    Loving it so far.

    I am playing it on insanity mode atm and finding it a challenge which is just what I want. Hope their is another level after :).

    I love the weapons, but playing a Bio means you tend to use your powers more (ofc), however I still love picking up new weapons and trying them out.

    Don't want to spoil anything, but I am disappointed that one of my fave characters only comes back to talk to you and you cannot use him/her/it (not spoiling). Well so far you cannot as he/she/it (not spoiling), as they don't want to join as they will be no use in their eyes to you. Really gave me a lump in my throat.

    Still at least I have a new fave, Javik... DLC character that I love his voice and whit (Lines like "They used to eat flies") are said so deadpan, it makes me laugh.

    So out of 10 I give it 10 (so far).

    It's stopping me playing TOR and I have to say, the story so far for ME3 is better than the Consular story or the JK story by a large margin.

    Oh and without spoiling anything, all I can say is EDI...

    Finally, sorry for saying "so far" way too much. However it may turn out that the game sucks as I am not even a QTR into it.

    Well I dont want to SPOILER too much, so what to say?

    For the major part the game was an awsome experience from the beginning untill the ending.

    Thats the problem, I mean litarally "until the ending". It sucks. I cant express HOW MUCH it sucks.
    I thought Lost and Battlestar Galactica had reached the maximum on "how disapointing can someone end an epic story", but no, ME 3 proved me wrong.

    And thats sad, I know some people beleive "better an awsome story with a bad ending then a bad story", but honestly, I desagree. If a story that great ends that awfull for me it devaluetes everything before, especially if its one big storyline wich cant be seen disconectet from the ending.

    May be they made it on purpose so we have to buy a DLC for "the real" ending.

    I loved this series.... right up to the ending. While I have no issue with the contents of the ending, they left it full of plot holes and disjointed. People whom were suddenly in one location end up elsewhere with zero explanation, etc. The last ten minutes or so of the game just fell flat. It was almost like None of the choices I made through the trilogy meant a damn thing at the end of it all.

    I loved the game and gameplay and the story kept me guessing until the end. The end reminded of Deus Ex Human Revolution. Thankfully it is free of the c-clip narrative but its not much better.

    I'll have to take some time to think on it before I make any kind of judgement but they certainly could have done better. Too many damned questions left hanging there.

    Wooho, I saved all life in the galaxy...sort of.

    ME3, in my opinion, is awesome. Loved importing my ME1&2 Sentinel into ME3 and start at Level 30. :D

    Word of advice, load up ME2, retrain your powers and save the game before spending any skill points on any power. Then import that save-game to ME3 and you'll be able to start at a high level with any class you want and a good lump sum of unspent skill points. Quite frankly when porting from ME2 class to ME3 class BioWare may make some decisions for you that you would've made differently!


    I haven't started MP yet but look for LordOfPit on the 360 if you wanna join forces. ;)

    EDIT :: Playing as a Sentinel with AR&SMG weapons together with Reave feels great. Regarding the ending, even though I haven't gotten there yet, I'm not surprised some find it disappointing, that's to be expected considering the massive scale of the enemy the Galaxy is faced with. The bigger the enemy the more dissatisfying the ending. ;)

    Mass Effect 3 is one of the most amazing games to come out in 2012, and is really a good fair well to the Shepard Story arc, and the Mass Effect Trilogy.... Until the last 10 minutes

    * Blacked out to save people from getting spoiled *

    WHEN YOU MEET GOD... IT IS A TOTAL DEUS EX MACHINA WITH A CHOICE TO PICK RED, BLUE, OR GREEN.

    *End of Spoilers *

    Needless to say I am disappointed and expected more of Bioware. More so after how amazing the game was 99% of the time.

    Okay some serious spoilers and theories about to take place in this post. added some invso text just to be safe.







    its not the end. the ending that you see is not the actual ending. all of the disjointed nature of the end that people have said is because its not real. the reapers are controlling shepards mind at the end, testing him/her and trying to indoctrinate him/her. you never go to the citadel to try and defeat them. you are still lying in an heap when you get hit by the beam in london and never leave. nothing after that beam hits actually happens other than in sheps mind.

    one of the scenes if you choose to destroy the reapers and have your military strength high enough show you someone in their battered n7 armour taking a breath. shep was not in his/her armour at the end when he/she blows the crucible and probably could not have survived if he/she did. it also suggests because of the rubble that he/she is still there in london. you only see this ending if you choose the destroy option, as shepards mind has broken their attempt to control you.

    the little kid AI is just an image the reapers plucked from his battered mind to try and trick him.

    your crew is suddenly fleeing for no apparent reason and there is no conclusion to what was a story that took over 100 hours to tell. bioware are the masters at story telling. even if the final was bleak they would at least give you some closure. now we have all the mass relays destroyed, tons of ships trapped in the sol system, no resolution to all your characters. nothing seemed to have mattered. they have tricked everybody into thinking its all over. its not.

    they have already said they are going to make DLC and for that they need the story to be left open. even if im totally wrong there will be plenty of story left to wrap up peoples arcs. there is no point making DLC to a story that is already over. they left it open on purpose and just did not tell anybody.

