I can live with the ending, however.

Ilike how they improve some aspect like how you can move with your character, much better then the 2 first version. End game, well not the best but i can live with it. Overall, i really enjoyed the game.

I apologize for resurrecting this thread, but I'm behind the curve more than a bit as it relates to buying new things as they release.

I'm actually playing ME3 for the first time this past week (I realize it came out in March), and I'm really, really, enjoying it. I acknowledge that it is definitely more RPG than anything (with some action/fps-style elements), and I do lament a few things that are missing (that I enjoyed) from ME2 (like planet scanning for minerals (which in turn gave me nostalgasms for a game I used to play called Starflight)), but on the whole it's a minor criticism. If the game had ship-to-ship combat, it would probably be almost 100% satisfying.

Things I like: it has a epic scope and feel, philosophical / moral dilemmas (which I love), plenty of drama, fps elements, strong characters (good voice acting), and it's sci-fi. Sure, the cutscenes may dominate, but they're at least as good if not better than a lot of sci-fi movies I've seen, and I'd honestly rather play a well-crafted game than watch a mediocre film.

I really like games that give such a strong sense of immersion, and this one definitely fits the bill (for me).

If I'd given up on EA/Bioware after my schism-level disappointment with Dragon Age2, I might never have played and enjoyed this. I'm glad I was willing to take a chance on ME (2 & 3), because I've found it very rewarding, independent of any judgement on whether it's right or justified to sell content post-release.

Having now reread this thread, I can admit that my tone may have been a bit overboard.

On a side note, I read the Dr's who founded Bioware left EA recently. Many others were RIFed or departed on their own. I'm curious if the old Bioware team will start a new company. I imagine it wouldn't be too tough for them to get some venture capital.

I'm currently working through ME2 in prep to blow through ME3.

I know I'm behind.

Yeah, I need to snag those one of these days.
