[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;35058188]Critic score is made by a bunch of reviewers who are paid off by EA, user score is lowered by people who hate Bioware or are butthurt about the ending and all give it a 0, don't trust either.[/QUOTE]
But is the overall game good? I don't give a shit about the ending, I just liked the ME2 Exploration and countless side missions, mixed with the option to talk to people on the Normandy for a long time.
And do I have to play through a website via Origin if its on a disk? I mean, Origin isn't bad [B]if[/B] I could play it through the client instead of a freaking webpage.

Yeah, the story leading up to the ending is fantastic, and alot of the characters who were previously faces are now excellently characterized, and ones who used to be excellently characterized are now moreso. When in my game [sp]Tali died[/sp] I literally cried.
Oh my god why is the Journal so crappy in this, it's like they just gave up on giving you the ability to monitor quests after realizing how many minor ones they throw at you.
I'd say the game is damn good so far. There's few things I have problems with, and I haven't gotten to the ending that apparently "RUINED EVERYTHING FOREVER!" but I'm really enjoying what I've seen.

The hopefully-not-so-frequent bugs and this are my major gripes right now. If they can't bother writing anything proper about the quests, then at least give me arrows or something to lead the way. Like in Skyrim. Some of the side quests are seriously described like "Some guy wants something lost long ago, go get it."

Pressing 'V' alleviates this somewhat. In combination with your map, it's pretty easy to find people on the Citadel. The journal is nowhere near as good as it used to be however.
i can't even count the amount of bugs or glitches i've found
So is it worth the 60 or should I wait till it goes on sale

It ain't perfect, but it's definitely worth it.
[sp]Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a single ending where Shepard doesn't die? Seriously, having Shepard inevitably die feels like bioware slapped me[/sp]

[sp] The destroy ending does not kill Shepard if you have a very high galactic readiness and a lot of war assets.[/sp]
Everytime I see the default femshep in a screenshot, I cringe. They really dropped the ball on that one. It barely looks like the one people voted for. It isn't THAT hard to make a good looking femshep, and we only get to use the character creator.
Damn it, second playthrough and [sp]watching Mordin die doesn't get any easier.[/sp]
My GaW is like in the mid 60s, and my War Readiness bar is at around 1/3.
And I just did the Thessia mission. Level 30. :v:
the green ending is the best
red is the only shitty one
Hey Guys. On my Reputation bar, my Renegade is almost to the 4th milestone, and overall (including paragon) it's halfway between the 4th milestone and being 100% full.
Assume each of the 4 milestones divides the bar equally into five 20% pools, I should have about 90% Reputation, 75-80% of it Renegade.
Do you think this is enough for me to [sp]Avoid having to take sides in the Geth/Quarian Conflict[/sp]?

Ah I see its at your ear, looked strange with that armor.

it's bent back?
and yeah I know, it looks funky. There's a lot of clipping issues in animations in ME3.

With respect, you might want to drop the "My opinion is fact" attitude. A lot of people are angry about the endings, and for a lot of good reasons. Even looking at it as objectively as I can, I'm still finding faults like crazy. A lot of really shoddy writing.
If you enjoyed them then more power to you; you're enjoying the ending far more than I am. But don't discount the people who are angry about them.
[sp]I chose the control ending. To me it made the most sense, it's the only way by which you can kind of "ascend" past the point of being a mere human to be something greater and protect the Galaxy. You would still be able to communicate through the Reapers themselves like Harbinger did so you're not completely "dead" to the normal races. You also preserve the Citadel (Mass relays not sure on) and you also preserve the Reaper Tech, so technologically you don't leave the galaxy in the shit, they still have all the Tech there ready to rebuild, so even if the Mass relays were destroyed they should be able to be rebuilt by the Reapers which you control.[/sp]

what
tell me
did you want shep to hold hands with everyone he banged as "it's the end of the world as we know it" plays in the background, while the normandy tears every reaper a new one, then fly off and get drunk?
haha, no. the game was dark from the first moment, I am surprised we got so much of a positive ending as green
Ok I finished it, now to be picky.
[sp]Played through using the same character since ME1, sure I wasn't a lovely person I picked some options which gave me a little renegade but hey, its being a character. Now what annoyed me the most was my paragon was maxed in ME3, all the way through. The little chat with Illusive was all well until the last options. Why, the fuck. Are both the last paragon and renegade options FUCKING GREYED OUT. Seriously I've been looking for a reason and there is like... none. No explanation, closest thing I found is people to say "you need to grind multiplayer lmfao" but galactic readiness is nothing to do with paragon/renegade, and next I had more than enough assets to make the option sound but again, why should that affect a paragon/renegade option, I thought this was down to the character themselves, not what their fleet dick size is.
Moving on from that, I already knew that the catalyst was represented by a child and its all deus ex endings and this was likely all done due to a rush of production times or some writer who was picked to do the ending is just a really bad writer.
To me the ending would be more realistic if for one the conversation between the catalyst and shep had shep asking why it took on this image of a child, with the catalyst pointing out it was the closest thing it could represent its self at the time, then continuing onto the cycle which it created.
The catalyst would be more interesting if it was having doubt about its solution in the end, giving that its more of an AI it would be nice to throw in a sense of regret, thinking if wiping out all advanced life before it had the chance to pick for its self was the ideal plan for solving the issue of chaos. Having it also explain it was doubting its self from the start from its choice, but had no other options and was forced cycle after cycle to continue the reaper harvesting. This would give the Deus ex style endings more meaning to them, at a organic form was able to make the catalysts choice for it, as it couldn't change it by its self.
Then finally, the ending options should have a little epilogue to them, giving the player an idea of what their choice did. This was something which near every game which gives you multiple choice endings does. Fallout and even Deus ex (HR specifically) are perfect examples of this.
Instead they leave you on a cliffhanger, roll in the its a story card (which to be honest I'm not really bothered about, it gives the feeling that no matter what you did it was history being passed down) then slap a fucking "LMFAO, STOARY NO OVEH, GIVE TWENT DOLLA IN FUTAR FOR MAOR STOARY" prompt right at the end.
I'm sorry but that, is what pisses me off the most. I went ahead and bought the digital deluxe edition because I could. If they are going to do from ashes all over again, which that prompt clearly screams.
I'm not going to bother with Bioware games anymore when they are published under EA, sounds butthurt but come on. From ashes added so much to the story, it gave such a deeper understanding to the cycle before, IT WAS CONTENT WHICH WAS SNIPPED OUT, IT FUCKING SCREAMS IT.
How much more snipped fucking content to this story are they going to sell as DLC later on.
Stuff which should be there in the first damn place?[/sp]
Just my view on things, either way whoever wrote that last part was clearly rushing.

Supposedly the prima guide for ME3 states that there's a hidden ending for players the beat it the second time.

Kinda wish I knew that before importing a different ME2 Shep instead of my ME3 Shep.
Hm, maybe halfway to the end on my second playthrough, I can try speed running the rest to confirm.

[QUOTE=Aedus;35059212]Someone on BSN said they completed it twice and nothing happened.[/QUOTE]
From what I'm reading, I think the ending is for people that have beaten it twice, which means on the third time, they'll get some secret ending.
Kind of tempted to complete my second playthrough and maybe do a third to check up on this.

No. I wanted an ending that provides some goddamn closure.