    Here is the whole point. The reapers have not been defeated. bioware have made you think they have been defeated, in the same way harbinger is trying to make shepard think they have been defeated.its playing on peoples emotions.

    This. Especially after they built it up by saying things like "Oh every decision you EVER made will effect the outcome!" While true to a certain level, it just really didn't seem to equate to as much as they made it sound.


    SPOILER BLACKED OUT

    I actually liked the endings you have they're all pretty cool, but I am saddened about the fact that there's not a single choice where you don't destroy intergalactic civilization as we know it rendering just about every choice you made meaningless. I do think they'll do something Fallout-eaque where hundreds/thousands of years later you play a character in a galaxy just starting to reconnect or something.

    SPOILER END

    Overall though brilliant game. I in no way regret the purchase.

    Honestly... I have this bad feeling this is a play to sell more DLC. I don't trust EA, and I would not be surprised if they pushed this on purpose to sell more DLC...

    *Blacked out only for Captain Revo and anyone who doesn't care about being spoiled. *

    Plus is you look at the special destroy ending you see shepard take a breath but also look at the rubble. That is not citadel rubble. That looks like concrete, and honestly it looks like the blackened concrete from the run before you get hit by Reaper beam before the whole ending.

    Well I expected 50 dollars of DLC. but most DLC was set before the ending of the game. ( and the final message after the credits supports that too. ) the only real exception to that was the arrival DLC which was set as a stepping stone between Mass Effect 2 and 3, but that was at the end of the second game in the trilogy.

    But what I am worried about is if EA would try and sell the ending. I understand expansion packs, and stuff like that, but normally when it is the final game in a series you get an ending to the game... who knows... Part of me hates the idea of EA doing that, but the other part of me really hopes they do it.

    I have the game on more than one platform. I finished it on PC. And it's not easy to do it on console too after seeing the ending. I was hoping for a "None of the above and we'll still kick all your @s$es, Reapers" choice. When I reached the end to make a choice, I sat there for about 10 minutes thinking "Where's my none of these?"

    There's been another game I find doing the ending is something I can't see myself doing before. While it wasn't a Bioware game, it's ironic that it's a game made because of Bioware and that game is KotOR II. Once I crashed the Ebon Hawk, I exit the game. I think ME3 will get that same treatment, blast from Reaper ends the game. So Shep dies and the Reapers rule the galaxy for a while. And the crashed crew of the Normandy evolve into Dragon Age where Shep legend becomes the Maker. Garrus and Tali get it on and their descendants become the Blight.

    There were some hints in ME3 that it has ties to Dragon Age especially on the Salarian world where the demo second half takes place. Of course those hints that DA is ME's future has a small problem with ME2's Kasumi DLC DA easter egg.


    It is nice the multiplayer stuff is cross-platform though. My GaW I got to 100% on PC then powered up the console to see it was also at 100. I promoted a MP character to get the war asset on PC and it also appeared on the console.

    .

    There is a very strong group pushing for change on the ending with DLC. ( Were 17500 People strong on our facebook. and there was a pole on BSN and last time I checked it was 31,000 votes for wanting a better ending. ) Were also turning this into a Child's Play charity drive.

    So your not alone on not liking the ending. a LOT of people don't. I am sadly one of them. For me. It has kind of made it up playable. I know that sound strange, but I had plans on playing a few of my other Shepards... now I can't get past Mars. It bugs me because I LOVE Mass effect.. I would say I am as big of a Mass Effect Fan as I am a Star Trek Fan, and must more a ME fan the Star Wars, but after this ending. The universe feels empty and dead to me. ( and no it is not because I want a happy rainbow ending too. I came into the game expecting lots of death... just not like this )


    Anyway Some of us are trying to change. I am not going to post any links because it goes to a different community, but it is easy to find info on google or BSN about the groups that are fighting to change the ending.

    But one thing is for sure... We will hold the line...

    Somewhat spoilery post to follow.









