It is very good. I thought the style of it sounded familiar so i wasn't at all surprised to learn it's scored by the same guy who worked on the fllns Sunshine and Moon.

All I gotta say is I LOVE the Geth
That's a bit harsh.
Don't play 30-40hrs of excellent game, just because the last 30mins is pants.
Maybe but the ending makes everything rather pointless. I don't want to replay the game now. Shall I rescue some scientists? ....no point because they will die on the Citadel with everyone else.
Most powerful moment in the game for me(and there were sooooo many) was Legions death
And the destruction of Thessia and Shepards talk with the ambassador just after

Actually I might replay it and let Marauder Shields have his moment

It's an odd one this... The ending to the "Game" wasn't really that bad but I think it's because it is Mass Effect in which people have dedicated 120+ hours into and how the previous games made your actions purposeful has made people slightly angry.
I don't think the last scenes were great and could have been far better but I did really enjoy the build up to the end of the game in which most of the conversations felt meaningful with comments about your actions in previous games.
I'm guessing that Bioware has big plans for DLC as they mentioned months before release and they are probably trying to find an elegant way of adding it. This has left the end of the game wide open for hardcore invested fans but Bioware knows they are going to buy the DLC anyways

Even then, and that is a leap, there is too much that doesn't make sense for me to believe that anyone in their right mind could think this was an acceptable ending......How come Joker didn't break any bones for example?
A new ending would be a total cop out and a fail imo, but would fix the game for me
It still doesn't make sense because the 2 squad mates you took with you can appear on the Normady at the end. So it doesn't make sense regardless of how you spin it.
I think I probably will replay the series, but i'll do it in a way i'd never normally play, just to see how extreme I can make the differences.
Like don't do any loyalty missions in ME2, go save the crew straight away, save Mordin in ME3, doublecross the Krogan, etc etc.
The game was originally meant to ship in time for Xmas, but was pushed back because it wasn't going to be ready in time. And possibly because of the plot leak.
When you play the end missions on Earth it's fairly obvious they rushed parts of it due to time constraints. Either that or quite a large chunk of it was done out-house.
Quite a lot of it feels empty / have a distinct lack of atmosphere considering this is meant to be the end battle.
The conversations you have with the characters / team members you've met during the series were too short & empty feeling as well. A lot of it felt a bit cheesy.
Taking out the AA gun was good though with the lighting effects. That one did nail the atmosphere fairly well. Pity the rest really didn't.
And the message box right at the end is the final kick in the teeth, esp as I get a black screen after clicking it & have to alt+f4 to get out of ME3.

All in all, I still blame the Star Wars mmo for how ME3 turned out.
Bioware just stretched themselves too far trying to do both at the same time.
The lesser cash cow, in Big Brother EA's eyes, was always going to come out 2nd best between the two.
From the state of that pathetic ending I'd have waited another 6 months easy. Now anything else they do regarding the ending (from public outcry) will just feel like a peace offering, as if trying to placate the crowd, ultimately spoiling the experience.
Been letting me down for awhile now Bioware have. Time for another dev to rise up and take over.

Buy who? Bioware? It is a division of EA not a real company anymore (I think).
We all would, but accountants dictate how long you can spend on development, and their time & allocated $$$'s had obviously ran out.
ME3 was originally due to be released just before Xmas so they had already pushed it back, costing more money.
As for the Ashes DLC, it's just a cheap way to claw back more money to cover the cost of developing ME3 and SWTOR imho.
He is a pretty good character, and being a Prothean he should have been in the game by default. Which by all accounts he was.

I might actually start ME2 again and choose every renegade option and let everyone die, including Shepard. That is a proper ending!

This game seems to work good in 3D except the aiming is off....you have to aim like an inch or so to the left which is a shame i guess it's due to no 3D profile yet.
Oh well least the fps cap unlock works fine in this at 120hz.
How do you remove the FPS cap on this?

Post number 11. Click the spoiler button to see the .ini settings.
Add what you want from that into your own gamersettings.ini, found in 'Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\Config'
Under system settings set 'MaxSmoothedFrameRate' to be what you want. And vsync to false.
The word bespoke in that quote doesn't make any sense. Bespoke means custom-made, unique, tailored. You can't have a "bespoke ending that everyone gets", because if everyone gets it, it's not bespoke.
