Yes, very much.

Mass Effect 3 was the best game in the series..up until the last 10 minutes of gameplay.

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.)

Shhhh!  The Ending That Must Not Be Spoken. 

May Marauder Shields protect you!

I kinda like to think the game was just like one of those athletes that up and dies suddenly on the court.  You know, it seems to be so healthy and alive, chugging right along, then up at the end PLOP!  Just died.  Just like that.

Goofy heart, aneurism, the whole thing just tanks.  Shocking in its suddenness.  Sad.

I loved attention to details like the sound effects and the lighting effects such as the use of torchlight on weapons in the Mars and Ardat-Yakshi monastery.

ME3 is one of the most brilliant game I've played in the last years. Unfortunately, the very beginning is a little bit slow and flat and the ending (starting with Cerberus Base mission) is not on the same quality level of the rest of the game.

[KingJason13]

Yes, I did. Very much.

...which only serves to highlight how truly awful the ending (singular) really was!!!

[beyondsolo]

Ignoring the ending, yes. Yes, I did enjoy Mass Effect 3. There are somethings that bug me about the game, but its great moments more than make up for them.

I loved how the missions, even the sidequests, felt like being part of a military operation.

I loved the space battles.

I loved the unique dialogoues in their unique settings.

I loved the great moments of the story.

And then the ending made all seem so pointless.

It was an epic ride from the start till Starchild.

I too part in an intergalactic war, saw entire worlds burn, fought assassins in the corridors of power, watched two behemoths duke it out in an apocalyptic wasteland, saved an entire species from desolation, reconnected with a lost love, fought through countless battlefields, lost old friends, persuaded long-time enemies to seek the path of peace and shot Udina in the chest.

Yeah it was a hell of ride. Till the damn Starchild showed up. Also would have liked to have fought through an Alliance Shipyard (I just want to see a dreadnought up close) or watch an Elcor tank.

[Getorex]

Heh. I pre-ordered this biotch like a turd, played once, loving it (mostly) until the atrocity at the end. Then I sent it back for a refund. Now, I just re-purchased it for a mere $39. Maybe by the time it arrives, and I try a new playthrough of ME1 and 2 there will be some reason to play ME3 again (new ending). Maybe.

Auto-dialog = bad
Too much auto-pilot/passive watching = bad
No planet exploration AT ALL = bad
Ping-and-Probe missions = better than relentless scanning in ME2 but not a good replacement for actual MISSIONS. Land, explore, fight, etc is the game, not BOOP! Found something. Ta-da!
Jumbled journal = bad
Having to be a horrendous eavesdropper (the kind that gets a punch in the face in RL) to get inane ping-and-probe missions = bad
Having to search high and low in Citadel every other mission for someone with an active chat icon on them so some side mission (never know which) will get completed = bad
Short treatment of most past crew = bad
No Krogan on squad (first time in series that there's not even an OPTION for a Krogan) = bad

Graphics = good
Combat control = pretty good (too much stuff attached to the space bar!)
Being able to re-set player/crew training and re-do point allocation = good
Not being much real point or value to re-doing point allocaton (unlike as in ME1) = bad
Not enough in-depth chatting up crew = bad
Some overheard crew chat = good (I do miss "Ruppert, this tastes like there's a lot less ass in it!" from ME2)
Epic space battle animations = good
Epic space battle animations replacing actual interactions and squad action = bad
Insanity level play actually being fairly insane = good (first time in series)
Multiplayer actually rather fun = good
Multiplayer taking away from PRIMARY goal of SP game development = bad



I am assuming that there will be a good deal of DLC with big side missions in them, including the Hammerhead (lots of hints this way) = good (maybe, if they are well done and in line with "Lair of the Shadowbroker" DLC...BEST DLC in universe...EVAH!).  This dependent on fixed ending.

If everything after you collapse on that platform that raises you up weren't taken into account, Mass Effect 3 was amazing. Loved the changes to the Skill tree, the removal of that annoying mining system from 2, and the whole galactic diplomat thing was pretty awesome.

If the ending were good, Mass Effect would be my favorite game series. 

[wildannie]

I can certainly see why many would enjoy the game, but as a player with Thane Krios as canon romance it was just utterly depressing. I really couldn't have imagined it being dealt with any worse. That, along with the knowledge of what was done to Jacobs romance arc gave the strong impression that female gamers had been sidelined and makes it impossible for me to enjoy any Mass Effect game at present as they just makes me angry.

Ah NOW COME ON!  He was dying in ME2!  

You reap what you sow, bumping uglies with a dying dude.

For many the ending didn't just ruin one game, it ruined the entire series. That's not something that should be ignored.

However. Ignoring the ending for a moment.

Everything about the game was awesome. Gameplay, graphics, VA (great job FP jr.) music, storyline, immersion.

My brother called me when I was playing the Tuchanka mission and I literally told him I had found the best video game ever made.

I thought it was the culmination of not just the series, but of all Bioware's efforts so far. It was their Magnum Opus. Their masterwork. Never to be equaled, never to be repeated.

Yes it had flaws. Journal, major bugs, eavesdropping sidemissions, stuff like that. But I could forgive, and I very easily forgot since the game was just sooooo good.

I loved it.

[william.munden]

its an average game it certainly isn't a brilliant game i like the first two better i just thought the writing was cringe worthy like the scenes with liara and thane it felt just a bit too cheesy for my taste.I liked the new combat it was better than the previous two.But it was a bit too easy even on insanity overall i did enjoy it some .Just my opinion not trying to cause offence to anyone.

[dukiduki]

I did. While I thought the beginning could have been better (to many things unexplained and a rather abrupt start), the middle part was really, really good, especially the Genophage plot. Then the ending came and ended my enthusiasm rather quickly.

[Getorex]

NEARLY a masterwork...like American Gothic with the guy sporting protruding buck teefs or the Mona Lisa with a slight wardrobe malfunction. So good until...that.

[Relshar]

I enjoyed the game all the way up till the end of the game. That last bit (you know the part) makes me never to want to buy another BioWare game again if this is the kind of rubbish writting they are going to release.

For me Mass Effect 3 was a make or break with BioWare after DA2 was released ( That was just a realy bad game). ME3 endings were the last straw for me. BioWare wants me to buy more of their games they are going to have to fix the endings to ME3, with a proper conclusion to the story.

[Shepard921]

Ignoring the ending, I loved ME3. I think this would be the better in the series. I liked the graphics, the dialogues, the action, the missions.... I liked everything in the game.
At this point, we can only hope in a "real" ending.

[Forst1999]

Yes, i enjoyed it very much. Most storylines and characters come to a satisfying end, the combat is great, the character system is better than ever, the annoying minigames were disposed of, it was funny as hell, with just the right amount of sadness at the approtiate times. As close to perfection as a game of this scope ever was.

[The Anti-Saint]

The game was definitely a treat right up till the end...but that is because the game is 95% complete.

[Getorex]

Oh yeah...we need the old krogan and Geth Prime charge back. ME1 was great with charging (fast as hell) krogan and Primes. After ME1 they both became slackers. In ME2 you'd hear (from Miranda) "Krogan charging!' and I'd look around to see "Where!?" and never ever see any 'charge'. Krogan strolling, more like.

[RACDB]

Not really a criticism but when I played ME2 for the PS3 almost all the DLC was included. So, perhaps ME3 felt a bit shorter. Otherwise, I enjoyed playing the game and will continue to do so.

I pity you.  PITY.

No ME1 for you (PS3).  WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?
