Don't let people fool you, it's an awesome game 0
If you are remotely interested in video games, you probably have heard a lot about this game, and if you did, you probably heard a lot of people complaining. I am not one of those people. I really enjoyed Mass Effect. For me, this series is probably one of the best game series I have ever played. But what about the game itself ? Well... It is not as good as the previous installments. The fact that every single subplot gets resolved and that there is a romance available with every single characte...

A rad game, regardless of your feelings on the ending. 0
Will say right off the bat that I'm not going to cover story beats here. I will say that overall I enjoyed the narrative of Mass Effect 3.I will admit that I didn't get the ending I might've hoped for, but that doesn't mean it was BAD.And so much cool stuff happened along the way, there were so many neat little character moments, fan service-y call backs and whatnot that I find it hard to get too peeved about the last ten minutes. Mass Effect 3 continues to streamline the series for easier acc...

Mass Effect 3 Review 0
I have been both dreading, and dying to play the final chapter in the Shepard saga that has been part of Mass Effect. I've played through the first and second game, loving the fact that my saves have sculpted my experience into something probably unique to most. It is finally the time to take on the Reapers, and try to save not only Earth, but the very galaxy's existence. You'll get to meet old friends, and make some new ones. There's a lot of game here to explore, if you want to, or you can fin...

Mass Effect Pt.3 0
Five years ago the story driven developer Bioware released their new franchise into the wild. Since then, players around the world have been enraptured by the story of Commander Shepard and The Reapers. As players interest in their own adventures grew; so too did the expectations that the final chapter of Shepard's adventure would be as fulfilling as the rest of the narrative. For the most part, Mass Effect 3 does tie off a fair number of loose ends. If you've been with the series since the begi...

Mystery of the Reapers intrigues but falls short 0
Leviathan was a bit of an odd bird. The first Mass Effect 3 DLC is intriguing but ultimately fell a bit short. The first two acts of the DLC felt like a murder mystery a la L.A. Noir. It’s Shepard and Edi on the case! There’s clue searching, tight facial shots, and interrogation. It sucks you in: what is Leviathan? why are the Reapers afraid of it? You also get some juicy little bits about some of the races in the universe less on the forefront, like the Rachni and Thorian.The mystery, informati...

Can't skip it if u're a fan, though you'll hate it 0
I played Mass Effect 3 with previous saves from 1 and 2. I am "normal" Mass Effect fan and I was born to be Shepard. So, I had to play 3. I red bad reviews and I tried to postpone it as long as possible. I liked it only because it was build on its ancestors. Kaidan is lobotomized, unnecessary drama with Krios, moronic Mordin death, buggy cover places and laggy controls...a looong, long list. The Rachni Queen and Jack are ok, Jack was nicely transformed. Still it's Mass Effect.Not sure about the ...

Mass Effect 3 Review 0
Crafting a story is hard, Crafting a living breathing world is harder but harder still is to craft a universe. Bioware has not only crafted a living breathing universe but a story open to player choice, it’s more than beautiful or amazing. The final entry to the Mass Effect universe is a master piece of epic proportion, from choices to RPG elements, it gets it right at every turn.No longer are you a sluggish tank with slight RPG elements and forced shooting. Each gun has its own feel, each gun h...

Review: Mass Effect 3 0
Here we are again.Damn, Commander Shepard. We’ve been through some crap together, haven’t we? First Saren decides to go rogue, then we come to find that a race of ultra-advanced machines bent on the total assimilation of all advanced life is about to attack, then you straight-up die, only to be completely rebuilt by a human supremest terrorist organization led by Martin Sheen. We form the biggest group of badasses the galaxy has ever seen with the express intention of destroying an army of Reape...

My Mass Effect 3 Review 0
A good number of games this generation have had the problem of going flat by the third installment, Mass Effect 3 for the most part has fallen into that trap as well. It could be argued that this happens with games these days, because console cycles didn’t really ever last this long and by the time there was a third game, usually it was on a whole new system. Mass Effect 3 had a few exceptions that made it more important for BioWare to hit a homerun with this installment. The save system, which ...

