The Ranting against Bioware's New Game.

General
I find it hilarious people saying the game is rubbish, the 0 out of 5 star reviews and such. I know the game didn't live up to the sheer hype it built but the bar was already raised incredibly high. Yes, I know the endings could have been better but I am going to wait and see for myself as I am only on Mass Effect 2.
Just going to play devil's advocate right now. When you have a trilogy where you have multiple choices that branch out into the next game, the game's company is going to have to work almost 8 times as hard to make each ending truly unique. Lets say, two outcomes on ME1, that potentially branches with four outcomes on ME2 leaving people to feel that should be 8 outcomes in ME3. People are asking a lot there and when people talk about getting the "perfect ending", I think they are playing the game wrong as it is about living up with your decisions.
Calgor is playing the third instalment right now. He says there are flaws but he really likes how his choices have effected the final game, some for the worse which he initially thought was doing the right thing. Those different choices now have created the anti-spoiler where you talk to others about the game and see what happened if you decided not to do something, it creates good conversation. Now that I have to give credit to Bioware.

Already made a couple of errors...or one very poor action, and another where I feel I'm likely to have made the right decision, but at a cost which I've still to fathom. Will be fun chatting about your progress in ME1 and ME2 once you're through :D
I don't think anyone would complain if the ending is tragic, plenty of games have tragic endings. People would complain if the ending is unsatisfying.

Enjoy!
I just hope Beamdog will succeed.
And then the last 5 minutes happens and... it's really, really bad. The endings are terrible ripoffs from other games that just make you feel like your choices didn't matter and there's pretty much no closure on anything. Are they enough to ruin the entire game? Not at all, I don't think. People's complaints are valid on that front, though, even if they're being hyperbole'd to gigantic proportions.
I still wanna get the 3rd game of the series and see how my decisions in the first 2 game will impact on the 3rd cx
I'm no fan of the franchise. I didn't care for the first Mass Effect. I see a lot of complaints about the game, and I've noticed it's been a pattern with EA titles. You'd think they would have seen this problem coming and done more to address it. This is the kind of behavior that holds the companies back from their more successful competitors I think.
