I understand that you guys could see how your vision looked because you created the game. In making a long connected series game you have to look at it from a player that never played the game would. Ending like ME2 or ME1 was great because it worked. Five things make an Ending the prefect fusion with a story.

1. The ending has to be relavent to the story.
(Clearly Normandy in the FTL travel was not because Crew members and Joker who stated till the End ran away.)
2, The ending has to have to have an end.
(Shepard breathing was a since of hope that the game did not end)
3. A confrontation between the two Nemisis in the game.
(ME1 had it and ME2 somewhat had it. TIM was not the real Nemisis the Reapers (Harbinger) was. No the end was not long want closure.)
Yes, this is usally a boss fight. We want the ability to prove we are better than our enemy.
4. A Good vs Evil choice conflict in the end.
(All the paths in the game lead to destroying the Reapers. This could be done like did with Bioshock)
The Paragon side or Renagade side of destroying the Reapers never experienced.
5. Ending Cut Scene must mesh to tell a story not Cut from here then cut from there.
(If everyone of your members of your team rushed to gate with you show them)

Lets Compare
ME1 - Boss fight Saren/Sovereign - Cut scenes matched what was happening
ME2 - Boss Fight Human Reaper - Cut scenes matched what was happening
ME3 - We choose one of three colors - Cut scenes were all the same (Exept if Earth is destroyed) then a small change to surface - Then a Cut scene to Joker runaway from the fight FTL? - Crashing with out any crash marks on a planet and "Dead crew members" that rushed the gate with you came out of the Normandy. This is why we thought it was a dream/Indoc.

Example how this could have ended and we would have been happy.
After we united the fleets (IE built the Crucible) and Stop Illusive man. We open the Shields and Cruicible sit a massive surge kill all the The Reapers and Shepard Dying next to Anderson knowing his Job is done.
Cut Scenes to all the Heroes you met that got you to this point.

Please reply if you think these are the things they need to convey a complete ending.
