I watched the extended endings and was a little bit more satisfied than prior. But, in all honesty, I thought the ending was fairly good for the destroy all synthetic life in the galaxy ending to begin with. I was perfectly pleased with it all minus the hatch opening at the very end. I didn't feel cheated as a lot of gamers did because I kind of expected this type of game play and ending based on what the second game had become.
I thought the extended ending did in fact explain each choice much more clearly and also helped fill in the gap as to why everybody was back on the Normandy. The few holes that were obvious were mostly fixed, and I still feel the ending was at the very least decent.
I will be honest, the ending was not ideal, but I am a person who thought ME1 was much better than ME2 or 3 and was mad they moved away from many RPG aspects of the game. I believe that for a 3rd person shooter(which is what it had become in the latter 2 installments) the ending was very satisfactory.
I did watch all the endings, but only played through 1 so I can understand some of the hatred towards certain outcomes. I still believe, even with the extended ending that the synthesis ending(which is probably the best alternative of the 3) was still lackluster and didn't really show anything. I wish they would have actually changed some of the ending factors not just the ending cutscenes for each one, but I honestly believe that they did not care enough to go into that much detail and actually change decisions that were made previously, instead of just the last option in the game. I am sad for this, but what else can you expect for a company that now is a subsidiary of EA that tries to "appeal to a broader audience"?
