HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

You're joking, right?

I'm serious. To be precise I'm talking about missile launch battle where you are surrounded by Reaper forces. I play on the hardest difficulties and there that battle was a welcome challenge.

[*]come on really? it's basically horde mode, wave after wave of reapers untill the missile is ready of which you can just run up to it or stand there and press.....no challenge whatsoever and a pathetic way to end the gameplay side of a trilogy.

While Tuchanka and Rannoch had the best missions, I also really liked Sur'Kesh for the variety it had. Your squad dialogue and who you encountered varied greatly depending on your ME1/2 choices, and it was a fun mission in itself. Easily my favorite mission after the Tuchanka/Rannoch arcs

At Opening Poster.
You make many good points in your opening post.
But you've got to admit.
The Krogan and Quarian story arcs were the best parts of the game.
I wish there was a third story arc.
 
 
Dragon Age Origins gave me some pretty satisifying arcs. (SPOILERS AHEAD)
https://encrypted-tb...Hte6kykGMwILwqA
Origins: Any of the 6 Origin stories. They were all fantastic.
Dalish Elves: Warewolves, Witherfang and Tuvok as a badass mage.
Circle Tower: Templars vs Mages,  malificar, blood magic and daemons.
Dwalves: The Deep Roads, Dwalven Politics, the cast system
Daemon Child
The Grey Wardens vs Logain

Just fantastic.
I enjoyed Dragon Age Origins.
Just when I thought I had seen it all, there was a brand new story arc that enticed me.
Decisions had a lot of weight to them.
The ending was a slideshow, but if was fun to see consequences for my actions.


Mass Effect 3: Has the same plot of Dragon Age Orgins (unite everyone against a common foe). It had some great story arcs. But sadly had fetch quests and boring side missions. (Though many of the Dragon Age Origin side missions were also quite tedius)

My favorite mission is actually Palavens moon. Seeing the Reapers walk about in the background and seeing Palaven on fire was amazing.

I was thinking, "how come we can't visit Palaven"?
But it did look awesome!

Initial battle: Easy stuff.
First wave: Easy stuff.
Second wave: die to Banshees and Marauders numerous times.
Third wave: Harvester is easy.
Fourth wave: Numerous brutes. Tough wave. 
Final wave: Oh ****.

I play on PC, first time with Vanguard on Hardcore difficulty (I didn't use armor penetrating ammo). Second time with Engineer on Insanity.

Last time with Infiltrator on Insanity; yeah, I bet most people who complain game is too easy are playing with Infiltrator.

But sure, SP would benefit from added difficulty level:

Agreed. I never implied otherwise.

Mass Effect 3 had more good stuff than just those missions aligned with Krogan Cure and Geth vs Quarians. I see those two are mentioned as only saving graces of ME 3 fairly often. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course, but I feel I must highlight some other stuff that was made well in ME 3.

[*]I stopped reading at this point. I'm sorry but anyone who says this is a complete idiot IMO. How was it the best in the series? You're really trying to say that priority Earth was good? LOL

Considering that you have an apparent reading incomprehension and suffer from impatience, I wouldn't judge people fools if I were you.

[Brovikk Rasputin]

I agree with everything in the OP! Nice thread!

[Vicious]

I wouldn't judge people fools if I were you.

Why not, this is the internet and loudmouthed psychopathy is the norm.

Anyway, IMO there are plenty of cool moments in even crappy missions to make them better. My pilot died in Priority:Earth, and everything after that was intense as hell, knowing there was no way back and the suddeness of his death, [i had no clue you could save him] just made me feel like i wasn't in Kansas anymore.

I also liked retaking the Citadel quite a bit, simply because the first time i did the mission i couldn't believe Cerberus had the balls to A) Try and take it, and completely caught C-Sec with their pants down [though replaying the game, i realized that everything pointed to this.]


I also liked the mission on Thessia because it really highlighted the massive amount of sacrifice that the war required, and how ultimately pointless it could all be. Also when the Prothean VI informed me that Cerberus was indoctrinated, up till that point I thought TIM was just doing things his way, implanting guys with Reaper tech to ensure their Loyality. Learning that their entirety was basically an indoctrinated Reaper army made me crap my pants. Also, that you lost.

[AlexPorto111]

I agree with the OP.I loved ME3 from start to finish,a lot of memorable and emotional moments,great gameplay and soundtrack,amazing characters and story,a LOT of cool weapons and mods.

[DrGunjah]

ME3 was a good game with many flaws but also many great moments.
I really enjoyed the gameplay and the story was acceptable.
I even enjoyed the auto dialog... at least it was better than garrus telling me 100 times he has to calibrate that ****ing cannon...
Though then came priority:earth...
Unfortunately, on each playthrough I found new issues with the plot too.
So they actually were no real playthroughs because I lost interest in finishing the game.
They usually end after thessia, because stuff starts getting weird at this stage.
But probably it's just because I know priority:earth is coming soon. Who knows...

[EnvyTB075]

That final battle? Hard? On Insanity?

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTT

Right! Metallic skinned animals and plants with leathery leafs? I want to see that! Tuchanka is just desert and Rannoch is just New Mexico. Palaven could have been one of the few truly alien worlds we'd visit!

Although I did like the moon mission. It was Mass Effect's Saving Private Ryan mission.

[Tempest_]

It had good moments but Rannoch and Tuchanka were the only spectacular moments in my opinion.

I just didn't experience the same level of immersion that I did for Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age Origins where I played well into the early hours.

I still very much dislike the auto-dialogue and that does seriously hurt replay value for me. I do however believe this Omega DLC could be spectacular.

[blueumi]

no they are the only parts of mass effect 3 that had good writing the rest was some of the worst writing ever that and fetch quest hell with a game that is no where near as big as mass effect 1 or 2 before dlc the game is just lazy

[Foolsfolly]

Tuchanka was the best part of the game. It remembered all your choices all the way back to ME1. It emotionally and logically wrapped up many series long sub-plots and character arcs (Wrex in ME1: I don't like relying on people and I don't like them relying on me. Wrex in ME3: I am Urdgnot Wrex and this is my planet!).

Rannoch was all right. I don't understand why Legion dies when his upload needed more data. And I'm not sure why the Reapers would upgrade the geth to be more individual and not just slaves like they did with the heretics for ME1.... but other than those little complaints Rannoch works well.

...

...the rest of ME3 is either all right or stupid because it retcons choices or negates them to the point that any choice you made results in the same outcome. Tuchanka is king for ME3. I wish the rest of the game was as well handled as it was.

[Steelcan]

ME3 did several things very well.

Tuchunka (includes Sur'Kesh), Rannoch, combat, squad interaction, music, tying up other stories in the game,

It also did some things very poorly

Treatment of ME2 romances, Cerberus portrayal, auto dialogue, everything relating to Liara or Thessia. The Mars mission was a good idea but the Crucible is quite simply the worst thing to ever happen to ME.

Priority Rannoch wasn't as great as people are claiming it to be. I'll give you Tuchanka, but Rannoch. No. It was very tedious and there was little emotional value as the Mordin scene on Tuchanka. I mean the Quarians just got back there homeworld, where's the emotion? Plus the whole thing was a bit forthcoming, the the geth conflict and all. You would think there would be a small twist due to rewriting the geth in ME2, but sadly no. So it was on the prdictable side.

I actually like the crucible.

[Han Shot First]

Although the main game wasn't without a few flaws, up until the ending I had thought that Mass Effect 3 was the best game in the series.

For me it's a tie between ME2 and ME3.

That mission was pretty incredible as it gave the game a galactic perspective and it was a reminder that there was way more at stake than just humanity.
