I've certainly a few gripes with it, but overall it felt more polished than ME1, had a better second half (minus the ending) than ME2, and was generally a lot of fun. I encountered a bug only once or twice throughout the entire campaign, thought that the character and mission writing was on par with or better than it was in previous entries, and can say that I have zero regrets about pre-ordering it.

I wonder to what extent one's experiences in the previous games (including the data in your save files) shape both your narrative and gameplay experiences in ME3.
I don't see how it's more polished than ME 1. I have encountered tons of bugs, many of which are even discussed by players on Bioware's forums and a few have even been acknowledged by Bioware itself...

If my posts are mostly negative, it's probably due to me being a big fan of the franchise. That probably makes me more critical than other people.
I didn't say there were no bugs or doubt you were encountering them, I suggested that certain play styles/save files/etc. may prompt one to see more. I played 40 hours and encountered only 2 or 3 in total.

I'm sure you just must be "more critical" because you're such a big fan of the franchise. Maybe if I were a better/bigger fan I'd have more negative things to say. :roll:
You said it was more polished than ME 1. Hence why I brought up the bugs I've encountered.

and the majority of complaints any product gets usually comes from the more hardcore fans, hence my statement about me being more critical because I'm a big fan. A statement I only made because you said I was hating on the game. I was just offering a reason why I may be coming off that way. Plus, a lot of my posts are kind of on impulse since I go back and forth between playing and posting. So when something in the game pisses me off, there's a good chance I'll quickly mention it in the thread in the heat of the moment. Like that post I made a while back after being killed by those damn cloaked Geth Hunters.

How far are you now? He deserved it.
I'm playing through the Reaper Base mission on Rannoch. I was getting impatient and just got killed by a rocket launching Geth. It's my own fault for being careless, but I'm still kind of pissed. Some fights in this game just seem to take too long so it irritates me when I die. So I think I'll stop for now and pick the game back up some time tomorrow.

Looks like at least the Better Bussiness Bureu is on your side.

As someone who's never played any of the Mass Effect games....

...all this hoopla is over ME3's ending is extremely silly.

Is it silly and over the top? Yeah, maybe. Does Bioware deserve it? Sure. The facts are the facts, and they lied to their fans. The reaction may be extreme, but it's not undeserved.

Personally, I find all of this rather amusing.

Alright, I'm officially done playing ME 3. I've had it with this game's cheap bullshit. I ride an elevator and then get thrown into a room with three Geth Primes, no decent cover, a turret and god knows what else all those other red dots on my radar were. Screw this game. It's not like I have any reason to keep pushing through anyway given how shitty everyone says the ending is anyway. What am I going through all this crap for?

Add me to the bandwagon of people who aren't happy with this game

I would actually say keep on playing, you were about to get to one of the better parts of the game, getting the geth and quarians as allies. Trust me after this part things get easier. Though it seems playing as a soldier is easiest. Plus seeing the ending in first person makes it even more shitty? :lol:

As a fellow Mass Effect fan trust me, the rest is worth it, keep on playing. Please :)

Also if I remember correctly there should be a geth type mini-gun on one of the boxes in front of you right after you exit the elevator. works really well.

The game was tough so you hate it? I never felt the game was all that challenging at all. Though I was playing on normal...
