I just dont how this happened and how this was choosen as the way to end the game and trilogy.  Before ME2 I would have seen the ending of ME3 as somewhat acceptable, extremely sad but acceptable.  But actually the truimphs of ME2 actually ruin the entire series oddly enough.

In Mass Effect 2 we are the given an ending that is summation of everything that you have done up to that point.  Your ability to survive and to define the futures of each and every character is dependant on the chioces that you have made up to that point.  It gave every loyalty mission depth and meaning, it gave every morality chioce meaning.   The events may have always been the same but the personal tone and the investment in the characters that allied with you payed off.

ME3 is completely different in that nothing you have done in the entire series mattered.  There is no meaning to uniting the galaxy.  No matter what chioces you made you make it to the console you decide the fate of the universe.   And it does nothing to build on anything you have done previously.  The emotional investments that you have made in every story and character goes completely unfulfilled.

I could understand this being the case if they hadn't already succeeded, if they didnt have a model that they could have worked off of.  But they did have one.  How well you prepped the fleet should have mattered, who you took with you should have matter, the fate of every race should have mattered.  But it didnt.

It was such a good game and series up until the ending.  But that ending was such a massive failure that it has ruined my favorite series.

How did ME2 have a successful ending? It pretty much ended with "Get ready for a sequel, boys and girls!" That isn't an ending, it is a placeholder until the next game comes out.

ME3's ending is final, a mark that there will not be another one to follow.

Comparing them is not fair because they are fundamentally different.

...would have been nice to have a boss fight though, just saying.

EC added clarity, answered some of the unsanswered questions, and suggested that the choices that Sheppard made did in fact effect the rest of the galaxy.

You have to remember, ME2 didn't really have an ending, It was fair for the choices at the end to be wide and veried because they directly impacted the story of ME3. While your choices from ME1 and ME2 might not have had a huge impact on the end of ME3, they certainly had an impact on the rest of the game.

Really, only a handful of Sheppard's choices were ever big enough to have galactic segnificance. Most of them had little effect beyond Sheppard and his team. Sure the end of ME2 could have people die to never come back if you made bad choices during loyalty missions, but the galaxy as a whole doesn't care if Miranda died because you decided that the things Jack was saying made more sense when the two of them got into a fight.

The big choices come down to things like "Did you let the Rachnai Queen live", which while being a big choice for the galaxy, doesn't directly impact how the threat of the Reapers comes to an end.
