The redesigned Normandy sucked.

While I loved the game, I wish the side quests involved more than scanning random planets for some guy's shit. Also, too much auto-dialog, I like being able to micromanage shepherd's dialog.

The same thing that has disappointed me throughout the entire series: you amass a sizable amount of followers, only to have them sit around your ship the entire game being utterly worthless. The only time in the series where I didn't feel like I was Papa Shepard bringing home dinner to a bunch of helpless children was during ME2's suicide mission, when your crew finally got off of their lazy asses and finally helped you do something.

Lazy "scan this!" side missions for pretty much everything.

those dream sequences

Kasumi's Stolen Memories was my favorite DLC besides Lair of the Shadow Broker. As for a disappointment, that would be that Banshees, Brutes, ATLAS's, and the Rachni are just glorified bullet sponges. I love the game and its entire series none-the-less.

Fights with Kai Leng were boring. For a biotic ninja hes really damn slow

Well I can say something for Mass Effect 1. - I beat the game on Insanity and it didn't give me the achievement...gonna do that for my Infiltrator guy.

The streamlined dialogue system. Or the stupid fetch quests. Or the stupid multiplayer map horde mode quests. Or the journal. Or the character assassinations. Or the stupid war assets and EMS/galactic readiness system. Or Priority: Earth. Or the ridiculous and pointless coup mission. Or the fact that there's only one (lame) hub world. Or James Vega. God, where to start with ME3? This could easily go on and on and on... It would actually be easier to list the redeeming qualities of ME3.

Legion dying.

[quote] And no I don't care about bullshit DLC characters.[/quote] Javik is -blam!-ing awesome. OT: Disturbing lack of neutral options in conversations.

The -blam!-ing crucible.

Only one? -Autodialogue -Dialogue fork -No neutral option -Dialogue options being largely similar with only a difference in tone. -Autodialogue -Shepard is no longer your character -Fetch quests involving scanning for space bibles and space artifacts -Invading people's privacy by eavesdropping to take said fetch quests instead of actually having a conversation with them. -No exploration, consistent with Bioware's "If people don't like it, remove it entirely instead of fixing what was wrong with it" philosophy. -Squadmate interaction is lacking. -Liara favoritism. -Autodialogue -Shepard being depressed over Thessia. Would have been nice if we could actually influence him like in the previous two Mass Effect games. -Playing Renegade is painful in Mass Effect 3, not because of difficult choices but because it's so damn inconsistent. One moment Shepard is a completely nice and respectful dude and the next he's executing people. It's like Shepard is a psychopath. -Journal UI is terrible. -Ashley being sexed up just because Bioware "needed her to be sexy" even though that's inconsistent with her character. -Kai Leng is a horrible antagonist. No wait, I take that back. He's laughable. -Cerberus being the main enemy for most of the game instead of the Reapers. -Cerberus is reduced to being a comic book villain organization. -Cerberus somehow expanded so quickly between Mass Effect 2 and 3 that they've built up a fleet and troops that rival the Alliance. -EMS -Your choices being reduced to nothing more than a number. -Harbinger being nothing more than a cameo. He doesn't even speak to you once. -Anderson is a -blam!-ing moron. -Crucible. "We don't know what it does, but we're gonna build it anyway and rely on this Space MacGuffin." -Your choice regarding the Collector base at the end of Mass Effect 2 not mattering at all. Mass Effect 2 is rendered completely pointless. -No trial like the Arrival DLC heavily hinted was going to occur. Would have been a perfect place for newcomers to make choices from previous games and for veterans to defend their actions. But no, no trial. -The intro is -blam!-ing stupid. There's no build up, it's just "Oh committee wants to talk to m-HOLY SHIT REAPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" -Earth is special for some reason. -Those dream sequences are annoying. I don't give a damn about that kid. Bioware tried so hard to make us care, but they failed. -Instead of attacking and taking control of the Citadel immediately, the Reapers decide to do everything else first. Why? I don't know. You'd think that they'd want to stick to that aspect of the original plan, in order to cut off the galaxy from one another, preventing an organized response from occurring. But no, they're nice enough to wait. -When the Reapers finally take control of the Citadel (What happened to that Defense Force we authorized? They can't be dead, we see traffic when we're inside.), they decide to somehow move it to Earth. Why? I don't know, because Earth is special. -Priority: Earth is nowhere as good as the Suicide Mission. And I would have loved to see all my choices in effect, like Krogan riding dinosaurs or something. But no. Phew, I'm exhausted. If I think of more, I'll edit my post. But for now I'll just leave you with: LOT'S OF SPECULATION FROM EVERYONE!

I was disappointed by the little exploration on offer, and the seriousness of the story took away the from the fun that me2 had. The dialogue was so much more linear than it should have been. I was impressed by the multiplayer, but the matchmaking speeds were poor and i didnt like the random boxes and how long it took to get enough credits for the big ones.

The Miranda romance scene was terrible.

Mainly Cerberus. They got turned into generic evil bad guys. I wish there was a way to support them more. I also didn't like how predictable the game was. I replayed the series recently and had a blast playing ME 1 and 2. When I got to 3 I stopped because it got boring and slightly comedic.

That there wasn't a feel of exploration like ME1 & ME2 had.

What the OP said, and auto dialogue.

The graphics for everyone's hands.
