Loved:
- The fact that there were no happy endings, sacrifice and victory at any cost were major themes in this game so it would have been quite the copout if the devs made a happy ever after ending. Everyone's had to make a major sacrifice during the course of the war and Shepard is no exception to the rule. 
- Each of the endings would have a profound effect on the universe and the relationship between synthetic and organic beings. This really ties in nicely with the key events of the game which center heavily on the nature of true artificial intelligence (EDI, Legion and the upgraded Geth) and whether the appropriate response of organics should be control (the illusive man), harmony (peace between the geth and quarians) or destruction (the universe against the reapers). The fact that the choices are made harder because of the emotional investment in your characters his/her relationships is just icing on the cake. Want to destroy the reapers because its what you set out to do and would give your shepard the best chance of survival? Go ahead but keep in the mind that this effectively leads to the death of EDI and the Geth, synthetic beings that only recently gained their true sense of self who have contributed to your war effort? Can you easily through away your relationship with EDI, her potential life with Joker, and Legion's sacrifice for the sake of the Geth's freedom just so you could survive? Is that the appropriate thing that commander Shepard would do? I love that each of the endings forced me to think about this.

Hated:
- There is no real closure, what happens to the remnants of the alliance fleet? What about the individual races? What will the galaxy do in the wake of the destruction of the mass relays? Is there enough left of the galactic civilizations to rebuild the systems? The current ending leaves more questions than answers which is sort of disappointing since this is supposed to be the end of the series, yet I still have no real sense on the exact fate of the universe. I'm not even mad that the Mass Relays are gone, but I want to know what the various civilizations will do in the wake of their destruction.
-The scene of the joker trying to outrun the mass relay and landing on a unknonwn planet completely disjoints the experience and seems like something that should have been mercifully cut out (I would honestly have been happier if all we got were the cinematics before this cut scene and nothing more). Despite the glaring plotholes (Why is he in a relay? why are your squadmates on the ships? ) it answers no real questions. This seems like a scene that would designed for another set of endings and forced into the existing spectrum of outcomes for no real reason.
