In Colin Moriarty's review of Mass Effect 3, IGN rated the trilogy's epic denouement "amazing" with a score of 9.5. He praised its "deeply woven story" and called it a game of "exceptional poise and skill". Now, other editors have played the game at length. Here's what they have to say.
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

Pfff. So what about Colin and his insults to anyone who did not like the ending?
It's such a shame that people overlook the earlier parts of the game just because of the ending. Sure the ending wasn't that good but the journey from the beginning of the game to the ending was beyond great.
Not even one of them commented on the less the perfect PS3 version of the game which is supper laggy and filled with major frame rate, freezing, buggy and other like game breaking issues..
IGN has permanently lost my respect.
"None of the final moments feel like they have any weight to them. They simply feel incorrect,"
I'm glad one of them in the office is screaming the truth. There's one best way to describe the endings and it rhymes with "rock up".
I know it's an rpg and I get that - but right from the beginning it's horrible pacing! I watched those reapers landing and figured earth was vapourized in days. But it felt like I was weeks trying to pull those retards to back humanity.
Honestly a far better, believable plot would've had a huge earth armada trying to stop the reapers. That would be acceptable in terms of pacing.
And - I'd have written it where all the other races were too caught up in their own ass saving. And leave the "win" to be carried out by Sheppard in some super last ditch effort.
The story was ok, the ending blew. And best thing about mass effect 3 is mp! So fun!
I never felt like losing earth was a big deal. Aren't humanity strewn across settlements all over the universe? Maybe it'd have actually been a better plot device destroying earth?! Then do what humanity does best - get revenge!
