There are, yes, but that doesn't really matter in this conversation.
The ending to RDR was exceptional. As was the dark, heartbreaking, tear-inducing ending to another certain GOTY contender from 2012.

From wikipedia:
"An article is a written work published in a print or electronic medium. It may be for the purpose of propagating the news, research results, academic analysis or debate."
A blog is an article.

Yes. The ending is terrible, for many reasons (though I think the breath scene is the LEAST of the ending's issues). You're mistaking me for someone who is defending it, it would seem.

"This problem is even further amplified by all that ruckus the fans have made over the ending of ‘Mass Effect 3′. On that note, I would have to agree. A franchise that puts such a big emphasis on choices throughout its iterations to just end with three damn, very similar, outcomes, is a middle finger to all the hours invested in the games. Don’t think you’re up to it? No problem at all! Just don’t go promising fans the moon if you’re not ready to deliver it."
Thank you man on the internet.

Don't worry: there's probably 75 non-perfect reviews out there, too.
For contrast, look at the reviews for The Dark Knight Rises, and the number of blog entries and discussions about the problems with the movie's writing, logic and ending. Do the same with Avatar, too. Or, specifically, something you personally like.

Seriously, you Mass Effect fans think your ending sucked? Try being a fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion, then come back to me about terrible endings. Oh, and the "extended cut" of that series, End of Evangelion? You think the refusal ending was a middle finger to the fanbase, you haven't seen ANYTHING yet. If refuse was a middle finger, EoE was a full-on violent rape to the fanbase. It makes refuse and the ME endings look like the best endings of all time in comparison.
Thank goodness for the MEHEM equivalent for Evangelion, which is the fan written ending taking place after (and sort of during) EoE. It's actually a manga, that is several chapters, and the artist who did it was so good at replicating the artwork of the real manga that it's almost hard to believe that it's unofficial. There are sex scenes though, very tastefully done though, and there is an "all ages" version that doesn't include them. I think the adult version is better though, those scenes actually have good dialogue and add to the plot. Still, either version works. The name of it is "Evangelion RE-take".
Bottom line, Evangelion actually mirrors ME quite a bit. Both had an original ending that was just stupid nonsense, both had a new ending added because of criticism that pretty much gives a middle finger, and both had a fan made redoing of the endings that make things end on a much better note then any of the official stuff. Difference is, Evangelion's nonsense original ending is worse then Mass Effect's, and the extended cut equivalent is a much bigger middle finger then the refusal ending could ever dream to be. It's like ME3's ending made several times worse. Thankfully, RE-take's ending makes it all better and makes you think back on the series fondly instead of with sadness and rage.

Talking about game endings, ME3, specially with EC, in far from how awful AC3 ending is...
and yet to me twice as aggravating especially after the "It's up to you" middle finger
and yes it IS a middle finger

Thinking about it, that series is probably why I got over ME3's ending so quickly and why and why I'm so annoyed with people that still haven't gotten over it. After Evangelion, ME3's ending was nothing more then a warm spring breeze in comparison. It gave me a super strong tolerance for endings that will make a fan get super upset. After EoE, no ending phases me anymore. I'd probably be acting like most people on this board do about ME3 in regards to Evangelion if I hadn't found RE-take, which allowed the wounds left by EoE to heal and let me finally move on and accept how that series ended.
Or if you listen to the stupid Bioware writer that declared this was Sheppard's last breath, at PAXchemiclord wrote...

Not really.
The "breath scene" sets out what it was intended to do, demonstrate that Shepard survived. It demonstrates and ties that intent closed... barely, but it does. The only way it's ambiguous and unclear is if you want it to be for the sake of being contrary.
