official Mass Effect 3

[deactivated170812]

I could smack my head on the keyboard randomly choosing replies to conversations and the game would end exactly the same.

Indeed. Before the game was released there were some rumors that even side missions from previous two parts will have an impact on the main story. As it turned out, even decisions in main missions don't change the ending(s) by much.

[Aaron Olive]

Perhaps they're really fast Aaron. I mean really, really fast :p

I guess they were like

screw Commander Shepard, we're leaving Earth and set course for the Mass Relay.

[Lovell]

No, I expected closure on what happened to my team, what happened to Wrex and all of the other characters this game has spent years making you care about, I expected more than a 1 minute cutscene to end 1 of the greatest most immersive series I've played.

I wanted to know what happened to the other worlds what happened to the other races what happened to the 1000s of ships and aliens who were fighting the reapers around earth now that the relays were destroyed. I just want to know what happened.

Even worse is knowing that they pretty much killed this entire universe as none of the aliens can contact each other and most of there worlds have been destroyed it was just such a lazy ending they didn't explain anything they just figured ok how do we end this hmm I know we'll tell them why the reapers are there then give them a button to kill them and then we'll make it so this entire story and universe was nothing more than a grandpa telling his grandson a story about a commander who likes to bang aliens while saving the universe so we can **** on the game even more.

Exactly,

i knew as soon as they had Ashley kiss me goodbye and had me call everybody to i knew, i figured these fools gonna kill off John Shepard, but i was feeling like i'm not going anywhere we're gonna win and I'm coming back, but nope :cry: damn you Bioware i hate you.

Actually Lovell, it sets a perfect stage for an expansion or an MMO.

I'd bet a considerably amount of whiskey they'll announce an addition to the franchise shortly - ME3 is selling too well to ignore or they've already been working on something else in the background. My money is on an MMO.

[Scorpus Veteran]

I do agree I was expecting

more of an explanation of how things would pan out after the Reapers were destroyed, and overall the ending was strange, but I was never expecting a ###### fairytale everything is okay everyone lives ending

As for any other game in the series, they would either need to

go back before everything was destroyed, which would be unusual considering the effort they specifically went to destroying everything in the end

or

follow the story of the survivors, which would be hard because it depends on what story you take and the mass relays are gone

. I don't think they are planning anything and I really hope this is the end for the series and world

Mass effect is not going to sell as an MMO, especially when more hardcore fans like myself find out what they did to Shepard without complete explanation.

They've already confirmed there will be more Mass Effect, just not using Shepard.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

The ending.

*sigh*

I'll be honest. I wanted Shepard to die. To sacrifice herself/himself for the Galaxy.

But the way they have done it. Its just ridiculous at best.

I mean come on. The thing was going perfect till Shepard reached the Citadel, near Anderson. Though I still think it could've done better, this level, but anyway.

The whole kid/superkid thing is just disappointing. Shepard would've just activated the console and died while the reapers swept out.

And this isn't just it. There is nothing shown to what happened to Asari' and Turian' and Krogan' and other races. After all, it wasn't just about the Earth or the humanity. It was about the galaxy.

And how could the Illusive Man be so careless. I mean, yah we get it that he was just a human being after all, but still, he should've known that Shepard had a gun. Not a big deal though. I am glad they even brought him in the ending, which I thought we'd would never see.

I get it. I get it that they had to keep Shepard alive for future DLCs and such, but in doing so they have ruined the ending to arguably one of the best trilogys of all time.

The ending after that story telling of the man and the son, the note that appears and says, Shepard has became a legend and all.

It should've said, Shepard has sacrificed his/her soul for the sake of galaxy.

However, you can still play the game with him, but to end the storyline of the MAIN triology, Shepard has sacrificed herself/himself.

That, and it would've been something better.

They came so close to perfection. And when the time came to push towards it, they instead pushed away from it.

What could've been an excellent ending to the excellent triology, one that everyone would've remembered for the rest of their lives, has been let down by just a bad decision

All in all, its disappointing. :s :(

[Lovell]

The illusive man was controlling Shepard and Anderson at the end through the reapers, which was why Shepard shoots Anderson.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

I thought Shepard shot Illusive man right after he shot Anderson

Also, we don't get to see ANY of the squad-mates which we left on Normandy, which also is ridiculous.

At least, they should've been shown dying in the fight

[Phouchg]

All in all, its disappointing. :s :(

Hell. If Muhammad's being disappointed with this, there's at last a serious reason to declare R.I.P. BioWare 1995 - 2012 :/

[Muhammad Farrukh]

:rofl:

I didn't meant the whole game, just the ending

[Lovell]

I thought Shepard shot Illusive man right after he shot Anderson

<p><br /></p><p>He did but as far as the illusive man was concerned he now controlled the reapers and with the power of the reapers controlled Shepard the same way the reapers control the husks he thought he was untouchable and that he controlled the reapers rather than the reapers controlling him, at the end when it gives you those 3 options and one of them is to control the reapers you can see that the illusive man chose that option which was why his face and hands were burned</p>

[KiHu]

Whole game series ruined in 5 minutes.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

I'd say three

^^

:p

[Phouchg]

I'll wait till Dragon Age 3, where they're also about to shoehorn PvP multiplayer, keep on "streamlining" (because it's what the people want!) and "learn a lot from Skyrim [open world]". Frostbite engine will not save it. And then I'll pass the final judgement.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Agreed, +cralias.

I, too, will wait for Dragon Age 3 to show up and then we'll decide. :p

Hell, I think a new Mass Effect will show up before Dragon Age 3 even shows up

[Miuku.]

Hold on cralias, it seems my sarcasm meter just exploded.

You owe me one now!

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Either I don't spend enough time playing Mass Effect 3 or you guys have much more time to play than me. I guess I'm taking my sweet time. I haven't even reached

the Asari home world yet.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

That ain't too far :p ^^

[Lovell]

The bit you mentioned is just before the end.

[trag3dy]

I know it's a bit late, but yeah... lying to your customers is never good. Even if it's over a somewhat trivial matter.

Hahaha awesome. Bioware and EA area pathetic. And even more pathetic, are the retards on the video comments saying "buying the disk doesn't give you the right to modify files already in your game because you only bought license". :rofl:

[ViperAFK]

What do you mean readiness drops. I haven't even touched the Multiplayer yet

Readiness starts at 50% and cant go any lower. If you play multiplayer to get it higher, you have to play it regularly if you want to keep it maxed, it will start dropping every day until it goes back to 50%.
