Honestly, I feel the complete contrary. I wasn't really offended by the ending, it's just that by the time I got to Mass Effect 3, I realized how bullshit the whole series is.

ME1: great space opera despite plot holes and some lame characters. suffering with gameplay and how arduous is made doing side quests.

ME2: plot that went nowhere, really poor second act. engaging gameplay and fun quests lead to great moments. and that's the hallmark of this game- "that moment when..."

ME3: same gameplay as 2, but with better plot management. absolute horse shit ending that from a literary perspective kills the series entirely.

there really isn't anything else like it tho.

it's best to just let it lie, leave it alone. it's gone and over with.

In what sense? I thought the ending was decent by RPG standards (sure as shit better than KOTOR 2 and Witcher 3). The main issue was the lack of your choices mattering, not the actual closing itself, especially after the DLCs released.

It was mediocre at worst and disappointing at best.

People here generally admit it was a fun and memorable experience and that the ending disproportionately ruins it, which is a fair argument to a certain extent.

FFXIII was a gorgeous game with excellent animation and a high tier soundtrack... all of that to dress up a bland story awkwardly told by a character roster than ranges from tolerable to terrible.

"Corridor -> hackneyed, inorganic conversation revealing a bit about the story -> corridor -> hackneyed, inorganic conversation revealing a bit about the story -> corridor -> hackneyed, inorganic conversation revealing a bit about the story -> corridor" is absolutely not the way to to a JRPG.

Well, Inquisition was pretty shalow, and it worked very well for them that way, maybe they are thinking about doing the same with ME3, because the main difference between the too is that Dragon age doesn't follow the same character or plot. And now that ME3 is without shepeard is their chance to make ME3 an Inquisition in space.

Also i never cared for the Mako.

I never got the issue with this. Do you people not know what the crucible is meant to do? Of course it will act the exact same way, all it does is release energy which is dependant on what Shepard chooses.

The ending was shitty in the lack of meaningfuly choice but not because of that.

No. There were way more problems with ME3 than it's ending. The writing throughout most of it had completely gone to shit. Mac Walters did a pretty good job of fucking up almost everything Drew Karpyshyn had tried to built towards.

Explain.

Mass effect 1 was a good game with boring combat.

Mass effect 2 improved a lot gameplay-wise over me1, but managed to fuck up the narrative and a good amount of the lore.

I only played the first couple hours of mass effect 3, so I can't say too much, but there were two things that really stuck out to me. Having to buy dlc to make the important choices of the first two games, and the entire opening sequence feeling more like uncharted than mass effect.

Woo opinions.
>>
>>321478525
ME1 was a fun space opera that had a lot of good ideas. Overall the narrative and game-play were executed fairly well, but lacked polish

ME2 was a mixed sequel where every step forward was balanced by a step back somewhere else.

ME3 did a decent job of improving a lot of ME2's mechanics, but its narrative retroactively damaged the series by laying bare the emptiness of the players decision throughout the trilogy. The game was then capped off with a woeful climax which was poorly executed and thematically divorced from the rest of the series
>>
And why there was so few companions for us to choose from, and the "new" ones didn't even had time to develop like in the others, ME2 was so focused on the relationships between the crew, and they let it wall away.

>>321482536
Not that anon but both the Quarian-Geth Conflict and the Genophage plot were in both previous games. Both of those games played up those conflicts. Three ends them both rather abruptly for the sake of the Reapers plot which seemed dull by that point. imo the plot seemed rushed in a lot of parts. I would've liked 2 to be about the QG conflict and 3 about redeeming the Krogan.

Yes, and seeing the development carry on in each game (especialyl Mordins development in that he is adament that he made the right choice only to slowly regret it in the next game to the point of a heroic suicide) was excellent in its writing, same with the Geth, what they did to the geth as a whole was pretty remarkable and how if Tali dies in ME2 you cannot make peace between the Quarian and geth was also well done in that you felt a semblence of your choice mattering. The choice over who to side with was also morally grey as there was no right choice.

I thought it was well written and the Geth as a whole were very William Gibson esque in their themes and I thought it was handeled well.

This is speaking as someone who liked 1 more than 3 but the exploration part is about the only really agreeable part there. "Retro" is a matter of taste, neither had strong roleplaying, being buried under 99% useless upgrades (with a shit inventory system) was not a plus and characters were interesting in 3 too.
>>
>>321483661
>Geth aren't "le evil boogeyman"
They're not that in the first game either.
It's just not explained what the geth were doing, and if you saved Legion in ME2 you actually get to see things through their point of view and start to sympathise with them.
>>
>>321483115
Mordin's whole arc was forced as fuck, the fact that he kept repeating the "Had to be me line" every chance he could destroyed whatever impact and meaning they wanted it to have. Not to mention the obviously different voice actor just makes it all worse.
>>
>>321483839

>Things like the reapers and the Shadow broker in the first game were kept mysterious

Reapers never got fleshed out in the second game and how does the Shadow Broker being revealed ruin the narrative? We got a GOAT DLC out of it and it was pretty damn cool how Liara takes over the role with nobody suspecting it which keeps the theme of the Shadow Brokers anonymitity.

