Well, I've just completed my second playthrough, but with a twist.
The game was much more enjoyable this time simply because I stopped playing right before Shepard enters the Citadel.
Since Bioware neglected to put an ending, I'm just gonna imagine one for myself.
Shepard uses the Crucible to destroy the Reapers, without destroying the relays.
Shepard and Tali build that house and live happily ever after.
Liara goes with Javik to his final resting place. And it's not in Jamaica.
Garrus eventually becomes primarch and opens a bar, the Lucky Shot.
Mirandas face gets burned, the entire galaxy says it's an improvement.
Samara goes to spend some time with her daughter before resuming her duties as a
Justicar and designated cleavage.
Ashley, as the only active human Spectre, helps with the recovery efforts on various
planets.
Wrex and Grunt, after 'appropriating' a new planet, lead the krogan to a New Golden age.
Jack keeps on teaching new biotic recruits, and moonlights as a stripper.
Jacob and James are never, ever mentioned again, and every trace of their existence is erased. No one notices.
Is anyone who bought the game but doesn't play anymore willing to share his account for Multiplayer? I enjoyed it a lot in the Demo but don't really want to pay for the full game just so I can play the Horde mode. I have a Path of Exile beta account that I can trade for it.
That comic is doing a much better job than the orginal ending. Okey, it start with that shit marauder shoke, but it continues with epicness situations following good action, better atmosphere and a plot with a fucking sense. OMG I WANT MOAR
I guess, if you really get technical, that line is true.... the game did have potential. So potentially there could have been devastating and deadly consequences from each action ... or indeed from any action whatsoever ... but the only thing the game had was potential
That's one of the reasons I was so pissed off with the game; wasted potential. You could see little bits of excellence shining through sometimes, but they were few and far between and in the end they were just buried by the mounds of shit. Oh well =)
That's the problem. Technically everything in that add is true, it all depends on how you interpret it. I especially like the "Mass Effect 3 has provoked a bigger fan reaction than any other videogame".
It's funny for me how Bioware likes to brag about Mass Effect 3 having unforgettable ending. But I don't quite remember Mass Effect 3 ending. I only know it was blue, green or some other color. Whatever.
Sadly, none of the statements in that add is a lie.

Yeah... right
I don't see how it's not true.
Spoiler:
You choose whether to cure or sabotage the genophage. Also as part of this choice you might have to shoot Mordin in the back. I think shooting your friend in the back and dooming an entire species is both devastating and deadly. And then if Wrex is alive you have to shoot him too.
And then there's the quarian and geth conflict that you resolve one way or another. Genocide is a pretty serious matter.
My thoughts on this is that the ending soured the experience quite a great deal for people, so they keep forgetting that there were plenty of choices made before the epilogue. As Shepard, you did a lot of things that shaped the course of the galaxy during the course of the game. [My gripe with those would be that they felt a bit rushed. Each story could warrant a game of its own, but instead we did away with centuries worth of conflicts in a few minutes.] Some other consequences were more of a personal kind, rather something of galactic proportions, but that doesn't necessarily mean they weren't important...
But I guess it's hard to be happy about all that when you have an ending which makes it look like non of it really mattered. We don't even really know if any choices we made had any meaning past the finale. All the way up until the end, there were hints as to what the future might hold for the affected races, so I think many people expected a more definitive resolution after all is done, but instead it was a fade to black after a very brief flash of colorful explosions that fucked up pretty much everything we did up until that point. We can assume a whole lot about what it all means of course, but we shouldn't have to... not when it's supposed to be an end of the series.
Even if Bioware intends for players to get more answers in their next Mass Effect series, perhaps set many years (centuries) since ME3, when those events are part of history or legends, shrouded in obscurity and all that (which is not a bad idea in itself), they shouldn't have left so much unanswered. The finale needs to be more... well, final.
That whole "but you made choices/saw consequences/got closure in the 30 hours before the end" seems to be a common mantra amongst defenders of the ending. Maybe for some people that was sufficient, but it strikes me as pretty piss-poor when all that gets tossed aside in the last 10 minutes. Great job curing the Genophage, making peace between the Geth and Quarians etc. - too bad you just fucked the entire galaxy by blowing up all the relays, killing off the Geth (in the destroy/red ending), trapping everyone in the Sol system, etc. Plus that stupid bit at the end with the Normandy running away. I would have much preferred to see Joker and the crew go out in a blaze of glory suicide-ramming Harbinger or something than the Gilligan's Planet shit they came up with.
Fan arrangement of the soundtracks not included with the official one, includes Mordin's final music, a ton of cerberus themed tracks, and cut tracks from Rannoch.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
