Wow OP, I could just copy and past your beginning post and use that as my opinion.
After playing through Mass Effect 3, getting pissed off at the ending. Then going to the internet to discover sources that I once trusted were defending the game and blatantly insulting me in the name of "artistic integrity" that I didn't feel existed in Mass Effect 3. This just turned me off the series completely. I gave away my N7 hoodie, threw out the game, and I haven't taken any interest in anything Mass Effect since.

And even if those parts were ANY good, that still leaves the fact that the developers lied about your choices mattering at all and the 16 endings that would be different from one another as a result of those choices during ALL the series.A Smooth Criminal said:I'm wondering why I only saw good things being said about the game until people started to play the ending...
I think people were being so simple about it, they thought that a bad ending = bad game.
When people started to say "hold on on a minute, it was still a great game though" the ending people began to try and convince themselves that the game was terrible.
I know I'm lazy.
