A single "nit" is important, and "nitpicking" is essential.

It seems you prefer:
BioWare: "So, other than everything you are dissatisfied with, how do you like the game?"
Customer: "... discounting those things? 10/10
BioWare: "There you have it!  Another perfect score!"


First, nitpicking is not essential and I have no idea where that logic even enters your brain. Nitpicking would be essential if perfection was a reachable goal, which it is not.

Second, to drive my point across: Here's my score for ME3 factoring in the journal, Kai Leng, and all the other pointless crap people have been getting up in arms over: A solid 8.5/10.

Here's my score IGNORING those things: A solid 8.5/10.

Do you see what I'm getting at here? Those things did absolutely nothing to hinder my enjoyment of the game. Therefore, they are not worthy of consideration. That is why nitpicking is not essential, because then you make a mountain out of an anthill.


Unless of course that anthill is already a pus spewing mountain of "WTF?".  Plot aside,  I honestly think 8.5 is a tad too high for a game which was obviosuly pushed out before they could iron out all the kinks.  There's camera angle issues, occasional clipping issues, crashes and of course dubbing like it's a 70s Chinese Kung-Fu flick.  Whilst none of them are game breaking, they shouldn't be present to this degree in a game which is supposed be as polished as Mass Effect.  That aside it's a lot more linear than the previous two titles, and the combat lacks can get pretty repatitive after a while.  All in all it comes together to produce a good, but flawed game.  But the ME series has largely been about plot, so you really do need to include that, and that's where ME3 stumbles badly.  

And not just at the end.

From the start I had a raised eyebrow at the Reapers managing to get into Sol without notice, and no real mention of any sort of engagements prior to the invasion of Earth.  It was rushed, a common theme within the game.  The only section of the entire game which felt true to the ME series was curing the Genophage, with other major moments just causing me to go "WTF?" on a regular basis.  Not because I couldn't understand them, but because they were shoe horned in, bastardised or could have been written in a much better fashion.  My conclusion was that Tuchanka had been written ahead of time by the ME2 team, and ported over by the writers of ME3.  Eveything else was ME3's writers attempt at tying together a storyline they had no vision for. 


Though I do not share many of your feelings on the game, at the very least you are justifying your stance on it way better then just saying "blah blah bad journal, Kai Leng, blah blah". The points you bring up are actually substantial, and for that, your opinion deserves respect. I was merely addressing those who seek any little avenue to fault the game.


Any game under the amount of scrutiny mass effect is enduring would have its review score decimated. Go nit pick through skyrim about the dragons flying backwards glitch.


I thought that that little glitch made Dragons more interesting. They tend to be pretty annoying, and that glitch definitely spiced up the encounters.

But, they fixed it.



It's not game breaking, it's amusing and it's Bethsda Studios is renowned for large sand pit games with glitches galore.  That's more due to the sheer amount of coding that has to be combined, sometimes to detrimental effects, but in this case you just get a backwards flying giant lizard.  But those kind of glitches are minor compared to the scale that Bethsda managed to cram into the game as a whole, so such glitches are more forgiveable.

You can score it whatever you want, At the end of the day there is not one person in this thread who can honestly say they would not recommend the entire Mass Effect series to a friend. Sure the last 15 mins were disappointing, but only because the entire previous 3 games were amazing.
Mass effect combined 3 titles and 5 years of gaming and character development in a way that nobody else has.

The simple voting scale is Yea or Nay.

Everybody chooses Yea, because at the end of the day its simply better to have played the series than to have avoided it.


I would recommend Mass Effect 1 and 2, but I would not recommend 3. I would tell my friends to play Mass Effect 3 at their own risk.

Mass Effect 3 by itself? If I hadn't played and enjoyed Mass effect 1 and 2, and had friends who never played 1 and 2, I would recommend Mass Effect 3 as a standalone game. I mean, Bioware says that Mass Effect 3 is a great standalone game, and it probably is if you're not expecting it to be like 1 and 2.


