Mass Effect 3, The end of the Shepard Story


****************************SPOILER ALERT**************************************

Ok thats out of the way, i had many plans for this game when it came out. I preordered it as soon as i heard i could. I've played the other two so many times, i know stuff by heart. I planned to at least play my normal paragon guy who's Super Shepard, and my hot red headed lesbian renegade who does what she likes. First of all this game is harsh making you understand what war can really be like in real life as you have choices in the game, sometimes they both suck. Especially if you saved the Rachni in one, and have to chose to either save Grunt, or the whole race. Me personally i will take a Krogan over anyone so no Rachni anymore lol. The game, and the story were great. Did irritate me that even though i didn't lose anyone from 2 they weren't availible as shipmates in 3. Right up into the end i gave this game a 15/10 best game ever, etc, etc. Then the game turned into something else. Like a bunch of monkeys and an evil squirral came together to see how bad they could mess up the ending. I'm sure you have all heard how bad they mess up the ending that over 65,000 people have made up a community on facebook, as well at holdtheline.com, and other sites just to tell them so. Me personally i hated : 1)The 3 choices being so crappy that i wanted Shepard to shot the synthetic child and just do something else. 2) The plot holes were so bad that everyone was left asking what just happened. (Relays destroyed, whole fleet stuck in the Sol system, how did Ad. Anderson beat you to the Citadel,etc), 3) All the ending turning out to be just so utterly the same with a few minor twist. 4) Your loyal band of crewmates running for their lives and leaving you to die only to get stuck on some bizarre planet. 5) You Shepard lives ending being him taking one breath from a pile, just to name a few. After the ending i got being so utterly horrible that i just sat there on my couch sad, and dismayed i almost stopped playing the game forever. If not for the mulitplayer, which has a concept that i would like to see more more online games. A team of online players not playing capture the flag, or kill human, etc. But working together against waves of npc's that get harder. To me at first it sounded like it would be lame, then it turned out to be the only redeeming value of the game.  Final before any of the ending DLC 6/10 Funny thing is if it wasn't for the people i have met after being so destroyed by the ending, this game wouldn't be as memorable as it is. Here's hoping, fingers crossed that Bioware, and EA can fix the gold goose they tried to strangle. Also was happy they had DLC that you had to buy on day one, if its ready on day one it should be in the game. Just saying.
