Yes the ending leaves a lot to be desired, but the journey is one that has stuck with me forever. These characters become your friends and this game is the culmination of one of the greatest stories told in video games. The missions are consequential, combat is refined and the pacing is pushed along great by the inevitable reaper threat. It also has a collection of the best dlcs of the series that probably shouldn't be dlc to begin with but that is solved by the Legendary Edition!
