Really, a random tl:dr disgruntled/confused gamer's response to the ending and all the decsions that led up to this final game....

 I remember when I first booted up Mass Effect 1, I wasn't expecting myself to become so engrossed in it as I did. It was really a pleasant surprise that I liked something in this 7th generation of gaming. Fallout New Vegas for characters and story, Dragon age Origins and Awakening, Dark Souls simply for being able to create larger characters, and Skyrim for its imerssive world. 

~I'm getting off track. 

I don't understand how, even if you don't count the previous games, how a small 2-4 minute ending (after choosing one of 3.. "different flavors") warrants an ending to a galaxy wide war... I mean.. all the games.. even the iphone ones.. the books retribution, ascension etc.. the comics.. all that DLC, led up to this?

What was the point in everything I did in the previous games, or even in this one? Does everyone, no matter your EMS (I played strictly singleplayer since I started ME universe single player before trying multiplayer at all) rating get the same, Harbinger blasts you, and you stumble to the ray just like in ME1 (well not just like, you know what I mean)

So no matter any of your decisions you get to pick from 3 ahh... nevermind. The main game up to that point was intense and amazing gameplay wise, seeing Grunt come out alive, Wrex uniting the Krogan and Turian, shooting cans with Garrus, Tali getting drunk.. the bad a** standoff between you and the repear on the Quarian homeworld.

I'm really.. really.. going to assume the devs are messing around with us and will release free DLC showing it was all a dream or something. Seriously. 

"You cannot even comprehend blah blah" Whatever Sovereign said in Mass Effect 1. I was expecting something crazy. I'm really at a loss staring at my CE copy of Mass Effect 3.

Yeah - all the talk "its too complicated for you to understand" gets explained in 4 sentences by some VI who does this only to prevent a war between organics and synthetics....

A war that is not inevitable, and never was. You need to remember that.

I've come to the idea that bioware got lazy and went with the classic "a wizard did it" approach.

Did I really just waste 30 or whatever hours ?? After a bad day at work?? It's a video game.. I have to keep telling myself that.

I'm going to school to be a game designer, but most everything coming out now is just generalized or whatever.. The ending, the "skykid" really felt like a completely different game.

I mean, the stand off with Anderson and Illusive Man I was saying "wow, its crazy how crazy the ME universe has become, all up until this moment, all those side quest, and all to get to this critical point" and then the next 5 mins happen...

It's obvious I'm wrecked, as if I lost a loved one. I love video games and the worlds they put you in, it just feels like Bioware rushed it and didnt care at all. Not going to say its EA's fault. Bioware is EA now, its bleahh... its been what 5 years since ME1 came out now? And also since they gave us DA:O? and now both of them are just "bleagh" to me now??

ME3 was the final game I was going to out-right buy and play for a while, besides possibly Dragon's Dogma, before committing completely to my school degrees...

that last hurrahh...

maybe I just need to "grow up" I guess. Movies and books can move you, video games can as well I feel.... but when this kind of stuff happens... and then even the whole Prothean DLC, (I didnt play it until after I beat the game without the CE DLC to see if I felt ME3 was "substantial enough" without it), the Protheans are such a crucial part to the history/lore and storyline and blah blah of Mass Effect.. why make it a DLC?

I played all the ME2 DLC as well and I dont think DLC stuff should be canon.. dont know if its still in ME3 regardless if you didnt get Zaeed, Kasumi, Arrival etc.

I'm still rambling I guess

Yup, the little guy is trying to save us from being killed by machines by killing . . . us. . . with . . . machines? Wait WTF. Harbinger was right, I really don't understand.
