          Only 8 hours in. Loving every epic minute of this game.

          I too have not read a single spoiler. And I won't. I figure in the next 2 weeks I will be done.

          Hope I am not as let down like so many seem to be. And I want to play through ME2 and ME3 again with a new build.

              Okay, now THAT might be an overreaction. The ending sucked, but do I need a refund? Come on man.


              I love amazon though.

                I haven't finished the game yet, but this is all becoming too ridiculous. The game isn't broken and that's the story they intended to tell (with OUR input when playing the game).

                If this becomes widespread, I should be able to get a refund for every bad movie I've ever watched in theaters.

                Now back to the game...

                    Re: Mass Effect 3

                    So yeah, the ending is as bad as people have been saying. It's very disappointing, but the ride was still fun, packed with fan service and some of the most memorable moments in the trilogy.

                    ME1 is still my personal favorite. It's weird though, because I wouldn't say it's a better game than 2 and 3. It certainly had the benefit of being the first, so it was the freshest and maybe there's some nostalgia in play, but I loved how it didn't feel processed through a million focus group testings and Exec meetings. ME1 mechanically and technically is messy, the inventory is FUBAR, there's a lot of redundant assets, but I loved its mystery, 70s sci-fi vibe, the story and overall narrative flow, grander sense of exploration, deeper dialogue trees, multiple situations on story planets that flowed naturally back into the main narrative, and one of the most badass and complex villain's (or hero?) in gaming in awhile. Saren and Sovereign were the high point, Illusive Man was good, but the Collectors and Harbinger pale in comparison.

                      well, ME1 had the privilege of not going through EA as it was before EA bought BioWare and was published by Microsoft instead. Probably similar to the Dragon Age: Origins to Dragon age 2 transition, although DAO released after EA bought BioWare, most of the work was well before.

                        The common element, not surprisingly, is EA. Honestly I really want to blame EA for this ending debacle more than BioWare. I've just got a feeling EA pushed the game to completion before it was ready. Release dates, marketing, and everything else was already set in motion.

                          It's still my favorite as well.

                          ME1 mechanically and technically is messy, the inventory is FUBAR,
                          Maybe, but at least there was an inventory. The reason I liked ME1 better than the rest, was because it was the most RPG-ish of them all. I liked ME2, but I couldn't help but feel sad about how dumbed down it was for the masses. It was, to me, the Dragon Age II to DA: Origins.

                          I know the Mako was a PITA to drive, but I liked being able to actually land on different planets and explore parts of them. Remember how some of the atmospheres would damage your suits and potentially kill you if you didn't seek shelter? And how there was armor that was lessened your offensive capabilities a little but at the same time would nullify those environmental hazards? I loved that.

                          I liked tensing up when I drove the Mako over an open area of land knowing a thresher maw was going to pop up any second. I would weaken him with the gun on the mako and just when he was about dead, I'd get out and kill him with my guns/powers so I'd get more XP for the kill. Remember getting XP for your kills?

                          I liked managing my inventory, buying and selling, hooking up my crew's gear and all that. Micro-managing the upgrades on their weapons was fun to me. Sure, it was a grind, but I enjoyed that grind. Your weapons would overheat if you were stupid with their usage or didn't mod them out right. I had a sweet *** sniper rifle that would basically overheat every time I shot it because I went for pure firepower instead of using that mod that cools it.

                          there's a lot of redundant assets, but I loved its mystery, 70s sci-fi vibe, the story and overall narrative flow, grander sense of exploration, deeper dialogue trees, multiple situations on story planets that flowed naturally back into the main narrative, and one of the most badass and complex villain's (or hero?) in gaming in awhile. Saren and Sovereign were the high point, Illusive Man was good, but the Collectors and Harbinger pale in comparison.
                          Agree with all of this. Saren was the best villain in the series to me, not the best boss fight, but I loved him as a bad guy. Seeing and listening to Sovereign for the first time is still one the most awesome moments I've experienced in gaming. Harbinger had that potential, but ME3's ending pretty much ruined it for me. The whole story in ME1 was just amazing. Unless I count the Mako controls, there was no letdown in that game for me. I went through it with three different characters multiple times. I put hundreds of hours into that game.

                          I played through ME2 (and it took me months for that one play through) once and felt like, okay, that's enough. The same goes for ME3 (even though I think ME3 is incredible, and much better than ME2 the ending pretty much took replays off the table). The only reasons I'd play through them again now is to get some achievements, and I really don't care about achievements.

                          I don't know if it's because they're owned by EA now (and who doesn't love to hate EA?) or what, but Bioware has really lost my faith in their ability to make quality RPGs now, at least complete ones.

                            I remember the Mako tipping over every 3rd planet and getting stuck somewhere every 5th planet. Then there was the hover thing in ME 2 that blew up if it ran into a mosquito or a drop of rain fell on it or someone sneezed in it's direction. Thankfully there's no vehicles in this.

                              I get that people are disappointed with the ending and all, but playing the full game, using your online code or CE codes, then wanting your money back for opened software?

                              What company would be that stupid to take back opened games? What's stopping people who have played other games from pulling the "I didn't like the ending!, I Want my money back!" after keeping the game for two weeks?

                                Regarding the Amazon refund, its nothing new for them. They will refund products if consumers are unhappy with them.

                                “Once you open the package and if you are not satisfied you can return it for refund,” said the representative. “It applies for the all the items shipped and sold by Amazon.”
