Uhm, my qualms began once i started playing priority :Earth.
First of all not seeing enough of the forces i gathered during the game made me feel a little annoyed i guess.

The whole Steeeveee thing just felt like such a lazy shortcut. Shepards reaction made sense if Cortez would've been my LI. But i barely talked to the guy and suddenly im worried sick about him?

All in all i dunno, i guess i didnt start to actually get mad until i'd finished the whole thing but there sure was a lot of things bothering me about the earth mission aswell.
It certainly felt way less spectacular then i was expecting, might be my own fault though.
But things like not seeing krogan troops rushing alongside me etc, i wanted that so badly.
A united force of all different races standing together, and all i got was some measly cutscenes showing one or two aliens- That was not enough for me. Fair enough the part after harbingers beam was the major disappointment, but i really think everything prior to that could've been better handled aswell.

When the Starchild appeared i knew it was going to be bad.

But then, the multicolor explosions and the Stargazer scene made it even worse.

¨It all happened a long time ago¨ = everyone we cared about is dead by that point.

As soon as Starchild began to speak about unavoidable organic vs organic conflict... i thought "wtf, it was never the mian plot in the whole trilogy...", then my shepard became someone else.

The first sign was when Sword jumped in. Seeing so little to reflect my decisions was annoying, but I thought it would come later, so it was ok.
Second sign was on Earth. The constant horde attacks and live until pickup/fireable missle/whatever. I had been hoping for some interesting gameplay, like the suicide mission decisions.
The third was when Harbinger beamed me - and I just got back up. Sure, I was hurt, but a lesser ship killed me if I was anywhere near its beam, whilst Harbinger does bugger all? Right...
The fourth was the Anderson TIM convo. Saren 2.0... Yay... I was hoping he'd be more individual, but W/E.
What REALLY got me was the second an elevator of light started moving. Then I was just "Ok, F*** this.". That was when the ending went from mildly disappointing to 'WTF? Who thought this was a good idea?', the same sentiment for everything that followed it.

The moment the core gameplay took a backseat to "intelligent" narrative aimed at the bro shooter audience. Everything right after the undodgable beam. It was pretty clear I wasn't going to have a happy ending when they had me saying goodbye to everyone halfway through the last mission but what I got was so much worse.

When it went from science-fiction to magic.... i thought the starchild thing didnt make sense on any level other than magic...

I just finished my second playthrough of ME3 and while watching the ending I was thinking about the hate that it has recieved. The first time I played through I didn't think much of the ending, i wasn't angry or happy, just confused and wanting to continue playing from where it left off (i got shepard breathing). So at the end of my second playthrough; my thoughts are basically the same, however, I actually think that the confrontation with Anderson and the Illusive Man was actually pretty interesting as was the fairwell of Anderson, but then StarChild comes and I just get confused and, more or less, agitated.

So my question to you guys is, at what point did you start to, or just flat out, not like the ending?

When Shepard 'died' since I chose control. Thus no chance of being reunited with crew. The normandy flying off - not even a funeral or memorial service for Shep just Kaidan(LI) smiling upon getting out of the ship i mean wth?? None of that sat right at all.

[The Protheans]

Seeing Starchild was the first sign for me.
But then the options blew me away I was in awe emotionally and then realizing this isn't what should of happened, none of my choices changed anything.

[AndreasShepard]

Honestly the second the game returned me to the Normandy and said "buy more DLC" I couldn't believe that was it. Totally lacking any sense or emotion, all I could do was go online and see if anyone else was as upset, luckily I wasn't alone

the magic elevator was the beginning of the end for me

I knew it was bad the moment citadel got moved to earth OFFSCREEN. From then on it torpedoed itself

Pretty much this, i was bracing myself from that point on, still was quite the shock how bad it turned out though

As soon as I was walking into an exploding tube firing and the flashbacks to significant people didn't include Tali (my LI), just what felt like 3 random people picked out of a hat. It went downhill fast from there ...

They weren't random, those were 3 people that no matter what you did would still be there in Mass Effect 3.

That doesnt make sense. Plenty of other people were there no matter what you did. Anderson was dead for a start, why Flashback to him, I'd been with him 2 minutes earlier, and Tali was always with me, and my LI in 2 games, and we were going to build a house on Rannoch together ... Garrus, when does he leave you? Why wasnt he one of the 3? What about Ashley?

Face it, they were 3 random people.

