It's very easy to say you are passionate about something.  It is not so easy, to actually show it.

Why are we all so unsatisfied with ME3's ending?

One single reason.  Regardless of what happens, you have to admit - its BORING.

Why is it boring?  Well, there is no gameplay involved, no enemies to fight, no final battle.  My issue now is not that the ending is complete nonsense.  I could live with that.  My issue is that there is no excitement in it whatsoever.  The best thing I can do during the ending sequence is limp forwards by pushing forward on the analog stick.  Asides from that there is nothing else to do.  

Is that really the best you can come up with Bioware?  Please keep the endings as they are, but at least try and amp it up a little.  Put some passion into your work.  It is a game after all.  Games are meant to be exciting.  If it's not exciting, then the game has failed to fulfil its goal has it not?  We don't pay money to feel bored.  You seemed very eager to let players blow stuff up with big guns during the rest of the game.  Why then, do you not bother to implement anything like that into the game's conclusion?

I'll tell you why it seems so impossible to please all these disgruntled fans, myself included.  It's because you are clearly not trying anymore.  You clearly do not care.  This is all just a big problem to you now.  A great game company would have seen this as an opportunity to take things to the next level, to make things more exciting, but you just want the whole thing to go away.  We thought you were passionate about this franchise but it is becoming ever more apparent that, collectively as a company, you no longer are. 

I'm just incredibly sad that this is the impression I am having to draw from all this.  I loved Mass Effect 1 and 2 because you were clearly very passionate about them.  You clearly did not care about making money from it - quite the opposite - you cared about making the best, most exciting game you could.  In the time between Mass Effect 2 and 3 it seems that your priorities as a company have taken a U-turn.  You seem to care more about making money than making a great game.

That is why we are all so disappointed.  We were convinced you were passionate about this franchise, but it seems that passion is now gone, or just fails to show in Mass Effect 3.

The 2D sprites, the lack of continuity in the narrative, the decrease in dialogue options, the general decrease in interactivity, the lack of meaningful side quests, the removal of the vehicles, the decrease in the character roster, the day 1 paid DLC, the complete lack of gameplay in what is arguably the most important part of the entire series.  These are all indications  that the passion you once had for this franchise is gone.

And I think that is why we are all so disapppointed.