Really, so you are telling me you would deny your friends the epic reaper battle on tuchanka, killing Kai leng for thane, the fun chats with TIM, the reunion with the original love interests, the fun cameos from me2 squadmates, the fun final dates like garrus on  the citadel, the big stupid jellyfish line, the STEEEVE line, the ability to shoot udina, the reveal of the asari roots and the protheans, The ability to squaddy up with a live prothean, the interesting conversations over existentialism with EDI, the reapers sacking of earth, Garrus and Vega going back and forth at the mess hall, drunk tali, drunk ashely, Javik tossing out the airlock, Wrex-shepard part 3, grunt being a badass, Thane being a badass, Mordin epic sacrifice, Legion epic sacrifice, Jack dancing, Joker falling in love, best combat of the trilogy, first multiplayer of the trilogy, chance to see thessia and rannoch, chance to down a reaper one on one, chance to see krogan upper society history......I could go on.

Mass effect 3 was a great ride. the last 15 mins didn't affect me until the last 15 mins. Avoiding ME3 is like avoiding popcorn because the last bits are undercooked..

The majority of us enjoyed the popcorn from start to finish and tossed out the kernels.
Those who avoided the entire bag are left hungry...



I haven't got the time to go over this with a fine toothed comb, but we'll just put it down to opinions.  And the popcorn analogy is just bad.  Maybe you should think about working on ME4 as a script writer?  It would be more akin to eating the popcorn and finding out there's a dead rat or coakroch at the bottom of the pack.  You expect the kernels, you don't expect a dead animal at the bottom.  At the best you'll throw the food away in disgust, even the good taste forgotten at the knowledge of what you found.  At worst you'll be put off popcorn for life.


The ending was bad, we get it. Its been two months and ive looked at countless posts, theories and analysis. Ive seen everything from indoctrination theory, to Angry Joe to Javik trolled theory to space magic and synthesis = reaper.

The endings are not a black rat at the end of the bag to me. They are a particularly nasty kernel. It is what it is, but having played my blind run with zero internet influence I can say that it did not ruin the game for me. The ending was weird and unsatisfying. However the game was a gem and I was on edge for every second of it.

The reason I found the endings so unbelievable is largely due to how great the rest of the game is. Its just that simple. The game is great, the endings were not. Now a black rat at the end of the bag would be a game breaking bug. Reserve black rat status for the truly unplayable.....cochroaches too...those go over by big rigs

I'm still waiting for people to tell me why Metacritic is more credible than IMDB. Does it take longer to sign up for Metacritic? Or does the ability to type a 2 word review like "RGB explosions" give the users more credibility?


Because IMDB excludes user scores according to criteria which we cannot observe and that are totally unrelated to gaming.  I fail to see why this is hard.

Neither score is a valid representation of quality, but unfiltered result > result with known bias of unknown form.


Not like there is a big difference anyway. The unfiltered arithmetic mean is 9.2

IMDB uses an undisclosed algorithm to adjust it to 9.4

And it was never really fixed and you needed to do the quest to become Thane. It wasn't a sidequest actually, it was the major city quest line.

I never said it was fixed.

I never had a problem finishing it, though.

I hate windhelm. And Ulfric is a doodycake.

Skyrim: I remember a quest bug where I would rescue a girl and bring her dad, then the dad wouldn't despawn...brought the girl to a church and set her up. Went back to dad's area and he was asking about her as if I never found her. Went back to get her again....dead enemy with solid blue chest...and thats when I reloaded way back and just started from scratch

As a saga ENDING, a CLOSURE to the trilogy (me3 is all about it, and fails at it); the game is bad. Thats why i can totally understand a 3/10 2/10. The gameplay was polished just slighty from me2, same with graphics, etc.
Personally i dont like the new readiness system, im getting tired of the multiplayer. And really tried to give a chance to the new war asset system, but i think they are not getting the most from it.
So yes, for me i can give as much as a 4 to my personal review of the game.

