I personally never got the bashing it got over the actual ending. The concept was sound, they 'tried' to explain it but I think what people were really angry is what actually happened. After all your choices, good or bad, then at the end it was essentially the same thing 3 times over. No, 2 times, as I played the game without multiplayer first time and never got that 3rd option. I was so angry at this you wouldn't believe. Imagine if you don't pay for XBL Gold, you will never get to see that 3rd option. |
Makes me glad I played it on PC 
There were other ways to get your galaxy readiness up if you didn't have access to multiplayer though. I used to play Mass Effect Infiltrator (Android) and you can trade in intel to increase your readiness score. I think the iOS datapad app also had a way to improve your readiness.
