If that's what we get after all this time then it would've been better to never see her face. Did the art team get distracted by an orgy before finishing their jobs?
I've seen this game's metacritic ratings. EA has a lot of money to spare.
I'd be ranting about "fuck bioware and fuck EA", but you all are doing the job more eloquently than I could. I'm personally trading this game in tomorrow and going with the game I was assfuck-retarded to pass up and go for this instead: Tales of Graces F.
At least with a Tales game I know I'm in for a game that has actual thought and give-a-shit put into it. Just that image alone is a symbol for how much of a colossal failure this game, and Bioware, has become.
What's worse? Aside from Garrus and Mordin, Tali was my favorite character.
...Fuck...
Disappointed about this shit too brought the collectors edition feels like i should sell mines or give it to a friend (never like to sell my games)

You can get $30 credit if you trade it in to GS. If you sell it you might make more...maybe. A lot of people are angry about this and word is spreading fast, after all. the negative reviews from the public are up to 160 and counting on Metacritic alone.
Whatever you do, at least you know Bioware won't be making a buck off that copy you bought. Trading, selling, or giving it away literally means someone else won't buy that copy new, and in turn means that, of the two of you (you and whoever buys/receives that used copy), Bioware/EA only got money from one of you. It's a round-about way to fuck those who've fucked you first. Makes me smile a bit if I think of it that way.
_You could always go the dramatic route and film yourself setting it on fire in protest. Really turn some heads...kinda. Bit of a double waste, though, since buying this garbage in the first place was waste enough for all of us undeservingly punished fans.
Since I'm jobless and can only afford two games this year (Growlanser for the PSP and one other), I'm gonna trade this in for the 30 GS credits to help me get Tales of Graces F. No way is the one other game I'm getting this year going to be this shit.
Oh, and you don't get extra credit for trading in a collector's edition, something I learned when I traded in my copy of Human Revolution after it's shitty as fuck ending. Better to either sell it or give it away, in my opinion.
EDIT: Just to say my own peace as well in regards to the ending (vid and explanation as to why this game is assfuck-retarded:
Spoiler:
This has got to be the most idiotic, paradoxical bullshit I've ever heard from such a pretensious, drooling plot.
So what have we got?
-The Reapers are actually organic/robot hybrids made from the unified...uh...essence(?) of each race that came from a previous cycle.
-The Reapers are made by the Catalyst, some demigod techno bullshit that lives inside the citadel(?). How? Why?
-Well, the "why" is because it is a way to stop the "cycle" of "Chaos" from continuing. What is that cycle?
-Organics vs Synthetics, apparently. Organics will, at some point, make sentient machines that will, at some point, rebel against their creators. Peace? Laws of Robotics? Don't be fucking idiot! The only true science is that found in the Terminator!
-Instead of explaining why it's a bad idea to make sentient machines, the Reapers just say "fuck it" and reap the organic life to make new reapers. ...Leaving behind underdeveloped organic life so it can evolve.
...Into an intelligent state, and eventually make robots, thus continuing the cycle THE FUCKING REAPERS WERE MADE TO STOP!
WHO IN THE UNHOLY FUCK WROTE THIS PURE, UNADULTERATED STUPID?!!
Not to even touch on the assfuck-retarded metaphysics implied behind the scenes here, but the whole plot doesn't make sense.
Why don't they turn all life into Reapers? It would actually STOP the cycle that is supposed to be stopped, but never is since they never destroy/reap all organic life and let other organic life evolve until they are smart enough to make sentient machines!
How in the blazing blue hell does this demigod computer AI thing "Catalyst" NOT realize that, in its attempt to stop organic life from making robots that will eventually kill it, it's essentially developed that very same cycle of man vs machine ON ITS OWN thanks to the Reapers routinely coming to fuck everyone up?!
Why be all mysterious and evil and not, you know, EXPLAIN?!
And best of all, HOW IS THERE A CYCLE OF CHAOS OF MACHINE VS ORGANIC IF ORGANICS STILL EXIST?!
Check it: If this was such a big problem that some AI wanted to stop the cycle, then there'd be no organics. At all. Whatever the first machines were would've wiped out all organic life since, at that hypothetical era, it would be the first cycle and no one would know how bad it was to make robots capable of doing such a thing.
That last one might be a bit much for some to comprehend, but the rest of it still proves that Bioware did a horrible job of ripping off Revelation Space.
Seriously, ME3 destroyed my expectations of Bioware. I really loved Neverwinters Night, Star Wars KOTR (1-2). Unless they get better writers or the original ones from those and ME1, I have no hopes on their games anymore.
sorry guys about not having the spoiler up, completely slipped my mind. won't happen again
the multiplayer of Mass Effect is pretty good, can't complain about it. the only things that ruin it for me is people who constantly use stasis and cryo blast with sniper rifles. to get headshots. reminds me too much of stun grenades in COD.
Also the Vanguard class is way too over powered. people constantly abuse the Biotic charge followed up with a nova smash. (kill just about anything in game that doesn't have a shield or barrier.
Oh, just realized this bit of raw idiocy that comes with the endings to ME3:
Spoiler:
Quoted from a youtube commentator:
"Hell yeah, the ending choices are basically all the same they just changed the color of the light the comes out of the Citadel. Fucking gay if you ask me. And I want to know why the hell the Normandy was in FTL through a Mass Effect Relay when they were supposed to be helping fight near Earth and how the hell did my squad teleport from getting fucked up by the reaper, right before Shepard beams to the Citadel, into the Normandy??"
There's so much this game has to teach us about how to write a narrative...
Fuck what everyone else says. I'm having fun with the game (just broke off 12 hours straight play) and I don't appreciate it when others try to ram down my throat how 'bad' a game is and then quickly proceed to call me 'retard'. Losers. :P
If I listened to half what critics say I wouldn't be playing The Old Republic, too. This game is a great work, though I haven't tried the online yet, after this long playing and taking my time with everything I've yet to be disappointed. Now, back into it.

