It does have its flaws, sure, but Mass Effect 3 is still one of best crafted closures to any trilogy. Now, nine years after the original release, I come back to Mass Effect 3 in Mass Effect: Legendary Editionand find that I appreciate the game even more. So, when I was given (essentially) four choices at the end of the game, and one of them was Destroy, I took it. From the moment I played the original Mass Effect, I knew I wanted to (spoilers) destroy the Reapers. I personally never had a problem with Mass Effect 3’s ending. People ignored the fact that for the previous 50 hours, you got one of the best crafted, well written, and emotionally traumatizing experiences in video gaming. After spending two games making many massive decisions, people ultimately felt like the game was a lie because the endings were down to four possibilities. Mainly this was due to the ending of the game. Mass Effect 3 is a funny game in that at the time of its release, people formed strong opinions about how bad the game was.
