ME3 was a wet dogfart of a game - it will never get my vote. The ending was utter rubbish.
The ending was rubbish yes but up until the end game where you assaulted the cerberus base, it was pretty good. The Quarian/Geth and Genophage conflict and choices was nice. I especially like how you could renegade the response to the militant quarian admiral and Mordin's paragon end was a nice closure to his character.
The scripting of Kai Leng and his gunship on Thessia could have been worked better and the addition of the kid and the slo mo sequences to milk sympathy was so obvious it was an insult to intellect but that was about it.
I can agree with your points - but my choice is final. ME3 does not deserve to be in even the top ten.
The Crucible idea was terrible - especially how at first it could kill ALL of the Reapers in one instance, yet was unable to do anything in the next. The only way to defeat the Reapers is to use Reaper tech? Ever play ME2 ?.......'nuff said. Kai Leng / Thessia sucked hard and was stupid.
The idea of uniting the galaxy to fight the Reapers was a great one - yet the galaxy never united. How is it that the Asari - the peaceful negotiator types, decide not to help anyone until they are wiped out on Thessia? Lets not even get into Cerberus going from being a chicken crap outfit into one that is capable of capturing the whole Citadel. None of that trash made any sense.
There was a lot of good work done in ME3, and there was a lot more terrible writing. The whole mood of ME3 sucked. The fact that there is no win absolutely sucked. No Bossfight? No Harbinger crushing finale??
Instead of the game being about taking the characters from ME1 and 2 (that lived) and going to fight the good fight, the game has you use new people. They all sucked, from James to the reporter to the shuttle pilot. I had a crew - one that was tight - finally had Ash back - and they blew it! Why not have bigger battles, use ALL of your squaddies and their powers, find a Prothean superweapon and win the day? Instead, I got Mac Walters depression mode writing - there is no win - only terrible writing, plotholes, and stupidity. The best Bioware can do is starkid and space Jesus? I am ashamed they got my money.
ME3 is not worthy of even mention. Not even third place, or even fifth. Like I said, its not even top ten. Not after those endings and Bioware's condescending attitude.
