If I had stopped playing Mass Effect 3 ten minutes before the end, there would be no question in my mind that it was one of the best games of the year. Now, however, I can't decide if I'd put it in a top 5 or a bottom 5; of all the games I've played so far, it would probably sit right in the middle.

On the one hand the characters were great, the set pieces huge and the atmosphere unbelievable. On the other hand the customisation options were a little sloppy, the journal was borderline useless and it's impossible to get past that terrible ending. There's an analogy that Yahtzee used to sum up the most recent Deus Ex game which I feel is appropriate; It's like opening the door to greet an old friend and engaging him in stimulating conversation for a few minutes before smelling alcohol on his breath and looking down to see his old chap dangling forlornly from his open fly.

It's mostly the ending although I did notice there didn't seem to be as much dialogue and there were definitely less proper side missions compared to the previous games. I'd give it 8/10 overall but really for the final game I was hoping it would be better.

I remember going all WTF at the end... Thinking "so this is what everybody was talking about" ejected the game... And never played again since...

Hate is such a strong and shouldn't be used even for this game.
But disappointment is a word that travels through my brain everytime I think about the game.
To the degree that I can't even play the first two again. Hopefully I'll get pass that.

As has been stated, people don't hate the game, they love the game and it managed to destroy that love in 5 minutes flat.

99% of the game is superb, which makes it all the more disappointing that the ending the game spent so much time building up to was so vague, contrived and detached.

I was having a great time with the game. Sure there were thing I thought they could have done better, but overall I think it was for the most part an improvement to ME 1 or 2 which I thought were themselves already amazing games.

....then the reaper beam hit me and everything turned to crap. The ending was so bad and unsatisfying it made me realize flaws I hadn't even noticed before. Like the entire thing with the crucible that was pulled from nowhere and how nobody knew what it does or how to use it, or how the dialogue was a lot more linear then in the previous games, or how disapointed I was that my LI made only such a short appearance, etc.

I love the entire ME series, but the ending to ME 3 soured my experience tremendously.

The majority of people agree that the rest of the game is great. Of course this place is filled with people who nitpick at the little issues, but in all honesty, this does not represent the entire population.

I liked most of the game and loved few parts. But to me it is definetly not a best game ever, and it is the weakest game in all ME series.
Given the artistic edning and whole rushed and broken priority Earth - frankly, i would not have bought it (not to mention preorder a digital deluxe edition) untill it went on real sale. So - do i hate it? No. do i enjoy the game as a whole - also no, there are good and even great parts but bitterbad ending and priority Earth leaves a bitterbad taste.

Despite all the flaws, I really like ME3. This is because I can ignore of the flaws and enjoy whats there. That is, the flaws besides the ending. The ending is the big deal breaker for me; while I still like the end of the game it does lessen my enjoyment alot. Not to the point of hating it, but moving ME3 from what could have been my favorite game in the trilogy to my least favorite.

The terrible ending has only caused people to apply a microscope to the game and brought to light many other flaws that really shouldn't be there and also made issue of problems that would have otherwise been overlooked. Just a few jarring issues:

- They took a monumental step back with the journal
- You cannot obtain enough EMS through SP alone even with optimal imports and decisions

Well and what about:

- Dumbed down RPG
- COD Like with forced MP
- Autodialogues + cutscene quantity = spending lot of time watching without doing nothing
- Fetch quests quantity (not quality) a little be like ME2 planet scanning.
- Some consequences over some choices seemed not mattering
- Lot of binary choice wheel
This wasn't only the end that wasn't my friend the end

Yes ME1 & ME2 had their issues but we overlooked them because the whole games were great which isn't the case in my op and some "minority" for ME3. The sum of broken things and of course the "cherry (with kernel) on the cake" ending exceeded the "greatness" of the game ... Personaly I really enjoyed only 2 missions Rannoch & Tuchanka, these 2 really felt like ME at his best (like we had in ME1 & ME2) the others, let's say that I rated them from 'mediocre' to 'null'

It's not hate for me it is Disapointment with D uppercase.

The game would have been better if we could just send Anderson up there...He would have done the right thing like he always does:

I certainly don't hate it. It's a damn good game. But it could have been soooo much better. So much wasted potential on Mass Effect 3.

The ending, I consider to be atrocious, and I'm referring to the entire Priority: Earth mission. Awful, especially when compared to the Suicide Mission.

Tuchanka and Rannoch are perfect examples of why this game was great. I like Mass Effect 3 more than Mass Effect (the original).

I'll probably get shot for that but I play for the story. Unfortunately, I'm also a completionist. This means in Mass Effect I have to collect every mineral on every planet in the slowest vehicle in the galaxy. I also have to play through all the copy-paste side quests to get to the good stuff - the story.

I enjoyed the game. Bits of it had a rushed feeling, and the ending was disappointing, but overall I don't regret buying it at all. It's still a good, enjoyable, often touching, game.

[Xenite]

It's funny, at launch people was fairly upset with the dialog wheel. They turned ME3 more into a simplistic console game with less player interaction in the dialog. But then the ending was so atrocious people forgot about it.

ME3 was less of a Bioware game and more of what you would expect from EA, as in mediocre.

...or is it just a vocal internet minority? Me and the majority of my real life friends LOVED the game. Although we all agree the ending was weak and needed a rewrite, overall we thought ME3 was amazing, possibly one of the best games we ever played. Included in this group of friends are 2 writers and designers for tabletop RPGs (myself and a friend, published), one video game designer with a Master's Degree in Entertainment Technology, a number of programmers and developers, and a fair number of people who have nothing to do with the gaming industry.

This suggests to me that perhaps this game is not nearly as hated as it seems, rather that the million people who loved the game felt no need to come on the internet and complain about it. Obviously this is a terrible place to ask this question if I hope to get a real answer, but it was still something I wanted to put out there and see what people had to say.

I loved the game, warts and all, and could easily overlook its flaws if the ending wasn't such a collossal cluster****.

Let's just say that while i was playing i didn't care about things like the Journal that was completly useless, the fact that i got Allers instead of Wong, the most crappy CE that i bought of a game, etc., etc.
That was how great the game was feeling, that made me forget those flaws.
The ending however, not only was the HUGE nail in the coffin, also it acted like an amplifier to all those other flaws.

There's no one polity here. I thought the game was great, and though the ending was incomplete and unclear, it's also not as bad as its press.

This is exactly how I felt.  It's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I thought it had great gameplay, unfortunately the main plot was ridiculous even before the ending and Priority Earth was a bust. Some of the sub-plots were pretty good though.

[NedPepper]

I actually love playing ME3. I AM disappointed in the endings. But disapointement and hate are totally different things. The game is emotional, intelligent, philosphical, fun. They just went askew trying to wrap it up. It's unfortunate. But the game itself is actually a really well made, enjoyable experience.

[darknessmyown]

I don't "hate" Mass Effect 3. I love the game, so much so that I can over look bugs, issues with game play, a complete lack of motivation to make some of the side quests so much more then a "go to planet A to scan for thing B and return to person C on Citadel", and so on. What I can't overlook is the ending, I have made the time to play through again and the ending still just pisses me off.

I loved most of the game. Missions like tuchanka and rannoch made up for the countless fetch quests and poorly done me2 character cameos. But the most important parts of any story are the beginning and ending. IMO those were the two weakest parts of the game. Unlike some other people I can still replay the game by ignoring the end as best I can, but there is simply no excuse for the atrocity that is Priority:Earth.

^This sums up my feelings about the game pretty well.
