BIG ANNOUNCEMENT COMING LATER THIS WEEKENDAlso, because I already did this for friends and I think maybe I should spare anyone within range of my words the trouble of finding out for themselves:
Be wary of Mass Effect 3.
Youtube the endings BEFORE you purchase the game. They'll be easy as hell to find on youtube by now, and I am just one of thousands of fans that is disappointed/enraged/saddened by how the franchise ended. I can honestly say if I had known that's the way they would've ended it I would not have bought the game.
Those last five-ten minutes? They're so low in quality and full of WTF creative decisions that it manages to sour the entire franchise. They're contradictory at best and retroactively invalidating at worse And the more you think about it, the more holes you find and the worse it gets. It's not even So Bad It's Good. It's like...It's M. Night Shyamalan bad.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, maybe even great. I was all set for saying it was Game of the Year. But yeah, take my advice, investigate the endings, and decide NOW rather than buying a brand new copy. Or rent it. Or buy it used. Just don't get a
new copy and support this kind of crap with your wallet.

Anyway, I hear the first major DLC is supposed to be called the Truth and apparently is supposed to fix the ending problems. I heard a rumor they changed the ending at the last minute because of some leak or something.
Damn it Bioware.
Comparatively to the rest of the game, and the series, once they deal with bright-eyes (trying to be as vague as possible here) it just kinda goes into a shit spin where they cut it off ASAP. Still a great game, and it ended appropriately, but they left a major hole in the end. Like a scarf that caught on fire at the end.
But, your opinion. Not mine.
However, the Multiplayer is far too good to just can the game >.> Multiplayer is ME3's salvation.
As someone on a forum said, it's not that we want a super happy ending, we just want one that doesn't suck and isn't exactly the same as the other endings.
Does a cutscene REALLY invalidate all the fun gameplay beforehand?
...unless this a game that is only great because of it's story, in which case then it's not a great game, it's a great interactive movie.
