At my first playthrough I got "green" ending and thought I messed up with collecting war assets (since I missed "cerberus ciphers" and "jamming tower"), and because I didn't touch multiplayer - thus the "bad" ending. So for the next playthrough I got galactic readiness to 95%, collected every single war asset, got my EMS to over 6000 - sat back in my chair and prepared to witness a "perfect" ending. Oh, disappointment...

My favorite moments:
Curing the genophage.
Ending the geth/quarian war.
Canrad's attempted self-sacrifice.
When the fleets arrived to save earth. So many prideful man tears...
P.S. Finding the space hamster.

Here's some off the top of my head
- Curing the Genophage
- Legion's sacrifice
- Anything with Liara in it
- Grunt doing his thing
- Jen Hale's VA at the end was amazing. The only reason I'll replay the ending XD

As for favorite parts: Liara time capsule, Blasto, "there's a Reaper in my way Wrex!", Mordin death scene, Thane death scene (both were well done. Kudos to the writing team), Thresher vs Reaper.
Edit: also Conrad and Jenna

Ending your post with a "What was your favorite moment?" Very skillful, and to be expected, but still.
I'm glad you're listening. I do believe you are. However, it's really about time to move on to answering. Japanese gamers are already finishing it (!!) and expressing many of the same sentiments we are.
I understand you may be holding out hope that as more folks play, it will turn out the dissatisfaction is a minority. Doesn't look like that's realistic. Aside from that... really, this is the Spoilers section. I don't get why you can't answer anything until more people finish? It's not like all spoilers are already available for anyone who looks for them, and anyone who doesn't want spoilers can already avoid them? So why the need to wait an arbitrary time to allow for "more people to complete?" /scratchhead
As stated by others - 99% of the game I loved. That made the last ten minutes SO much harder to bear. I loved a lot of the self-awareness shown in reference to the earlier games ("Oh, and I'm sorry if I accused you of waving a gun in my face when you didn't actually do that. I was really stressed out!"). Tali's Emergency Induction Port. Really, there was nothing I didn't like.... until the end.
My War Assets being nothing but numbers. I got really excited when you start to see some evidence of it mattering... the Quarians and the Geth captains, the Asari dreadnaughts coming in alongside the Turians and Asari... i thought I'd get to see the results of all that effort, but no. It just stops.
Final convos with absent squad members being nothing but holocalls. Reminded me too painfully of KOTOR 2's nonending where Treia just stands there and gives you walls of text for "Whatever happened to...?" for each character. >.<
My favorite moments are part of the disappointment of the ending. None of them matter. It seems like you can go ahead and put in the minimum effort, minimum time into the game, and still get the same results. It's your own fault for setting standards so high; for giving us so many amazing moments. We want them to mean something. We want them to matter, as it always has before, as you said they would.
Mostly, though, I think you're up to something. But the way it's being done is just awful. Too many coy tweets, too much being impressed with your clever trick you've committed to and not enough putting yourself in the players' shoes. It's hard for me to conceive how such a great company with such great creative powers, with so many loyal customers, could totally misread us all on this one.
Maybe some of you spoke up as this plan came together, and were overridden. Maybe many of you did; maybe the forum rules were tightened up right before release by smart folks who foresaw this storm. Maybe you're in the understandable position of wishing you could tell us, yes, this was a mistake and we're sorry, but you're good employees and won't contradict the official line until you're allowed to. Maybe Bioware will put this all right.
But you've broken my trust with this weirdness, and I have been a loyal customer - not a "fan." I don't want to, but I respect myself and the value of my own hard work too much to roll over on this. I will very sadly have to withhold my business if this continues to go badly. I will happily forgive and tentatively extend trust again if you can make it right, and tell us you'll never pull a stunt like this again. It's not worth it. I know EA is in love with the idea of hostage-holding DLC, and DLC is here to stay - but the envelope has been pushed too far, too fast. Pull back a little and restore our trust. Please.

This game is everything I had hoped for and I loved every single minute of it. There are so many scenes which are awesome etc.. it's hard to pick a favourite.
Mass Effect3 is an incredible game and the dev's etc have outdone themselves.
But.. that only lasted until I reached the end. It makes no sense. I file it away as a bad dream and head canon something else instead
addendum: I'm a sucker for happy ends

I've loved the entire series since day 1 of Mass Effect releas. Bought an Xbox just to play mass effect.
ME 3 was gorgeous and lived up to nearly all my expectations. Liara romance resolution was satisfying, crew interaction was well done, the deaths were hard but not trivial etc.
Loved all of it except the end but I'm hanging on to my saved games because I'm convinced you guys are up to something.
Same Here at all Level after all.
All the game was epic, taking outside the end.

Difficult to choose. The scene in which Grunt stays to give you time escape was so emotional. You really made me believe it was a goodbye, I almost drop a tear (didn't have time since he came back quickly). The end of the Ardat-Yakshi quest was amazing too. Very well written. I liked how you pushed the line in order to make us have that real feel of desesperation. The way Rila and Falere could not even had a farewell, the way Shepard takes and unwlling Falere; and how Samara later collapses and realises she cannot follow her code anymore and avoids to kill her remaining daughter by trying to commit suicide. It was just perfect. It made me feel bad, I was sad, anxious and in that moment I started thinking there could not even be hope afterall. This kind of scenes have seen a lot of improvement in writing, but in photography and music too.
I could keep talking abut more scenes and things I liked, like romances, which for the first time I could really empathize with. They were more human and that's what Mass Effect 3 is about, being human; no matter the characters were alien or not; there is ahuge sense of humanity.

The problem is, the end completely destroy all of that. Can you really restart a new game and tell Liara on Mars that you fight because you believe in it?
ME3 IS a good game no doubt about it, just finishing on a really bad note.

That being said, there were a huge amount of moments that did great service to almost all of your squad mates. Its too hard to choose. I would say Mordins death or what Wrex says to you after helping cure the Genophage. I am currently watching my wife play through it. She should get to Mordins death. Curious if she is going to cry or not.

Mordin's final moments were pretty damn close, but Legion...well...damn...
...
...
As for the ending, I'm less concerned with the ending(if it is the ending).
I mean, it wasn't the best(in my opinion), but I can live with it.
What bothers me, really. is the absence of an epilogue.
Ending/Epilogue aside though, Mass Effect 3 was the most emotional part of the journey, and I have to say, my favourite game of the series.

All of it so epic, so poignant. So amazingly perfect.
And then.... the end. I was heartbroken. Not because Shepard "died". Not because Anderson died (which also made me tear up). But everything after the elevator. The space magic - the inability to refuse to accept the starkids explanations and choices.
So frustrating. So illogical. So... deviant from everything that came before, everything that was core to my experience as Shepard.
I feel betrayed, lost, hurt. Depressed. The ending turned what was an amazing, bittersweet yet enjoyable experience into a depressing, sad, muddle of confusion.
