I mean yeah the gameplay in 1 is clunky and the ending in 3 is bad (as is a lot of the way 3 plays out narratively) and (at least to me) 2 is a coward's game that only manages to perpetuate the system of narrative independence by completely abandoning and distancing itself from actually dealing with the repercussions of the player's actions in 1 but i dont know, probably a top 3 space opera franchise in all of media and despite my complaints each game is amazing, the characters are incredibly beloved and memorable, the world is engaging and engrossing, its Mass Effect man, I don't need to sell y'all on this.

Probably the greatest video game ever made. Hard to describe the 07-09 Xbox Live era if you weren't there but playing multiplayer was a near magical experience. You'd randomly get invited to custom games after matchmaking and end up playing some of the wildest forge maps I've ever seen with a bunch of people you've never met and no game has ever come close to recreating the community feel that Halo 3 had. Perfect video game.

cant tell whether to give this 5 or 0.5 but i think this is accurate. the gameplay is good and the writing worked well in 2012 and i probably got hundreds of hours of incredible fun out of playing this with my friends but also if i ever hear another line of dialogue from claptrap i might stop playing video games for ever
