Well, I read that review (not all of it, just as much as I could stomach in that absolutely awful writing style) and I have to say I disagree with him.
Now, I'm one of those who despised the endings of ME3, but that's not why I disagree. I've actually read some comments by people who liked them and some of them have been able to express interesting and reasonable reasons for liking them. This guy hasn't. He's basically going "you're dumb for not liking what I did". I can appreciate good arguments even when I don't agree with them, but I don't think this guy's arguments are good at all. He completely ignores all the plot holes that the original endings made, the fact that they were bad ripoffs of the original Deus Ex endings, the disrespect EA showed for gamers and the commercial reasons the endings were so lackluster.
In fact, either he hasn't played the ME games, he did speed runs, ignored the cutscenes or watched someone else's playthrough, because he clearly wasn't invested in the story when he came up with such a ridiculous reason for the endings being so dumb. I don't say he's a bad reviewer. Actually, yes, I say that. That writing style is terrible. I understand kids being entertained by it, like some are entertained by Fred in Youtube, but for people who like to read, this writing style gets obnoxious almost instantly. But anyway, maybe the guy is perfectly capable of constructing compelling, interesting and intelligent arguments. He's just not doing it here.