I was at that point before playing ME3: Lauding it to all my friends, trying to get them to play ME1 or ME2.
After ME3? I've told them not to play any.

Why? Whilst ME1 and ME2 were good, ME3 is thoroughly disappointing, and the ending creates ripples of badness that echo back to ME1 and ME2. Sure, I enjoyed ME1 and ME2 when I played them before ME3, after ME3, all I can think about when Sovereign shows up is the Star Child. Same for Harbinger - though I also think about how absent he was in 3. When I complete a Cerberus Mission, I think of TIM in ME3, also known as Saren 2.0.
The Citadel Mission reminds me of the crap that was Priority: Earth.
Romancing anyone from ME2 makes me think of the Liara screen at the end, and the failure that was their romances in ME2.
The Rachni remind me of the crap consequence in ME3 - ala no consequence at all.
The Collector base does the same thing.
As does the Destiny Ascension.

I could not recommend Mass Effect to my friends, as ME1 and ME2 would get them hyped up for playing ME3, only to have it violently cast them down, and see them sell all three games on E-bay. ME1 and ME2 get you pumped, but without conclusion they become tiresome. ME3 is that conclusion, and its conclusion also ruins key moments in the previous games. Sure, they're missing out on some great moments. There are a lot of other great moments to be had in other great games, however, that won't send them crashing down afterwords. We're all looking forward to the release of Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion, and some of us are planning on getting The Witcher 2. We're looking forward to Bioshock Infinite, and the return of the main map for the server we play on on Minecraft. We await the BF3 DLC cautiously, waiting to see if it wil just be SMAW spam maps, or something that will be worth playing on, and we spend our time doing things we'll enjoy.
Which would you rather? Getting $10,000 then getting your private parts cut off, or just getting $10,000?

People who hated it, gave a 0/10. Total BS.
People who loved it, gave a 10/10. Still total BS.
People who put thought in their review, gave everything between 4-8.

But everything mixed together is the total score = 3.8.

Deal with it, fanboys.

I disagree with the whole arguement that ME3 was a 10/10 up until the last 15 minutes. The game certainly had some good moments but popcorn from start to finish? LOL no. It was far from what we got in the new Avengers Movie which for me was pure quality throughout. And goddam the Avengers ending delivered big time! I actually cared more about the alien invasion ending in a comic book film than the ending of the ME triology as I watched it gasp! (I never would have expected that). Thats just the sad truth, the Mass Effect series is not as great now as we thought it was before ME3.

I could not care less about the priority earth mission never mind the silly Catalyst ending Muwhahahaha. For me at no point in ME3 does the game ever reach the heights of the suicide mission in ME2. The final showdown with the reapers was just very meh.. And honestly, how can you think prologue earth mission was that good either? Not meaning to sound rude to you buddy, but I am just surprised how some people rate ME3 as awesome all the way up to just before the end :huh:

The game is centered around the story which is a pretty big shift from most where the story is centered around the game.

As Bioware decided to shaft the story in the end, that violation is palpable and the reaction unsurprising. Or does anyone think Star Wars ending with a 1950's musical dance number while a Nun steals battery cables from the ****'s cars and a six foot invisible bunny named Harvey makes tea would not justify a savaging both from commercial reviews and personal?

The clusterfrakkery of the last ten minutes has cost Bioware dearly. They shafted the story, now they get to take one for the team.


I guess you have not seen the star wars holiday special...



(sorry, bad joke)

Because people have apparently lost the ability to be subjective. It's infantile, really. I wouldn't be surprised if most of those reviews were from people on this site, the same place that continually argues that fan reviews somehow hold more water then professional reviews, by whatever flawed logic.


The argument is based on the fact that EA is the main meal-ticket for most of those review sites. Fan reviews are useful in that they give an idea of the % of people who liked the game and the % who didn't.

It's odd that some people can't see the conflict of interest. iThere's a banner at the top and another at the side saying to buy the game, and a background consisting of the main characters of said game.

Giving the game a bad review would LITERALLY mean the site is going to make less money.
