When I was waiting for the first actual dialogue wheel to show up, but sadly its apparently dead and had been replaced by a tuning fork which was hardly used. Also can't remember any interrupts, I liked those, but I guess that would have required them to make alt. cut scenes, which was apparently too much to suddenly expect them to continue doing.

When Vega came in.

Hackett telling me about Ancient Prothean Super-Weapon Plans that were on Mars all along. Yup, this is where it hit me. Also - my Shepard being all over Liara during Mars mission, even when I dumped her in Shadowbroker DLC.

When my Shepard talked to Vega, Anderson, and everybody else like he was perfectly fine with the Systems Alliance taking his ship, most of his credits, and locking him up for a few months (while the reapers advance ever closer).

I think it's pretty inevitable on internet forums. But I was just trying to be helpful! The original quote in question made sense to me.

Whether in game or out of the game, I reject anything as inevitable or impossible. 

This emphasised for truth, it is utterly ridiculous that Shepard cannot strive for the impossible, a standard which Bioware set for him/her to do.

Nothing happening between Arrival and ME3's opening. Not a good way for a game to start off, since apparently the only thing Shepard did was get himself arrested and do nothing but get fat. Or at least that's what Anderson jokes about at any rate. Combine this with a "who the hell is Vega?" moment, and the general idiocy that is the Alliance/Galaxy at large, and yeah...

Actually, I was enjoying the game sooo much that I didn’t mind a few little things and inconsistencies here and there. I didn’t even mind the radical change of pace after Shep is blasted with the laser beam…then, the biggest WTF of the game happened:
 
Shepard pointing his gun at Anderson and pulling the trigger. I had to passively watch how my Shepard raised his gun and shot a friend and mentor….everything went to sh*t after that…

Believe it or not, I didn't notice anything wrong until floating up to the Catalyst.

I was on too much of a high from playing the final game to notice its other flaws. Now, on my SECOND playthrough...

this.

with the exception that my attempts at "second playthroughs" all peter out around the time you reach the citadel.

lets see just on earth;

this is the future surely you can get a remote controlled ship.

Am i supposed to care about Vega? i mean he's talking to shep but i don't know he is.

Anderson!? what are you doing here and why are you an admiral? you got demoted from being the most powerful person in the galaxy? for defending me? a spectre? that seems...unlikely.

what do you mean i've been here 6 months? how did i get here? shouldn't there have been a trial or something. hang on where have my crew been during this time. what do you been you took my ship and all my stuff i'm a spectre and a commander god dammit...

Ashley is that you? have you had a make over? and what are you wearing?

so the reapers are minutes away from earth and this is when you decide to consult me? not the weeks were the batarians were under attack?

really? earths getting attacked at the start? no build up to it or anything okay.

that boy again guess i've got to save him... you can't help me know... is that what you a child has just said? no child would ever say that. oh i'm just letting you go okay fine, hope i never see you again.

how is the normandy here i thought it was too heavy to enter the atmosphere.

anderson you're staying here... because you want me someone the council doesn't trust to get their help instead of you the former councillor...

oh look it that kid again, hmm if he's just been blown up why doesn't the reaper fire at the normandy? i mean surely i'm a better target, i'm bigger more important and i'm stationary.

I do not know if others may agree with me but one my moments was when I found out Cerberus and TIM were against me.

My Shepard was on good terms with TIM and agreed with him a lot in ME2, but was confused as to why he and Shepard were mortal enemies all of a sudden. Either Bioware had no idea on what to do with him and Cerberus in ME3 or they did not do a good enough job explaining or showing why he was against Shepard.

So why would The Illusive Man spend billions of credits to bring back one man/woman only to fued with them later? I just felt like the writing team murdered his character in ME3. He could have been done much better justice.

Just my thoughts.

I can see what you mean-just my Shepard pretty much told TIM to go F off.

But, since the idea is to help Earth (UGH) then you'd think TIM would be all in.


Ok I have to say this.  I'm an American and we do tend to be America-centric.  My parents were Canadian so no disrespect meant here, but....

How can it be that Canadians created an Earth-centric ending to a game that was about the whole galaxy uniting to help the galaxy.  I mean, I see that as basically what we get accused of being (yes true at times) and then this it's ok to be myopic in a video game.  This just always felt wrong to me.  But then I've always wanted my country to consider other country's needs along with our own (not instead of).

So, I could see Shepard saying Earth needs help and trying to get help there if other planets weren't under attack too.

First "hang on" moment?

...

Logging on here at any giving time and seeing the retarded amounts of vitriol directed towards BioWare staff and other users over unimportant opinions and so-called disappointment from disgruntled gamers who had a vision of ME3 set within stone in their heads and flew so far off the handle when it was different from that pre-set status quo.

