I should stop buying on release day, $30 is an great deal for a game that's amazing till the last 10 minutes
Mass Effect 3 is now under $30 is it really that bad of a game?

Mass Effect 3 is an amazing game, definitely on the same level as the previous two. All the focus on the ending has made people forget that.
If you have played the previous games, it is at least one of the best games this generation. It does have one of the worst endings ever but that does not make the game up until that point any less fantastic.
It's selling for $30 as part of a 24-hour Amazon Gold Box deal, this is not a permanent price drop.
I haven't played the game myself, so I can't really comment on the game's quality, but a few of my friends, who are diehard Mass Effect fans, did not care for the ending. That said, they still enjoyed the game quite a lot, and are getting a ton of mileage out of the multiplayer. Seriously, it's like all they play these days.

I bought it for 30 bucks like 2 weeks ago from another online website, zavvi.nl [http://www.zavvi.nl], and yeah, it's worth that amount of money really.
The thing with Mass Effect 3, is that even though the ending is complete and utter shit, the rest of the game is really, really, REALLY good. Which is terribly sad and ridiculous.
Get it, you won't regret spending 30 bucks on hours of good entertainment. Just take the ending with a truckload of salt.

This. It is a sale.Space Spoons said:
Speaking of sales. ME3 has sold over 3million copies, outselling ME1 and ME2. So there are a bunch of vocal detractors, but they are a very small percentage of those who bought the game.
I think the game is great, including the ending. I think it is the best of all three--though ME2 was also really brilliant.
Actually yes. I'd say $30 is still too muchDarknacht said:
There is no Roll Playing in ME 3 (There are only Paragon and Renegade choices for Dialog. and All of Shepards lines that don't immediately follow a "Renegade" choice are far too nice)
The script (While the dialog is brilliantly written) is laden with plot-holes and stupidity. (Udina's a councilor, regardless of ME 1 choice. Cerberus is a bad guy, regardless of ME 2 choices. James calls you "Commander" even though you weren't in the military for all the time he's known you. and many many more that would count as spoilers)
The controles are frustrating (5 different extremely important commands commands on 1 button)
Most of the enemies have incredibly cheep attacks.
Everything besides shooting has been stripped from the game (They even made planet scanning worse)
In order to get the Sarcastic air-quotes"Best"Sarcastic air-quotes ending you need to grind through several hours of multyplayer right before you take on the final mission. (Which is exactly the place when the emotional tention should be the highest and there fore it's the last place you want to stop and change your gameplay gears to multyplayer.)
Then the ending was so bad that it retroactively ruined the entire series. (It rendered everything you did moot, it offered no closure, ect, ect
No, it's not comparable. I have a friend who had his dick bitten at the end of a blow job once. It scarred him for life! Literally and figuratively!Devoneaux said:
Funny (but true) story aside, it really isn't comparable.
The finish is the most important part of a blow job.
But with stories, majority of the time the most important part is what leads up to the ending, and the characters you meet along the way. A good ending makes a story better, but a bad ending doesn't make a great story bad. It makes it a great story with a bad ending.
People could still get 30+ hours of enjoyment out of the game. I think that's worth sitting through 15-20 minutes of blah.
It's just a sale. But to chip in with the discussion, until the ending it was brilliant, but then the ending was depressingly awful, so yeah. It depends on what 'officially' ruins a game's quality.
