My favorite part of this thread are the people saying they played the game multiple times even after the ending ruined it


I don't know what's hard to believe about that. ME3 is one of those games I was glued to my screen with the majority of the way, full of ups and downs (emotionally), and then only in the last 5 minutes getting this deflating, demoralizing, pointless feeling where all I could say was "Huh?" But I'm not going to hate on all the good stuff I saw just for that.

The levels, stories, and characters are the product of many people, so I can seperate it. Whoever did the ending though (Walters, I guess) is alone responsible. Some people think he intended to drag the whole franchise down, and sometimes I do.. but if I have any small say about it, I won't let it happen. The best I can do is just set it off to the side.


Heres how the story is told around net:

One of the devs posted on Penny Arcade forum and said that Casey Hudson and Mac Walters didnt go for peer review, they basically shut themselves in an office and came up with the ending there, then told others to do it, go hell or highwater. He later denied this and the post was deleted, but I think it was done more to protect him and the firm.

I think the ending and its refusal to change can be attributed mostly to the ego of these two men, thats how many view it at least. I wasnt there so cant say for sure, but wouldnt be surprised if this was the ultimate reason.


Yeah, I've heard about that. It sounds extremely selfish. Sometimes vision and selfishness are great too, don't get me wrong. Just depends on the project. But I think Mass Effect is one of those things that are bigger than any one or two people. That attitude works early on in a series, but not now. At this point, they're irresponsible, if it's true.

I still play it through it. :-D I have all of my weapons at level X except for Predator, because it's bugged for every system unless you save edit it. I still love to hang out and crap even if I have romance over and over again. :(

why would i waste my time playing old games(that i've already played)?Doesn't make sense


Really?  If it's a good game I replay  it, maybe not often, but I still replay most of BioWare Games.  KOTOR, JE come out of the drawer every few years.  Played Me1 off and on for 5 years and ME2 from the time it came out.  Still pull out DA:O and DA2.  If a game is satisfying on all levels, I'll play it till the cd is so worn I have to pick up a new one.

ME3.  Sadly, I played a few times, didn't get the amount of satisfaction I have had with the other games and haven't played it.  Might someday.

:lol: I do like the console mainly for this reason, it's a lot easier to pop the cd in and start playing, but I also play on the pc, and some games I have for both the console and pc.  Usually ones that have mods, I have an addiction to mods for weapons, companion stuff and of course better clothing and hair.  :o  I start out on the console and then pick up the pc version for the mod action if it pulls me.  

I have 3 games currently on the laptop pc I got for my birthday from my husband and kids a couple of years ago -
Skyrim, The old Republic and FA new vegas which I've played 2 times on the xbox 360 and have added some mods to the pc copy.  I had FA3 but took it off for now, though I did finish a game on the 360 last month.  On an old PC I have my guilty pleasure, Sims 3.    I've also got my pc and xbox copy of DA:O, Morrowind & Oblivion, though I haven't played them for awhile.

I'm sort of picky about the games i buy and those game get played for years and years.  The only MMO game I like is the old republic because I play it by myself.  Played Guild wars until I had to ask for help to open a door.  I think I'm a bit antisocial where gaming is concerned.

I honestly haven't played since finishing my mehem runthrough after Citadel release. I still mean to go back & complete my main Shep's (complete) runthrough as well as my femshep's one but honestly the trainwreck of an ending is a definite mood killer. Instead the likes of dragon age & my witcher playthroughs are getting priority.

It's funny, even though there's a lot in them, once I finish a TES game like Skyrim, I can't go back.

Bioware games are different somehow. Like rewatching a favorite TV series.

Yes. I do the 1-3 playthrough constantly. I tend to make all of the decisions for that Shepard in advance- for example, okay, I'm going to be a stuck up paragade engineer spacer who has a thing for Garrus this time around, and I'm going to rebuff everybody else's advances as though I'm too good for them. That Shepard won't get along with Miranda and will probably side with Jack, and she'll love and stick to a specific armor color and pattern after ME1, etc...
After all that is planned out and pictured mentally, I'm just going to enjoy watching things falling into place and the thrill of sniping geth.
My husband and I still play multiplayer together a few times a week too.

