Mass Effect 3

Upon finishing the epic conclusion to Bioware's epic sci-fi saga, I was left wondering 'What the fuck just happen?'.

This is due to the lack of care and attention that went into the games final 1-2 hours. Basically as soon as you get back to earth, it doesn't even feel like a Mass Effect game anymore. Sure you're playing as Commander Shepard, fighting the Reapers and saving the universe but it was ALL just combat with one section for you to briefly stop and take a breather.

Don't get me wrong, the entire series up to the last 30 minutes of gameplay is a masterpiece of story telling but one can't help to hit the final stretch, play it and not have all of their questions answered.

For the final installment in a widely loved franchise, one can't help but wonder: 'What were you thinking?'
