    I looked up the endings to ME3, seemed all right to me, and I've played ME2 at least so I know what's going on.

    Man, that demo though they put it out, turned me completely off to getting it...pacing and writing was like...ugh...

    Well you know those were two completely different missions almost 10 hours apart put together right?

    No I mean the first mission felt off to me

    something was just really off about the pacing

    Oooh yeah. A lot of people agree the beginning of the game isn't like 1 or 2, and I think that has to do with the fact that at the last minute they cut out an entire courtroom scenario where Shepard would be tried for their actions with Cerberus. Basically from what I've seen the first couple of missions as a prologue get you started and after that the game doesn't stop in terms of quality once it hits the main portion.

    Oh look

    you just made that entire intro sequence make sense

    thank you

    cause I was literally wondering right off the bat in that demo; "Why the fuck am I in a holding cell?"

    it's based on the events of ME2 DLC, Arrival

    But if you didn't play Arrival, it was an Alliance black ops team instead and you're just in "detention" because you allied with a pro-human terrorist cell.

    Basing the intro to a series like that on DLC seems like a really stupid decision anyways.

    I mean if it's an imported save where you played it sure, but having the default be based on that?

    Kinda dumb from a writing stand point.

    Well, yeah, the import save if you played the DLC directly mentions your involvement in Arrival.

    If you didn't play the DLC or just started a fresh game Anderson says it's because of your Cerberus involvement.

    Me too.

    But there is such a thing as a middle ground where someone like me can be okay with the concept of a bittersweet ending and still think what we got was not good.

    Mass Effect 3 ending
    For some reason a lot of people seem to think that everyone's beef is that ME3 doesn't have a happy ending, when that really isn't what most of the complainers are saying in the slightest.

    It's probably not very good! But I felt good about sending something about that game, considering how much time I've spent thinking about it lately

    You tended to repeat yourself a bit too much, but otherwise I enjoyed it and agreed with it entirely.

    Especially when you started listing off the little moments that were masterfully written. Everything you mentioned that you wanted to give credit for was something I loved, too.

    Two things are certain: one, the review is going to be positive, and two, you have discovered a fantastic new way to masturbate. Let’s all pause a moment so that the commenters can reverse my masturbation metaphor to refer to this article.

    Upon reading this, I openly wept, Orik.

    Yeah.

    That was a damn good joke.

    Also, it must have been difficult to figure out how to do a spoiler-free review of ME3. I probably would have just given up trying.
