Mass Effect 3

ME1 ME2 ME3 and FOR SURE ME Andromeda. yup. :3

If you're really a hugue fan you should really think about catching at least the citadel DLC
it's very good with a lot of fan services

Also me got to do the final one :-)

i played ME1 and ME2 and the third only 10 Hours. i don't know why but the third isn't good as the first and second. maybe i will try it another time

I really need to do another playthrough at some time with all the DLC, haven't even seen the 'fixed' endings yet :S somehow I wound up with a social life (I have no idea how that happened) and then discovering steamgifts on top of that... not so much free time
part of me wants to replay the entire trilogy again but I'm not sure I'd ever find the time!

ME3 is actually the only ME I've played so far pls don't kill me because my uncle sent me some PS3 games a few years ago and it was there so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I wasn't expecting to love it so much and I ended up buying the trilogy after finishing it 2 or 3 times and spending way too many hours in the multiplayer. But I never got to play the other two, mostly because I'm lazy and then because I switched to pc gaming and because I'm a really lucky person, my tv also broke, currently leaving me no way to play on my PS3 :D

The original ending had only 3 colors (they were the main difference between them). Also, it had pretty huge plot holes, which created the (quite big) Indoctrination Theory. It even got as far as people looking into the game's files looking for clues (for example, the names of individual models).

I played and enjoyed all 3. Mostly, in regard to character development and great characters, like Tali. The first game was by far the best imo though, even with repetitive planet exploration and identical locations. The story was simply incredible and the ending was epic. Gave me goosebumps. There was this constant feeling of impeding doom and fighting against the odds to survive. The sequels simply couldn't measure up to this. The second game felt like an intermission, like let's do some chores while no one is attacking us. And the third simply didn't have that feeling like there is any danger. Shepard was killing Reapers left and right like they are just pests, where as in the first game it took combined forces of all Citadel races just to kill one. I still recommend all 3, just to talk to all the great characters in the game.

There are some decent books written from the same author who wrote the story for the games. He has also written numerous star wars books if i recall. Revelation, Ascension, Retribution, Deception - Drew Karpyshyn & William C. Dietz

So many poor souls that never played the series...

I really wish EA would drop Bioware points and put the DLC for 2 and 3 on special. I really want to play them :(

I still have yet to get to it.

Mass Effect is the only saga that I played in a row for a month, and god it was worth it.

Loved each of the games and possibility to carry on my save though all the three games. Mass Effect 2 is my favorite, but Mass Effect 3 had my favorite moments from all the saga.
The only think I disliked from the ending is that the only thng that matters is your final choice, making a little useless all my effort (I literally was able to get ALL the races and side characters on my side against the reapers), I would be awesome to get an ending with a final mission, like the suicide run, but with permadeath, having an advantage depending on how many armies and resources you got on your side, but at the end, the characters who would live or die would depend on how good you did on that mission, kind of like a mission on Xcom.

Other than that, I loved the game and the ending, and I recommend you ALL the dlcs, specially The Citadel (this one is a love letter for all Mass Effect fans)

I only played the first and second ones. At that point, I was kind of done with it. It was a lot of fun, but there were other games that I enjoyed a bit more, so I never played the third one. Although I do own it (bought the franchise pack for it), I have no intention on playing it. I might enjoy it, but there are too many other games that I still want to play. Plus it's been too long since I played the first two and don't really remember much from it.

People complain about ME3 ending, but they don't realize ME3 has several endings, and I'm not talking about the different color ones... I'm talking about Mordin's end, Legion's ending, Tali's ending, Thane's ending, Samara's ending... There are so many endings, some are good, others are better.

The big issue is that in the end, the Reapers were killing all organic life so that organics would not create AIs, since AI will inevitably destroy all organic life. So the AI Reapers kill organics to prevent AI from killing organics. It makes no sense. And that would have been stupid on its own, but it contradicts every AI we've seen in the series.

• The Geth were the baddies in ME1, but those were brainwashed by the Reapers. And even with the Reaper involvement, only a minority could be swayed. Reapers compelling other AI to kill doesn't count.
• The Geth were later shown in ME2 and ME3 to want peace. They defend themselves, but never continue the fight after the Quarians stop killing. We learn that 100% of the time the Quarians made a treaty, they broke it. The Geth only want to live together. And the instant the Quarians call the war off, the Geth welcome them home and forgive them.
• The uncontrolled AI from ME1 that you fight on the moon survives, and becomes EDI. EDI is not only friendly to humans, but enters into a romantic relationship with one. And when her controls are removed and she could do anything, she saves human lives.
• The Prothean crewmate talks about the Zha'til, a hybrid race from his cycle that was part organic, part AI, but merged into a symbiotic cooperative peaceful society.

So tell me again, oh brilliant Star Child in control of the Reapers, why do organics need to die to prevent them from making AI? It sounds like the ONLY bad AI in the entire series is the Reapers themselves.

I agree with you on Mako. Though almost everyone found it boring and I also found it annoying sometimes it gave the game a more open feeling and a sense of exploration.

was hopping it would come to steam as well,i think the origin exclusives should be timed and eventually come to steam anything else is just bad business.

Sorry I didn't play MassEffect, just wanted to say, that you can hide spoilers using code formatting (like this). If you are lazy to remember formatting or open the faq page LIKE ME, comment formatting user script might help you :3.

Oooh im a mass effect shameless fangirl, my friends on steam are exhausted for how much i kept talking about it. Its my fav saga and always will, i think its also about the timing i played them, helped me to figure out a few things.
About mass effect 3 and the ending. Well the ending could have been much more imo, but being such a slut for mass effect i guess that an hour ending would barely satisfy me :3
Dlcs heh, im annoyed by dlcs in general but you cant miss the citadel and the leviathan really.. Or shadow broker from mass effect 2. All money that id spend ten times if i could have one more mass effect with shepard ;_; although, i'll buy andromeda on day one, because i cant hold myself. I cant wait for it.
TL;DR I loved all mass effect games , i see them as a whole game, and the ending could have been much more. But you dont choose what you love even if you know that its not perfect and hurt you.

As it's been said a million times, it was really just this boiling salt during the development of the game / the supposed "mediocrity" of the game up to the end. It's the same case with Starbound at the moment, where people just don't understand how development works and expected the game to be completed very quickly and be a perfect game. ME3 wasn't perfect, but it was a damn good game and still is. The ending really was stupid and random, yeah, but it wasn't the worst thing ever worth the outrage the "fans" expressed.

How full mp servers now? It use to be fun with new challenges and events every month after release.

Never played it

I think we will see Mako again on Andromeda. I probably will have to wait a long time, i'll need money for the game and maybe a new pc.
