[SPOILER]
At the end of Mass Effect 2 you either destroy the collector base, or give it to Cerberus. Assuming you happened to give it to Cerberus, you only saw some Cerberus troopers and mechs in the demo, how how can you say that your decision will have no effects based upon one level?

It seems - considering the evidences - that Mass Effect 2 decisions has very few influence on Mass Effect 3. Collector Base which was the biggest decision of this game has no practical importance in ME3, other major decisions and siding with this or that aren't as important as it was in ME2. And it seems that the Trial is gone too.
Another disappointing part is, with some excuses all ME2 squadmates are gone to defend solely from their interests; despite the fact that they're more vulnerable while deserting Shepard. Just Because ME1 squads are more popular.
So what do you think?
Was ME2 a big Joke or a Shepard's Dream?!
Is ME3 a RPG or a shooter with no (or only few) RPG elements?

Going by the demo alone, I am disappointed with ME3's handling of exposition and use of dramatic build up. Some of the dialogue itself is banally uninspiring (the interaction between the Defense Committee and Shepard). However, the Demo is not the game so it's premature to assess the quality of ME3. I'll do that once the game is out.

Yes, the final judgement and reviews will be written at that time.
Still I think Bioware should invest more time and effort on its games, after this, as ME3 is in the state of Gold.

I think it's fine to judge the Earth Mission for what it is in the demo. One has to remember that it probably isn't all of the intro though. Think of it as the Normandy beginning in ME2 which also happens before the "ME3 logo" combined with the Lazarus mission. I'm betting the real introduction to the more complex plots will happen post Earth the same way it did in ME2 when meeting TIM and similar to ME1 before Eden Prime.
There's definitely a chance the Earth Mission is the only intro and we head directly to the next mission soon after, with the story being explained well or not so well over the course of the game.
Edit: It's also obvious they chose Earth/Sur'Kesh Missions because they are spoiler free mostly. Even then if you watch demo trailers from last years there's a lot missing from the second mission in terms of dialogue and events.

Taken on it's own, the Earth demo is not very good. I'm not even sure if anything can be done to fix that - whether it be exposition after Shepard boards the Normandy or when he's at the Citadel. Later exposition might clear up some confusion that occured during the escape from earth, but in terms of actually instilling any tension or drama into it, that won't happen. That has to happen during the intro itself.

That's a matter of subjective opinion though. A lot of people, including me, think the intro is good. But to each their own. Having reapers raining down all over the place should be tension enough in my opinion. Again, escaping earth seems to have more in common with the Normandy SR1 escape with an Eden Prime/Lazarus Station feel and mission added onto it.

They didn't even explore threads which were created without player input.
Arrival, which implied that Batarian space would be harvested first and made tensions between the Alliance and the Hedgemony high before the Reaper invasion, simply was transformed into an excuse to start Shepard off on Earth. It's importance was minimal, none of the threads created by it were explored and ME3 doesn't even deal with the Alliance leaving you to hang out and dry.
It was a seven dollar cash-in.

If the demo and leak are any indication, the actual depth of the setting/world and quality of writing have been going steadily down.
There's plenty of people who wont' care, as long as it's "cinematic" and there's lots of explosions and shotty bits. More power to them.
Me? To me a RPG is all about universe/setting/atmosphere....

Yeah, I have no interest in playing a substandard gears of war clone that STILL doesn't have blindfire.
