Mass Effect 3

[BobSmith101]

Overall, was a fun game. Even the ending(s) weren't as bad as I expected from all the butthurt, thought somesort of epilogue would have made them A LOT better. The scene with unknown planet and normandy felt like bioware saying "thanks for your money, we will be expecting more if you want an actual ending for the trilogy in the future!"

 

Personally I think ME2 is the best in the trilogy, but this isn't far behind in my books.

 

The ending reminded me of those really old arcade machine that would say "You win Game over" "Please insert coin to continue" putting a DLC message at the end was very tacky.

 

I'd stick with ME2 overall as well. Lots of highpoints in ME3 but lots of low points too. ME2 is a more even ride.I miss rolling a lot more than I thought I would though.

You kinda wish for a cover toggle button and a roll button rather than just the one button. I did nijna rolls practically everywhere, trying to activate consoles, running around etc. Still better with than without rolling though.

They've been doing that from DAO onwards, at least.

Never knew that.I had the complete DAO and ME2 with all the DLC already available. I've all but blanked the memories of DA2.

If you guys didn't take the time to watch all nine different endings, here they are in one

[Gorgon]

I could get exited about a proper adon, but no one makes those anymore. If it's just going to be same size and scope as Me2 I don't think I'll give the game anymore thought.

That's pretty cool.

[Drowsy Emperor]

But that's all... one exact same video.

 

Did they really stoop so low?

 

Also, someone please tell me this didn't happen:

Gonna be interesting to see if DA:Awakening will become the last proper expansion. They outright said they were planning one for ME2, I guess that became LotSB, in the end. They'd probably need one to dig themselves out of the hole, now...

[Giantevilhead]

The only thing that's fascinating there is how indoctrinated some people are that Bioware can't fail.

 

Actually they haven't even failed.

 

They just made the same game for the third time, including the crap ending. People are making an effort to forget the immensely stupid final boss of ME2 and the silly final mission is because there was the holy third game that would magically make sense of all the nonsense that had piled up sky high at that point.

 

The simple truth is that Mass Effect was made to be just as shallow, clich

"They outright said they were planning one for ME2"

 

First I heard of this.

Oh wow, some people are putting way too much thought into this.

 

It's a friggin' game.

 

And those fans who "demand" to get the ending(s) changed are just spoiled brats who never learned from their parents to accept "No" as an answer.

 

The ****, it's been a couple dys since I finished ME3 and I'm already forgetting some details, that's how much I care about this all. Or maybe it's early dementia...?

Does Anime count?

Huh? If you aren't emotionally invested in the game in any way, seriously, for teh lulz, or even for guilty pleasure, then why even wasting time playing it? Why even care if some else did?

 

I haven't played the game myself, but atleast i understand why people seem to dislike the ending for the reasons mentioned in the article. Also, one of the tenets of consumerism is to listen to the customer feedback and input to begin with. Unless ofcourse the game was something of pure art and not a consumer product aimed to sell.

[Volourn]

The only customer feedback that matter is $ not the lunatic rantings of the internet rabid fringe.

 

People claimed that DA2's 'poor' showing would doom future BIO games like ME3 and it hasn't. Money talks, opinions stinks.

[Gorgon]

Money has **** all do to with quality. The lunatic fringe is correct in this particular instance. Although generally speaking internet fan-rage is not much good for anything, it tends to prohibit any kind of dialouge and constructive critisism.

[Volourn]

The lunatic fringe is WRONG in this case.

[Nonek]

So gentle gamers all, in your discerning opinion, is it worth playing through ME2 again to get an import into this game or should I just be happy with Shep dying on the suicide mission. If answered in the affirmitive is it: BUY IT NOW YOU BENIGHTED FOOL, or wait for the inevitable release on steam and subsequent sale.

[Raithe]

I'd buy it now. You can get 30+ hours of enjoyment out of it. The journey is fine. The gameplay is decent, and there's some truly nice moments in it.

 

Hell, the Priority: Tuchanka piece manages to go from amusing moments to some really bittersweet and it does so coherently and works.

 

From Wrex's "My advice, avoid the giant laser beam..." to Mordin's "Anyone else might do it wrong."

 

The main issue people have with it is the final 10 minutes that ends the story. Oh, and the beginning is a bit drawn out. It takes about 2-3 hours introduction and partial tutorials spread across a couple of missions and a hunk of intro cutscenes.

[Gorgon]

Not going on STEAM ever. Origin is trying to beat them at their own game. The import adds some extra flavor although the biggest choice you made had no influcence above a bit of dialouge whatsoever.
