Finished Mass Effect 3.

So yeah, the ending is complete garbage. No point me stating every reason why, it's been covered to death, but ultimately, like the whole of Mass Effect 3, it felt rushed. As in, Bioware were rushed to finish the game, and it really shows. Another year in development and maybe we'd be talking about the best Mass Effect game of the series, but as it is, it isn't on the same level as ME1 and 2.

The main missions were great for the most part, and the combat was definitely the best of the series, but everything around that was done so much better in Mass Effect 2. The side quests (which a lot of would have been poor by even MMO standards), the locations you could explore, the sense of place in the galaxy and authenticity of the fiction, the interactions with characters, the atmosphere, the list goes on... pretty much everything outside of those main missions was lacking compared to what the series had previously offered up. I'm just left felt very underwhelmed by a lot of it. They took Mass Effect 2 and stripped it down even further, outside of the combat. Which, as I say, makes the whole game feel rushed. And then of course the ending to top it all off...

This ending DLC coming up better be amazing. I can't see how they could possibly fix the issues the ending currently has.