It's ok. 0
+ Few cool moments with dlc character in the game+ You get a pretty sweet laser assault rifle.+ If you are really into the ME Universe, it is kind of cool learning about the Protheans- The dlc mission itself is pretty lame- Very short, can be done in little under half hour- Kind of pricey for what it is for ten bucks...

Mass Effect 3 - It's all about the journey 0
I started playing the series Mass Effect from the very beginning. It was a solid game with rough edges but certainly a step in the right direction when it comes to story driven action rpg's. Characters introduced were amazing in depth, personality and strong in either what I found to be my capacity to either love them or hate them. Mass Effect 2 followed it all up being a true masterpiece of a sequel playing the difficult role of other great trilogies, notably "Empire Strikes Back" and "Halo 2"I...

The End of an Incredible Journey, but not how I expected it to be 0
After having spent nearly 150 hours playing Mass Effect 1, and 70 or so hours playing Mass Effect 2, I was understandably excited to hop right into the final chapter of Bioware's Epic Space Drama, Mass Effect 3. The question now becomes not one of "is the game good", because I think everyone can agree that there has never been any game quite like Mass Effect, that is so well made; however, the question is more "does the game reward those of you who have invested 100s of hours into the Mass Effec...

Mass Effect 3 Review 0
Since Mass Effect was first announced, skepticism about Bioware’s claims that choices made in its space opera would carry over its trilogy have given way to mounting pressure to make them a reality. Mass Effect proper introduced a dense universe of characters and races with real history and threw them into peril against an ancient race of synthetic life forms called Reapers who threatened to eradicate all life. But it also introduced us to Commander Shepard, the hero that took up arms to protect...

A great end to the trilogy 0
Mass Effect 3 is a third person shooter and RPG. There is a story mode which wraps up the main story from the first two games as well as a new multiplayer co-op mode.Combat is mostly cover based, firing or using powers will bring you out of cover and leave you vulnerable. Certain enemy explosives will bypass or destroy cover as well.There are a variety of weapons which fit into five different categories; sniper rife, assault rifle, shotgun, smg, or heavy pistol. Each weapon type has its own stre...

Good Ending, but not Great. 0
Sadly I did not have the same experience that many people who loved it had. Also unlike the other 90% out there, I was fine with the ending. Yes there was plot holes, was kind of hooky, and very vague, but I enjoyed it.What I was not fine with is how boring the actual game was. There was too much go to this area and fight Cerberus off and not enough memorable story moments. There were times(especially in the end) where I was just getting bored and just wanted the next story portion to continue. ...

Mass Effect 3 Review 0
Mass Effect 3 is the latest entry in the Mass Effect series. It has a lot of expectations to meet as many people have considered Mass Effect 2 one of the best games for this generation. If you have played the first 2 games then there is no reason why you should not finish the trilogy, and even though it is a great game, you can not help but feel disappointed.Mass Effect 3 takes cues from most modern shooters. They improve the shooting and introduce rolling, like you would in the Gears of War gam...

Mass Effect 3 Review 0
In a an era when game sequels are the norm Mass Effect 3 enters the fray in an attempt to show its peers how it's done. With a revamped combat system, a spankin' new multiplayer mode and doomsday laden climax to the series' plot, Does Mass Effect 3 surpass its predecessor and provide a memorable experience?Mass Effect 3 was clearly made in mind with not only catering to the older fans of the series, but to gamers who enter the Mass Effect galaxy right on the third installment. This is made evide...

Fun while it lasts, but sadly not as special as its predecessor 0
It's tough coming into a game like Mass Effect 3 with a universe you've come to love and characters you can't wait to adventure with again, all the while knowing this is it. It has to end. (… Well, for now, at any rate.)It's also tough going into ME3 knowing that it's very unlikely to be better than its predecessor. That's not really Bioware's fault, but the simple fact that it's the third and final part of a trilogy. The story has to be wound down, conflicts must resolve, characters must reach ...

