Like many here, I am bitterly disappointed with the endings. That said, everything up to the last 10 minutes is fantastic. Yes, the interactive dialogue is toned down. In it's place we got to see a ton of smaller interactions between shep and the crew, as well as the crew with each other.

I'm a 31 year old guy, and I can admit I got a lump in my throat when Mordin died. I cheered when Thane went after Leng, knowing he probably wouldnt survive. I recoiled at just how far Cerberus was willing to go. 

The combat was fast paced and intense.

I thoroughly enjoyed the roller coaster. I just wish it had stayed on the track at the very end.

I'm not posting this to be an apologist, or be a fan boy. The endings do suck. Even if they chose not to give a happily ever after ending, the ones we were given aren't executed well at all.

I guess I just don't want the good parts to get lost in all this uproar over the end. ME3 did many, many things right. It made me care, and that's more than I can say for most media (books, movies, TV included).

The game is awesome.
The Ending of the Game is the total Opposite, a disappointment and a letdown.

And because it was such a let down to a series that received so much hype, so many promises, so much glorified expectation, it didn't even get higher than the minimum length of acceptance.

The ending is simply: NOT ACCEPTABLE.
If Bioware can't create terrifically good games with equally good endings, they shouldn't be so ambitious and span games over several discs, as all it will do is cause heartbreak.

The game is awesome though.

Agreed. I was very immersed in the game, even at the end. The end didn't make sense but the thought process going through my head during the act of choosing did something for me. Knowing already that there was an ending that would let Shepard live, but knowing that in my personal canon it would be against her principles lead to some pretty amazing feelings. But then that was only possible with spoilers so.

But overall the game was really good, I blew through it faster than I intended because it was like a good book you just can't put down.

[Luigitornado]

I love the game....I'm fighting with myself about a second play through right now.

[robarcool]

Endings sucked. I have completed my first playthrough with a galaxy readiness rating of 73% and effect military strength of 3400+. Got merge and control with shepard dying.

Oh the game was ok, but I suppose I wasn't paying some attention so certain things made no possible sense.

Like Cerberus for example. I never questioned any of their motives, but their capabilities went completely Flip-ass on me.

In ME1 and 2 I thought they were a secretive sect of human "extremists". Nothing in one or two was really all that radical in retrospect. I thought Cerberus was a threat but only as a harassment and terrorist force. Then ME3 rolls around and these mother****ers are invading entire planets filled with millions. Or at least, I thought they were from what the dialogue lines were implying. I'm still wondering how they assaulted the citadel without dreadnoughts or an entire fleet. Surely someone had to notice the literal army of these guys that would have to arrive 'secretly' with all their military equipment and Atlas suits.

Edit: I mean someone must have an answer here. I must've been blind not to notice a new entry in the codex or didn't search for a journal or something.

Genophage Cure and Geth/Quarian resolution define the game for me. I can pretend like nothing else happened and think up my own story from that point forward.

I also cannot bring myself to play through again. I started, but just went back to ME2.

Not really. I never got the impression they were assaulting planets. And as far as the Citadel, it probably made it easier to get it going when you have a traitor Councilor on your side to assist the inflitration. (give clearances etc)

[malkuth74]

I mist say the ending did not make any sense to me
. It was all good up to the point where for some strange reason the normandy is traveling on a mass effect and gets stranded. When only 20 mins ago everyone was with me in London fighting.

And the fact that no matter what you choose the same thing happens only a different color.

Oh well though not much can do.

[ShadyKat]

Imo, ME3 was easily the best game of the series. Yeah the endings were very lackluster, but it still didn't ruin the game for me.

Benning is what I should have said. My head was spinning in circles there. Was Cerberus actually occupying a planet there? Were they just using death squads on civilians? If there were death squads, what idiot wouldn't have a local militia force dying to protect them. And if the force was completely wiped out, where were the bodies? Was this just an invasion?

And about the Citadel, Cerberus hasn't been the epitome of infiltration when it comes to their grunts. The guys wear stark-white armor with the Cerberus emblem visible. I'm wondering more about how those baddies got on the Citadel. Well, were they attacking the entire Citadel or just the Presidium?

Edit: I ain't kidding you man, I feel like none of this was clearly explained. I was left to mostly imply or go by the stand-in "Udina did it, if only Anderson had stayed on the Council!"

