  • where civilization is invaded by a highly advanced machine race of synthetic-organic starships - would be great if the name of these starships is given.
  • such as third-person shooter combat with an emphasis on cover - I would rephrase it to "such as cover-based third-person shooter gameplay.
  • For example, the Adept class is proficient in mental powers - mental power? What is that? Telekinesis?
  • Overall, role-playing elements in Mass Effect 3 are more intricate than those in Mass Effect 2 & While the weapon and power systems in Mass Effect 3 work similarly to those in Mass Effect 2 - The gameplay section should be self-contained and you shouldn't expect readers to know what happen in ME2. That mean you shouldn't draw comparison with it.
  • The gameplay section is very neat. Nice job.
  • Karpyshyn departed from the series after Mass Effect 2 to work on Star Wars: The Old Republic - not exactly related to this game.
  • Other major packs include From Ashes, which adds a new squad member named Javik - Should highlight that Javik is a Prothean.
  • Omega, which involves retaking the space station with Aria T'Loak - who is she?
  • Too much quotes in the reception section. They need to be paraphased.
  • GameFocus felt that the voice work and visuals in Mass Effect 3 represented some of the best in the industry - GameFocus is not a reliable source.
  • Source 7, 8, 13, 15, 24, 27, 28, 38, 68, 75, 82, 88, 90, 95, 100, 104, 106, 108, 151, 162, 165, 166 are unreliable/not recognized as eliable sources.

The reception section needs a lot of work and all the sources mentioned need to be replaced, but the article as a whole is in great shape. AdrianGamer (talk) 14:22, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First off, I want to thank you for taking the time to review the article. I really appreciate your feedback and think it has significantly improved the piece. For the most part, I changed everything that you recommended. Here are a few comments:
  • In my humble opinion, I think it is useful to know that someone of Karpyshyn's stature left the series and did not contribute to ME3. Unless you have a strong objection, could I leave that line in?
  • I tried to paraphrase the quotes in Reception as best I could. The only quotes left are single words that I feel are important in their phrasing. Please let me know if you still feel that the section needs an overhaul.
If you notice that anything else needs changing, I will try to knock it out tomorrow or Monday. If we go over seven days, could I get an extension? I feel like we are on the goal line and would hate to fail the article before we run in for a touch down.--Ktmartell (talk) 20:29, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I won't fail a GA nomination as long as someone is working on it. Feel free to take your time. AdrianGamer (talk) 14:27, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
How does everything look now? I think I've finished everything I had on the agenda. Does anything else need expansion or revision? Thanks again!--Ktmartell (talk) 17:29, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The article looks great. Mass Effect 3 is now a GA. Congrats! AdrianGamer (talk) 14:49, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
