Massive spoilers, yo.
The story is atrocious. The ending is full of plot holes and inconsistencies. Massive deus ex machina at the end. Th reapers are nothing like their ME1 selves. Also, all the 'different' endings have about 5 seconds difference between them, and the colour of a big explosion is changed. That's it. Ask if you want to know mroe about the plot holes etc. The story really is the biggest offense here, everything below just adds to it.
The ending ending scene is copy pasted from a deviantart image. Google image search 'winter space'. Or I have a picture to show you.
Tali's face, while not revealed in-game, is seen once when Shepard sees a picture of her. The picture is literally a royalty-free stock image (ask me for proof if you want, again) of a human model with some cheap effects added to it. As in, they made it purple and photoshopepd off her fingers. And made her eyes glow.
Shephard sees a flashback of the three most important people in his life, at a 'SO DEEP AND EMOTIONAL' point in the game. The last one he sees is the romance option you chose. Thing is, if you romanced somebody in ME2, or even Tali, this cutscene will ONLY show Liara.
No gamepad support for PC (even though they released an ME3 branded gamepad....)
Importing saves of from previous games is fucked, your custom Shephard will not look the same in ME3, many options being simply removed.
The animations, especially facial animations, are frankly terrible. I'll link you a scene if you want, again just ask.
EDI is now a sex-doll robot with tits and eyelashes. I don't think that's lazy, just fucking stupid.
Male naked model is the same for all males (same moles and blemishes etc) making the homosexual scenes rather funny.
2D Sprites are used in large city environments and a disco. Ask for video.
Protheans are retconned to not look like they did in ME1 (the statues of them) and are instead just slightly-off looking collectors. With Jamaican accents.
Edit: Adding to the spoiler ball. Many side-quests are MMO-style fetch quests. It's actually quite pathetic; you just hear this one guy on a 'call' to someone else talking about an item on a planet that he wants. This conversation loops. Forever. And you have to go collect 10 wolf plets, or whatever the sci fi equivalent is. Also, a lot of these missions involve just dropping you in those 'arena' environments from the multiplayer. Exhilarating.
Pacing is completely off. You start with Earth in a dire situation, reapers everywhere, shit is going doown, and it's not getting better. Then you jet off from Earth and hang with bros, do menial sidequests and bang some space-ass for a few weeks. (Mentioned in game: weeks). All the while Earth is getting fucked up the ass by tons of reapers. Remember the ONE reaper in ME1 that could've caused the end of the current 'life cycle' all by itself in one night? Yeh, bit of a difference.
Length. This one is 30 hours if you're a completionist, compared to average 45 hours in ME2. This is from an EA employee talking to Jeff Gerstmann at Giantbomb.
Oh, lol EDI also has mega-cameltoe when you put her in Miranda's suit. Like, titanic size. Definitely a priority from Bioware. Ask for pictures if you want. Perve.
Expect to change discs on the 360 A LOT. It seems like the side-missions are on the second disc or something.
There are probably more, but this is what I could come up with for now. Ok, now I've been adding to it. Look at that grey box. It's huge. Like EDI's cameltoe.