Haven't played for quite some time now.

Waiting for DA:Inquisition, and then for the price to drop. Bioware lost their pre-order purchase untouchable status with DA 2, SWTOR, and ME 3 ending.

Mass Effect 3 was the best of the three games and a lot of fun in general.
Of course that is my opinion but I am not alone. I have played through the game seven times with my six Shepards. Every decision I make in the game dosen't need to have galaxy crushing weight for me to enjoy the game. Sometimes I just sit back and enjoy things without being overly critical. I don't generally watch TV shows, movies, read books or play games then sit down and think about what I hated about it. This only happens if I truly dislike something. I can overlook something as long as I am entertained. That being said the game I can't stand in this current generation was Aliens: Colonial Marines. The game was so bad I couldn't finish it. If you felt this way about Mass Effect 3 I can understand where your coming from.

I agree with your post because this is how my six Shepards where created. I also still play multiplayer with my wife.

My last Full dlc playthrough PROVED me that Mass effect 3 is complete, is the emost emotional
and gave me reason to replay the trilogy in the future.

Bethesda games and Bioware games are universes apart in terms of style and gameplay, so your comparison falls flat.

That's like saying that FIFA is a better soccer simulator than Super Mario Strikers, despite them both being soccer games.

I'm about to finish the whole trilogy run with DLC since ME1 made in to the PSN store. Just not looking forward to the end. Still leaves a sour and bitter taste in my mouth. The Citadel DLC sweetened it a bit.

I haven't played since just after the EC, but I am thinking of starting a full 3 game playthru. Hence the reason I am looking at the boards, debating whether to buy the Citadel DLC.

The Citadel DLC is the only reason to play ME3. If you're on the 360 and the 600 MS points for Omega is still on that's worth it as well. Kill Petrovsky for me again. He's an ass. It's a fun romp with Aria. Don't expect much role play. If you're a goody-two-shoes forget it though. You won't enjoy Omega.

Just play through the Coup. Then lock in your LI. Then go straight to the Citadel DLC. Forget the war. Party. End the Citadel DLC and put the game back in the box. The rest of the story sucks.

I still enjoy playing ME3. The last few weeks, I've forced myself to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution, BioShock Infinite (again), and Crysis so I don't start yet another trilogy playthrough.

Even the ending can't diminish my love of the setting and the characters. Love being a part of it.

No, don't play it anymore. And that doesn't have to do with my opinion on the ending (no me gusta). It was kind of the same when I tried to replay part of ME 2: Once I've gone through it, I know what will happen, what people will say and the illusion of the story being alive disappears. Sure I can choose differently in some situations - try renegade/paragon where I haven't in the first run - but the differences mostly aren't worth it for me.

Soldier with weapon damage build with the Typhoon and Kishock is pretty awesome in Omega.

You hit it for me.  I enjoy the combat in ME2 and 3. I enjoy the story in ME1 the most. But man, those elevator rides get me every time. ;) Crazy thing. So I replay ME2 and 3 often now. I know the story... but I love the action and in ME3's case the music is just amazing. The only part of ME3 I don't like is that run around in the Geth conscience with  Legion, tons of lore but BORING.

My favoriate DLC is Citadel (of course). But close seconds are Omega, Leviathan and Shawdow Broker. All 3 have great battles and great stories. Plus I'm a huge lore hound. I read and listen to EVERYTHING in a game. 

All in all, given the combat, music, graphics, attention to detail (like all the conversations in the Citadel - those are great), and general story line I STILL think ME3 is one of the best on the market right now.

Other games I'm playing now: Spec Ops. The line - a decent shooter but an even better story; and gonna start playing Dues Ex - somehow that escape my radar and I hear it's great.

I can enjoy it on face value, as long as I dont think about the bad points of it too deeply. Simple sludge entertainment...