It was when I reloaded the game after completing it and saw the "2nd" ending (blue one).

I was confused at first when I watch the first ending, I was too busy thinking that starchild was trying to trick me, I look behind him for a fourth option. But then I was like okay, I'll just got for the synthesis one as it's straight ahead and I can't slow walk anymore and it sounds interesting.

I saw it and I could only think "that's pretty, now what the hell is this, did I get the strange bonus wierd ending like aliens ending in silent hill".

Saw the 2nd ending and was like are you kidding me, these are the actual endings? WTF?! ARRGGGHHH!!!

[Kazaru]

At the start of the credits. It was like and thats all, at that point i didn't know what went wrong. I made everything as good as posible, and all of the "endings" felt not like winning. With every ending the Reapers get way with out to pay that was the moment i started to hate it with pashon

[IntoTheDarkness]

From mars mission. Knew that the crucible was going to be dues-ex-machina.

turns out it's even worse.

[M Hedonist]

*The platform Shepard collapsed on suddenly rises and Shepard is bathed in heavenly light*
Me: "... what?"
*Shepard says something along the lines of "Ok, what do I have to do" like some kind of moron instead of questioning the Catalyst's contradictory logic*
Me: "This can't be real."
*bunch of weird cutscenes*
Me: "..." (speechless)
'Shepard has become a legend! Buy dlc'-message
Me: "Oh my god no."

I was a bit nervous about the ending when I saw no sign of any of the special war assets during the earth assault. Then the beam of light... and the... starkid.

[Siibi]

After Anderson dies and Shepard meets the Starchild.

[BrotherlyTech]

For me, I was playing a canon shep(not imported) and Shep and Anderson were lying there, bleeding out, and I was like, BEST ENDING EVER! and then over the radio comes Hacketts voice, and I'm like
"AWWW YEAAAAH MORE GAMEPLAY COMING!!!" and then the elevator, and I see the Starchild,and then it just kept talking, and presents me with control or destroy. I listened carefully to the choices he was giving me, and I was like,
"Your destroy option is full of s**t, I couldn't doom the Geth, so I sided with them, and the Quarians killed themselves, Tali committed suicide, and now you are telling me one of my choices, is to kill them anyways, and your Control option is Bull hockey too, not even 5 minutes ago, I shot TIM because he was deluded in thinking Control was a good option," and now I have to PICK ONE?! I sat there looking at my choices for so long, that I got frustrated, checked to see when my last save was, and shut my 360 off.

I came back to it later, loaded my save, played the control option, got that crappy Cutscene, thought
"That CS was crap, I guess that was the wrong choice," reload my save, pick destroy, ".....Why is this the same cutscene with a different color...wtf is going on..." came on to these forums, thinking maybe because I didn't import my "perfect Shep" playthrough, I didn't get the "best ending," so I wanted to know what the difference endings were like, saw the bazillion threads on how bad the endings were, and joined the queue waiting for a better ending.
I should also point out, that my war assets page said "Chances of victory are Low but measurable" so I figured with heavy casualties we would scrap out a win by conventional means, which I was fine with. I'd rather a conventional win, losing almost every ship in the fleet, as well as all my allies, and having shep die, than pick one of those three crappy endings.

I was shocked to begin with. I spent quite a lot of time trying to rationalise the ending at first, and make sense of the plot-holes.

When nothing came of it, and I garnered a few opinions on these here forums, I realised my overall opinion was definately a dislike. There are some parts the ending does really well- the music is fantastic, as is (some) of the imagery and the Anderson/TIM scene.

The overall theme and inconsistencies though? Bad bad bad. Will be interested to see what's added in the DLC.

When the prothean VI says that the protheans didnt even make the crucible, and that they didnt even make the blueprints to build it, that it was passed down to them from possibly millions of years. Stuck out to me just like the design of "the one" from the matrix (another form of control).

Once you couldnt point out something about how thats pretty f*cking suspicious. Especially since it was stated that you have no idea wtf the crucible will even do when activated, other than it will be powerful form of energy. From then on it was just straight f*cking downhill.

The heavenly elevator of light was when I knew it wasn't going to be good, then I met Starchild and was like oh yeah, really don't like this ending.

But even as I was limping to my doom I NEVER imagined it would be as bad as it was, I figured even if my shep has to die I'll get some closure on squad mates and the races, oh dear! Poor, silly, naive little me!
