I was gone for a few mounths, can someone tell me whats going on. Is the story any good?

P.S I blame MW3 and BF# for being gone

Don't spoil it for yourself. The story I believe was solid, but it's probably better if you waited.

EDI and joker got it on
tali and garrus hook up
also there is a deus ex machina ending which involves a reaper off switch

"also there is a deus ex machina ending which involves a reaper off switch"

It's not that simple. Haters just like present it that way. Shep will still need to get as many races together as he can for a counter attack or the "dues ex" plot device has no way of working or even getting built.

I swear people who argue that didn't read what I read. Not a win button, not a DEM, not even close. BDO yes, MacGuffin yes, plot device yes. Stupid? Perhaps.

It should be pretty obvious I think that the Reapers could never be overcome with simple military force, it would be like the European armies of the 16th century trying to defeat the German army of world war 2. It would be a slaughter.

Some kind of super weapon or device is really the only way for the under dog to win.

If you had read the script you'd know it's not a deus ex machina and that it's not an off-switch. The only thing you can amount it to is it being a plot device you don't like since it by definition cannot be a deus ex machina.

It is a deus ex machina and it is an off-switch.

So that means all of the effort Shep goes to during the game isn't pointless.

Nope. 

Deus ex machina is "a plot device whereby a seemingly inextricable problem is suddenly and abruptly solved with the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability, or object."

'Suddenly and abruptly' and 'contrived and unexpected' are the key phrases here. 

ME3's solution has been hinted at throughout ME2 and LotSB, is introduced in the second mission of the game, is absolutely necessary for the plot and is completely plausible if you read the dialogue. The object is not just necessary, (given the overwhelming conventional power of the Reapers) it makes sense given the nature of the cycles and gives the player mountains of information about the Reapers that we just wouldn't get otherwise. 

True dei ex machinae would be if an entirely new alien species randomly appeared in the last five minutes of the game and completely wiped out the Reapers in ten seconds. Or if EDI magically discovered a Reaper-killing virus in her files, that she'd somehow never noticed before. 

Building a solution over the course of the game is entirely not deus ex machina, and it's foolish and misinformed to keep saying that it is.
