Endings aside, the game is incredible. That shouldn't get lost in all this

Except for the endings.
I loved most everything else.

I was like - yeah I'll gather all the fleets and ground forces and then we kick some reaper ass and everyone lives happy - peace between geth and quarians, I live with Liara, visit my statue on Citadel, visit Wrex and his new kid, watch all planets rebuilt and everyone all happy etc.
But then someone thought it would be fun to give same ending despite your choices. Hell even Deus Ex ending choices were much better.
Why can't you give a simple choice - JUST reapers die and that crazy VI/Citadel catalyst. Mass Relays are intact, galactic peace and happiness. Keep the other choices, but LET ME HAVE JUST ONE GOOD ENDING!

As for everything leading up to that point, though, this is easily the best game I've ever played. I've never felt such a strong emotional impact (on all ends of the spectrum) with any other game, and only a very, very few books and movies have been able to achieve what Mass Effect 3 did with me. I'll be the first to admit it - I actually had to force myself not to cry when both Mordin and Thane died. And honestly the only reason I stopped myself was because a couple of my friends were around. Now that would have been embarassing.

I totally agree. In fact, I would easily have given this game a perfect score if not for the endings. In my opinion it was far and away the best of the triliogy up until the point where I met the Guardian. I...can honestly say I don't think I've ever had an ending kill the mood quite like this one did for me. Hopefully BioWare listens to its fans and goes the Fallout 3 route with end-changing DLC. I'd totally pay for it, too.

Thane death was so perfect so fitting he got the last battle he wanted and the "Biotic **** Slap" is one of the greatest moments... they one that got me was Legion.
"They need me.." then he falls to the grounds as the sun rise after Shepard pulls the greatest. " I have enough of this BS." ever. All the awesome just goes down the drain because some writer thinks that "True Art is Angsty" nonsense...
Not enough tables to flip.
*flips Table*

Thane's death was probably one of the best moments in ME3. He was my favorite NPC (next to Garrus) and knowing his death was inevitable due to disease, I couldn't think of a better way for him to go out. The prayer at the end was just the icing on the cake for the entire thing.
This game was so well-written, until the end.

first 99.5% = GREATEST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED.
bioware should be commended for that.
I still feel empty though.

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?
#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?
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?"
which is why i said it was great up until the endings. there are other places to discuss that particluar disappointment

They can try to say its the journey not the destination all they want, but if you do it badly enough, the destination can indeed invalidate every scrap of goodwill that the journey built up.

Man I would be hogging my TV right now and playing my Femshep and having her get own unque endings. Instead I letthing my little cousins play fighting games... I don't even want touch this game right now. dispite the greatness of the 99% of the game.
It bothers me so much because I have always loved the endings of trilogy where get to see all the plot threads coming to ending it ties all together..

Sadly, the ending does kill all that. Those choices you were making? Meaningless. All the effort? Meaningless.
The endings render everything Shep has done meaningless. Everything we have worked for. Because no matter what nothing changes. Except the color of the light.

I spent the whole damn game building an army for the final assault. I expected to assault the Cerberus base and kill the Illusive Man. I expected to lead my forces against the Reapers for one final, glorious battle in which we defeat them (or not, as an alternate ending might result in) and witness an epilogue in which we see the consequences of all of our choices throughout the series.
A simple DA:O-style ending would have more than sufficed, really.
But instead I get this retarded, overwrought "Catalyst" garbage that renders the entire plot useless. It pretty much kills not only ME3, but ME1 and 2 as well.
Not only that, but nothing I did in either of the first two games makes any real difference other than whether I destroyed the Collector Base or not. Everything else just results in emails and cameos.
BW screwed this up, period - and the entire series suffers as a result. Forget the autodialogue or any of the other BS people were spewing for the last year - the ending is what killed it. Nothing more, nothing less.

I believe its the quality of the game that has made people as angry as they are about the endings. Its almost baffling how the rest of the game could be so good, but the ending so incoherent and lacking of everything.
Almost baffling? I literally just sat there in complete disbelief after I met the StarChild. I even got a game over because I took so long the "Crucible was destroyed".
