Thanks for posting it, but I'm not going to watch 40 minutes of complaints, most of which I doubt I will agree with. I'm not going to watch it or seek out other videos and articles like it for the following very good reason. I liked Mass Effect 3's ending so I'm not in need of information about why it sucked.
Mass Effect 3's ending is polarizing. That means people like it others don't. That means it's a matter of taste and nobody is right or wrong about their opinions on it. Some guy talking for 40 minutes is going to change my mind just like my reasons for liking it aren't going to change your opinion.
I do still suggest that people let it go and stop taking it so serious. Some people are acting like it's some great injustice that they don't like the ending. There are people who hate the ending of the Hunger Games trilogy, I liked it. Any time you have a beloved franchise with people invested in long running characters, when it all comes to an end, there will be people who are disappointed that it didn't go the way they envisioned. Those people need to let it go and realize that it wasn't their job to envision an ending, Bioware where the visionaries and they made it the way they wanted. I liked what they did, you didn't. Both are valid points of view.
Personally I hope they don't change the ending too much because even though it might make fans happy I'd hate to see their art changed by popular vote. Art is supposed to be taken as is.

Arthur Conan Doyle changed his art by popular vote, not many complaints about that decision now =P

That's not quite the way it happened. It's true that he killed Holmes off and his devoted fans wheren't happy about it. But, he didn't republish the book with an altered ending. Several years later he wrote a short story that explained how Holmes had faked his death.
I don't want Bioware to alter the ending of ME3, but I wouldn't have a problem with a 4th game adding to the story. ME3's ending was open ended enough to alow Bioware to do almost anything with a 4th game.
