In fairness, and to be clear: Mass Effect 3 DOES NOT suck. Granted, there are bugs such as the occasional crash-to-desktop after the cutscene of the Normandy escaping from Mars, or the crash-to-desktop after viewing the Prothean recording in Priority: Eden Prime, or the "Vanguard Glitch" in Multiplayer, minor things really, and expected (unfortunately) in projects as complex and grand a scale such as this. But Mass Effect 3 *IS* a VERY GOOD game nonetheless.
So, let's exercise a little objectivity here; the problem many, if not most, have with is the last 10-15 minutes of the game. Essentially, EVERYTHING after being hit by Harbinger's giant laser.
(We should have listened to Wrex on that one.)
Let's also keep from fueling any further "hate" until we hear what BioWare has to say at PAX. There's more than enough of that going around already, and does nothing but make us all feel worse, and some folks look bad. BioWare has given us brilliant games in the past: KotOR, ME1, ME2, etc., which we've enjoyed. What's ~1.5 days to hear what they have for us?
Right?
It sucks as much as a bad ending to a good book or even just a bad book in general. Not to mention that the current ending basically takes a big poo on everything I did in the other 2. So not only does mass effect 3 do a disservice to the ending, but a disservice to anyone wanting to play the series back from the start.
Can they fix the issue at hand? Perhaps, but whatever they decide to do cannot just undo all of the damaged cause by the horrid ending. All of their lies before and after mass effect's release is pretty much unforgivable. This whole debacle has left me a bit sour as probably quite a few others.
I can state that mass effect 3 sucks, but it is my opinion and I only say it because like I said it's like reading an overall bad book. No matter how good the meat and potatoes were, the desert was unsatisfactory and I blame Bioware for that. It would have been better if Shepard just won the war by gathering an entire galactic army along with the Crucible's amazing firepower.
