just finished mass effect 3 ahhh

So i just finished mass effect 3 i loved it just like i loved all the mass effects, another thing all the mass effects have in common is the ability to almost make me **** my self with there insane endings this one had to be the best game and ending of all mass effects my heart almost stopped with the ending. While although the ending to mass effect 3 may of been breathtaking it also confused me a bit i wont say how for those of you who havent played it yet but if you have'nt played it yet i doubt you will be reading this, anyways what i will say is there could possibly be another game i think but there probably wont be. So in conclusion if you haven't picked this game up yet i suggest you do immediately especially if you have played the other games in mass effect franchisewilly5321

you actually thought the ending was good? i guess you're in the minority then. there was a huge outcry over the ending everyone hated it, myself included. its sucks since mass effect series is my favourite this gen. i thought ME3 was great but the end sucked. oh and btw, im pretty sure that they already said that there would be another mass effect, except its going to have a different main character and is probably a long ways ahead. bioware made way too much money not to make another one. im all for it though the more mass effect the better.

I tried the demo. I used firearms when crouched behind a cover, the character lifted his arms above the cover to shoot. I used a special power. The character moved his arms to the front thus sending the power into the cover. Pathetic game mechanic. Moving on.

The ending of ME3 is anything but "breathtaking", it is/was a mess. What I want is a totally new ending that is fitting of Commander Shepard and the game series itself, because what there is now with or without the extended cut ending is a complete disgrace.

I thought it was the most underwhelming of the trilogy. Had a lot of explosions thought that's for sure. Lacked in exploration elements of the first, and the character development/crew interactions of the second.Minishdriveby

The Mass Effect games are my favorite games on consoles without question. I still play all three ME games, and I think that ME3 has better gameplay than the others but it did lack some of exploration. As for character development/crew interactions it was there with some of the characters but it wasn't needed since the game had mainly the same people.

Anyway, I'm probably in the minority with the 3rd being my favorite. The way they portrayed this sense of the entire universe being at war was amazing. The romance between my femshep and Liara was the best in any of the 3. Even with the ending being pretty meh (I didn't hate it the way most players did) the journey was one of the most memorable in recent years. The last time I was hooked on a game's story like that was MGS4.

The ending of 3 really ruined the game. Mass Effect 2 remains the high point of the series for me.

The ending is actually a really good ending if you paid attention to the entire series. Somebody recapped the entire thing in this video explaination.

Before i saw this i was like whatttt, but it makes sense now.

I didn't hate it, but I liked ME2 better because the romances of ME3 were really over the top and in your face, just like DA2. I beat the game with the extended prologue. I chose to shut down/damage the mass relays and whatever else so everyone could have a fresh start. Don't know if that was the best choice, but I think the climax was good and even heartbreaking after having played all the games. It still bothers me though that the origination of the Reapers and the creator of the Reapers is not fully explained but instead you are given a vague, philisophical reasoning about life. It didn't really do it for me.

Also, Shepards name plate scene.... -sob-

That people are still whining about the ending is further evidence of the staggering sense of entitlement so many gamers have.

welcome to the club of "i liked mass effect 3's ending" , we maybe silent but we are many. Its an incredible game i loved the original ending no doubt the entire series is one of the best ever made. While some people have legitmate complaints, the vast majority of so called 'errors or plotholes have been refuted if you google the answers, i didn't even need them refuted as the ending made sense to me.

Unfotunately the haters have been v v LOUD, which made Bioware cry and the creators got sick and quit.

A critique is simply "I didn't care for ____ because ____". Still raging over it and demanding a new ending almost a year later is spoiled entitlement.

For over 5 years I have and soo many others have been fans of the Mass Effect series and albeit "entitlement" or "critique" or "whatever the hell you want to call it" it may just be true. I think being a loyal fan does deserve such things and we fans of the Mass Effect deserve more than that crappy ending(extended or not), and for that matter the characters of the game deserve alot more than that crappy ending(extended or not).

*spoilers*

cuz hes been a loyal paying customer of that creative vision for the last 5 years or whatever. hey i get it if it's just a couple ppl pissed about the ending, but it was pretty much everyone that played the game, and with the outcry they had its obvious that they screwed up somewhere or that there were some serious plotholes. i do respect bioware though for actually listening and releasing the extended cut, whether it was a big improvement or not im sure many ppl appreciated it.

either way ME has been my favourite games this gen and i thought ME3 was excellent up until the end. i mean cmon, think about it like this. you spend almost the whole serious trying to convince ppl of a greater threat, then in ME3 you spend all the time recruiting the galaxies top forces to all unite and put aside their differences for the greater good. i dont know about the rest of you, but i did every freakin sidequests i could find to make sure i had the best chances of winning this thing.

and after all that, all the epic battles, memories, and experiences you went through with your team, regardless of how much you tried, they tell you here is 3 choices. and they don't even tell you which choice is which ( hell they even trick you in a sense with the colours, i was furious when i accidentally picked the choice that contradicted my whole playstyle for the last 3 games) and whichever one you pick you are pretty much screwed regardless, and shepard dies for whatever reason. i love the games i really do, but they really dropped the bomb on us with that ending. it seems like an ongoing trend with games this year though, epic game series with crappy endings (AC3 anyone?).

So if you've been listening to a certain band for a certain period of time you're then entitled to dictate what music they should be making? If you pay to see a movie are you then entitled to tell the director and/or writers what movie they should make next? And no, it's not "pretty much everyone who played the game". It's a bunch of people who post on game forums compared to how many millions who bought the game.

As for the rest of your post - so what? Were you ever promised any certain ending? Were you ever promised any certain sequence of events in the story? Were you ever promised that Shepard wouldn't die?

Personally I didn't care about the ending. I found the whole game disappointing, and I will vocally state that whenever there is a discussion about the game. I guess you could call it entitlement because I am entitled to my opinion.
