I'm just going to go ahead and quote this, because it can't be said too many times-
Also Clint Mansell/Sam Hulick's beautiful music.
Agree, the ending looked, and sounded, fantastic.
Oh, and also, the soundtrack (by Mansell and Hulick) is pretty good.
The setting, the music all forced the "feels" on me. Anderson's moment... what he says to Shepard. I cried. I admit it.
I confess I do like the Extended Anderson conversation. I think it gives Anderson and Shepard a good 'personal' moment at what seems like the end to them.
I do understand why it was shortened though, it slows down the pacing just that little bit.

It also says Anderson never had children which is false. But yeah the pacing is as good a reason as any.
The entire scene with the Catalyst was a sea of confusion, including the space battle going on overhead. It wasn't space at it's finest, it was a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
It's just my opinion though, there's no reason to go spreading it around.

Nope, it is true that Anderson never had children. It is spelled out in Revelation when he talks to his lawyer about the divorce ("Just be glad you two don't have any children" or something like that).
I don't know who that guy in the LotSB text is, but I guess it is the son of hos wife, who still admires Anderson or something like that.
On topic: I would agree from a purely graphical viewpoint, the scenery looked very impressive. Though I always thought there was a bit of a disconnect between the pre-rendered cutscenes and the in game scenes because Earth looks very different in the two.
Yeah, but that's kind of a problem with ME3 in general. CG scenes are very brown-ish and duller looking and have some really terrible post-processing effects layered onto them. I even think they still have film grain, which is odd when the in-game graphics don't.
IMO, Bioware should skimp on CG as much as possible in the future, and hopefully that would be possibly on a next-gen only Mass Effect. Dragon Age Inquisition only had a few of them, but then again, DA2 didn't have a lot either. Funny thing is, the pre-rendered scenes still look like crap in Inquisition and are full of pixels and compression. It's also become Bioware's new lazy way of showing your payoff i.e. showing one 10-second clip for every faction you've aquired and that's it.
I don't know, I thought it fit together very well on other occasions. The Reaper vs. Mother of all Thresher Maws comes to mind. There was a lot of intermingling between in game scenes and pre-rendered cutscenes and it worked very well IMO. Same goes for some stuff going on in London.
Maybe it's the space scenes. They use a lot of lens schmutz effects on those.
I think it's jarring that they didn't make them 1080p 60fps on pc though. I sometimes wished I had played the trilogy on consoles simply because the transition from in-game to CG becomes too noticeable when the framerate is 24/30fps as opposed to 60 and the quality is extra blurry.