    Going to jump in here and say that I, too was disappointed with the end of ME3. And it's not even the deus ex machina nature of the ending that bothers me so much as, how can I put this, my Shepard deserves her happy freaking ending. In the course of the trilogy she's been shot, blown up, asphyxiated, resurrected, and shot some more. She's pulled the Council's *** out of the fire, spent two years dead, assaulted a secret base orbiting the black hole at the center of the galaxy (without losing a single crew member), and recently united every space faring civilization in the galaxy including the species who really really hated each other. I think, after all of that, Shepard deserves to save the day one last time and then retire to some secluded sandy tropical beach to live the rest of her life sipping mojitos and having blue babies with Liara.

    Other, more spoilery, thoughts are below in black.

    I also found the whole thing with the Catalyst and the origin of the Reapers to be wholly unsatisfying. I think my disappointment here is related more to the abruptness with which it was handled. There's basically no lead up to any of it, you just spend the whole game gathering war assets and allies and the question of who the Reapers are and why they're doing any of this isn't brought up anywhere. Then you're confronted by the Catalyst, which gives you a brief half-***ed explanation that it created the Reapers to keep organic life alive in the galaxy lest synthetics wipe it all out. It's just so far out of left field that it makes no sense. And then you're left with all these questions about the Catalyst and what it's nature is. Maybe the whole thing would be more satisfying if there were some lead up to it. Maybe it would work better if there were three or four side missions where you're trying to figure out the Reapers' origin based on clues starting with some data from the Mars archive that leads to more clues and culminates with your talk with the Catalyst. But as it is, it just comes out of nowhere and doesn't ultimately resolve much of anything.

    more spoilers

    which only confirms what i was saying. you never leave london. if you never leave london, you never make it to the citadel, and you never set off the magic crucible and the reapers never get destroyed. which means they are still alive at the end of the game. they are making DLC for it, so the next logical step is to show you the real confrontation and end the game the way people want.

    trust me, the game is not over and when its all said and done im very confident that everyone will get an awesome ending.whether people like the idea of DLC or not they are making it, and they have said there may even be a lot of it, so take the 'ending' for what it is. a cliffhanger they never told you about.

    But one thing is for sure... We will hold the line...

    I'm prety suprised to be honest.

    Ususally when I see stuff like that I hate it, and when I turn to any kind of forums there is always a number that agrees, but a really GIANT number of fanboys defending what ever TRIBBLE they got. Was the same with the Lost and BSG ending...

    Suprised that basicly no one seems to be on that fanboy train here.



    What I hate MOST about this ending is not what we see, its the consequences of what we see.

    Don't get me wrong I'd love to see my Shepard survive, getting old with his Miranda ect.
    I'd love to see that Vegas guy getting into N7, Garrus and Thali settling down ect ect, but those are singular destinys.

    And of course I'm not pleased with the Normandy wich is supposed in battle in space, filled with people wich are supposed to be on the battle earth suddenly running somewhere with no good reason. WTF?

    And yes I hate that whatever I did seems to be of no consequences for whatever I did. Klilling Wrex? Who cares. Killing the Geth? Doesn't matter. Healing of betraying the Krogans? AND?

    No, what I hate most

    A: is the distruction of the Mass Porals.
    Think of the consequenzes: ALL plolitical leaders of the other Races are ON EARTH. Without the Mass relays they are stuck there.
    And there troops: THOUSANDS of Krogans, wich have the habbit to multiply themselfes prety fast. Thousands of Thuriens. The Geth unless you picked the distruction-option, the quarians.

    I mean the Geth and Quariens where on the start of a new age of piece. Now they are stuck.

    Also: Thousands of Krogans on the Thurien worlds. And without Wrex, who is stuck on Earth, that will not find a good ending.

    B: The distruction of the Citadel.
    There were PEOPLE on it. Thousands of people, if not millions; its prerty big and seemed quied populatet.
    Kelly Chambers, that other Commander and a lot of more people we knew where there.

    There was no mention they were killed when the reapers moved the Citadel, all I know they are still there. Also I did spend a lot of efford during ME3 making the Citadels defenses stronger. And all that simply blows up on a sinde note?
    I really expectet to join up with the people there as soon as I'm up there. But certainly, I didnt expect everything to blow up.

    C: The motivation of the ... photinic child or whatever... REALLY?
    "Order must be mentained": I have even convinced the Prothean that "Our" way of "democracy" mainaining order works as good as the proteans dictatorship. I have even endet the hostiltys between sworn enemys like the Krogans and Thulians, not speaking of the Salarians.

