the ME3 ending evokes a lot more than epic disappointment: it evokes something more akin to betrayal. And rightly so. It is a narrative failure (not just a bad ending) of epic proportions.

The Bioware team should be immensely proud of what they accomplished for 99% of the playing time of the game. However, they should be ashamed of the finale, and how they managed to mar and stigmatize an entire trilogy of games in a mere 5 minutes of horrific story-telling.

I know you want to show your appreciation for the ME team. But they are grown ups (not to mention a commercial enterprise) and need to hear the whole deal.

Some things made me rage, like what BW did to Cerberus and TIM, but overall, I enjoyed it a lot.

[YeKnight94]

I love this game and everything that's been released so far (comics etc.) I'd live in the mass effect universe if I could, its amazing what Bioware have created and I don't think I've played anything that even comes close to how epic the series is, but like many I do feel the ending put a damp on things :< Come on Bioware fix it!

Oh and screw the ungrateful douchebags who are bashing Bioware >

Thought it was very good, though the worst in the series. Due to; the lack of exploration, the less dialogue options, too much autotalking, not very many sidequests(don't really count planet scanning quests as real sidequests), reaper chase thing was really annoying, not as much communicating with crew(just listening). Weak/No closure in many aspects. Alot of the cameos seemed forced rather than natural(everywhere you go, there just so happens to be an old companion).Then add all the silliness from the ending...

Still plenty of fun to be had.

Oh hey!  I can do that too (damn with faint praise):  The ending was WAYYYYY better than a sharp stick in the eye!  I didn't even feel slightly ripped off because at the end of the game my eye's were totally sharp stickless (sure, I wanted to GOUGE my eyes out but...no stick!).

Oh yes indeed I did. Sure there were other small things like the quest journal, the odd listen in and deliver quests that felt off, but overall the game is truly amazing and the feeling, choices etc. you have to deal with is a worthy conclusion. I honestly think that is why so many dislike the ending, if only the rest of game wasn't so good.

[Thorvale]

Quests were not easy to keep track of progress. Otherwise resof the game, minus the ending, was great.

[Sebbe1337o]

I enjoyed most of it. "overhearing" sidequests was a little cheap. Too much auto-dialogue, too much banther and not enough "real" conversations with squadmates where you can choose what to say etc. You can see sloppy work althrough the game, it's obvious that it was rushed... And that "We reap so you don't die because of synthetics" sh*t. Dark Energy-theory by Drew Karpyshyn (the original one which Bioware scrapped, god knows why...)

[streamlock]

I did. I appreciated the good amount of fan service in the game as well. The 1st two games, you could just grab a new character and play through due to all the variability. For this one, the variability on a fresh play-through is pretty low-it is all tied to your imported character/decisions.

As much as they touted the game was meant for new and returning players-beyond MP, it was obvsously designed for folks with a vested interest (save games) in the series. And I like that.

I'm actually (slowly) working on another play-through and am just going to alt-tab/close window after a certain point and have a six-pack waiting on ice to dull the pain of what I didn't just witness

(Edit: Not that it is without it's issues-it has many.  But overall minus brain drain cliffhanger I did enjoy it.)
