Ever since I got the game I can't stop thinking about the ending. Everyone says it's awful and it ruins the series. How can one cutscene be that bad? I'm almost done with the game and I'm starting to doubt bioware with all this talk.
Is the ending THAT bad? (no spoilers please)

From what I've seen, it's an incredibly unsatisfactory end to the series or any game for that matter.
It throws a curveball at you with a strange plot twist that seems highly out of place for the game, and disregards the choices you've made throughout the series.

how about not paying attention to the vocal minority ( <1%) and just play the game, and make own opinion.

Without spoilers, since i finished me3... i think the best solution for me is to deinstall every games i have, destroy them with fire, and never play any games again. Also prooves that whatever you do in life, doesn't even matter.

Xero through out the whole game i loved it, it was one of the greatest games iv ever played just. Even when i was still playing my first playthrough i was already thinking how great my second will be but when i did complete it i felt empty, I literaly sat there thinking to myself this cant be it...
I know not one person that enjoyed the ending (in real life) and i have plenty of friends who loved the mass effect series. I really wish they will do something about this.

I felt the same. I would have been ok with a text wall and video montage of what happened to each character we interacted with. I'm ok with the ending overall but to be left in the dark about all the choices made is the most dissapointing aspect I think.

Personally i loath the ending but in the end its how you personally find it that counts for you. If you like it, good for you. if not, join the so called vocal minority or the not so small nonvocal group that found/finds it a total joke.
BUT! At least play the game through. sure, there are some bugs, the journal is a total mess and some other problems but i found it hell of a ride and a very good game , barring the very cliche and lazy end (if it really is the end that is. Still not convinced it is).

I just got done with thessia. I keep hearing that it's more of a realistic ending not some fairy tale happy ending. I personally like realistic endings so we'll see how it goes (legion will be missed)

Agreed, if ME3 is the first ME game you've played your going love the game, ending included, but if you like me and played the ME and ME2 your going to fine the ending disappointing. Its not that the ending is bad in hows it put together or represented, it just feels alien (no pun intended).
People say that they want a brighter ending, which deep down i would like, but i wouldn't mind a darker ending either as long as it fits.
all in all the ending is a major twist and in a 3 part seires you cant have a major twist in the last 5 mins of play with no indication or evidence (ok, you get a hint from a reaper, a 2 word hint) of the plot heading in that direction.
Will this stop me playing the ME series? HELL NO! I've already got plan to go back on ME and start all over again!
i will be put off with the overall ending to the series, but im not letting 5 mins of game play ruin 125 hours.
I really do hope they bring out another DLC ending showing all the carnage brought to a end and how it effects the major characters:D

Loved ME1, loved ME2, disgusted by ME3. The game was awesome (not "ME1-awesome", but awesome nonetheless) right until the very ending. It destroyed everything in my opinion. If Bioware dosnt change it, I wont buy anything from them again (Yes, its actually THAT disapointing). As it is now, I regret ever having played the game to begin with (and considering how many hours of quality gaming I have enjoyed, thats saying something........).

Without spoilers of the actual content: Every personal decision you have ever made in the entire trilogy counts for nothing.
It's not "that bad", it's worse: Devoid of closure, empty of personal touches, fails to explain even it's own conclusions and, as it stands, is the end.

No - I liked it, as do most reviewers. Your decisions all play a role just not necessarily directly in the final cinematic - which makes sense.
Also, the ending is foreshadowed throughout the series - it was the direction BioWare wanted to go all along and I enjoyed it.

SPOILERS FOR M1 AND M2
I've been thinking. How is what they've done with ME3 different from the prequels? In both games that came before it did not matter what you chose during story since it still was the same but with a few minor cinematic editions. ME1 no matter what you did the humans still enter the council. ME2 Everyone dead is a secret ending which no one gets on their first playtrough. And a diference on who died is none existant since they simply were cut out of the cinematic. The plot holes about squadmates were also in both games. Samara, Thane, Zaeed and Kasumi were supoused to leave after the suicide mission yet they still onboard the ship without explanation if you continue playthrough.

That's a common misconception about ending-haters. We don't dislike the ending because it's realistic or non-Disney - we hate it exactly because it's NOT realistic and doesn't stay true to the core values and lore of the Mass Effect series. It feels forced and nonsensicle.

Alright I'm confused. Wouldn't the core values and lore state that everyone should be indoctrinated and for the cycle to continue?

Hi!
Just finished ME3 - and man what a letdown after a beautiful awesome spectacular game. Ending was just that bad. I mean it is literally 3 SLIGHTLY different endings. I cant get enough of ME universe and hope they make more games in it, but this ending is a real letdown.

No spoilers. I'm not buying the game - because I saw the ending somewhere else (I would not have watched but for the controversy).
It's not just the lack of variety or the tone - the quality is just *terrible*. It looks like half the intended scenes are missing. If it weren't for the length of the controversy I would have assumed it was a bug preventing scenes from showing.
Some people are upset about the tone/mood - and I get that, I would prefer that to be different but that alone would not be enough to keep me away.
It's just really sloppy.
In the interest of full disclosure, I had problems with the demo controls (mouse/keyboard) and dislike the intrusive EULA (was going to firewall the game from the rest of the system). So I wasn't 100% gung-ho to begin with.

It's one of those things that's fine to extremely casual players, but the more invested you are in the universe, the less satisfying it is.

Was the ending THAT bad?
If Doctor Who had appeared in the Tardis to tell us the Reapers were actually Darleks and the way to destroy them was to eat green jelly beans while burning copies of our game.
Less people would be complaining.
AND
It would actually be MORE consistant and logical with the ME universe lore.