    "All atrificial live will raise above the creator": Someone there obviously likes the crappy BSG ending.
    I mean really? JUST before I headet there I PROOVED that this isnt a law of nature by rejoining Quarians and Geth.
    So where is my "You f**** little brat, open your eyes and look yourself" answer option?

    And the solution: Well.... he wants to prevent the artificaly createt live to erase their creators, and his solution is to erase the life HIMSELF with HIS artificial live.
    Congratulations.

    And the options themselfes: If I destory the repaers I'll kill the Geth wich are about to be peacefull now with em. Great.
    The symbiote option... yeah... changing everyones DNA, just like that.... if the general ending is already "deus ex", this is just bullsh***.
    Controlling the reapers.... well that makes the most sense. So I controll them to fly directly into the next best sun. Problem solved.
    I just dont see why the Mass relays have to be destroyed for ANY of that.

    I don't really get it. This ending is... like written by someone who just read the summary of Mass Effects story on wikipedia and made up something. It doesnt fit in ANY regard.

    And you can't say they screwed up in general; the rest of the game is prety good... I mean I missed Miranda as a teammate and some other details I didnt like THAT much but... In general it was definitly a 9.5/10 without the ending (Guess I'll never give anything a 10/10^^). And then this. I just don't understand it.

    I've seen those. I have another name over on BSN. :) My name here has more to do with the name I've had with Cryptic since CoX. My BSN is a ME3 themed name since that was the game I signed up with over there. I got into DAO later after being there.

    I still enjoy ME3 just not the ending. Or at least the lack of ending variety. The endings they have work if you are not at full strength with 100% readiness like I was when I hit the end. Or even if they said "Guys there are more but you need even higher numbers", then I'd get more numbers grinding MP (75 per promote) since those go by account so MP on PC even earns those on 360. I now just run one round of MP every couple of days to keep it at 100% readiness just in case but even that's getting old.

    I have to say after thinking about it some time I prefer the endings we got over a "pull the plug and live long and prosper" ending. "You can't save them all" was from the very beginning one of the main motives in the ME series, concluding the trilogy with shepard and his/her love sitting in the park and watching the Reapers rebuilding London while the Destiny Ascension is this time performing a two thousand colony victory cruise might have been a hollywood ending but somewhat out of place in the ME universe.


    Also I don't really think the three choices are as bad as some think: (SPOILER)

    a) Destroying the Reapers and most advanced technology: Mankind and the species of the galaxy would basically be reverted back into the early 20th century. However with full knowledge of the lost 250 years they should be able to reassemble the industrial base and recreate FTL drives within a few decades. It was never really stated how fast the regular ME FTL drive is, but most likely comparable to the NX class in ST. Depending on your score and how you like to interpret the end possibly even Shepard survived. Not really bad.

    b) Synthesis: The war ends, everything and everyone beside the Mass Relays and Shepard should be preserved, possibly peaceful future, no obvious drawbacks of the synthesis shown.

    c) Control: Again Mass Relays and Shepard gone, but all technology including FTL still available, and all species are facing a new safer, but again as for space travel slower future.

    Not that bad.

    Going to jump in here and say that I, too was disappointed with the end of ME3. And it's not even the deus ex machina nature of the ending that bothers me so much as, how can I put this, my Shepard deserves her happy freaking ending. In the course of the trilogy she's been shot, blown up, asphyxiated, resurrected, and shot some more. She's pulled the Council's *** out of the fire, spent two years dead, assaulted a secret base orbiting the black hole at the center of the galaxy (without losing a single crew member), and recently united every space faring civilization in the galaxy including the species who really really hated each other. I think, after all of that, Shepard deserves to save the day one last time and then retire to some secluded sandy tropical beach to live the rest of her life sipping mojitos and having blue babies with Liara.
    What can I say... I actually expect/hope (and I have just gotten to Priority: Horizon last night) my Shepard gets to BE the Catalyst for the Crucible and give her life away so that galactic life be spared for one more cycle, and yes... this is after securing a peaceful ending to several interracial conflicts that have been going on for centuries. To me, that would be an epic end, after having defeated death, make her death actually mean something to countless Organics and Synthetics all over the know galaxy.

    It has Spoiler reveal tabs meaning if you don't want the spoilers you don't have to read them. But it gives you an idea how things about you GaW affect your end of game in SP.

    And that Priority is the DLC mission I believe. You could have done that very early in the game so that doesn't tell how far along you actually are. (EDIT: My bad. I mixed up Horizon with Eden Prime priorities)
