I agree that there is no such thing as a perfect game. My motivation for giving it a perfect score is not because I think the game is perfect. I would honestly give the game a 9.3 (ME 2 is a 9.6 but that doesn't mean I like ME 2 better, I just think ME 2 has more polish)
And I'm happy for you, as difficult as that might be to believe. I WISH I could just sit back relax and play the previous titles and this one over and over again.
But I personally cant. Because even with the EC DLC it doesn't change the fact that ME3 has almost no sidquests whatsoever, and has a general air of "rushed out the door" to go along with an ending character who's very statements and existence completely invalidates (or is invalidated by) the plot of ME1 and has an ending (Synthesis) that destroys the significance of the role Edi and the Geth had, along with the development of these two within ME2 and ME3
It BREAKS the franchize in and of itself, so to me ME3 deserves a rating of AT MOST 4 and it only goes lower from there for me.
The ONLY way I can see them fixing this is ADDING to this ending, adding more options, more consequences. As it stands I will always pick destroy, because its the one that makes the most sense to me. And this is BAD in a game like Mass Effect because then you kill the replayability since there's only ONE option at the end that can be picked.
It essentially pigeon holes the option for alot of people which no RPG should ever do.
The only way they can fix this is if they keep ADDING to it. If you have 5 endings and out of those five two hell, lets even put 3, because control COULD be an option as well if I suspend my disbelief and don't let my imagination run to far. If out of those five endings 3 are plausible thats fine.
But if you have four endings and out of those four you only have ONE that really appeals to a player (because I've seen people who'll only choose control and people that will only choose synthesis) then this is not anywhere near what was promised both in the implications of the standard of the previous game, or the very crystal clear statements made pre launch
They should not get away with this blatant let down to both their own standards and the promises made to the fans.
And if the only way to hammer that message across is to keep a dismal score of the game on a bunch of websites then "So be it" as far as I'm concerned. And I'll aplaud anyone who carries out an act like that.
