The entire game was the end of the story, not just the last 5 minutes.
Changing where the ending starts does not change the fact that the last 20 minutes or so of the game were poorly executed.
20 minutes? I'm assuming you're talking about when you meet Catalyst? That was only like 5 minutes of dialogue, and then a 3 minute cutscene. And that still doens't mean that Mass Effect 3 as a WHOLE was not the end of the story. Throughout the game we were given resolution to every MAJOR and MINOR conflict that arose for out character since ME1. Just because you didn't like the Catalyst part or the three last choices in the end does not mean that your choices NEVER counted.
How many choices were you given at the end (last five minutes) of Mass Effect 2?
I am actually talking about the point from Shepard recovering from the blast, while not as poorly done as the Catalyst, it was still off. After all, this is where the plot holes start.
I never said Mass Effect 3 isn;t the end of the story, it's pretty obvious it is with it being the last of the trilogy, but that doesn't mean that because it's the end of the story, that the actual ending of the game isn't the end, but the whole game was.
You're right though that we made major and minor conflicts conclude, and that was the great thing about everything before Shepard getting blasted, everything you did mattered, and right after that it doesn't.
And my choices at the end of ME2? Point of that is, everything you did in ME2 lead up to that ending, everything you did, decided if your squad would live or die, if your Shepard would live or die, if the Normandy was ready to go trough. And then there is the destroy or keep the Collector's base option, that's the end. Right after you escaped the explosion, there is the epilogue of you telling the Illusive man to ****** off and then have a scene of the Reapers coming. Also something this game missed, an epilogue.
But as you can see, it also missed taking in your actions troughout the game, unlike ME2. Oh and ofcourse ME2 was a lead up to ME3, Me3 was supposed to conclude it all.
