Speculations for everyone -- coming out of nowhere after 3 games where actions had definite consequences.

That's what I dislike the most.

There is more that I dislike, but that's the chart-topper for me.

[-Skorpious-]

•  No closure or an epilogue of any kind (seriously Bioware, how could you miss something as basic as an epilogue?!)
• A new antagonist is introduced in the last 5 minutes
• Said antagonist is completely nonsensical, and destroys any sort of menace the reapers had left
• Loss of galactic travel
• Loss of galactic travel strands an untold amount of aliens in foreign solar systems 
• No matter what choice I pick, I am treated to the same cutscene with a different color
• The Normandy, for some ungodly reason, crashes in the middle of nowhere
• It is implied by the stargazer that the entire trilogy is a glorified bedtime story his grandson
• The utterly offensive "Buy More DLC!" message that pops up after the credits. 

And yes, I hate all 9 equally.

That it overshadows the other major flaws of the game.

This. The game was released 6-12 months too soon. And it is just not because of the ending. There are a whole slew of problems.

THe outright betrayal of central themes and design decisions... though it is very hard to choose one item to hate more than the others.

1) In game science becoming more and more unbelievable, by the rules the writers first set (science fiction -> fiction)
2) Logical fallacies and inconsistencies
3) removal of player agency
4) All the statements about unique endings taking into account your previous choices being shown to be lies

My biggest problem is all the impossibilities that happened.

-How did Tali step off the Normandy with Garrus when she was just charging the beam with me?
-Why is Joker running in the first place?
-How can synthesis possibly work? What the heck does it even do?
-How does the Normandy survive falling apart mid-FTL and manage to land on a planet without everyone dead?
-The liberal use of Space Magic to resolve everything.

Honorable mention goes to.
-No matter what ending I choose I feel like a loser. I didn't earn this, the catalyst just gives it to me out of what I assume is pity.
-The Synthetics vs. Organics plot was resolved on Rannoch, it was never the theme of the series.
-Unsatisfying end for TIM
-Everything after the beam was more or less nonsense.

Worst thing? That the attempt at making the ending something profound failed miserably due to it being copied poorly. An ending as such killed all momentum of the game, the build-up just ended in a three-coloured dud.

When I want to be deeply impressed by profound theory and drama, I'll read a good book. A space adventure such as this should end in glory, not pseudo-intellectual bull****. I you want to do that, you should build it up throughout the game, not suddenly toss it in at the end, and believe me that it would not have been as popular as it was.

Most anticipated game of the year became the most disappointing one. The series is dead to me.

Losing control of your Shepard thus leading to the shooting of Anderson: That’s the event that bothers me the most about the ending. Shepard (the player) losing control of his actions, pointing his gun at his friend and mentor and pulling the trigger. The only reason Anderson is dead is because Shepard shut him, there is no way around that. Since when the strong willed Shepard can lose his will and become a Reapers/Starchild lackey? Most disheartening is just standing by and watch it all happening without the option of doing anything about it.

[Troglyte]

Mostly the plot, auto-dialog and the concept that the purpose of the reapers is to save organics from being killed by something besides reapers.

[aetheldod]

That Joker gets my LI .... why ????? D:

[FinalEndeavor]

I hate everything about the ending but the thing I hate the most is that "My Shepard" is not in the ending scene with the God Child.

That shepard is not how I played him. No matter what I can't choose how he talks to the God Child and it drives me insane!!! That shepard is just one Bioware made and mine was no where to be found.

[Grissmin]

I hate that the ending makes me feel: no matter how I play. I always lose.

Only too true. I am surprised that there are so many who missed this veiled insult.

Oh I'm well aware of that.  Though I don't think that's less a matter of the ending so much as Bioware's reaction to our reaction to the ending.  But maybe I just don't get it

What I hate most:

That five years, three games, and hundreds of hours of playtime boiled down to a multicolored "Rocks fall" ending for Shepard after he's forced to do something terrible to the galaxy in order to "save" it.

And they're shocked fans reacted badly to that?

I can live with the three multicolor choices as long as the EC does a better job of explaining why and how those are my choices. Sometimes life is a crock of poo and you don't have any good options. The problem for me was not what my choices were but the total lack of information as to why those were my choices and what the effect of those choices were. Not to mention Starchild McNewCoke doesn't seem like a very reliable source of information. "Hey.... you do know you are presenting yourself in the form a young child... THAT YOU MURDERED YOU @#*!&%"

But the thing that I have no clue how they can dig out from is the Joker running away to Gilligan's planet. The dumb in that particular sequence is so bad that I can't even begin to describe the pain of it.

I'll still give the EC a shot though.

1. The Catalyst. 
2. The forced death of my avatar.
3. The ridiculous conjecture on inevitable conflict and the destruction of organic life at the hands of their creation.
4. The utter tripe that is Synthesis.

This sums it up pretty well, in my view - especiall #1 and #4. Synthesis could stand on its own as a reason to utterly despise the ending ...

Some serious Quality Control issues with ME3.

[78stonewobble]

Decisions not making any difference.

Well I wouldn't have minded that if you killed the rachni you just loose ME3... no but's and if's...

To others I think that would have been too much.

The military assets is a way for decisions to matter without totally ruining the game for some players.

It's a rather elegant solution imho but not particularly bold/daring. It IS however very anonymous and low key.

I think that every major and maybe a few minor decisions you made during the games deserved some kind of cutscene in the ending.

EDIT: Aka. since the decisions cannot really matter ingame without making for a bad gaming experience they should have compensated with -> awesome cutscene.

The most depressing part of it? All hopes and dreams dashed for my LI.

The thing that makes me the most angry? That anyone would even consider inventing Synthesis because it's so completely and utterly idiotic (as well as being of big enough impact to ruin the chance of future games without them picking a canon choice).

I did hate that the EC doesn't give us moar fancy colours. I want my red, purple and pink ending too!

[Thornne]

The absolute worst, IMO, is the Normandy crash scene.

If that did not exist, or had been explained, then the entire Star Kid scene would be up next.

I think the ending is largely fixed if both these things are just cut completely.

[Kurremurre]

The absolutely worst part, in my opinion, is that they didn't even acknowledge Peter Chimaera's authorship of the ending.
