Nope. Haven't touched it.
The ending was just the icing on the crap-cake, with that day-one DLC as Casey Hudson called the "sugar on top." The entire narrative seemed to just fall apart more and more as the game went on, lore seemed to just cease to exist, choices did NOT matter (LOL at the dark purple Rachni queen), and everything from how the story was told, to the ways characters interacted and were portrayed as was dumbed down. All bimbos, boobies and hurr durr macho gun action. Gameplay was dumbed down, not "streamlined." I get it, you can roll, and use an energy sword omniblade, but the game itself became what felt like a Gears of War clone with influences from COD and Battlefield 3. Not bad games, just bad elements to be trying to copy and cram into Mass Effect for the "wider audience."
If you weren't romancing one of the "canonized" LIs such as Liara, Ashley, or Kaidan, well, sorry. You're screwed in that department too. Oh, and what was that five-minute photoshop of that iStockphoto...that was supposed to be the face of the most popular character of ME2? Talk about crapping on a fanbase. I would love to see how the "Shepard deserves better fans" bigots are going to try to justify that one.
Also, what happened to the sleek, clean, sci-fi look and feel to Mass Effect? It seemed like technology in the game universe took a major downgrade as well. We went from the cool blue, purple, red and green muzzleflashes and bullet trails to boring, modernized machine gun sounds and effects. Even the grenades got a downgrade, going from the cool floating disc grenades to these...hunks of crap that quite frankly don't do a thing (I'm not talking about sticky grenades, but that was also very unoriginal of BioWare). Aesthetically, everything seemed to be clunkier, boxier, and even the hardsuits went from that clean, sleek and coherent look to big, bulky, and Gears-esque, especially when you look at Vega's armor.
Those were just a few of the issues I had with Mass Effect 3. Quite frankly, the only ME game I can bring myself to play is the first one.
That's a good point........ How did the Rachni queen get so BIG!
AAAAHHHHH! Of all the things. That's going to bug me for a few days now. Maybe she ate alot and became a BBR........
