Its just a bunch of people who have a sad that Shepard actually fucking dies at the end of her trilogy.
Sorry not everything is shit rainbows and vomit skittles in magic fairy wonderland, but sometimes shit just doesn't end that way.
That said; they ought to at least put something in to detail the outcome of the player's choices throughout the game. Other than that the endings were good; leave them alone.
The ending was a mind fuck, as I'm sure 90 others have told you. It should have been a bleak ending, not a ending that was dismissive of all before it and basically a room with three levers, each one a different ending. But they are basically the same room with a different painting on the wall with little things changing on the painting. Like a tree, or a person's face, maybe even a grave.
It pulled what Lost did and try to make it
look super sophisticated and smart, but really was just because they had writer's block at the time.

at this point I wish people would shut up and move on. Maybe if people were a bit more constructive and respectful instead of acting like mean-spirited little brats who abuse User Reviews I would take them seriously. Whoever resorts to insults first is usually the side not worth siding with. And, of course, it's the gamers. It's ALWAYS the fucking gamers.
Well when you spend 100 hours investing in a world and generally being a giant fan of a certain thing, then that thing basically takes your hard works, burns it, pisses on it and then throws it in the garbage, you should be able to get irate without the Publisher calling you entitled. Then the Dev getting in there and trying to weasel out of your anger.
Granted, anger shouldn't take the place of constructive critism, but as humans we need a place to vent, and here is one of them.
I can understand why people would be pissed, especially about a RPG game. You spend hundreds of hours grinding, finding and getting the best gear, killing bosses and overall trying to perfect the game. But then when all your work is thrown out the window, you complain. Then when you complain the publisher [EA in this case] comes over to tell you your a entitled fuckwad of a person and should get over it. Finally the developer notices you and says that your just being stupid for not understanding their highly deep ending. Yes, because we don't have a right to complain about people's work. If a carpenter builds a house with only one support beam and we complain about it falling over one afternoon they shouldn't say that they meant for that to happen all along.
Now, my take on this. So it was all a big-bang of controversy to sell more copies? But you didn't expect people to get pissy about how you end it. Come on now, foresight and hindsight are helpful, since living in the moment may hurt you later. I haven't beaten Mass Effect 3, but its a ending, which is something that I can watch to experience, not play to.
Out of all of them I liked the Synthesis ending, but my biggest problem is that there is zero closure, and like said previously, its basically pulling a fucking lever to get the ending, not based off of actions*. They all are basically the same freaking thing but a different color of explosion, not much else or less.
*Strangely, this is wrong, since you have to make a action to get a ending, but your past actions don't matter.
