This needs to be said, so may people on these forums have taken these endings way too much to heart. Cheated? Betrayed? Depressed? People it's one game, and one franchise your whole life doesn't end because the ending don't live up to your expectations . No they weren't that great, but I have seen much worse endings to a franchise that were much worse.
Like everything else on the internet people have pulled their dissatisfaction to unreasonable levels. Get over it and move on.

Beat me to it.
I tried to beat you to the punch 
This is all coming from a guy who only has ME3 registered, Probably his only ME game. (Even more likely his only Bioware game)
It is just a game... Really
I have played all 3...
3rd > 1st > 2nd
Yeah- I get it, I know it's just a game, and part of me thinks "What the hell's wrong with me? Feeling so broken up over a GAME!" But really- I've spent five years of my life with these games, dipping in and out
of the ME universe when I needed a break from real life, or daydreaming
about what it might be like to actually BE a part of Shepard's crew, or
even Shepard herself. I loved this seires in the same way I loved LoTR growing up. I anticipated this game in the same breathless manner I await the next Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) novel, and now I feel like all the hundreds of hours I spent with it are worthless.
Someone else said it- and I'm stealing his words, but this explains it the best for me:
Aristotle's definition of a Tragedy is a work which arouses pity and
fear in the audience, resulting in catharsis. The problem with ME3's
ending was not watching people suffer, or face a terrible future. It was
that the ending offered no catharsis. There is no meaning to any of
what happened. Everybody's efforts amount to a futile gesture which
ruins billions of lives anyway. They have to die FOR something, or
BECAUSE of something meaningful. Here, they do neither.
