What players say
Im sorry but i just cant finish mass effect 3, mass effect 1 and 2 are some of the best rpgs out there and one of the best sci fi game series ever made but the third one is just so much worse than i remember the combat i good but the story is just so much worse and the writing can really feel like a kick to the head sometimes, i stand by the fact that mass effect 2 is the last good mass effect game we got the rest...

What can I saw about this masterpiece that hasn't already been said?? I bought this on a whim, because it was on a sale and "why not?" I knew nothing about the games or franchise beforehand, and I will miss the feeling I got experiencing a Good Game for the first time in the moment. It's a fun, beautiful trilogy, full of heart and humor, and I'm forever glad I made the impulse buy. Keelah Se'lai
Favorite game of all time. Hundreds of hours between the standalones and console.
