10/10 - Agree (5) Disagree (1)
I recently changed this from an 8 to a 10
Given the Controversey over the game over the past few months, I don't think This truly deserves a 10, But Bioware's efforts with the Extended Cut have both fixed several holes in the story/confusing parts, as well as in my opinion, provided a "better" ending to the choice I made.
Ending business aside Mass Effect 3 was a moving experience for a video game. More for the story and relationships among your friends and crew than the gameplay, but nonetheless a rollercoaster.
And in regards to the extended ending. A Quote from Mass Effect 2, that I think fits the situation.
It's not Perfect, It's not *exactly* what I wanted, but it's the best they could do.
I'm not ready to blindly throw money at EA/Bioware just yet, but I'll give them the respect that They tried to fix the conclusion of a series that had/has the potential to be the Star Wars of our Generation.
Also Massive Spoilers, The 5000+ EMS Destroy *Red* Ending is the closest thing to a real happy ending you will get.
Crew standing around Memorial, Saying their goodbyes to Shepard's Memory, Tali Standing in the center of the crowd with Shepard's name Plaque, Hesitant to put it on the wall and refusing to beileve shepard is gone. Ship takes off. and then Rubble Scene. SHEPARD LIIIIIVES
Obviously things in this scene will vary, male/female shepard, romance partner, etc.
Anyway, Beggars can't be choosers, that's the closest thing to a rainbows and butterflies ending I think they can really get within reason.
