I went into this game expecting some massive clusterfuck due to how infamous the ending is and I really don’t see the issue. It was fine. Has shit been patched since release? Also I installed the extended cut if that makes things different.
Can someone explain the hate for Mass Effect 3’s ending(s)?

I expected the same when I played it for the first time years ago it just seems to be man-children complaining relentlessly.

I can't blame the ending entirely. Mass Effect 3 as a whole just rushed the shit out of the story and felt like some sort of Michael Bay schlock. At least the ending was somewhat in line with the recurring theme of creator vs creation.

The extended cut isn't the original ending.
The original had no real closure, the game just ended after the relays exploded.

If you weren't here in 2012 you could not possibly understand.

>Has shit been patched since release?
Yes. The ending got a extended cut which didnt really fix much when you think but gives you at least a hint at something.
It also received a Day 1 DLC with the Prothean and later another Story DLC that retroactively tried to make sense of their shoehorned ending. I dont count Omega and Citadel DLC since they were leftover assets from ME2
The original ending literally had the starchild give you no answers, the relays blew up in all endings and the last thing we saw was the normandy crashing on the planet along with the space scene with the old guy and kid talking about the shepard
Other than that there was nothing but a BUY OUR DLC SCREEN that appeared. The hatred was 100% justified

Same boat as you. Played it last year and I also didn’t see the issue.
Did some research and apparently the devs said that the ending would be based on choices made throughout the first 3 games, rather than just a generic ‘hurr durr pick an ending’ where everything gets the same ending regardless. I can understand how in 2012 that would have pissed people the fuck off, but playing the games as a trilogy in 2020 you’re probably not going to care about that.
There was also some lore issues but that’s mostly just autism.
