@Seival:
Unsurprising that things come out that way for you. I can't say I totally disagree, but are you serious with 10/10? Or are you just trolling the anti-enders?
My rating would be: 7/10 for thematic appeal, 3/10 for narrative and logical consistency and lore-compliance, 9/10 for being open enough to be compatible with my vision of the future of galactic civilization. Makes a 6 overall. Translation:
I really like the EC outcomes. All of them. However, I do not like that I must force a global change to get the Synthesis future (-2 points), and I think Destroy should have destroyed the relays irrepairably, keeping closer to the theme "free the galaxy of everything of Reaper origin" (-1 point).
As for consistency, there are too many contradictions and narrative inconsistencies in the ending to give it any kind of positive rating. A good "twist" ending lets all the pieces fall into place, with previously mystified players saying "Ah...now it all makes sense". ME3's ending, whether it satisfies you in other ways or not, manages to do the opposite as players ask "Wait....didn't the whole trilogy tell me something different?" It should never be so much work to make sense of things.
Most importantly, I like that the ending is open to interpretation. It may have become less so with the EC but as I see it, the EC restores the foundation on which our imagination works to envision the future.
Edit:
v Indeed, with the dark age my rating would've been 1/10.
I'm 100% serious with 10/10. This is my personal rating for the entire ME Trilogy, including the ending...
...By the way. The only other game that received such personal rating from me was Planescape: Torment.
