I remember seeing the 10 out of 10 score by GameInformer, and was a taken aback slightly by that. Historically, they gave the first 2 games around a 9.75 out of 10. Ignoring the various opinions about the ending, I'm curious how a game can increase in score with roughly 1/3 of the dialogue options removed, among other major issues and gripes with the title.

I'm no boohoo-er about Mass Effect 3: I still enjoyed the game greatly and gave it a 9 out of 10. It has the best combat of the 3, the best played-out consequences of the 3(though the variety is a bit disproportionate), the best set pieces of the 3, and some of the best level designs of the 3.

Having said that, it's still their opinion. It's one of countless journalistic publications, and shooting them down for their choice is a bit pointless. I disagree with them, but there's little to no reason in demonization.

lol... this industry gets shadier and ****tier each year. Mags no longer have any standards or integrity at all anymore.

[PsiMatrix]

The keywords there are EDITOR'S PICK 2012.

So it's a personal choice by an individual.

Just the editor's pick. Nothing to really see here.

actually, no....

What they do is, each Editor makes their list of Games of the Year. They each list their choices 1-5. #1 being that editors GOTY. The game that gets the most 1st place votes is declared Game Informers GOTY. It'll show all the editors picks in the issue. ME3 was obviously selected GOTY by the majority of the Editors

What a well-reasoned post.


What's it doing on BSN?

[Bourne Endeavor]

They keep advertising this game where your choices matter. When can I play it?

Not surprised.

Still not better than ACIII, because I said so.

AC3 was fun. For a while. Sneaking up on deers in the forest, stringing up guards in trees..
However, the voice acting was horrible, in my opinion. At least compared to ME3. That, was out of this world.

Then it should  read EDITORS' PICK 2012

cure the genophage or not? King Wrex...or is it King Wreave? What was Mordin's fate? Destroy the Geth or side with the Quarians....or Peace? Who did you romance? What was your final choice that consequently gave the Galaxy an actual future for the first time ever?


Just to name a few choices....


Granted, Bioware still told "their" story. But we the player decided the details in which it plays out.

Haha- took the words out of my mouth Alan...  clearly Dominus got lost on his way to wherever the reasonable folks hang out.

You're citing the only choices that have some effect on the story but...

- Mordin, while good, gets a perfect stand in if he died in ME2.
- The Geth/Quarian conflict is undercut by one of the endings causing genocide to the Geth.
- Who you romanced is irrelevant and if it happens to be someone from ME2, well too bad.
- My final choice was being allowed to win by the Reapers.

I don't know, ME3 was really the best game I've played so far this year..from 2012 I mean.

Maybe Far Cry 3 will change my mind.

[Slayer299]

That is just sad and pitiful on gameinformers's part.

If one ever needed any proof that gaming "journalism" is a joke at its best and a purchased platform at its worst, this is it.

[sr2josh]

I know legions of fans were disappointed with the endings but I for one do not disagree that ME3 is game of the year worthy.

[nos_astra]

 Really? 

That's just weird. I'm sure there were games that are better done. I mean, I can spot the flaws a mile away.

Or maybe it's just the nerd in me who is dissatisfied and the average gamer just goes in, shoots stuff, doesn't think to hard and enjoys that Special McAwesomesauce got to save the galaxy and became a legend. 

Edit: So it's just GI's favorites? Ok, that was to be expected.

Bad game is still bad and ME3 was a truly massive failure, no doubt. Facts.

[Ranger Jack Walker]

It's fun watching everyone here rage.

[LilLino]

I don't know...what's the best game of 2012 for you guys? I mean seriously. I've had like 23 hours of pure enjoyment of ME3 then this ending crap..

But any other 2012 game didn't even give me 20 hours of enjoyment this year. Dishonored? Nope, not really. Black Ops 2? Yeah right...

If I had to choose any game I played this year it'd be contest between Battlefield 3, Witcher 2 or StarCraft 2. Man that'd be tough.

 At least GI used the real shepard on the cover :whistle::devil:
