- Origin - accusations of spyware aside, if it wasn't such a cumbersome piece of junk to use I might have put up with it. As it is it's terrible, as in going to the game store and finding no sales assistants terrible. I was actually going to buy it on physical media until I find out it still puts bloody Origin on. Let me spell it out for you here: for the convenicence of buying it on Steam I would have happily paid extra. Because Steam, y'know, works. By the way, same applies to ME1 & 2 DLC - I really think you should let someone else do it and just charge me extra to buy from what I realise is a competitor, but your purchase system realy does suck that badly.
- The endings - the flak you got over this was so big that I found it impossible to avoid spoilers, and thank God because otherwise I'd have dropped $90 or whatever on something that I'd have found as satisfying as having the flu.
- Multiplayer - has zero appeal for me. None. Aside from unreliable internet, which isn't uncommon in Oz, I like to play people games with people who are physically present. Poker round the dining table will always hold more fun for me than some smartarse with a hundred hours in MMO calling me noob and gay. Hell, snakes and bloody ladders with my nephews would be more fun.
- Multiplayer and the endings - that you can't get at least one of the endings without either multiplayer or other games on other platforms sucks a quite unprecedented quantity of arse and is simply a deal breaker. There is precisely zero chance I will buy before this is taken care of.
In short, if I'd bought the game as is I might have wanted to punch the cat in his smug, smiley, knowing cat face with its permanent expression of how he always knows better than everyone else (a lot like Miranda really) and would have told me not to buy it if only I'd bothered to learn Cat. I'm very fond of my cat and have no wish to spend money on a product that will infuriate me to the point I want to take it out on him, and, getting back on the actual topic, especially not when it's effectively incomplete unless I spend time on multiplayer or more money still on other games.
Edit: PS I hate the omnistabby as well. Like the suddenly big boobs it feels like something included to appeal to the under 18 males, and since the game got a 17+ rating in its main market there doesn't seem to be any point unless we're all conceding that parents buy it for their 10-17 year olds anyway and there's hardly any point in ratings except to tell you what to expect the kids to see and hear. I'd prefer the omnistabby to have been more an omniSwiss Army knife with omniscissors and omniscrewdrivers and omnithing-for-getting-stones-out-of-horses-omnihooves, which could conceivably have some practical use in universe. Not as cool as a nice omnistabby, but then an omnistabby's a hell of a lot sillier than just letting Shepard have a freakin' bayonet.