Unite against the Reapers 0
Mass Effect 3 follows Commander Shepard and his/her crew as they prepare to seek help for the impending showdown against the Reaper invasion – something that has been in the works ever since the original Mass Effect game. It was difficult enough to defeat Sovereign, one of the first Reapers to return to the current Galaxy, but now there are many Reapers – everywhere – and they seek to once again restart their cycle of death to make room for life. Commander Shepard has no choice but to seek out a...

Great Space Opera with Poignant Emotional Moments (Spoilers) 0
When sitting down to write a review and my thoughts about Mass Effect 3, there are a lot of things that need to be taken into consideration. One has to remember that this game is the final chapter in a story that we have been following for almost five years now. Because of that there are certain game and story telling elements that I think have to executed in order to fully close out our journey. These elements of course may or may not make for the action packed story that we saw in other games,...

A discussion of ME3's weaknesses 0
So much has been discussed and written about Mass Effect 3, I don't really feel the need to go into all the details. However I did want to go over things that I was worried would detract from my enjoyment of the game, and ultimately didn't.Both Jeff's review and the tone of discussion on the podcast really got me worried. Here are some of the points made here and elsewhere and how I feel about them.The game is short: I finished around 32 hours and I didn't feel the game was short at all. In fact...

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Alien Apocalypse 1
The Mass Effect series is, so far, the only body of video game fiction worthy to join the heavies in film, television and literature like Star Wars, Lost and Harry Potter. The rich universe of characters, locations, conflicts, phenomena and funny names created by Canadian developer BioWare not only stirs a rabid fanbase but also mines a vein of franchise dollars on a scale unseen before in role-playing games. All tales must end, and Mass Effect 3 concludes the trilogy just like those aforementio...

Despite hard feelings, Mass Effect 3 delivers 0
What do you consider the greatest game you've ever played? When this timeless question is asked, well-deserving titles like the original Super Mario Bros., Half-Life and The Legend of Zelda are often mentioned. It then, of course, sparks a perpetual debate about what sort of prerequisites must be met to be considered among gaming's most elite. However, sometimes an anomaly approaches with substance and quality that are simply unmatched in virtually every category of contemporary gaming. Sometime...

Great Conclusion 0
The Mass Effect trilogy has come to a conclusion and it seems to have enraged a few people. Commander Shephard's battle to save the universe from the Reapers comes to an...odd conclusion.I will get to the ending, but for the rest of the game, the title is excellent. Not as good as ME2, but still better than the original and a more than suitable conclusion to the best new RPG franchise this generation. Bioware has toned down your team to a smaller core group that you have more time learning how t...

A really mixed bag 0
Mass Effect 3 is a really strange game. There's an undeniable amount of polish to it - famous voice actors, big set pieces, fluid controls, and some quality story telling. However, that's weighed against some spotty writing, short content and what appears to be cut-corners.ME3 starts a few months after ME2, with Shepard having once again lost his crew and his ship. The reason why Shepard is in this predicament is only explained by a bit of ME2 DLC, which is not a great way of starting off your g...

Triumphs and Consequences 0
Mass Effect 3 is the final installment in a trilogy and the culmination of a series of triumphs and consequences that have come as the result of the decisions you’ve made through the first two games. In that respect, the Mass Effect franchise is the first of its kind to create such a complex and structured narrative. Whether big or small, the choices we’ve made have come to give each of us are own unique Mass Effect experience. All of our Shepard’s are different, and each one has a different sto...

Just the Ending 0
Ok I'm going to start this by making my position clear, they lost me half way through the second game, in my opinion they bowed so much to "fan" feedback form the first game that they ruined the game I wanted.So lets catapult forward to number 3 eh?I know I will rub some people the wrong way with this but... The ending is fine.ok ok, calm down, I took the time to watch every ending, before I said this.I really cant get my head around the uproar, I mean dd you see the ending of CoD black ops? or ...