 I think the flooding of the board (and other sites) complaining about the ending underscores how good the game actually was. 

Up until the last 5 minutes of the game, I was shocked at how good the game was (and I came in with high expectations). Really, up until the last 5 minutes, I think it was one of the best written games I've ever played. 

Which is probably why people are screaming so loudly. It's like the rug in the Big Lebowski, a proper ending just really tied the room together...and they went and soiled all over it. 

[Kenthen]

I feel it's a pointless sidenote to point out that the game was otherwise alright if not for the ending. There's a lot of parts I liked but the ending still soured the entire series for me and I don't want to play the game again, in fact I never even got to the credits before I turned the game off for the last time.
That's not an incredible game at all.

Of course, you might put less weight into how the last game in a trilogy ends than I do and that's fine.

ME3 would have been my favorite game ever, but the ending tainted the whole series for me. Effectively killed the whole series for me. Bioware broke my heart

[yoshibb]

The ending is an insult to how awesome the game is. Right until the platform rose up to the guardian, it was the best game I have ever played.

[shnellegaming]

I totally agree that the rest of the game was so stellar. It shows how hard everyone worked on it and how a stupendous job everyone did. Its just really hard to try and play it (or ME1 or 2) again after you have experienced it. In a way the rest of the game being SOOOO good is what makes the endings even worse.  You crash and burn from a very great height.  I know I'll never finish ME3 again.

No, it's not incredible. It's okay, but not incredible.

#1: Why do we get to fight that WoW-bloodelf rogue cerberus anime-assasin instead of Harbinger? Harbinger was your main enemy in ME2, yet you can't deal with him, unlike sovereign. People who didn't read the comics/books don't care about that Kai Leng guy anyway. The fights whith him are quite boring and stupid, too.

#2 That Quarian retard, who opened fire on the Geth dreadnought while Shepard was inside. All I can do is kick him, really?

#3 I had Prothy the Prothean with me when we charged and got obliterated by the Reaper lazor. Why is he climbing out of the Normandy when they crash on that planet? Why can't I find out what happened to my teammates, who charged with me? Yeah, they probably died, but come on, I don't even get to say something to them? I wanted Garrus to come with me and save the day, like we did before in all the previous ME titles. Instead, I get Anderson. /sadface

#4 I made piece with the Geth, EDI is not a threat. The Reapers are. The Catalyst's singularity-argument is retarded. Why do my choices have no impact on the ending?

#5 Why does the Normandy survive/crash on a strange planet?

#6 Why are there so little paragon/renegade mouseclick-options during cutscene talk?

[Storenumber9]

That's why people are so worked up about the endings.

The game its self, is good.

[Elenterx]

If the game had a good or even mediocre ending it would have been on the same level as Ocarina of Time in my book.

But nope, I can't even think about how good it was because of the ending.

[Trishot]

But you see, for some people it does. I also had a awesome time playing it. But a huge part of the Mass Effect charm where the choices and the effect they had. Having no effect at all declines my replay value of the game. Good as it may be.

[Cosmar]

OP, I agree! The game was incredible, definitely one of my best gaming experiences ever, and the only one that ever moved me enough to literally make me laugh out loud or shed a tear. But as others said, having the ending basically feel like all my previous choices and all the previous events were invalid, really crushed my spirit. Don't get me wrong, I WANT to WANT to play the games again, but it will take a while before I can, because the ending just shot down all my hopes and dreams for the trilogy.

[seirhart]

for me I the game play was awesome and I liked the endings, the first time I beat the game I chose control now doing new game plus and I have an adept and infiltrator ready to go when i'm done with new game plus.

[Atraiyu Wrynn]

You can't make the statement that it's great aside from the ending.  They can't be seperated. 
My vacation was great aside from when I got shot and spent a week in the hospital!

[Mr. Big Pimpin]

The rest of the game being so good is what makes most of us so upset about the ending.

I have to say I agree with these points.

Someone already posted this but with the Catalyst's argument, why didn't we get an interrupt? Why couldn't we yank the bastard up and say "Bull****, look out there. Geth and Qurians are fighting together. Look at Joker and EDI. Maybe it will last, maybe it won't. But who the **** are you to say it isn't worth trying?"
