Mass Effect 3: Five Plots Worth Exploring (contains ME2 spoilers)

[Helicoradian]

Despite how terrible and half-assed the endings are, the rest of the game is actually...pretty good. Mass Effect 2 will still be the best of the series though.

wat


Even with its terrible last 10 minutes, ME3 successfully bridged the storytelling of ME with the flowing combat and free roaming feel of ME2.

Also, you guys must have seen the Tali face ****.

I've just seen this, and I can honestly say that Bioware must have sold it's frigging soul. That is absolutely insulting.

As I said.


It looks like they hit a deadline and had to scramble to meet it.

I would've much rather they delayed it for 5 more months and got everything perfect. I adored every second up to the last 10 minutes. In the last 10 minutes they managed to ruin 100 hours worth of playtime.

How this possibru?!

I haven't seen it yet, but I heard

I've avoided specific details of the endings, but form clues in general, I'd say it sounds like they just stopped caring, since Mass Effect is done now, no more money from it (even if there WAS another game, it'd make a lot less between this, origin and the DLC mess).

You're going to flip a table when you see it.

Oh...my god.

Going back to my original statement on the issue, this is what I'm afraid of for Avatar. Mass Effect 1 is a masterpiece. Mass Effect 2 is a masterpiece. MOST of Mass Effect 3 is a masterpiece.

But in the end, it was all ruined.


I'm afraid something is going to happen to ruin the Avatar franchise in this fashion. Because as good as James Cameron is with sequels.....



So was Bioware.

Not really. I'd buy another ME game. Everything except those last 10 minutes was absolutely amazing. Its an incredible game. 10/10 without a doubt. Except those 10 minutes.

Bunch of theories about Ending DLC and all this stuff flying around. Bioware is denying nothing, keeps teasing people via tweets. -shrug-

I'll probably buy it.

I'll wait until someone lets me know if Bioware pulls a Dallas with the last 10 minutes. Otherwise I have a hard time seeing how I would buy it. And mind you, I've purchased *EVERY* DLC that didn't actually come with the game. Even the training stage DLC in Mass Effect 1, which yeah, is a bit pointless, but I don't regret buying it.


On the plus side, if you play as an Asari Adept or Asari Vanguard in the multiplayer, stasis bubble is just made of win. Absolute biotic win. I haven't unlocked Asari Adept like I did in the demo, but I unlocked Asari Vanguard, so I've gotten back in the habit of Stasis sniping everything to death (especially Cerberus with their nice large humanoid heads). Does anyone know if the level 20 cap is still in the game? I hope not.

So far the characters I have unlocked with names are....


Male Human Adept - Kyle Rayner (I was a Green Lantern fan)
Drell Adept - Thane Krios
Male Human Soldier - Jake Sully
Male Human Engineer - Geordi LaForge
Male Human Infiltrator - James Bond
Drell Vanguard - Prawn
Asari Vanguard -Ninet


I'm not sure I'm ever going to use the Sentinel class. It's the only character class in the multiplayer I absolutely do not like.
