    That's one way of putting it.
    Next time spend more time playing the game and less singing from the Bioware song sheet.

    Didn't like the ending either. Too much time invested in the first two to end the way(s) it did.

    @fenixri

    Agreed! Most people are far too dense to realize that the entirety of the game was the ending, and that it's the quiet moments that make the series special. A bevy of in-your-face action at the end or a drawn-out, unnecessary "Where Are They Now?" cinematic would just serve to damage the melancholy tone meant for the original conclusion.

    @Centurion-Legio

    Sounds like you just wanted to troll about the "ending", but in reality, you either didn't play it at all, and you certainly didn't finish it.

    This game is perfect minus a few bugs. Don't miss out!

    He never said his opinion was fact. Please stop pulling things out of your ass!

    Really? It's a remarkably satisfying conclusion to the story? I'm sorry Mr. VanOrd but that's just your opinion. Please stop making it out as fact.

    On a side note, I find it unbelievable that you snort your nose at people who point out the plotholes at the end and you started to pull the "art" card. I'm an artist (believe it or not) and in my line of work, I always came to the conclusion that when people say something like: "Remember, great art doesn't need your approval.", that it is a weak argument defending their opinion because they ran out of real facts and arguments. Great art always needs approval, and it shouldn't be sacred and untouchable, because it isn't. Simple as that.

    Your whole stance to those "entitled" gamers is really dissapointing and insulting.

    I'm happy with playing it cold turkey, though I have played both 1 and 2 (and deleted my saves... d'oh)

    Very good game and its REALLY worth importing a char from ME1 and ME2. Gives a completely different story.

  • fenixri

    Posted Mar 25, 2012 4:48 am GMT

    Ending is actually very good, just most people didn't understand it...

    Kevin VanOrd, did you even play the game to the end?

  • alhussainnaseer

    amazing

    Who are you to deside how the game ends, just beacuse some people don't get it, they should change it? I watched the movie, The Grey the other day, when the movie was over there was boooing, mostly from the 14yr and 15yr old audience, because the ending wasn't all sunshine and rainbows and everything wasn't 100% explained (it was a great movie), grow up.

    Bioware I miss you .....what happened

  • Centurion-Legio

    Posted Mar 22, 2012 12:18 am GMT

    I rented the game and didn't like it at all. It's very repetitive the graphics look good when still but once you move they look like crap. Takes like 3 mags to kill enemies. why not just have more bullets on a magazine or make the bullets more powerful/enemies weaker? the whole game seems clumsy and the ending...

    I loved the game. I played ME1, and ME2, and imported my player from one to two to three.
    All that enjoyment til the side quests started to bore me, being chased by the reapers every time I went for some scanning. That very ending? THATS where the ball got dropped. Badly. Reqrite that ending....everything after the death if the Illusive Man, and ya saved a hit.

    @Vinc3ntVal3ntin WTF this is Mass Effect you're talking about?

  • kwanzudood

    Posted Mar 20, 2012 4:52 pm GMT

    How could this review not mention the non-sensical ending scenes that make no sense within the storyline?

  • kwanzudood

    Posted Mar 20, 2012 4:51 pm GMT

    Nobody at Bioware played the game all the way through, watched the ending, and said "That ending completely made sense, given what was going on in the plot at the time."
