One of the better posts, because it feels... genuine. It represents everyone a lot more than some of the other write ups. But the only critique I have (and this kind of contradicts what I just said) - OP could have done a better job explaining why the ending shat on everyone. Why it single handedl, one by one, dismantled everything she loved about the universe, and the story.
I mean, I think it's important we know why the ending is so bad, instead of "it sucks". The DEVS need to know. Beause believe me, they will try to spin this as: oh, well she just didn't get our vision. So we'll release some DLC to clear up our genius ending, and then she will understand where we were coming from.
But yeah, the post really captures the emotions many of us feel.
I'd need about three epic rants to nail down everything wrong with the endings. I tried to summarize the general "what's wrong with it" here, but yeah, I see your point.
HERE'S A LIST FOR FUNZIES:
1. Kid was stupid. Dreams of kid were stupid. Having final opponent appear as kid was mega stupid. Those dreams should have been scrapped, or about fallen comrades or something. The final confrontation should have been with Harbinger.
2. That Stargazer scene was kind of tacky and did not need to be there. That advertisement for DLC sure didn't help, either.
3. Squadmates/Normandy, what the hell are you guys doing? Weren't you fighting on Earth? How did you get way over there? What's the point of crashing you guys on some random jungle planet? Why did none of you say anything?
4. After the Suicide Mission, I was expecting to see some SERIOUS variation in the final battle due to in-game choices I'd made. Where were the fleets and troops I'd rallied? Why didn't I get to use those war assets? How come my squaddies and I didn't get to do anything cool? THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUICIDE MISSION TIMES ONE THOUSAND BUT LOL NOPE.
5. Conversation with the Catalyst was too short. Shepard should have called him out on his BS, asked tougher questions, et cetera.
6. So, what happened to all that foreshadowing about dark energy and genetic diversity, hmmmm?
7. Do not rip off Deus Ex. However, if you absolutely must rip off Deus Ex, make sure it actually fits the themes presented in your creative work, and make sure it doesn't LOL SPACE MAGIC.
8. SYNTHETICS AND ORGANICS CANNOT COEXIST? WHAT? CATALYST, HAVE YOU BEEN PAYING ANY ATTENTION WHATSOEVER? GETH? EDI?
HELLOOOOO?!9. Why do the Relays go kaboom? I mean, it's an interesting concept and makes speculating about the future kind of fun, and I get the need for the galaxy to purge itself of Reaper influence, but dude. DUDE. No Relays? SUCKS. Tali's never seeing her homeworld again. Garrus is never seeing his family. Wrex is never going back to his people. The turians and quarians are going to starve. The Normandy crew is stranded. Oh, and let's not forget what happens when Relays EXPLODE, okay? Arrival? Supernovas? Worst of all, the Citadel had tons and tons of people living on it, so when it explodes... you get the idea.
10. Ending cutscenes were too similar. The differences between what each of Shepard's choices does are huge. We should see that, and we should see how it affects everyone, not just the ruins of London.
11. Little bits of closure sprinkled throughout the game is pretty cool, but that doesn't mean you get to skimp out at the big lump that should come at the end.
12. Dude, where's my boss fight?
