I would say at the end of the day I did actually like Mass Effect 3. I do feel things could have been done differently to make it a better game. I just don't believe that makes ME3 a bad game though.

Obviously the ending was bad and felt way to deus ex machina. Cerberus could have been handled as an enemy much better, they just come off as 'worst then hitler' a bit to much. Some parts of a game play toke a step froward with things like gun selection. Other gameplay elements toke a step back, very similar enemies, removing the whole shield/armor/health from ME2. Also I felt they never really figured out biotics, you tend to just spam your same basic ones(besides the vanguard which improved). There are a list of other small grips I could say.

Overall though I can't say it was a bad game, just sort of unfulfilling.

Not nearly as iconic as the towns in WoW, I do feel Divinity's Reach from Guild Wars 2 needs a shout out. It is by far one of the largest cities in any RPG, not only that it feels more alive then most other cities you will find in an MMORPG. It is a large walled city that has multiple storeys with 6 different districts all inside a large circular wall. There are a ton of NPCs out and about, giving off there own unique audio cues. As well it actually feels like there are enough people living inside the city that it feels more real then most other RPG cities.

Divinity's Reach stands as the best city in Guild Wars 2(although the steampunkness of the Black Citadel is awesome in its own right). Far better then Lions Arch which sort of acts as the games main hub. Although it doesn't help that Anet decided to wreck LA up, leaving it in a pretty terrible state as a hub city.
