So yeah. I don't even.
Spoiler for Ending/General story/Taliface:
I bought ME3 to finish the trilogy, and for having fun in multiplayer. I... regret my choices even though the journey was awesome. But now I'm done with Bioware and EA.

I think I decided to not play this game after all. I wanted to play this game for Tali; but after finding out the endings available, I don't see the point of it any more. For me, how it ends matters.

Actually BioWare cares a wee bit too much... about making money. In fact, I'd actually say it was deliberate on their part otherwise there would be no point to DLCs if they had a satisfactory ending.

"Please buy this DLC. No, you aren't actually paying for the character, silly. You are paying for a single line of code to be changed. Now please buy it. Did we say you should buy it? What do you mean, bad business? LALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU, STOP WHINING."
Is roughly how my theory about how this came about went.

Well, luckily this bullshit was already called before the game came out. A few years back I almost liked EA, seemed as if they were becoming more customer friendly...but after that, the bugs with their servers for bfbc2/bf3 have been less than impressive. And now they're shooting themselves in the foot with this thing. It's too bad because I sort of like Mass Effect and SW: TOR, and I wish I could be happy about giving them my money.

I started playing yesterday.
I found a few pros to this game but so many cons that I actually prefer ME2 over this, even 1 was better. What I liked; the character responses for a few are what I would call more open and relaxed. Of course I checked out Garrus right away and he wasn't written out of character in fact he seemed to be written more open this time whereas last time I thought it was still held back. The cons of course; first the obvious parts. Animation bugs; there are too many to list, Turians turning their heads and it passes through their armor mesh, I ended up gliding backwards over out of bound objects int he hospital when meeting someone. Finger animations still look creepy, they already did in ME2. The low quality textures on armor etc. I also went to the club in the Citadel and after seeing a screenshot I was actually shocked they just placed grey meshes like statues in the distance shots without moving and a few casual standing people nearby (and on other locations where they just used low res images; cause you don't see them from any other angle anyway, right Bioware?). I was missing the club on Omega right away, at least there I could drink. Lastly camel toe, a mistake made by the riggers when weightpainting. It is a process that takes time and precision but if you work for a company and end up making such a silly mistake then shame on you.. I hope there's a massive patch coming up because the above are quite irritating though bearable. What I found less bearing was the amount of bugs in quests etc. in ME2 the journal was a little vague this time it happened again. I had to talk to some assistant as part of an alliance quest and the guy was not selectable and didn't even show up on my map, not even after milking out all possible talk responses of the giver. Annoying as it is I still do not know how to solve this. Then the new map functions which someone needs to explain to me. Spoiler for quest details:
Other than that I do like the feel of the game, it brings back the good old; I want to finish this game because I am having fun-feeling inside of me. But the above listed make me annoyed on some points int he game that I would even consider not playing it. With ME1 and 2 I could play on for no end but here I don't really feel the urge to game when I have spare time because I know I have to run around doing other people's business in a city first with no action. |

I think like someone said, the best way to play the game is to play to the end, and after you select your 'ending', turn off the game and just imagine the ending playing out in your head instead of letting Bioware's ending ruin the series for you.

They left the best ending open enough I think to make what you want of the character's fates. Although I agree the overall selections available are underwhelming.
It supposedly only puts the character and some of his lines into the game. The stuff you have to download is the actual quest having to deal with him.

Glad I'm not the only one raging about ME3's ending
Well, not "raging" per se. But It's really bad how they couldn't make an ending that fits within the narrative of everything else up to that point.
Don't know if this was posted earlier on this thread, but there's some interesting tidbits from SomethingAwful forums: Spoiler:
But instead of that...they went with... Spoiler:
