We can all agree it was pretty fucking good if we ignore the ending right?

no
It was pretty fucking mediocre even without the ending.
Yes. Despite the ending, it actually closure to a lot of plotlines during the game
Gameplay was good. Story was nonsensical from minute 1.
>hurr we're dumping war resources in building this huge ass machine
> we've no idea what is for
Nah, the whole series was fucked from the start
hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahah
no
It had a poor cast of squadmatea especially compared to the 2nd game. James Vega was a literal who that never mattered and had no reason to be in your squad. Ashley/Kaiden were the most boring characters bioware has ever written with Ashley being the slightly more interesting character because of just how irredeemably awful she is. The most important squadmate the prothean was fucking dlc. Cerberus being the big bad taking over the galaxy was a ridiculous concept and Kai leng being the anti Shepard while a good idea was a weeb with terrible characterization. No Krogan rep.
The indoctrination theory as an ending was way better than any ending bioware could have come up with.
Me3 was the worst entry in the trio.
but it worked didn't it
The ending is actually the best part of that game. The only part that didn't feel like it was written by a girl in junior high school.
Now, that Citadel DLC is what is a true abomination and should make people want to immolate themselves. I know I wanted to after just 10 or so minutes with it
>a downgrade in everyway while making the story and the entire lore more retarded
>still tries to push 'it was only the ending'
The ending was ok if you picked destroy like anyone with sense did
The intro however was liquid shit
I did like how if you killed the Council in 1 the new Salarian counselor supports you because that gave him his job
explain your view
Let's also ignore gringy dialog, plot that makes no sense, characters OOC, previous decisions having very minor effects....
It's hard to fault ME3 for those when ME2 did it too albeit to lesser effects
>the goal of the trilogy is to destroy the reapers
>people are mad that all the endings are the same
You're all traitors because there should've been one ending. And that's cumming inside Liara on top of a Reaper corpse.
I mean usually you IMPROVE from previous installment
how does the plot not make sense
Not him, but again, 2 should've improved from 1. Instead it turned everything into trash
turned out it was a kaleidoscope
No. The ending isn’t even the worst bit of the writing.
>Kai Leng
>Illusive man
>Starchild in the start
>Rachni
>Genophage
>Geth
>Leviathan
They fucked quite a few things.
explain yourself you two
its not that bad tbf
At least Javik was good
Yes
The only good parts were the Genophage and the Quarian/Geth conflict. And those worked only because of the previous games building those plots up. Everything else was frigging terrible.
ok but we can ALL agree the combat was fucking god tier
nah, it's pretty fucking awful
that comes form someone who isn't clouded by nostalgia since I played it not too long ago
the first game is pretty much just utter garbage, the only reason you'd want to play it, is to experience the story from the start, gameplay is a massive turd, I know this game was made for low IQ console fags but they didn't even bother playtesting it on pc, sensetivity makes actually playing it a chore/ almost impossible
the second game is playable when it comes to gameplay but incredibly uninspired
this is also the point you realize that the story is shit and all the hype over this game simply lies in the ability to put your imaginary character's dick into imaginary aliens
didn't even bother to finish the second game but got pretty far
needless to say, I didn't play the third
this entire franchise is just people falling for the romance-meme
What’s there to explain? If you don’t get why the crucible is an even more retarded concept than the ending, you either didn’t play ME1, weren’t paying attention when you did, or you’re an idiot.
>nah, it's pretty fucking awful
>that comes form someone who isn't clouded by nostalgia since I played it not too long ago
>needless to say, I didn't play the third
What did he mean by this?
it's just a perfectly serviceable mcguffin, nothing awful about it tbqh
it never will
>all the hype over this game simply lies in the ability to put your imaginary character's dick into imaginary aliens
And what's wrong with that?
See Shamus Young:
>The star child tells us that the Crucible has been in development for many cycles. Each race adds pieces onto it, finally perfecting the design this time around.
>How? How are the races collaborating? The whole point of the series is that the Reapers surprise attack, kill everyone, and then leave no traces of their work. Does every single race just happen to never find any hint of the Reapers until after the Reapers attack? And then once the attack is begun they find ruins, or old computers, or whatever, and try to build their own crucible, even though nobody knows how to use it or what it’s for? And then they bury their modified plans in such a way that the next cycle will only find them once it’s too late?
>Imagine that the first race, facing the Reaper threat and having no idea how to defeat them, sit down and design a trigger guard. And that’s it. Then they bury the plans for the trigger guard and they die. 50,000 years later, the next race is getting pulverized. Before they die, they find the plans for the trigger guard. They have no idea what it’s for or what it does, but they design a handle to go with it, add it to the plans, and re-bury them.
>And so it goes. 50,000 years. A safety mechanism. A rifled barrel. A magazine. A rear sight. The trigger. A front sight. A muzzle. An ejection port. Nobody knows what any of this does.
>Then Shepard & Co comes along. They follow the plans, which builds a Glock 17 pistol. Admiral Hacket points to the chamber. Something goes in there, but we don’t know what it is or what it does.
>Then you meet the Star Child, who just happens to be a 9mm bullet, which miraculously is a perfect fit for this pistol, even though the people who built it have no idea what a bullet is or what it does.
>Then the Star Child explains that the next step is to put the bullet in the chamber, aim the weapon at your foot, and pull the trigger. That’s how you “win”.
>cycles finding shit they don’t know the function of and working on it post Citadel cut off
>cycles building on it despite not speaking the same language
>the reapers repeatedly ignoring it in their literal millennia long purge of any evidence of their existence
>Why are we on Earth?
>Why are the Reapers on Earth? Was the plan to attack the citadel and close the portals?
>Why are we building a machine without understanding what it does?
>Why is Cerberus suddenly the biggest military organisation in the galaxy?
>Who the fuck is Kai-Leng and why should I care?
>Why did selling or keeping Legion not matter?
>Why did saving or killing Wrex not matter?
>Why did blowing up the Reaper Base not matter?
>What is EMS? How is it measured? Why doesn't it have a real ingame effect?
>Why are we so focused on saving Earth? Earth was never important in ME1 and ME2
>How did Shepard's helmet preserve his brain after the crash in ME2, when you can go to the wrecking site and pick up the helmet up on the floor?
>Why am I wasting hours, days and WEEKS fighting gang wars and doing dance parties when Thanos snaps his finger every 15 seconds
>After beating Kai Leng, why is Shepard sitting down on the holo-pc? What is he doing? He told EDI to call the fleet and was ready to leave. Was it just to have a scene where you punch Kai Leng's sword? Why?
>Why is the citadel suddenly capable of liquefying humans?
>What is the Blue Beam? How does it work?
>Why did the Reapers close every single portal except the one to earth?
>Why didn't we use the Conduit on Ilos to enter the citadel?
>Why can EDI suddenly hack Reaper software?
>Why didn't we fly into the Beam instead of making a ground invasion towards the beam?
>When the Reapers noticed that we tried to reach the Beam, why didn't they turn the beam off?
>Why didn't we just kill the Spider reaper with a Caine Launcher even though we did that 10 minutes earlier?
>Why does Cortez's ship crash unless we talk to him about his dead gay boyfriend?
>Where the fuck did TIM come from? There was only one corridor towards the control station and Shepard woke up at the end of it?
>Why is TIM suddenly a psyker or mage or whatever and can control Shepard and Anderson?
what's wrong with that is that the devs pretend it not to be
they should have removed all the dull "gameplay" and just made a fully fledged porn game with completely interactable sex scenes
Shamus Young is a fat sweaty virgin who doesn't know how to have fun
Schematics are pretty universal in design desu
This chink is the worst character every created in any Bioware game. He's so laughably lame, I genuinely thought he was supposed to be a joke character in the 2011 preview material.
No only does he have 0 motivation or personality, the first time we ever see him, he gets his ass kicked by a frog with terminal lung cancer.
