Main game, 7/10, gameplay is good but all the character interaction is, good but at the same time, entirely predictable, basically no new characters, no new main characters I should say and the way the game goes is just unbelievable. Hard to explain without major spoilers so.
If the characters were all new or that was a single game the characters would be a lot more interesting but as it is I just felt like I was going through the motions in 99% of the crew interaction which, in the first game was maybe the highlight of the game.
Endings though, the last 20mins of the game are a 1/10 score, and that is bring generous, they are SO bad I'd say it utterly utterly ruins the trilogy.
A LOT of films are doing endings the same way though, no real "after" ending.
If you think about the first game, the fight at the end the game would basically end with the final shot to kill Saracen, no talking no, nothing else, just end. As I said films seem to be doing that a lot lately also, but end of a massive trilogy you've played over what, 4 and a half years, and the ending is that god damned weak is completely unforgiveable.
At least the matrix ending was there, weak, crap film but there

Well I haven't played the game yet, but on the face of it I though that would be a good thing. In fact I was hoping for few new crew members tbh. The second game was all about building a team, to just discard them all and spend another game building a new team would be pointless, and would render the whole second game pointless imo(maybe it already is story-wise). Though this comes back to the problem of Bioware backing themselves in to a corner by allowing anyone to die, so they had to introduce new characters really. But I am quite happy that there are not many new characters really.

Having had a while to reflect on it, I'm even more, I think I feel genuinely gutted at how it ended.
Even worse its one of those endings that when you restart there is so long to go through to choose a different ending, only to find out its just as crap, the third one I youtubed as I couldn't take it a third time, and it turns out I'd already seen the "better" endings anyway
It occurs to me, Matrix 3 sucked in general and not a great ending but its a barely 4, maybe 5 hours, each ME game is what 35-60hr's excluding DLC, I feel so invested in it, and the ending was crap followed by a non ending after it. I honestly can't believe like 500 people, bioware guys, EA guys, ea bosses, early game testers, anyone that got to see the endings early didn't all tell whoever makes the decision the same thing, the endings are beyond crap, fix them and you have a masterpiece of a trilogy, leave them as is, everyone will be so utterly disappointed its a joke.
Even the fact that, when you see the endings you'll realise it was as much cost cutting as anything else, which makes it even more irritating

I am just trying to make the most of the main game and getting my war rating as high as possible. At least in this game previous decisions seem to have much more of an impact on the game.

been hammering out some more tonight, games picking up now for sure think my official game time is 7hrs in now. almost reached the minimum war level or whatever it is.
my game keeps on hard crashing though which is starting to get really annoying and everytime i click on repair it wants to download all 9gb again

I am guessing this has been done to death earlier in the thread.. but i cant holster my weapon.. because of console gamers??? nice
If the rest of the game is as reflection on that frankly absurd decision i might as well turn it off now

I am at the same place as you I think. I get the occasional hard crash when I close the game.
Not played this yet and my 360 copy hasnt arrived ill ask in here since consol thread is barely moving, To the people who have finished it, Regarding the ending now dont tell me what happens but do you reckon its weak due to them changing it?
Because if i re-call correctly the script was leaked every one hated it and so they altered stuff? Maybe the ending was something they changed and its back fired
