How is this possible?

How?

How is it even possible for the game to get a 9? Meaning it only had MINIMAL problems.

It's things like this that lead one to believe.....(okay, don't want to get banned...yet)

But gimme a break. There are so many issues with this game and when you compare it to the likes of GTA 4, Uncharted 2, Halo, Gears of War....it falls VERY short of those games. And those games are in the 9 and PERFECT category. 

So really....were the reviewers either on crack cocaine skonta riga? Or.....again....don't want to go down that road....

Reviewers rarely play through the entire game, unfortunately.

Cuz EA buys advertising from all of those reviewers, and even included one in the game.

You have proof of this I assume.

Bad mouthing a game is a quick way to irrelevancy in the gaming 'journalist' industry.

[An English Gamer]

They have nothing to do with the review. They just put up a target and got 75 bulls-eyes by throwing all the alternative ending scripts at it.

[FS3D]

The game is far from perfect, so those scores are unjustified.

We can safely say they were not deserved. They had to have been paid for somehow, in some fashion...

There is no other likely conclusion other than the reviewers were smoking something, and I doubt they were all doing that at the same time.

Jessica Chobot as Dianna Allers. Jessica Chobot works for IGN. What else do you need?

Let Bioware cite 75 perfect scores in their defenses. And let us find out if Bioware can live off reviewing praise.

[Shadow Wrought]

Theres also no context as who gave said reviews (Or why) . It can easily be a false claim or they just grabbed 75 people from nowhere to say they give it a 10/10. There was a thread around here a couple days back that did an examination of the numbers on meta critic and could only pull up about 25.

"75 perfect reviews from all 75 of our favourite Bioware co-workers."

What about the rumor going around that multiple reviewers were bullied into playing a full retail version of the game all the way through, and then rescinded their perfect scores after actually playing through to the end?

[Huskeonkel]

Really, if the ending had been even remotely close to what we had hoped and expected, we would have given it a "perfect score" too. There are some other very minute errors, but apart from the ending, its a very solid game.

If you grade the ending with the same weight as every other part of the game (i.e. it's no more/less important than the rest), then the game is nearly perfect. Unfortunately, the ending should weigh much more than the rest of the game.

Whilst I applaud your scepticism, do you really dispute that EA pays for advertisements on gaming sites? Or do you dispute that Diana Allers is voiced by and modelled after Jessica Chobot?

Even if it had a good ending, the "evesdrop" conversations, sidequests,  "auto dialog" and lack of dialog wheel ruined the game for me.

He doesn't need proof.  We all know that Mass Effect 3 is a good game but far from perfect.  You don't have to look very far to see that something is wrong with this picture.

Sorry, but I disagree.

Without the ending, other problems include:

1. Bugs (especially on the Normandy)
2. Horrible side-quest system
3. Horrible journal system
4. Lack of character dialogue
5. Lack of dialogue wheels
6. Lack of explorable area
7. Lack of vehicular action

There are definitely some good points in the game, such as the Tuchanka arc, the Rannoch arc, and some other missions such as the Ardat-Yakshi Temple. But if I were to rate this game, not putting any bias into the ending, I would've given this game an 8.

This game is a far cry from a quality product, let alone a perfect 10.

[Firesaber82]

that's the thing tho. NO game deserves a 'perfect score'. But they hand them out like candy. I remember when a 9/10 in PCGamer (the actual magazine) was something really rare and made you take notice.

[The Milky Waver]

If you're refering to the endings as the major problems, then it makes sense that it got so many good scores because it's usually bad business for reviewers to state their opinions on something so controversial such as the endings.

For all they know, they could lose a large amount of their supporters just for saying "We liked the ending a lot, it was perfect and closed the series very well." because so many people would disagree with them and drift away from them. So most reviewers are in the dark when it comes to conctroversy, and therefore ignore the controversial bits of a game, whether it is a major problem with the game or not.

 QFT. The Journal not updating alone warrants less than 10/10.

I don't disagree with the problems you pointed out, but I also don't think there's any game in existence that's completely free of issues.  Certainly none of the games that have been given perfect scores in the past have been literally perfect.  I always read a "10" as "nearly flawless" or "a fantastic experience that everyone should try".
