After being spammed by angry Mass Effect 3 complainers to do a piece on their charity work, destructiod did as asked, lambasting them for their paper-thin agenda and the aformentioned spam in a highly sarcastic article.

Now...i didnt particularly like the ending but i dont see why its so bad, and no one has been able to explain to me, in simple steps lacking huge logical gaps, what the problem is. All i ever see is frothing rage and stupidity. So i dont really know what people are upset about.
I will say that, in my mind, doing charity work is always good. Flooding gaming news site inboxes with obnoxious cries for attention, while shallow, doesnt offset the good of charity work.
As for the "movement" (i guess you could call it) to rewrite the ending of ME3...even if the ending of ME3 had been horrible in my eyes, like really horrible, like maybe a montage of Shepard and Anderson having sex atop a burning reaper set to a Rebecca Black song, i couldnt support the call to rewrite the end. Because we didnt develop the game. We, most of us here horribly spoiled Americans, may feel intitled to any level of instand gratification, BUT WE ARE NOT. Lucasfilms doesnt owe you a no-Jarjar version of the most recent three Star Wars films, McDonalds does not owe you a lifetime supply of Triple Bacon-and-Bacon McBacons and Bioware doesnt owe you the happy ending of your wildest dreams.
Besides, WHOS ENDING WOULD WE USE? Because MY ideal ending for ONE of my Shepards, which involves the Crucible turning out to disable the ME fields off all the galaxies Reapers, isnt yours. Mine has Harbinger comedicly collpasing under his own weight as "(Dont Fear) The Reaper" plays. The closing shot is of Shapard, standing atop a dead Reaper, his Grall in one hand and Tali wrapped around his waist, throwing a fist into the air in triumph as the wind whips his torn cape about. The entire thing would look like a godamn Manowar cover.
But thats just me. What are your thoughts?

I agree with his opinion on peoples reactions to ending. I was frustrated by the DLC but the process of making game ment it probably wasnt gonna be done by release date. Not to mention he has a point about how cheap games are nowdays.
I would still like someone to explain exactly whats wrong with the ending though.
