Only 100hrs? Across 3 RPGs? Yeah, that's a rip off. I don't believe you. What did you do? Speedrun the main storyline only?

Despite the botched ending Mass Effect is one of the greatest RPG series ever made. Did you really waste your time? Just admit you had fun faggot, you played it over 100 hours. If it wasn't fun you would have dropped it a long time ago.

>addressing the genophage >ending the quarian diaspora crisis (which ends up being a microcosm of the plot because the devs ran out of ideas) >defeating the illusive manThe correct ending is that you realize the final illusion is bullshit. They are trying to indoctrinate Shepard.The only correct ending is picking red and destroying the reapers forever, let the galaxy find a new way to FTL.The worst ending is the green synthesis one, which means the supreme ascension of the enemy.It is counterintuitive, but although the devs refused to address if the indoctrination theory is correct, they do add a little cutscene that Shepard survives at the end if you pick the red TOTAL REAPER DEATH ending.The game is a litmus test, and the final sequence with the starchild is meant to test if you can be indoctrinated.tl;dr: villain realizes they can't beat you with force alone and try to indoctrinate you with words and flashy colors, you win by doing what Anderson begs you to do, which is shooting the damn thing until it diesI replayed the series too, recently. And the signs were all over the place that the only good ending is the red kill them all.

Aside from how 3 went the closer to the end you got, the entire tone between the end of 2 and the start of 3 was unreconcilable. Throughout 2 shepard was a 90's action hero. The game even ends with a staredown between him and Harbinger. Then 3 starts, he's getting trashed and immediately goes on a PTSD arc. The whole quarian/geth war was also a main story point for the synthetic/organic dichotomy within the main story. As soon as legion got in everything pointed towards the idea that if you can fix one you can fix the other. And then all of that got thrown away. It's apparent the writing teams never talked to each other and part of that is on EA for rushing it as hard as they did.

I seriously don't care about Mass Effect as a "trilogy". ME1 isn't a very good game and I've never played 3. Mass Effect 2 is a great standalone game.

At some point I binged the entire series (having previously cleared ME2 and played some of 1) and never got too invested, so I didn't really care much about the ending. I mean, the series is over, who cares. Complaints about the writing being shit overall are more valid.

I wish we could get some games in the Mass Effect world that weren't shackled to the gameplay and stupid ending of the original trilogy.

I like all three games, writing, endings and all, but I am not as good at kvetching like the rest of you, so that's probably the reason. I am partial towards the fourth ending, where you lose and Liara places the box deep underground. But out of the three "win" endings, that are all sort of similar, I usually pick control. It's the only option that solves anything.

Regarding Mass Effect 3. I never played it because of Dragon Age 2. That was the game that convinced me to stop buying EA games. Maybe some day I'll try 3, it costs nothing on xbox 360.

Well the good news is we should receive some leaks of what they wanted to do with next game. It is likely that they were trying to push through bunch of woke shit like with other games, but this time EA doesn’t have money to lose and rewriting and restarting would cost even more so they pulled the plug.

It was a dead skinwalker company for a while now. Many of them are, really, because devs leave companies behind, and even if some devs make a another studio, it doesn't mean that they will make a game you will like again, pointless to get attached to them.

I started replaying ME3, and this game has a strong start. I also noted the way you're fighting waves of enemies on earth, until you run out of ammo, and only then is the rescue out of earth triggered. It's the "player gets to feel the narrative through gameplay" thing, what's the term for that? Neat stuff that's unique to video games.

Does ME3 have time limits on quests? Are there quests I should prioritize?

I just did full betrayal on the Tuchanka mission. Masterfully written sequence of events, just perfect. No other game has had me this conflicted. I think this story works better with these imperfect choices. I'm glad I didn't have the paragon points for the option, in case that would have solved the issue less harshly.
