I didn't like the ending myself, but the impotent rage people are expressing over this is just hilarious. It's like they all just suddenly realized how small the pond they've been making big waves in really is.

This post makes literally no sense.


Welcome to the BSN.


Nah, just the Seival/Dreman/txgoldrush/Our_Last_Scene cesspit of stupidity.

Not every aspect of ME3 was streamlined. Customization and leveling, for example, had been expanded on.


Customisation itself broke a number of things with the Lore and phsyics (example: extended barrels wouldn't affect damage output) though thats an actual "nitpick".

In the areas where the game actually mattered, the dialogue, the role playing aspect as shepard, that took an unforgiveable step back.

1. Sniper rifles, which have longer barrels then the other guns, have been doing most damage since ME1.
Also, we had barrel upgrades since ME1.
2. Auto diaolgue has not effected role playing out side of the people who want to play as psychos.

It deserved it. It has been by far my most played game of the year, and it was overall a fantastic game. It was a great conclusion to a fantastic series.



(Note: I didn't say I thought the ending was great. But ME3 as a conclusion to the series was, quite frankly, amazing.)

but it wasn't. Did you play the other games? It removed most of what made them amazing.

That is so not true about auto-dialogue.  I was forced to agree with the Alliance, feel sorry for the idiotic asari, and worst of all I can't team up with TIM.

If everyone here really feels it's such blasphemy that a game that's obviously taken up so much of their time got GOTY (and clearly continues to do so), remember when Lord of the Rings: ROTK swept the Oscars whereas the first two didn't. It's likely that the series as a whole played a big influence in ME3 getting the award rather than just ME3 alone. As for the ending, ME3 isn't even close to being the only game that's praised for 98% of its content but despised for its ending.

Btw, ME1 came out in 2007 so it had much stiffer competition.

Also, another example of BSN providing valuable negative feedback while neglecting what Bioware did right:

No one ever mentions how the reputation system has been fixed to where Paragades aren't penalized for not having either paragon/renegade bar filled up. To me that's a huge improvement since before I'd have to glitch or cheat with my paragades in order to resolve conflicts that would need high Paragon or Renegade.



Bioware fixing a problem is good, but why should they be given GOTY when they fixed a mistake that shouldn't have been there in the first place? 


I never said they deserved the reward for it. I'm simply pointing out that BSN tends to forget out instances of what Bioware did right.

Skyrim was last year's highest rated champ. Skyrim is a 96. Cod mw3 is an 88. It only sold the most, not scored the most.


Let's remain honest here: Skyrim got a 96, and COD MW3 got an 88. Neither were worth the score.

By your taste but the world is not ruled by your taste.  Why should I take your opinion over others?

This is probably one of the few decisions they've made that I agree with.  Absolute masterpiece.

And? A game is a game is a game. If a game scored higher than ME3, then ME3 cannot statistically be the highest rated.

The alliance is building the crucible. TIM would only allow you to work for him if you were an indoctriated slave. And the scene that Shepard was feeling sorry was not fault of the general Asari population, just there governement. It cold not to feel sorry for the general public of a race who had no say in what it's government did in secret.

I like ME3, but only half as much as ME1 or 2. It's not a GOTY for me.

This reminds me of Lord of the Rings Return of the King winning 11 Oscars....only because it was the end of a large story that took a trilogy to tell. (the other two movies were better, but didn't win any awards in the years of their releases).

ME3 is similar to LOTR trilogy in that I think all the praise from the previous two games was being put on the 3rd game because together they all act as a single story.

Added, ME3 has massively more grades then the higher rated games.

Do you have the slightest idea why sniper rifles tend to be longer than other weapons? It sure as sh*t isn't so they have higher stopping power.

Auto dialogue doesn't affect role playing? Is that why it bothers me when autoShep just sort of plays along with the ME2 characters tissue-thin excuses for not joining up? Cause, y'know, it's no big deal, they're just ****** poor.

Do people really care?


Yes, because this is how BioWare will judge how the next game will be like. If anything it will be streamlined even further.

So is "streamlined" the new buzzword replacing "simplified"?

Well, is that necessarily a bad thing?

I have zero sympathy for the asari councilor, the person you are forced to apologize to.  The Alliance is incompetent without Shepard, they are holding him back, he spends half the game putting out fires that they should take care of.  Cerberus gets results, whatever the cost

Again, and? ME3 could have a million marks, but it wouldn't nullify the other 5 games that scored higher. Especially considering that metacritic is an aggregate review site, taking averages.

A flawed game but not a totally crazy choice either. I would have picked Halo myself.

The real problem for EA-BW is that their disingenuous pre-launch marketing campaign will create a situation where jilted fans will drown out the marketing benefit from winning these awards.

The axiom of reaping what you sow and all that. I personally think the hangover from the ME3 marketing campaign will shadow BW for years maybe even to the end of their brand.
