That would be all well and good near the start of development etc, when they are promising this and that. But when the game is finished (And they said it was finished 3 months before release), to promise such things is just false lies, and imo was done to troll fans.

NOTE: THE IS SPOILERS IN THIS POST, SO DONT READ IT IF YOU STILL HAVE NOT FINISHED ME3.

It could of effect the ending alot. instead they choose to give you 3 options that all have the one outcome, i mean do you really think shaped would pick to destory the mass relays knowing all them other races etc would be trapped in sol?. Why didn't they give us an option to save the mass relays etc??. why would you're crew be running away??.  Anyway imo Shaped is knocked out after being hit with the beam. That's why in the good ending you see him breathing, and bioware will give us the rest of the game in an expension pack, Not dlc i hope. as i wouldn't mind paying for an expension pack, but i would be pissed if i had to pay for dlc with the real ending in it.

Like I said. It doesn't matter when or how they promise things in a game...you just never listen to them. That should be one of the cardinal rules of gaming.

And really all of what you did in all 3 ME games boiled down to 1 thing in ME3...saving humanity and other races from getting destroyed by the Reapers. There just isn't a whole lot of room for choice there. Really all they could have done is add a few small things in some of those cutscenes that showed the impact of your choices in the games. 

I could have sworn that at least one of the options wouldn't destroy the Mass Relays. As for the crew running away...well I'm not sure. (that could be one of the plot holes or it could be a use your imagination and fill in the blanks) I imagine Bioware made it that way to give a dramatic effect to the end.

Nope, all the ending's the mass relays get destoryed. As we seen in ME2 destorying a Mass Relay means destorying that galaxy. So pretty much in all the endings Shaped destoryed earth, plus god only knows how many other galaxy's that had Mass Relays, and whatever races was there too. so that was a great ending don't ya think??. They could of giving us the option of not destorying the mass relays and using that weapon they where building to destory/ weaken the reapers. and if it did only weaking the reapers, this is where the war assets would come into play, as going by how many you had would mean you win or lose.

I admit, that would have been nice. I don't understand why the Mass Relays had to explode for every ending but I think the boy race/ascended being had something to do with that. I think a lot of the negativity around the ending is simply because it's quite an unhappy ending. Nobody wants Shephard to die nor the systems with mass relays to be destroyed. Also I don't know if Earth was necessarily destroyed since Sol's Mass Relay is so far away past even Pluto.
