Let me just say that the game play in ME 3 is exciting and fun. I had a
blast with the new moves and new weapons. It is the story that is
disappointing, that is the most important part of the game. Sure the
ending was a big factor, but there is a major disconnect from the
storytelling in ME 1 and ME 2.
In the pervious 2 games, there
was more devolopment of the story and characters with Shepards
interactions. Your Shepard, with your replies, decided how they
devoloped in the game. In turn, you could effect who lives or dies in
the game. While parts of ME 3 are like that, it does not effect who the
story plays out. Your choices does not effect anything really in this
game's story. You could possibly kill everyone in your crew and still
get to the Starchild. That is the major disappointment in ME 3, there
are no consequences to your choices that effect the end result.
In
my opinion, ME 3 is a disappointing game because it fails to measure up
to ME 1 and ME 2. There drama moments in ME 3, but there is no overall
drama in the game once you figure it out. The story does not want to
come back and try something different because it all ends the same. That
is not something Bioware/EA should be touting as "artistic" vision. It
something they should look at when doing a RPG game as a mistake. The
major key in a RPG, in my opinion, is how the player's choices effects
how the story unfolds. ME 3 unfolds to the same spot no matter what you
do and that is a failure.
I know the 75 critics love this game,
but that means 75 people out of 3 million love this game. It doesn't
really mean anything if they are the only one's that like it, now does
it? I know more that think there is nothing wrong with game and it
perfect in every possible way. I am just say touting that is a bit
childish since it is only 75 people that happen to have a publication to
print their opinions. Sorry Bioware/EA, I think ME 3 will be voted the
most disappointing game of 2012.
I'd say yes, because it had so much potential and most of the game was genious, but the ending destroyed the franchise. So, yes, it is not by far the worst game (it is still awesome), but it is the most disappointing game EVER for me!
