Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2, I think everyone pretty much agrees that both were terrible.
Terrible? DA2 was certainly nowhere near as good as Origins, but I'd call it mediocre, not terrible. As for ME3, it was very good except for the last ten minutes.
They were terrible for me. I played both games I think about 2 or 3 times while I played their predecessors for innumerable times. DA2 was 50 hours of the same dungeons, the fedex quests, a boring city and a handful of uniteresting characters, I think the only characters I like were Varric, Isabela and Aveline, everyone else was boring.
Mass Effect 3 had auto dialogue, the same fedex quests, the citadel was boring, it was nothing compared to ME1's citadel. There was a WHOLE war going on and most of the time you ended up in the backwater areas of the galaxy like Tuchanka, Rannoch and a bunch of other planets that I bet no one even remembers. The only times you're ever present in a place it wasn't like that was probably in one mission or nowhere near the good places. We didn't even set foot on Palaven, we went to some facilty in the ass end of nowhere in Sur'Kesh and we never really saw much about Thessia and even then when you were in the middle of a warzone like Earth you went nowhere near anything exciting, that had to be the most boring mission ever, its like they didn't even try. Let's not forget about the Deus Ex ending which was completely out of character with the series. I have nothing against bittersweet but they did it wrong. The ending is a big issue but the game has so many other faults aside from it.
These are my opinions, those two games were terrible, there's nothing more to it. I hope DA:I won't be but I wouldn't bet on it.
