I love that every gaming publication that I have any respect for was very positive about ME3. Eurogamer doesn't hand out 10/10 very often, for example. Destructoid's review specifically praised the ending. But go to Metacritic and compare the critical scores to the fan scores - it's the most laughable thing ever. The critics think it's one of the best games of the year, which it without question is, whatever you think of the final minutes, yet the majority of the fan mob think that it's literally one of the worst.

For PC and Xbox, the average user score is 3.7. Think about what sort of game gets 37% these days, given how games are rated.

Yeah, not crazy at all. There's certainly no mass hysteria or any kind of negative group think happening at all. It's not like there are thousands of fans all referencing the same two articles and YouTube videos. No no, it's simply sophisticated clear-headed individuals who all just happened to come to similar conlusions all on their own.
