Yes - if you are prepared for the ending and are steeled against it it shouldn't frustrate/depress/anger you too much. Or you might like it!
In any case it is worth playing the previous 95% of the game for closure and the last 5% to see an example of how to destroy 5 years worth of sci fi excellence.

As has been stated, 95% of the game is some of the best gameplay currently available. But that last 5% has the potential to completely void that experience for you, as well as the experience of the previous two games. You probably think I'm exaggerating, and I wish I was.
That last 5% can destroy everything you've enjoyed in hindsight, tainting all of those excellent experiences with an intense bitterness and confusion.

Well ****, i'll wait for summer then...
It does sound like a hype of exaggeration, but more because I really can't imagine how, when you've created one of the best stories ever, judging from ME1 and 2, you could possibly manage to screw up the ending to this extent. I mean it's normal for people to feel like it should be different when they expect too much from a series' final, but this is some extreme criticism everyone's giving, I can't really imagine Bio wasting it like that.
Then again, Dragon age II was a huge letdown as well

Honestly, the worst thing you can do with any experience in life is let yourself be led by a pack of other people in your expectations and consequent impressions. Don't not play the game because of what other people tell you. And don't play it because of what other people tell you. Live your own life, really.

I didn't like Mass Effect 3. There were tons of bugs, glitches, the face code issue still isn't actually fixed, the journal was a disaster, the dialouge was nonexistent and terribly voiced and after trudging through all of that, you of course have the endings. For some it's a great game but I enjoy single player campaigns and I enjoy a game that feels like an RPG. I didn't like Mass Effect 3 because it lost its soul. I don't think I expected too much. I simply expected it to be beta-tested before release and that at the very least the same general level of quality as well. The DLC is not guaranteed to fix anything however. It's clarification, whatever that means.

ME3 is totally worth playing assuming you can stomach the ending.

The game was excellent and a worth successor to the mass effect series, it has a major flaw but not enough to really detract from the whole thing unless you let it do so.
Just know that the ending is terrible at the start of the elevator scene(you'll know which one) and it'll be all good. That part's not the ending, merely the means to the ending, which is the stargazer scene set 10 thousand years after the events of the ending.

I would say its not worth it. ME3 made me regret getting ME1.
Maybe the only enjoyable parts were related to the Krogan and Quarians. Though with the bugs they are not fixing and the issues with the face imports and especially the ending... If you loved Mass Effect it will break your heart.

Make up your own mind. All you'll get here is opinions either way.

Totally worth it.
The Tuchanka quest line (and aftermath) is almost worth the cost of the game alone, and there is more that's worth seeing for a long-time ME player.
Multiplayer "spoils" enemies you'll face in SP.

If I was in your position, I'd play the game just to see how it could possibly be that bad.
It actually isn't. I've played worse. KotOR 2 was much more incoherent, ToEE fell flatter. ME3 doesn't even manage to be as much of a downer as Planescape: Torment (though of course that one was actually a good ending).

Definitely play it!
TBH the ending is nowhere near as bad as anyone says.
And no, Multiplayer does not reveal any spoilers. (Unless you count enemy reveals as a spoiler.)

Wait for the Extended Cut. The bigger a fan of Mass Effect you are, the more depressing the ending currently is.

You have to be able to make up your own opinion, not just be led around by what other people say, otherwise... what's the point?
If you already own it, of course play it. If you don't like the ending, you can take comfort that the EC is coming, and if you do like the ending, you can take comfort in that even more is coming in the EC.
There's no substantive reason NOT to play, other than "other people hate it" and if that's the case, and I'm going to turn into my mom here, I have to ask: if other people jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?

Yes, you'll love it.
Now I must resist the urge to hand out spoilers. Looking at your profile picture, it's so tempting...

ME3 almost made me regret buying ME1 and ME2, which are by far the better games. Not just because of the ending, which is the worst I have ever seen (speaking objectively).

Yes. But at the reaper leader turns out to be a goldfish. Other than that the game is great. Just do a run now and after extended ending dlc.

You... don't know what "objectively" means, do you?

IMO play the game, i love the game and have no problems with the ending.
The ending is not perfect and does have a few plot holes but hopefully they will be fixed.

If you already got the game, play it. If you don't care about the story, play the game.
Personally I can't bring myself to continue the my second playthrough in ME3 or my third playthrough (currently in ME2) though because ME3 has really disheartened me.
You need to play to know how you will react. It's art, it's supposed to apall.
