Liked some parts of the endings:
-Bittersweet ending
-Using the Reapers' own technology against them
-Anderson's final moments
-Controlling an almost broken Shepard
-The music - some of the best in the trilogy imo
Disliked the actual execution of the endings:
-Catalyst child
-Normandy crash
-Plotholes galore
-Reapers' motivation was... disappointing
-Choices in ME1 and ME2 affected ME3's story, but ME3 choices have no payoff

26. you'd have to be REALLY young (i.e. too young for the ME series) and/or developmentally impaired to find a modicum of enjoyment from the ending.
Idiotic comment, I am 25, a 4.0 engineering student at a prestigious college, and I loved the ending. Some people like to dig plot holes out of anything, even though every peice of fiction has them in droves if you want to look for them. So, your comment is baseless and I'd say fairly ironic.

I agree with all of this, in particular the fact that the choices in ME3, while contributing to EMS, had no satisfactory payoff. I know many have mentioned this before, but I was really hoping and expecting to see my War Assets in action...I was actually expecting to deploy them myself, similar to choosing squad leaders, infiltrators, etc., in the climax of ME2.

The ending from a narrative standpoint is awfully constructed, and from a gameplay standpoint is just plain awful.

Yeah, but you're an engineer. You can just look at the bottom of a plot for its serial code and check out it's particulars in a Big Big of Plots.

Seems that the like or dislike of the ending does not correlate well with age.
I'd like to point out that I don't question the intellect or integrity or even viability to remain living of anyone who disagrees with me.
One issue ME3 has is that it must compete with ME2's ending in which every decision in the game made a difference in how it worked out at the end. I found the terminator silly but could over look it. I was impressed with how what we decided to upgrade on our ship and if we helped out our crew mates and even knew their strengths could make the end portion vary.
Sure, in the end you have an ending that can be imported into ME3 or one that can't, but there was variation dependent on your actions within the game.

I really liked the ending. Woulda been cool to get a full epilogue, but I'm fine without it.

Yeah, I have heard them all, Physics majors just love to pounce all over us. As much as I love Physics, it's too bad a lot of what they do is theoretical and will rarely ever be applied. Regardless, the ending isn't nearly as bad as a lot of people are saying. There is a lot to like about them, especially for someone who can see the sacrifices that it would take in order to prevent galactic extinction every 50,000 years. I guess, I am confused about what people were expecting? So many people say they wanted an ending where they would just battle the Reapers conventionally and defeat them, and that not having this option is inconsistent with the series. I however, think that fighting the Reapers conventionally would be inconsistent with the series, the series has always driven the point home that defeating the Reapers would be about survival and not about winning. Defeating the Reapers conventionally would defeat the point of absolute survival. I guess, I just have a hard time reading all these posts from people saying everything about the ending was inconsistent, I see it the complete opposite.

BW forgot that we don't care about the galaxy at all, we care about Shepard and crew. People who lose everything have nothing to live for, in this game, we lose everything and gain nothing. No reason to play it again, unless you're a masochist or not an RPG fan.