The amount of people who feel personally betrayed by BioWare is absolutely insane. What's worse is the fact that they vent there misplaced anger here on BSN.

I can't even stand to post here anymore as any positive thing I say earns me 15 people telling me how wrong I am with their arrogant "facts" as to why. If I try to debate, I am met with hate.

That was my first "you have to be kidding me" moment.

I agree 100 percent with your post. I also agree with allot of the "What the..." moments people are had.  But the bigger issue is sense of entitlement many people on these forums for this game to live up to their expectations. Sure I wanted some things to be different, and some promises weren't kept (For me keeping Ashley as a love interest all the way through didn't have the promised payoff (No Regrets!)).

But what is lost in all the Negativity is the game is F-ing awesome! One of the best games of the past few years. People want to nitpick at plotholes and bad science, but newsflash, most SciFi is full of Plotholes and Bad Science. Just enjoy the ride and appreciate that we can live in someone else imagination...

People's negative opinions on these forums are not wrong. I just wish it wasn't so often and so full of anger.

If all you did was read these forums, you would think BioWare was the Adam Sandler of videogames. 

At least someone gets it. For as bad as people say it is, it is a damn good game that is eons ahead of everything else that is currently out.

When its an standalone Game, ME3 is awesome, it has very emotional moments, and very exciting ends to different storylines of your side characters. And you can't ignore that the main story is definitely lacking.

When you put ME3 as an Trilogy, then its not a awesome game, when compared to ME1 and ME2, the endings was awesome, sure there was a couple things that it lacked, but we were promised that those plot holes will be explained in ME3 so the seed of hope was planted way way back.

So when ME3 finally came out, and you finished the game, and then you started to put all the pieces together and none of it fits, how can that not anger you. When you buy a puzzle that comes in three parts, and Part 1 and Part 2 fits, but Part 3 doesn't, how can you not be angry and mad, you were promised that you will get the whole picture, you were promised that you will Take back Earth , and the way to do so was to gather a force large enough to counter the Reapers. But it all doesn't matter, your War Assets don't matter, all that mattered was talk with Catalyst and choose your color.  It was just a very very lackluster end to an Trilogy.

I played DEUS EX : HR , sure that ending sucked, but still as an Standalone game, I had nothing to compared it to, I have no hopes that promised that I will be able to do this and that. So i took the ending as is and moved on.

ME3 was not a standalone game, its the Third part to an Trilogy.
Another Analogy would be LOTR, if suddenly in the Return of the kings, you got Frodo sitting at Shire talking about a dragon and how that dragon is the New big bad, and that Saurion is no where to be found ( like harbinger) Orcs and Goblins can not be beaten by conventional means and all the characters that you were introduced in the first two movies is just side missions, then you are introduced to a beefed up ranger that has nothing to do with the two movies previously. That movie would suck, because you will be like what the hell just happened.

[Drudez]

When my Shepard first talked to vega knowing who he was and I was like " who is this dude?" GG bioware appealing to "newer" players.

Edit: would also like to add my shep was apparrently OK with said stranger joining my crew.

As soon as I had control of Shep in Vancouver. Seriously, a linear pipeline climb through an empty level? Where is everyone? WHAT ARE THOSE X THINGS POPPING UP?! (when I hit an enemy). HIT INDICATORS? In single player?!

[clarkusdarkus]

When u become a delivery man for randoms on the citadel even tho there's a war going on which in turn is the excuse people give with the lack of side missions.

ME3 as a standalone game is even worse! the side characters your talking about are from previouse games. have you ever played a non import shepard, with no wrex, mordin, or legion? its AWFUL. the game is only emotional because you are running around with people from the two previouse games. thats not happeneing with ME3 as a standalone game.

i dont think ME3 sucks becasue of my expectations. i think it sucks becasue of bioware lack of expectations.

Which is where the flaw in the logic lies given that it shouldn't work as a stand-alone title... third part of a trilogy and all that.

[zeypher]

Then mass effect should not have been announced as a trilogy, if each game was stand alone. They should not have advertised your choices carry forward if each game was stand alone.

[Harlequin2]

My biggest "hang on" moment, was hands down around halfway into Mars. The dialogue wheel had looked funny for a while before I finally realised it - there are only two choices. I actually had to look up ME1 and ME2 screens to make sure that I hadn't just imagined three choices previously.

[xxBabyMonkeyxx]

When I couldn't make Shepard say "Ha ha told you so." to the Council. A bit on the childish side, but that was the ONE thing I wanted to do in ME3. Yet I couldn't do it.
