Yeah, the Mass Effect series was absolutely awesome, one of the best ever. I truly cared about the characters more in this game than any other. And yeah, the ending completely blows big donkey chunks, perhaps the worse ending I can remember in a game. Its neither coherent or nor fits with the narrative established over three games. And yes I was one of those idiots who yet again went through and replayed ME1 and ME2 to get the perfect save.
But you know what? Such is life. I'm sure the Bioware team poured their souls into making ME3 within budget and time constraints. For whatever reason, they totally screwed the pooch on the ending. And yeah, they totally overpromised and underdelivered - this isn't the first nor last time this will happen to me.
I forgive them, and I'm just about ready to move on. I may give the game another chance whenever the DLC comes out - for that reason, I won't be selling ME3 (In between playing Witcher 2, I may even try the MP once or twice). But if I do, I won't be furious if I still hate the ending (which, honestly, most of us are pretty sure we're going to hate the DLC ending as the parameters are already set). Its like rooting for bad sports teams in a way - if you really don't care about them losing any more, you just won't enjoy it as much when they finally win. That's sort of where I am. I'm dropping the emotion and moving on.
So Best of luck to all those who work at Bioware in your future endeavors. I may not be there any more for your games (or who knows, perhaps fan reviews for Dragon Age 3 will prompt me to buy it!), but I do wish you all well.
I felt the same way you do now.... and yes I will not give up on Bioware if they make good games that deliver on the "main" promises.
Especially now with quality products coming from developers like CD Projekt Red that really deliver on choices that matter as well as improving their products constantly with FREE DLCs there is really no need to waste money on products and companies that lack that care for their costumers.
Said that I really do understand their predicment with ME3 ending, we were up against impossible odds fighting God like unstoppable Reapers that have wiped civilization more evolved then us for millions of years.... there really was no serious hope for the united galaxy to defeat them unless they created a gimmick.
Ultimately we felt powerless and our jorney meaningless, and that's were the Ending really failed.... but we knew our hopes to defeat them in a fight were less then nothing when it took half the galaxy to defeat only 1 of them.... Sovereign in ME1
