    Mass Effect 3 nailed it! The story, the battles, the feels - everything was on point. Plus, the ending? I actually liked it. Props to BioWare for wrapping up the trilogy in style.

    i dont understand why so many people doesnt like the ending of this great trilogy, in my opinion its pretty good. the reason why it is only 6.0/10 is only people's expectations, which are their problem. if you didnt played ME saga yet, dont listen to them and make your own opinion

    Don't get the hate for this game, it lived up to the other two games imo. The only issue I had with 3 is that the majority of the side quests are empty fetch quests. And the mission journal didn't show updates on progression which bothered me. I prefer me2 but this one was really good as well.

    Great story continues and ends(?) Most people are not happy about this game but somehow I enjoyed. My own ending made me a little sad.

    +Great story.
    +Interesting characters
    +Good gameplay and sensitivity (finally)
    -Controls aren't bad but could be a little bit more efficient for pc players.

In Mass Effect 3, I got the feeling that everything is smooth and polished when compared to its predecessors. Well everything except the ending obviously. But otherwise I really enjoyed this game, the missions are more plentiful, more diverse, more interesting, the interactions and relationships with your squadmates are as great as they always were. The story itself is pretty predictable but individual missions are very interesting with important choices to be made. Graphics is similar to ME2, but still very nice, polished and likeable. Game font is also pleasing to the eye. Music is nonintrusive and well chosen (Bad Choices). The range of story choices is maybe a little bit more limited than in ME2, but it still offers a great variability. The only trouble with this game is the ending. Upon the game release back in 2012, the ending was just a joke and even with two DLCs and a lot of fixing and polishing, it is still mediocre and unmemorable, specially for a great trilogy like Mass Effect. Such a trilogy deserved better. It is a pity that there is no peaceful path when dealing with Cerberus, it just seems maybe a little bit too extreme for Shepherd to switch like that and really hate Cerberus in ME3. Also maybe the events between ME1 / ME2 and also ME2 / ME3 could have been explained in more details. But these are minor and mostly personal problems. It is worth noting that this trilogy is really supposed to be played as such and jumping straight into ME3 without a previous save from ME2 and knowledge of the events of the previous games would be inadvisable. Microtransactions are present in the mild form of overpriced DLCs. SJW nonsense is maybe a tiny bit more apparent than in the previous games, but still nothing major.

    DLCs:

    Leviathan - The first true story DLC released for ME3. It is well written, with dark atmosphere and a few surprises along the way. This DLC is very important for the main story of ME3 and indeed the whole trilogy, so much so, that this should have absolutely been part of the base game and not a DLC. Otherwise worthy story DLC. Verdict: 70%

    Omega - The second story DLC for ME3. It takes you back to Omega, which you no doubt know and love from ME2. Its a classic optional story DLC with very little ties to the main story. This time you cannot take any squadmates with you and instead you play with Aria and her "friend". Omega is fun and the only real downside is the price. Its about three times as much as I would consider appropriate. Verdict: 75%

    Citadel - The third and last story DLC for ME3. This time the developers decided to do something different and allowed Shepherd and his crew to take a break from fighting the reapers and relax. Well mostly. I would separate this DLC into three parts. The first one is the story itself, which takes you around the Citadel and forces you to fight your own clone. The second part is the Silversun strip, which is basically a mall with a bar, a casino, an arcade and an arena. All these are fun to play with plus you can find your friends on the strip and spend some quality and fun time with them. The last part is a big party that you can throw in your new apartment. This whole DLC is definitely leaning towards comedy and it is filled with jokes and puns. It fits very well towards the end of ME3 and the entire trilogy and the developers really made the best out of all the relationships you built during your playthrough. It really works for Citadel and it makes you feel almost nostalgic. The price is more appropriate for this DLC than for Omega, but still a little too much for my taste. All in all a great DLC. Final verdict: 92 %

    I personally enjoyed Mass Effect 3 very much, the meh ending did not spoil nor diminish the hundreds of hours of great fun I had playing this fantastic trilogy. The journey is, after all, the destination. Final Verdict: 94 %    … Expand

    Mass Effect 3 obviously has a very controversial ending. I can definitely understand why, but all I'm going to say is that the journey is important, not the destination. And what a journey that was! I still love Mass Effect 3, despite its flawed ending. And at least they released the Extended Cut DLC to improve it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mass Effect 3'ün finalini oynadım az önce. Muazzam. Harikulade. Uzun zamandır böyle etkilenmemiştim. Gözlerim yaşardı valla.

    Harika bir aksiyon rpg oyunu olmuş. Karakterinizi istediğiniz gibi seçip geliştirebiliyorsunuz. Yine sizin seçtiğiniz ekip üyeleriyle çıktığınız maceralarda seçimlerinize bağlı olarak galaksiyi şekillendirebiliyorsunuz.

