I *think* ME3 is undisputedly my favourite game of all time. I can't seperate the game from my character though. And my character from Jennifer Hale's voice acting. I felt despair along with Shepard when those rockets missed.
Poll: How many here liked ME3 as a whole.

Up until the last 10 minutes, best game of the trilogy, hands down.
Flat out amazing.
Even with the shitty ending, the game is on my top 5 games ever list.

I've never been so emotionally attached to so many characters in one franchise before.
It's quite rare for a game to hit me so emotionally, that I well up with tears.
ME3 managed this feat several times.

My fiancee doesn't understand why I love Garrus so much.Danial said:

She just doesn't understand the bromance we share.

i Also apparently cheered when i walked in on Garrus and Tali, after two games of insults and taunting was actually surprising and REALLY funny to see them together. If anything the lack of seeing where that was going made the ending sting a little (I didn't mind it as much as everyone else it seems)
but yeah, REALLY well written game for the most part, but the real credit has to go to Mrs Hale, best voice actor EVER.
It was great, my favourite Mass Effect game to date until
That literally ruined the entire game for me.
You get shot by the Reaper who is apparently Harbinger

Still a quality game, but of course the last 10 minutes of a game ARE THE LAST 10 MINUTES YOU REMEMBER OF THE GAME, which is why ME3 has been getting a rougher outcome from the ending. A bad beginning, you lose the new comers but keep the fans. A bad middle, most will forgive a few inconsistancies. But a bad end is the worst place for error. Stll a high quality game. Better than ALOT of others, and the story, gameplay are all as engaging as ME and ME2.
This may come across as a foreign concept, but some people actually love other people.Zeel said:
Garrus is sarcastic, he never states that he dislikes Tali. He may make fun of her, that's hardly the same as disliking someone.
Some people drink when they need to relax. If I had the entire weight of the galaxy on my shoulders, I'd want a drink every now and then.
Not everyone is a misanthrope.
See, this is something I'm sure most of us can get behind. Now if you just be reaso-Zeel said:
That's not very reasonable.Zeel said:
Anyways, I do feel like BioWare was... over sensitive to feedback. Mako was disliked?
SCRAP. EVERYTHING. No more sense of exploration! At all! [sub]
(Yes, I realize that I just whined to Zeel about making hyperboles. Shut up.)[/sub]
Like Mordin
Him dying while singing? Really? Sure the song in ME2 was great but... not what defined the character.
After that it got old real fast.
But I seem to be alone in feeling that there was a bit much of refrences, so I guess it just wasn't for me.
What really dragged ME3 from true greatness - aside from the ending* - were the cinematics. Not a lot of people seem to be minding this either, but when a game is about creating your character and making choises, tearing the control away from me felt really forced. It's annoying enough when cinematics allow your character to do something you can't do in gameplay, but to reduce Shepard into someone too incompetent to shoot someone 5 meters away just... frustrated the shit out of me.
In the very beginning on Mars Kaidan almost got killed because I wasn't allowed to shoot because plot armor.(infact the whole chase was stupid) Then Thane got killed. Then the fucking clue to the catalyst was stolen.
Not related but also stupid and incompetent: the council in the very beginning.

Both of these really reduced the emotional impact.
tl;dr It wouldn't have suprised me if the robodog was there just so Kai Leng could kill your dog while he's protected by plot armor.
Still a great game. Just not quite what it could have been.

I liked ME3 a lot until the end that is.
I think the combat in ME3 is the best in the series. The exploration part could have been better (only one hub world etc.). Kai Leng as the physical villain (TIM is more like the physiological villain so to speak) is underdeveloped and not very impressive. I know his figure is more explored in a spin off but I don't care about that.
Pacing of the story was better then ME2 but not quite as good as 1. Writing and story was alright until the ending...
However the ending just ruins it all.
I played thru ME1 6 times and thru ME2 3 times but I won't be playing ME3 a second time. I just can't bring myself to import my renegade character knowing the end of the story.
As a whole it diminished my experience of the series. I can't forgive it for that.
I voted for bad.
