Hope they develop the combat even further. The gameplay improvements from ME1->2->3 are very impressive. They really need better writers for the next entry though. That ending was just inexcusable. Couldn't they just play dumb and pretend the indoctrination theory was legit instead of giving us the turd that they gave us.

It'd also makes my time watching all those theory videos worth something (Seriously what a big waste of time) and it's actually makes sense for the story to continue. 

I seriously don't get all the crap about a bad ending?

They spent three games building up the idea that the galaxy was in for a pasting, that our loses would be immeasurable, and that ultimately pressing against the Reapers was like pissing in the wind.  The whole point was that our choices would mean very little.

For a series that emphasizes that the choses of the character (the player) makes are important and would matter that statement is silly. 

That's just it though - that was only ever true of the journey, not the destination.  For heavens sake, the second game was specifically built around something called a suicide mission.

I am halfway through playing through a new ME3 round, without a save port.  I cannot believe how different the game is.  Your choices mattered.  They mattered to character development, they mattered to relationships, they mattered to species alliances.  But, in the end, just as you should have expected, your choices mattered little to the ultimate outcome.
