imagine , if you will , that you be run a marathon . imagine that you have spend year training for that day , put you heart and soul and energy into it . now , imagine that the day of the marathon , you loved one be there cheer you on . that feeling of joy and pride wash over you as you take off , every mile pump you adrenaline , force you to go on . and you feel good . no. . . you feel satisfied ! finally , the end be in sight ! the finish line be just on the horizon ! you push and you run . it get closer and closer . you be now ten yard away ! finally , the feeling of accomplishment you will feel when you cross that line will finally come ! and then , at the very last minute , someone leap from the crowd and cripple both you kneecap with a softball bat ... that be what the experience of mass effect 3 be . until the very last moment , the game seem nearly perfect . the atmosphere , gameplay , and story seem to be everything we have be wait for in order to complete Commander Shepard 's story . but then , you hit the last ten minute and it be a slap in the face . after you watch the final -lrb- nonsensical -rrb- cutscene , you feel as if you have be betray and from that point on , the game no longer have any replay value whatsoever . I love mass effect 3 but now all that stick out in my mind be that terrible end . it be difficult to say anything else that have not already be say . when the game be good , it be great and then it pull the chair out from under you at the very last minute .
