Why do this and remind people of how much ME3 irked fans?
I'll preface this by saying that ME3 irked me *heaps*, and I'm still disappointed by some of it. That said, every time someone lumps "the fans" together as a hive mind, it makes me basically skip the rest of whatever they're saying.
The game was critically and commercially successful - probably the highest selling game in the series, and certainly the one that got the most attention. Many fans liked it a lot. We have no way of knowing how many, and we shouldn't discount the views of people who didn't like it, but the idea that there's a consensus opinion is very silly.
Like everything in life, it's not the case that every single person who played the game felt the same way about it. There is no "fans", there's a group of millions of individuals with their own feelings. I wager that three years on, many of those people would be happy to replay the game even if it's not perfect.