Yeah alright.
>>
>>321483562
While most of it was well written neither choices matter in the end. Mordins choice was foreshadowed in ME2 if you spent the time to talk to him. Hell, I think Tali reconciling with the Geth was foreshadowed as well but its been a long time since I played through ME2. So that just makes 3 an easy to write wrap up for those lose threads.
>>
>>321483292
Because everyone could die during ME2, they literally did not want to put the effort into writing a bunch of characters that could have died, so they came up with shitty excuses to keep them off the Normandy. It's especially blatant with Miranda, Samara, and Zaeed.

>>Reapers never got fleshed out in the second game

You spend the whole game hunting down the fucking notProtheans that are harvesting humans to turn them into a spoopyreaper. Pretty sure you also find out that each race that put up a fight got converted into reapers in 2.
>>
>>321484257

They handeled it well imo, as well as I would expect any devs to handle that sort of thing. Some major things can happen, whole quest lines impossible to happen as well as a huge plot element being stripped away (resolving the Geth and Quarian conflict by making them both kiss and make up, can't do it if Tali is kill). Ending not included obviously.
>>
>>321480621
Nah, senpai, it's 3 > 1 > 2. 2's all around inferior to the other products in one aspect or another, and definitely doesn't hold up on subsequent playthroughs. Citadel is a better ME2 than ME2.
>>
>>321483434

here's an example of what I meant

Mass Effect 1 had a lot of guns in each weapon category, but the differences were generally restricted to stats rather than function. The result was a choice between full-auto assault rifle that did slightly more damage, and full-auto assault rifle that had slightly more ammo. This was somewhat offset by the weapon mod system that allowed you to modify the characteristics of you gun to suit your personal play style
Mass Effect 2 reduced the number of weapons, but made each distinct. So now you had a full-auto AR, a Semi auto, a 3 round burst, an LMG etc etc. There was no glaringly weak option, and the player was free to choose based on play style preference, which was an improvement. However, the weapon modification was simplified into an passive upgrade system that removed all elements of customization.

In summary, while the devs improved the diversity of weapons, they reduced the level of weapon customization.

You can see similar things when you look at classes, enemy armour types (and how it ruined 3 classes), planetary exploration and level design and so on
>>
>>321484363

>You spend the whole game hunting down the fucking notProtheans that are harvesting humans to turn them into a spoopyreaper. Pretty sure you also find out that each race that put up a fight got converted into reapers in 2.

How is hunting down the Collectors (protheans) fleshing the reapers out? We still don't know their origin, purpose or anything and you find out that races get turned into reapers at the end of every cycle in ME1. ME2 literally does nothing towards the Reaper plot line and it was one of the more valid complaints, it was a literal filler game (though my favorite in the series).

ME1 and ME3 do the fleshing out, not ME2

>>321484262
Legion jumps at the chance of being a real boy after seeing that the Reaper code can turn the Geth units into individuals. This is a direct contradiction to how their race is explained in 2, and frankly, makes them less interesting as a race by removing the collective consciousness aspect of them.

>liara takes over the role with nobody expecting it

>guns with ammo a nitpick and a well needed change
Hey, fuck you pal. The unlimited ammo was one of the few things that I liked about me1's combat. It made it feel unique and really sci-fi.

The other thing I was thinking of is more of a personal grievance, but the whole human reaper thing was retarded. Like, really super fucking dumb.

this here. Best part of ME1 story was the universe. I honestly wish ME1 had ended with the reapers defeated and unable to enter the galaxy, and ME2 had been an entirely separate plot about Shepard's spectre adventures

Yes, when in ME2 did he say that this isn't what they wanted?

How? They are seeking to be a true AI, how is this contradicting them? It's essentially an upgrade, why wouldn't they want it?
>>
>>321484530
Their purpose didn't change in any of the games. It was always to start over anew to harvest the new top dog. Shown in 2 that humans were top dogs. I don't think 3 did much because the plot seemed like a more of a clusterfuck the closer it got to the ending. The fact that they're able to get destroyed fairly easy in 2-3 when Sovereign was a tough bastard that chewed through the Citadel fleet in 1 also kinda ruined things. While it might've been a filler I don't think continuing with the Reaper plot was the best choice.

No more than ME1? In fact, much less so.

Not after she becomes the Shadow Broker, no.

Fair enough, to each their own. It was still explained and I don't see how it completely fucks up the lore.

This was never specified in ME1 or ME2.

