I don't know about the rest of you but as this ending thing has dragged on I have come to realise not just the end of the game was the bad part.
Things like wrapping up plot points over twitter, fetch quests, filler quests with a reward of an email, limited personal quests, blatant plotholes, poor characterisation, wasted potential like the Rachni quest, forced decisions again like the Rachni appearing even if you kill them.
The only consistent thing which was good imo was the combat which by the end got old because they threw the same enemies at you in the same way...
Make no mistake though I realise best chance everyone has is getting an ending change but the rest of the game is far from perfect.
It wasn't just the ending which was awful

I don't like the 180 Legion took. However, it was only his philosophy that changed. His personality was still endearing.

I agree with you.
Playing it through a second time has made me realize how ... problematic the whole game is.
Terrible journal system, lazy side quests consisting of planet scanning and nothing more, N7 missions that are simply the multiplayer maps slapped into the campaign ... it goes on and on.
Of course, ME3 is still a solid, if unspectacular game, that could be saved overall if they fix that godforsaken ending.
But it doesn't even come close to ME2. And that's a shame.

The twitter stuff was just plain awful. There are many, many people that don't use twitter (like me!) and had no idea about any of that stuff until I got to this forum... After I finished the game.

Not offered a chance to save, or evacuate, the Citadel, even after all the work put into the "Citadel Defense Force". Saving the Citadel could even segue into a new ending.

I would be interested to hear you elaborate on the poor characterization, not quite sure what you mean.

Yeah without twitter peeps will never know Emily Wong was killed off and pretty much everyone on the Citadel is dead.

It just feels like they gave up in the process of making this game.
It doesn't feel right, if you understand what I'm trying to say.

Putting a storyline in the twitter feed is awful. I hope this is a concept that dies.
[edit] I was one of those that didn't know what happened to Emily Wong. I did not find it cute or clever that she was killed off on Twitter. >.<

I agree, I was very disappointed with how side quests were handled. I got very sick of the "fetch" side quests..... which were almost ALL side quests....

I don't use twitter and honestly if it's part of the game it should be in the damn game.

I can't say anyone who's played since ME1 was thrilled about the Rachni thing...Especially on the stress of ME2 to where we get the whole "yeah we'll be there to back you up on the final battle" turned into here's some numbers for you, have fun.
Truly from stepping back and looking at it the game tried too hard to introduce new people to the franchise. Flat out we knew that they were going to help new people into the franchise, but not to the point of making veteran players feel like we had amnesia.
Truly though I think that's the whole issue with the game honestly and it's why we have the endings like they are. Bioware was just too focused on getting new blood in their FINALE.

I think the game should have been delayed until Dec so it could be well-polished.

Well ya. Lots of things I didn't like about me3, they're just all insignificant compared to how much I detest the ending.

Mac Walters confirmed pretty much everyone on the Citadel is dead when the Reapers attacked, very few managed to escape before the arms could close.

Agreed. The game was not at all what I was expecting. It was rushed and it shows.

Of who specifically and why? The only ones that I personally thought were poor were Zaeed and maybe Udina. Would have like a bit more info on Udina's decision to betray the council than just 'he is a power hungry bastard'.