    Ekibiniz ikinci oyuna göre biraz daha küçük. Benim favorim EDI idi. Yapay zeka fetişim olduğu için kendisini alabildiğim her görevde yanıma aldım. İkinci oyun daha çok ekip ruhu odaklıydı. Büyük görev için ekibinizi toparlıyor, onları ikna etmek ve takım ile size olan bağlılıklarını artırmak için çeşitli görevler yapıyordunuz. Üçüncü oyun ise ekip değil galaksi birliği odaklı olmuş. İkincide ekibin fertlerini ikna ederken, bunda birliğe mensup türleri ikna ediyoruz. Bu da yerinde bir seçim olmuş. Çok tutan ikinci oyunu tekrar etmektense bize daha büyük bir amaç ve çözülecek büyük problemler vermişler. Hikaye boyunca bize katılmaları için türlerin birbirleri ile olan düşmanlıklarını çözüyoruz ve neticede bize yardım etmelerini sağlıyoruz.

    Hikayede zor seçimler var. En zoru tehlikeli oldukları için kısırlaştırılmış Krogan'ları tedavi edecek miyiz, yoksa ileride başımıza bela olmasın diye onları ve arkadaşlarımızı kandıracak mıyız? Bir diğeri de efendilerine isyan etmiş tehlikeli yapay zeka ırkı Gethleri özgür mü bırakacağız, yoksa öldürülmelerine izin mi vereceğiz?

    Oyun yan karakterleri öldürmekte çok cesur. Bir kaç oyundur bağ kurduğumuz karakterlerin, bizim seçimimize bağlı olarak veya olmayarak ölmelerini izlemek hüzünlendiriciydi. Oyundaki seçimlerimiz kimin ölüp ölmeyeceğini, olayların nasıl gelişeceğini bir fallout new vegas seviyesinde olmasa da etkiliyor. Geliştirici ekip üçlemenin ve hikayenin son oyunu olarak tasarladığı için, karakterleri öldürmekte elini korkak alıştırmamış. Çok sevdim.

    Tüm büyük eserlerde olduğu gibi ana karakterimiz Shepard dahil herkes hata yapıyor ve sonuçlarıyla yüzleşiyor. Tüm galaksiyi bir araya getirsek bile biz dahi kusursuz değiliz. Bizim hatamız nedeniyle Asarilerin gezegenlerini kaybetmeleri ve milyonlarcasının ölmesi oyunun en umut kırıcı anıydı. Çözüme ve galaksiyi kurtarmaya o kadar yaklaşmışken, elimizdeki her şeyi kaybetmek ve bunun yanında ölmekte olan Asarilerin telsiz konuşmalarına şahit olmak duygusal açıdan zorlayıcıydı.

    Oyun oynanış olarak ise ikinci oyunun üzerine hiçbir şey koymamış. Aynı şekilde kendimizi ve ekibimizi geliştiriyoruz, aynı şekilde çatışmalara girip ekibimizin güçlerini seçip kazanıyoruz. Silah çeşitliliği yeterli seviyede olsa da oynanış bir yerden sonra baymaya başlamıştı ki muazzam final bütün bu düşüncelerimi telafi etti.

    Oyunun final bölümündeki devasa savaşta oyunun finalini oynadığınızı hissediyorsunuz. Uzun uzun, zorlayıcı çatışmalara giriyorsunuz. Genelde bu tarz shooter oyunlarında final combat olarak sönük kalır. Ama bu hakkını vermiş diyebilirim.

    Finalde hikaye baştan sona tatmin edici şekilde açıklanıyor ve her zaman olduğu gibi bize seçim hakkı tanınıyor. Hepsinin avantajları olduğu gibi, dezavantajları da var. Ben transhümanizm meraklısı olduğum için organik yaşamla sentetik yaşamı sentezlemeyi seçtim ve kendimi feda ettim.

    Benim için en tatmin edici şeyse Mass effect üçlemesiyle, Asimov evreninin ve Batllestar Galactica'nın ortak yönlerini görmekti. İnsanlığın yakın ve uzak geleceğine dair çok fazla sayıda benzer tehlike ve çözümler sunuyorlar.

    Sonuç olarak özellikle hikayesi ve finali nedeniyle çok beğendim. Ne zamandır anlattığı hikayeyi doğru düzgün neticelendiren bir seri deneyimlememiştim.    … Expand

    Wonderful game. Great game. On par with the second part. And only fans whose thoughts the developers have not read spoil the impression. I understand why the game is not liked by those who have not played it. I went through the game from start to finish, got a red ending and I have no sense of a "traffic light". A bitter but emotional ending to the whole journey.

    BioWare captures the scale of the conflict well, but always focuses on the people involved in it. It's pretty amazing just how badly EA disregarded the heart of the game – the characters and the world – when they began their marking blitzkrieg, but don't worry, it's oh so definitely there – Day 1 DLC, controversial endings, and questionable use of resources be damned. This is a fine, lovingly crafted game with a clear vision despite the realities of corporations and damning business practices.
