Sigh, it's almost as bad as i expected.. what's the worst thing is that not a single official reviewer has got the balls to says this and reflect this on the score... Look at metacritic.. Average review score is 92/100 and average user score is 3.2/10!! Biased much? It's a fucking disgrace imo to fuck up the final part of what could have been a legendary trilogy... /sad

Don't get me wrong its still a great game but once you finish it it leaves a sour taste. + Show Spoiler +
boy did they mess up the endings . I mean none , zero , nada , zilch nothing you ever decided in 3 games actually makes a difference in the end. Not to mention how incredibly bad the endings you can chose from are and that they are very much alike. Hell there's not even an epilogue to wrap things up. You chose blue/red/green ending . Game over end of story i mean literally just stuff blows up and then its game over. The ideas behind the endings actually are ok but the way implemented them was just horrible. At least do more explaning in the end and tell us what happens to the crew members.

agree with most people about the ending

+ Show Spoiler +

regardless of the choice you make, your squadmates and allies are pretty much screwed. so they crash land on some planet. tali never gets to return to her homeworld she spent her whole life fighting for, wrex never gets to see the krogran cured of the genophage, your love interest never gets to see you again.

and as for the destruction of the mass effects/synthetics, everyone is put into the dark ages, not to mention the millions of dudes stranded in places for from their homeworlds

and the catalyst and origin/goal of the reapers didn't even make sense

Same was with DA2. I guess reviewers look at Bioware games through green colored glasses of dollar bills.

Maybe every other game that comes out these days is complete crap and compared to those it's awesome.

It's more likely that Reviewers, are yes, pressured by their firms to provide positive reviews to high-value games. ME3 is definitely a high value game.

That said, they are also likely a little bit more objective than your standard reviewer. If ME3 is getting poor ratings from the general populace, its most likely over the crap with the release date DLC and such, not the game itself.

I personally find the game to be very similar to ME2, which wasn't bad, so how ME3 can be considered to be bad when ME2 wasn't is beyond me.

I personally enjoy the classes and weapons, they are individual enough from ME1 in which they all performed much the same, and ME2 where there was a very limited selection, and the 'newer' ones were always best. The enemy selection is fun enough, acting is ok, environ is 'darker' than normal, but that's fine too.

That and the Multiplayer is deceptively amusing.

The user score isn't based on gameplay. It's people who are mad at having to buy collectors adition for day 1 downloadable content or buy it separately. Nothing to do with the game. Just like DRM when it's automatically voted the lowest it can be for example spore, etc.

I liked it, but the ending was really lame ^^.

First time? You do know people troll review sites, popular games like halo zelda etc haters rate them 1.0s Same with this game, oh shit origin imma hate i never played this game imma rate it a 1, day 1 dlc AWJAOSDIJAS rate em down. No review site no matter how bad the ending of a story would give a game a 3 or a 4 just because they didn't like the ending. It's about the overall package, the complete single and multilayer experience. Bias much? What's silly is that attitude, i hate the ending so the whole thing is horrible, one bad spot so the whole thing must pay?

Some might also be doing it after they completed the game. I really was disapointed after the endings even tho it was a fairly good game(Amazing you can fuck your ending up this bad tho)

only a butt hurt person would give it such a bad score, if really the story is disappointing then me2 would deserve a similar score. Frankly me2 story is pointless, + Show Spoiler +
they kill Shepard in the begging of the game for no other reason but to make him into space jesus and give him to work with Cerberus usually killing a character to have him come back to life creates new cracks in a personality of that character but Sheppard is ever the same, be barely gives his death a 2nd thought. ME2 main story is horrible, but the game play is fun and the side stories of the characters is nice, although not really interconnected.

It was basically the final minute of the game, and the entire narrative just came crashing down. Everything up to that point had been so good.

Regardless, I am now feeling like shit. Mass Effect

Game would've been one of my favorites ever if the + Show Spoiler +
crucible was just a giant space gun that killed reapers and everyone got to enjoy themselves in the citadel bar next week. Nope, 3 terrible choices with little actual resolution of all the intrigue they built up on top of being completely detached from revolving around you and your teammates in what has been an entirely character driven story.


Super fun game, atrocious ending, as per usual. So few series with multiple games actually conclude in a satisfactory way.

Exactly. I was really really depressed with the ending.

My FemShepard died to control the Reapers, her love Liara was massacred by the Reaper next to the Beam to Citadel, Tali too, Mass Relays are dead, civilizations are technically sent backwards thousands of years, only Joker and EDI survived on some planet and may never get out. I mean...why? I dont like cheesy happy endings, but this? Even if you somehow manage your Shepard to live, it doesnt really matter, because he/her will never meet her partner and friends again...it was just so... pointless...

How do you know they'll never meet again? You're jumping to conclusions. The Normandy was at the fight on Earth, but they crash land on some remote planet it seems, how does that imply they'll never be saved? All the ships in the galaxy didn't explode, there are still spare-faring species in the galaxy, the only thing is that they can't jump quickly from galaxy to galaxy.

If you destroy synthetics, it's very much possible that you're rescued and reunited with your team.

If you control the reapers, you're dead so it doesn't really matter. There's a chance your team gets rescued though.

If you synthesize all life, then you're dead, but the same as control, your squad isn't necessarily fucked.

It's still a very low average, it doesn't mean it really deserves a 3/10 but it clearly means this is not a great game to be remembered. To 6 or 7 for ME3 is about right but critics giving it 90+ make my heart sad.
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

I can guarantee you that the 3 score is purely because of people pissed about day 1 dlc or Origin and haven't even touched the game. I mean modern warfare 3 for x360 has a goddamn average 3.2 on metacritic, does anyone here think MW3 should be in the same leage as ME3?
