At least after the battle with Smith; it' just a lackluster ending. "The Reapers are stopped! Horray! The end." Right down to some characters staring into the horizon of a rising sun. The problem with the endings (aside from sever lack of difference in scences among all them) is there isn't anything to show the friuts of your labor and sturggles after the battle of the Reapers; no showing of the races you brought (or didn't) together working to rebuild their shattered galaxy. No indication of any of your past major decidsions having a lasting effect. My main beef with the endings is what we get shown and not the outcomes [though an outcome where Shepard lives at some high cost (destruction of earth, lost of a lot of lives and/or squadmates maybe?) would have been nice]; it just seems like we deserve more than what we got after putting in time and support into this epic story.

Also, everyone seems to thing that the Crucible is deus ex machina which I would have to disagree; the Catalyst (Child) was the deus ex machina in my opinion. I feel that the writers ran out of creativey on how to present the final choices in the game to have to resort to an overused plot device. "God" Themself might as well have come out of the woodwork and offered Shepard three possible solutions.

I just wonder if this ending was meant to get us all fired up so they could put out some DLC or maybe even an expansion pack for us to eat up (I, for one, probably would). I wonder if I should be hoping or dreading that.

Mass Effect is pretty much Battlestar Galactica (The Cycle, the Flotilla, Pressly, among others) meets Star Wars (the tone and feel of a lot of the universe) meets The Matrix (the final hope, the Crucible, being another layer of control). But if you're going to borrow science fiction, those are some pretty sweet sources.

comparing the end of ME3 to the end of the matrix, the matrix would get a 5. ( IMHO )

 It actually did remind me of The Matrix Revolutions quite a bit actually. I think they got inspiration from it.

NO. No its not.

They have a green pill.

I thought of the Matrix only because of the game "The Path of Neo". If you've played it you'll recall the ending when the Wachowskis tell you about how they changed the ending for the game because "they" think the whole martyr thing is kinda lame in videogames.

I can't help but feel that makes a bit of sense though, considering the reactions here. Forced martyrdom just feels like the writer killing the character whereas in, say DA:O you can actually choose it.
Not to say that the only gripes people have are with the sacrifice, there's lots of other reasons too.

At the very least, I wish they would have done something like Fallout New Vegas where the different races and people say what the outcome of their people was or their personal outcome.