You destroy a incomplete reaper in ME2, it's not even close to finished (EDI specifically says it would need millions more humans to be complete) so it doesn't really count and in ME3 reapers were fucking shit up senpai. Hence the whole fucked up ending, even Bioware didn't know how to write their defeat legitly.

I'll concede the shit with the Reapers. It's been too long since i've played though the ME series. I was positive it was implied in the earlier games and not something you find out in 3.

I don't know, I have 10 bucks that ME:A story is going to be something like that

>Trailer shows a guy with N7 armor
>Bioware explicitly say that the he is not the main character

10 bucks say that the dude in the N7 armor is hunting down your main character who is some sort of outlaw.

Fair enough, easy mistake.

Holy shit, that actually fits. Didn't Bioware say that the song (Ghost Riders) has meaning to the plot of Mass Effect? Wasn't there a leak that part of the narrative is seeking human colonies?

>in the trailer
>N7 dude is wrecking enemies you can't see
>mfw he's hunting down the protag and found one of the settlements he established, that's who he's attacking
>you play as an outlaw on a journey to redemption (one of the meanings behind the song)

If this is legit and done right it could be a nice fucking change from "LE EPIC EVIL GOYMS"

>>321485813
I'd like that. BioWare has proven time and time again that they just can't really write big-picture stories. At least, not compelling ones. Their small-scale character shit works a lot better.

>what the final product would have looked like
With what was shown, I don't think any shape would've really looked good or even made sense.

>what purpose it would have had.
Fucking shit up like the rest of the Reapers?

I disagree, I think they can write them just not finish them. The build up to the reapers was some of the best Sci Fi i've seen in any medium, period.

I'm talking more about all the characters from ME2 who say "Shepard, I'd love to join you on the Normandy, but I can't because of this excuse"

Miranda's on the run and looking for her dad so she can't join Shepard, even though the Normandy would probably be the best place to do that, especially considering the literal Shadow Broker's on board and can help

Samara gives a half-assed excuse about something to do with her Code, and Zaeed literally spends the entire game on the docks on the Citadel after that mission with him. It's very blatant that they just didn't want to put the effort in for these characters

Legion explains that the Geth do not wish to imitate organic life, seeing it as inferior for how their hardware operates. Nor do they want help from the Reapers, as this blinds them to all other options. What they wanted was the Dyson Sphere, where all Geth would be in communion with each other. Isolating each other into their platforms to become individuals is not what they wanted.

No, I got what you were saying. I'm just saying that I thought it was handeled as well as any reasonable person would expect those shill like marketing bullshit to be handeled (I.e "LE CHOICES CARRY OVER BETWEEN GAMES?!")

>Legion explains that the Geth do not wish to imitate organic life

Not played ME2 in ages, mind getting a source? I don't recall any of this. I recall something along those lines, but not entirely as you're putting it. I remember them saying they operate as one because that's the way they are but nothing that indicated they wanted no free will.

How does this sound to you?

>ME2
>Starts off with reports of colonies being attacked by unknown assailaints
>Scene change to the inside of the Normandy
>Alerts and battle stations
>You're attacked by a white ship with an orange insignia on the side
>You get jettisoned and are drifting out to space
>A geth ship picks you, Garrus, Kaiden/Ashley, and Tali out of space, says it's all they could save
>They explain to you that they're grateful to you for ridding the galaxy of the heretics who followed Saren and Sovereign, like Legion explains to you in ME3
>Turns out the colonies being attacked are all non-human colonies, Cerberus is behind it
>Instead of being a benefactor, Cerberus is the main villain for the game
>They plan to release a lethal toxin on the Citadel that kills anyone who isn't a human or something akin to that, I don't know

Does that sound better than the story ME2 had to begin with or way shittier? I liked the human supremacy angle they established for Cerberus, and they did absolutely nothing with it instead opting to slowly kill the series by milking the Reaper angle.

Imagine you're having sex with the girl of your dreams implying implications, etc etc and you're into her, she's into you and it's amazing sex. You then push yourself balls deep and you get pushed over the edge and start to cum. Then she, instead of cumming just starts shitting everywhere and even though you're fucking disgusted you're still cumming because you can't stop cumming at will after it starts, you just have to ride it out and what should have been a great ending to a great experience ends on an awful not, forever ruining the memory of it in your mind.

You're a straight up retarded cuck if you look back on that and think, "Oh, well the experience was great until she shit the bed and ruined a climax that was years in the making"

Pretty sure it's stated somewhere that each Reaper's inner core is made to look like the harvested race, then the cuttlefish outershell is built on.

Wait was that supposed to be an insult?

I remember when there were more Mass Effect threads than any other game...

The real shitty part of Mass Effect 3 was that it turned into a weepy "war is hell" story and the "synthetics are real people, too" storyline came out of absolutely nowhere.
