My favorite part was when the Rachni (a major plot point and decision of ME1) were relegated to bonus points and a short text blurb in ME3.Oh, and how Kal Reegar and Kelly were killed in an email.

Show every single battle and death in the war?And what about the whole rachni mission with Grunt?

If you saved the queen in ME1 all you get are some bonus points and a text blurb by freeing her. If you killed her you have to kill the new queen too. Your decision litterally didn't matter beyond making you "feel good" as it plays almost no bearing on the war. Your decision in ME1 was pretty much meaningless.If you didn't start the series from the beginning you don't really have a valid opinion on the whole debacle since you weren't along for a ride where 8 year old promises that had been talked about and hyped up by Boware were all broken and everything you did across all three games was ultimately meaningless via a shoehorned in deus ex machina.

I played it about a year after it came out, with extended cut installed. Consequently, I just thought everyone ha overhyped it.

You kill the queen in Me1 the new queen betrays you in Me3 and you lose war assets. You save the queen and you have to decide in me3 if the krogan team or rachni would be better assets. A decision based on whether you trust the queen and morality and shit.and i mean really. did you really think the galaxy had any chance against the reapers. of course it's going to come down to some sort of ultimate plot device to save the day
Honestly the ending isn't really bad at all with the Extended Cut. It really makes it a good ending and it doesn't deserve so much blind, ignorant hate. It could have been better, sure, but you can thank EA for rushing them and shoving the game out the door before it was totally complete.

Your choices don't matter in the slightest.The only ending that isn't a copy of the others is the Deny option.

They put in the work they can and then there's a huge uproar on something they've devoted so much time and effort towards? No doubt I'd probably do the same lol
