If you think so then go right ahead. I happen to have played all three...I have spent countless hours in it.
Well, then you wouldn't have a problem explaining why you think the ending was great. I'm interested. I'm sure most people are.
If you cannot answer that simple question, eiter point 1, point 2 or point 3 applies to you.
3. You actually didn't think it was all that great, but still believe in the immature delusion that disagreeing with the majority is a sign of intellectual superiority or you just like the sense of provocation by throwing oil to the fire.
The ending is great cause it dramatical brings an end to Shepards story. Her/his story ends with heroics and with meaning.
Only the childish believes that because their expectations were to high that a company needs to change their product to meet it......
Dude you realize that is the whole idea being Consumerism and Capitolism right? If a product is not liked by the consumer then the manufacturer needs to make changes or adaptations to bring that consumer back into the fold. The biggest issue here is people are looking at this purely from an artistic perspective. While that is a true and necessary perspective, the fact that it is a product that is meant to entertain its audience. People seem to forget that we PAID for this because we wanted to enjoy it. We were told that this would be the epic conclusion to the series, or at least Shepard's story. It met that criteria and nothing else. It was of epic proportions because the endings were horrific IN UNIVERSE as well as out of it.
There is a term known as inferred Holocuast. This term is in reference to when a form of fiction ends in such a way that the events after would have led to even worse suffering and death. When this is applied the story ends on the supposed high note just before the fall and refuses to acknowledge the fall. This ending meets this even if you ignore the fact that in Arrival we discovered that an exploding relay would wipe out an entire system.
A. The citadel collapses on to Earth. Each section of the citadel is larger than the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs and sent us into the Ice Age.
B. Krogan females were not with the forces that charged Earth. This means that the krogan population is static here and will only go down not up, despite the fact they can live for 1000 years. Another thing to consider is that only Wrex was successful in truly bringing the clans together. This means that on Tuchanka they are likely to go back to warring, especially now that they can reproduce like rabbits again.
C. The entire quarian flotilla is now trapped in the Sol system. They are dextro lifeforms and thus unable to eat food that other races besides the turians can consume. A vast majority of the turians are trapped there too. This means that even if the liveships can produce enough dextro food for the quarians they would need to share excess rations with the turians. However, it has been said before that quarians barely have enough rations for themselves in most cases.
D. Assuming none of the above is of any consequence, you now have more or less all the major surviving numbers of each race concentrated in the Sol system unable to leave. It has been established in Mass Effect that due to the sheer size that Humanity has grown to that resulted in them having to spread beyond Earth. This means that there were few resources for one race much less 12+.
F. The supposed 'good' ending is destroy which destroys all synthetics. The star child even points out things like implants fall into this category. Despite recently learning the geth are just victims and have just gained sentience they get wiped out. EDI gets wiped out. Anyone with a pacemaker will immediately suffer massive cardiac arrest and most likely die due to being unable to have their pacemaker repaired. This also means the quarians and volus would most likely succumb too due to having their life support systems no longer function. (This is debatable due to the fact that they aren't implants, but seeing as the beam doesn't discriminate between Reapers and anything else it is likely.)
There are plenty of other issues, including the entire Gilligan's Planet scenario, however I don't have enough time to continue typing them all. If you ask me, the supposed 'heroics' that you claim Shepard's story ends with simply aren't there. The fact remains that choosing any ending results in great amounts of death. Prryhic victory is not heroism. If you view it as such more power to you. Just don't lead any troops into battle or make any decisions that affect the rest of us.
TL;DR Towards quote: yeah...no.