The ending is the biggest steaming pile of shit to ever disgrace a story. Ever. I cried at the end. Because this was the end. 5 years of fantastic memories, absolutely crushed by 5 minutes of bullshit. I mean that literally too; in 5 minutes Mass Effect 3 went from the most fantastic game I've ever played to wishing I could gouge my brain out so I could never remember this moment.

Nah, everyone's entitled to their own opinions. I just think it's quite a disappointment. I'll probably try it when new DLCs or when the prices get lower (which are likely because of the reviews)

Your reaction is exactly what I did at the end of the game "Rage"
Also the Vanguard class is way too over powered. people constantly abuse the Biotic charge followed up with a nova smash. (kill just about anything in game that doesn't have a shield or barrier.
And then they die because they're derp charging and never see that rocket geth or sentry turret that will eat them after nova.

AT LAST
someone who isnt raging at it :3
I dont care about reviews as soon as i get enough cash im getting it for myself
I'm really loving this game. I'm playing through it twice at once, first with a paragon engineer and second with a renegade infiltrator.
I'm nervous about reading too much of the thread because I'm too fresh in the game still to not worry about spoilers, but I wanted to say that if anyone wants to ad me on PSN and team up for multiplayer, that would be awesome! I'm on PSN as CydSherman

mass effect 3 was shit b4 i saw the endings but now... i mean come on 6 squad mates?
fuck jame and edi there should have been 8 i want my wrex, thane, jacob/miranda and the damn geth i would be happy but no instead we get to see all our old squad mates get an hr or so of story then getting cast aside,wtf was up with the crucible shit, the game itself which fucking makes all your ME playthoughs worthless with the bland endings, the only thing redeemable about the game was the maw not giving a fuck
other than that i cant believe i wasted $60 on this shit
I just spent about 20 minutes designing my appearance to look as much like me as possible I clicked conform and it reset my appearance :/
Good thing I wrote it down for other playthroughs 1st.
I can sort of see why people are disappointing though I'm still reserved on my judgement of it yet though even if I end up disliking it I'd get over it and start to enjoy it any way. Going from ME1 to ME2 they made improvements to the game play and graphics but going from ME2 to ME3 it doesn't feel like there have been any improvements that I was expecting if any thing the graphics seem worse though it might be just like skyrim when you install the game.
