Apparently people do that a lot.
They expected an inventory system, they expected the same character development system they expected armour for your party members. It seems that the community does a whole lot of "expecting" and then a whole lot of "****ing" when their expectations turn out to be invalid.
Damn straight we expect alot - call it customer prerogative. I would have been equally disappointed if the combat or story sucked, or if they turned the game into a 2d sidescroller.

Would the ME2 sex scenes really be improved with Turian genitalia and the removal of Jack's nipple-covering shoulder straps?
For you? Apparently not.
But, unlike you, I can accept that some people don't think the scenes could be improved with nudity, and that very well may be true for you. But for me, and a lot of other people who view the sex scenes & follow up dialogue as a critical component related to the ultimate fulfillment of the overall romance subplot experience, yes... yes they would be improved with a realistic expression of sex rather than a 'fade to black'. We all experience and interact with various art forms in our own way, and for you to try to deny what others might experience to be true for them is quite frankly - insulting.
A similar argument could be made for blood spatter -
Is blood splatter necessary to have a good game? No.
Could some people perceive the inclusion of blood splatter as a critical element which improves the game because they appreciate the realism? Yes.
Could still others perceive the inclusion of blood splatter as harmful to the game somehow? Of course.
You better believe though, that if you create a new video game franchise where one of the defining elements is blood & gore, and follow up with a sequel completely bereft of those elements, the community supporting that franchise is gonna sound off with a huge 'WTF?'

It seems to me that people want nudity for two main reasons and neither of which actually benefit the game.
1. Controversy. People want Bioware to be "progressive" and include elements like homosexual relationships and nudity in their games.
2. Immature desire to see boobs. It's why we see all these nudity mods for games like Oblivion, Dragon Age and Fallout 3. In fact, they're usually the first mods we see crop up. It's not about immersion or about "maturity" at all.
This argument is what we call the false dilemma, which suggests there are only two possible reasons people want nudity, when in fact there are several more. Many of those reasons have been expressed throughout multiple threads on this topic. To dismiss those reasons, by making broadstoke assumptions that any desire to see the inclusion of sexual elements stems from immaturity or controversy, just reveals your refusal to acknowledge other people's opinions and take them at their word regarding their express motivations. Who the hell are you to tell me that my motivation has nothing to do with immersion?
Some of us might actually have compounded reasons for wanting nudity - I like it both for realistic immersion into the storytelling,
and because I think it's 'hot'. Your argument fails, by equating a desire to see boobs with immaturity - as I've mentioned earlier, I hope I never become so '
mature' that I stop liking boobs. Sexual attraction and arousal through visual stimulation is part of what makes us human. So when you have a game like Mass Effect, a game that otherwise seems to pride itself on accurate depictions of human/alien behavior on the most difficult & controversial topics (ie. slavery, drugs, child abuse, police brutality, racism, etc...), blatantly shy away from sex, it begs the question... why? Why the inconsistency?
Finally, your argument is outright offensive to any homosexuals out there who simply want to see their demographic represented in the games they buy.
