More of a bad movie than a game.

I have played ME3 through twice now (Action and then RPG or whatever the 2nd option is, on hardcore) and am done. It felt like the only time I was playing a game was on missions . The exploration is boring and extremely limited. You only find fuel, war assets and artifacts (turned in to NPCs on the citadel for more war assets) which are almost meaningless considering there are fuel stations and the amount of war assets you obtain has almost no bearing on the game save slight differences in a couple of cut-scenes. Which is why i don't understand how the creators put so much emphasis on it without including any real consequence to obtaining fewer assets. The only place you can visit throughout the game is the citadel, which is where the side quests are and the Journal is iffy at best because it rarely gives locations for turn ins and you end up searching the entire citadel over and over. Also, some quests can't be completed if you leave the citadel. As far as the choices that can be made over recruiting one race or another...let's just say that the salarians are pushovers and the quarians are idiots and mordin dies either way. The lovey-dovey stuff with Ashley was really annoying Javik was probably my favorite character because of the line "they used to eat flies", so dark and humbling, wanted more of that. Over all I thought the game missed some really important marks, mainly the replay value that is supposed to come out of all the "choices" but I realized on the 2nd play through that I was actually in a box and not a dynamic RPG.
