"The reason why Mass Effect was the best trilogy was because after playing Mass Effect 1 and 2 your heart was so attached to the game, but to have such an emotional ending with the best soundtracks every made the ending very dramatic. The series felt like it was ripped from your heart, to have nothing left to continue."

Well the Titanic and Hindenburg had great journies, but if you crash and burn in the end, it's still going to suck.

Both Journey and destination matter. Sadly ME3's destination was a trainwreck.

Apart from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Mass Effect 3 was a wonderful game. Some things may not have impressed the most hardcore of fans, but it in general was quite good.

It wasn't just the ending that made ME3 a poor ending to the trilogy. It was also what they did with decisions, auto-dialogue, making ME2 completely pointless, etc.... I could go on and on.

People go on a journey to get somewhere. That is literally the ENTIRE point.

So why is a game being compared to a journey?

The start was cool, the traveling was fun, but then at the end, horrible things occured and you can't look back at how fun it was because the end leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.

This needs to be framed and hung on every wall in Bioware's office.

I don't judge ME3 just because the ending

The fact that the all of the endings are simply variations of the same ending is the problem.

I am struggling with the desire to replay the trilogy again solely based on the fact that I know I am stuck talking to the Intelligence no matter what.

In this case, it's even worse than a binary ending choice, because at least in that case, the endings are completely different.

I don't disagree with your other points, but ME2 itself created a large problem by taking the story off on (essentially) a tangent, creating way too many squadmates (thus forcing the writers to find a way to stuff them all into ME3), and introducing more than a few wacky elements (the whole dying and resurrected thing still annoys me).

ME3 definitely has issues (although I still enjoy playing most of it), but I think at least some of the issues were - if not unavoidable - brought on from ME1 and (especially) 2, and there wasn't necessarily a 'good' way to get around them.

I agree. I have seen many people who praised the game while playing it for the first time totally do a 360 after the ending, then start claiming it was a horrible game and then start nitpicking at every detail. I understand how the ending could do that, I'd be lying if I said that the ending hasn't soured my feelings on playing multiple Shepards through all 3 games (Same ending really, no matter her/his alignment or decisions). But overall, it was still a great trilogy, even if it went out with a....well...bang (and not a positive bang imo). 

The endings left a bitter taste in my mouth, but I still love the game and the 2 before it.

If there is no destination why would anyone Journey anywhere?

Also Journey

Plus why am I answering your thread, all your threads are trolls.

I agree. Shepard being resurrected serves no narrative purpose, except for some "funny" one-liners here and there. Project Lazarus is also the biggest space magic ever ^_^

But despite its myriad flaws, I enjoyed the journey....

The ending of Mass Effect 3 proved it was an intelligent game, one written by a clever, progressive thinker, who clearly wanted the story to mean something. Not everyone's going to understand a story like that, but that says more about the reader than it does the story.

I can honestly say I never said I didn't like the game because if the ending just didn't like the ending the rest of the game was great for me

The ending is just as important as the journey

calling the ending of mass effect 3 the most important part of the entire trilogy is a monumental understatement.

It was an excellent piece of theatre.
I was upset that I didn't get to see the whole thing.



Joking aside. I don't think the Lincoln assassination, Titantic disaster and Hindenberg disasters are good analogies.


A video game doesn't need to have a good ending to be worth while. Though it helps.

Who cares about ending a million year old cycle when you can remember having gay sex on board the normandy?
Why is BSN so homophobic?
