Re: Inspired by #4...
Mass Effect. I'm not even going into all my feelings about that, because we could be here all day. All in all I'm not as upset about it as I was, but...I just found the entire thing to be disappointing and anti-climatic. I expected too much. (Hype is evil.)
As for good endings, I know a lot of fans weren't enthused by it, but I adored Uncharted 3's ending. I thought it wrapped things up nicely, and even though that series is one of my favorites, I would've been okay leaving things there. I almost don't want Naughty Dog to continue on with the series because I really, really liked where it left off and don't think they need to keep 'tempting fate'. At some point I feel like a screw up is inevitable.
...I honestly can't think of many tv shows I like that have ended with great endings. (And so many of the ones I like are still on-going.) Er...I was one of the few to actually like House's ending? Not necessarily all of the last (few) season(s) or anything, but the very end, I thought it was fitting. Depressing, but it wasn't going to end any other way.

Re: Inspired by #4...
I hate the Catalyst SO much. SO MUCH. Can't believe you have to listen to that little blue punk go on about how storing humans in reaper form is somehow saving the galaxy and then you actually have to choose between options that he gives you. It irritates me that you can't win the old fashioned way, with your war assets. Couldn't the crucible have been a regular weapon? I know it would've been predictable, but then you wouldn't have the catalyst, and I'm convinced almost anything would make up for that.
Plus, for the ending of a major trilogy, the final battles were a let down. The fact that you only took your couple of your team with you and never even saw any of your war assets stupefied me. What was the point in amassing them in the first place? Imagine if you could have planned strategies (maybe sort of like in ME2 where you gave your team orders and the success of the mission, and the outcome of their safety depended on it), fought beside Krogan and Hanar and Drell. An ending where you amass an army then don't ever see them actually fight is wasted potential.
I'm always going to be bitter about that. I just think it could've been so much more unique and interesting had there been some strategy and had it involved the people and groups you'd brought together earlier in the game. I don't like most the final choices, either. Or Shepard having to make the choice for EVERYONE. Synthesis in particular gives me the creeps and control just seems arrogant and impossible.
Ugh, BioWare...
Re: Inspired by #4...
Plus, most of it just doesn't make any logical sense. It suddenly swerves into really sloppy writing. The final choices are bullshit. It's really anti-climactic because it's like all three go against what all three games have built up to. I think they were trying for something deep and meaningful but just got confusing and stupid. (Also morally repugnant.)
Also, this isn't really ending related but I was so angry about Javik. He constituted most of the Collector's Edition. That's bullshit. It was just so much bullshit. I got the collector's edition but was so disappointed with what I got. I never preorder games now.
Re: Inspired by #4...
I hate the state the end of the game leaves the ME universe in, I hate how it feels like your choices don't really matter that much, I hate...god, I hate so much. SO MUCH.
I never even got to recruit Javik. (Or the other DLC characters.) I even brought my xbox over to my brothers house in the attempt of downloading the Collector's Edition stuff but I fucked it up and it didn't work. IMO pre-orders are rarely worth it. I don't even bother anymore unless I just want to be sure I get a copy of the game day one.
Re: Inspired by #4...
We pretty much hate everything. *fistbump of solidarity* I personally, also have a problem with the growing sexism in the series. It's like it gets worse with each game. Which is... weird and backwards.
That sucks balls man. I wish I could help you with that.
