GamesBeat Review: Mass Effect 3 is a flawed finale

Commander Shepard's final chapter will be remembered not for the epic war scenes, but for the questionable design choices, technical shortcomings, and shady DLC/multiplayer.

Super glad to see an honest review.

Aloren5183d ago

What's your definition of "honest review" ?

roblef5183d ago

I mean a review that looks at the good and the bad. Reviews aren't objective, they never can be, IMO. But it's good to see a reviewer who puts forth his own opinion, based on his own experience with reviewing games, even though it might bug other folks.

"What's your definition of "honest review" ?"

My definition of "honest review" is one that tells it like it is, flaws and all, based on what I have seen of a game or what people I know and trust have told me about it. Everyone I know who has played this game to completion says that it's not as good as ME2 and that the ending not only sucks, but destroys the point of all those decisions the player made. The people I know who played all 3 games say that both ME2 and ME3 were inferior to the first. Still, many reviews give them a pass and call them all great. Videogame journalism has hit a new low this generation.

Aloren5182d ago

Ok, I just don't think this review is any more "honest" than others. I mean I understand it, but it doesn't invalidate others.

I also think ME3 is better than 2 (though I love them both). I reserve judgment between 1 & 3 for when I know for sure what the ending means (but until the last 5 mins, ME3 is by far the best of the trilogy).

There`s a lot of popcorn on N4G. Do people here know what it means to be original?

Jihaad_cpt5180d ago

nothing is truly original.

lmao. Someone's pissed....

Tex1175183d ago

Thats a bit low of a score.

Not saying it needs to be a 10 or anything, but its not a "C" game.

To me it is a 9. Im having fun playing. Im invested in the characters, but Im very wary of the ending (haven't seen it yet, but goodness...it really must be terrible).

--Onilink--5183d ago

all i can say is this, the more invested you are in the franchise, the worst it will be... i finished it a couple of hours ago and well... complete dissapointment.. everything else about the game is great, but those last 10min...damm...it can be pretty emotional, but be prepared to get NO CLOSURE whatsoever on pretty much anything...

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee84d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein118d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator118d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1118d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
