I think it's become "cool" to hate on all aspects of ME3 now.



I hated it the moment I played the ending. It was lazy, a direct departure from what they promised, and if you go by what the 1st ME tells you, all life is exterminated.

I mean it's not great but I don't think it affects 3 or the series as a whole.


By itself the game is good (except the original ending.) As a whole it shits on the "your decisions matter" and "build resources for the final war." I liked playing it but I too was frustrated at the two things I mentioned. I get the hate, but I have played it twice so I didn't hate it that much.

Summed up perfectly.

My favorite moment from the entire series is below

I've run 5 full playthroughs of all three games. I've mostly played as a full Paragon because that's the way my personal moral compass tends to point. But I have also played as a full Renegade and as a "paragade" (equal number of choices each way).

The writing and character development is so damn good in this game that I actually had a really tough time making Renegade choices that would screw my crew. I don't care what anyone says, Garrus is real to me, and Wrex being happy to see me in ME-2 warmed my heart.

And to the guy that said treat Liara like a bitch, I will fight you!

These are by far my favorite video games ever. And yes they shite the bed on the ending. Even the second try at it left a lot to be desired.

My advice is to stop the game right before you get to the beam, play the Citadel DLC, and assume that it's the afterparty and you won it all and the Reapers are beat and gone.

Then go make little blue babies with Liara and live happily ever after.
