1. Started game
2. Thought, "I'm not sure about this...but it's Bioware."
3. Continued to see EA's paws all over game
4. Finally gave in and read spoilers about ending
5. Wished, for a moment, that I was a console player only so that I would have a controller to throw against the wall
6. Uninstalled game and have yet to finish it to this day

I didn't see my playthrough on the list, but I bet it's not that uncommon...

82-18 male to female is mind-blowing. Femshep is a better playthroughand broshep had terrible voice-acting.

Well now that the hate crowd got it out of their system, anyone else? Either people didn't like Wrex or the ME2 standard start had him dead.

I didn't mind EDI. Her downloading 7 zetabytes of porn was pretty funny.

Vega was a guido. He sucked.

I get the hate about the ending, but damn, the gameplay was just as good or better than 2's.

The gameplay was equatable to 2's. Everything else about the game was terrible. The story was rushed and lacked any new ideas. The 2nd one actually brought new enemies into the mix that weren't just rehashed old enemies.

Outside of that one instance with Mordin, I really didn't give much of a rat's arse about any of the other characters.

I could go into the whole nullifying all previous decisions, but I doubt sbr2 wants his thread hijacked anymore than it already is.

Scruffy out!

Oh, and before you ask sbr2, yes, it is impossible to start a thread on this game without this happening.

oooh question: if you saved the rachni queen and she came to you in 2 - did ANYTHING come of that in 3?

One of the plot points which pissed me off to no end.











SPOILERS















If you saved her in 1 and she talks to you in 2, she gets captured in 3 and is forced to give birth to all the evil little rachni. The only thing that happens is that you get points added to your little "assets bar" for the endgame. Complete fricking waste.

If you kill her, THE LAST GODDAMN RACHNI IN THE UNIVERSE, they magically find another queen behind the fricking curtain. And then you can get the same asset points.

Shitty arse writers.

Exactly. I was hoping for some awesome battle scene where the rachni fight with you against a common foe.

Nope. The only thing you get are assets for the amazing secret ending where you see Shep's body take a breath underneath a trillion tons of steel.

I was a renegade Vanguard...looks like I was in the minority for most of these.

Sad this turned into another bashing thread.

Didn't know that.

I didn't have the fake queen since I chose to save the original one. What I don't understand is how they continually produced the evil rachni if I saved the real rachni queen.

Really, the writers of that game sucked.

This is my last post because I know some of you actually want to have an enjoyable ME3 thread.

Sorry.

I always viewed it as an action/fps game with some RPG elements. At least 2 and 3 for sure.

Disagree. 2 had some great characters, but the story wasn't very good. It was basically assemble your squad and destroy the stupid human reaper. And you can definitely complain about ME3 nullifying a lot of the choices you made in the first two games, but ME2 is just pure filler. You could play ME1, skip ME2 and not really miss much.
