I was really surprised by this throughout the game, I must say. TNO pointed out some nice little touches in his ME1 review, but back then it still felt amateurish, an early attempt at trying to get computer game cinematics to look "just like movies!" But the quality of some of them in ME3 is unmistakable. As much as the Crucible is a stupid Deus Ex Machina plot device, I really like the direction in the cinematics that involve it - from Hackett overlooking the construction, to the sense of finality as it docks into the Citadel and Hackett says "this is it" - the line's redundancy should ruin it, but it's exactly the kind of cheesy line you expect and it works.Cinematically, though, these sequences are really well-done
I honestly would have been happier if they had never come out with this ending DLC. I was kind of just happy to have completely forgotten that Mass Effect 3 ever happened, now all the derp just comes coming back and it's impossible to contain. How can something worked on by so many people be so fucking incompetent and broken? It's like there's a god, and he exists solely to troll me.
That's overestimation, I'm sure they would have found a way to fuck things upDesign-by-committee.
For me, they only serve to juxtapose and hammer home just how bad the dialogue and story are - when I look at them all I do is keep asking myself: how the hell did you fuck (the rest) up so bad? It's like seeing a gold-threaded silk bow tied over a stinking pile of turd.Cinematically, though, these sequences are really well-done (not the weak slideshow stuff, but the other sequences).

Ah, yes, I finally noticed what was missing:
Once more: RK, congrats for finishing this saga (at least until more DLCs show up)
I like how he put the maximum efforts in producing the first game's LP, and then gradually lost interest as the series passed by.Awesome LP. Indeed, awesome series of LPs.
It accurately reflects his loss of humanity as reaper indoctrination took effect.
Will you do the Leviathan DLC?
"Something lurks in the dark corners of space, something powerful enough to kill a Reaper," read a post on BioWare's blog.
"Shepard must discover the most closely guarded secret in the galaxy before the Reapers silence it forever. Discover more about the origins of the Reapers as you race across the galaxy to find the Leviathan. Unravel the dark history of the Reaper Race before it is too late."
A reaper named Winston will join your team. He will bicker with Javik in the mess hall about how to properly cook space noodles.
Yeah, it's "a little odd" to do story DLC after such a definite ending. Unless they do post-ending DLC, but that would be a bad idea for wholly different reasons.
Still, I'm sure it'll see. You can play it with like your pre-endgame save, lulul.
