Whats wrong with it? o.O Only thing that can get quite annoying is that scan you have to go through after pretty much any mission.
That and it looks terrible. It's all dark and incomplete now. I'm hoping later on in the game, it'll be more refined so it doesn't look like some high tech collector ship.

Lame. Also, this multi disk set up thing is retarded for 360. It was fine in ME2, you only needed disk 1 for the beginning mission and ending mission. For ME3, I was on disk 1 until I decided to take on a side quest and then it told me to insert disk 2. After I finished the side quest, I went to do my main quest, and it told me to put in disk 1. DA FUQ. This is some hard bullshit if I have to keep switching from disk 1/2 to play side quests and main quests together.

It's probably bad luck with the quests you chose. I've been playing on disc 2 for the past 10 hours of my game probably doing all sorts of things o.O

I guess you're right, but there is a massive war going on. You can't expect your ship to be all nice and peachy x)

Several crew members mention that the Normandy was rushed into service before its refit could be completed. Hence why in some sections it looks unfinised, dark and generally messy.
It lauched from Earth as the Reapers attacked and its not like since the start of the war its going to have time to find a nice quite unused dry-dock and finish the job.

Still. What's up with the scanning to go to the war/comm room? It'll make you stand still for 2 seconds, but still an annoyance

My biggest complaint. I like to get comfy and play games.. not get up after finishing a 10 minute or less side quest to switch discs.

Same. My Xbox is in my bedroom; so I like to lay down and wrap myself in a blanket when I game. Getting up every 30 minutes to change disks is a giant pain in the ass.

Those last ending 5 minutes with that stupid Farking alien holo ruined the whole series for me. All my decisions from ME1, ME2, and ME3 boiled down to three choices that were BASICALLY THE SAME THING. Either kill all life, or destroy all technology and either way all the relays die and everyone is stranded where they are. So that makes trillions of people from all the different species you recruited STUCK ON EARTH!!

Considering it destroyed all technology, which would have been their ships, the ones in space probably just died. No life support, no engines...

That makes it even worse, but I am assuming some troops were on the ground too. WHo knows, the amount of plot holes in the ending makes anything possible...

From what I've heard EA made Bioware rush the ending because of time constraints. Apparently there will be a free dlc called the Truth. Info: http://i.imgur.com/xjXdX.png

Edit: I don't know if this is true.
As far as I know, none of that has been confirmed.
Some interesting threads if anyone feels like going through endless amounts of pages:

Just finished it, I already knew about the weird endings so it didn't bum me out that much. But the ending sure was weird for me.
Spoiler!
As stated in the first link olan showed. I had Liara with me during the final mission and after I destroyed the reapers she apparently decided to step out of the normandy with Joker and Garrus. dafuq?! I really hope that 'The Truth' DLC is real because I want a proper ending where I can live happily ever after with Liara and our little blue babies

Just finished the game a few seconds ago and all i can say is....
Spoiler!
After everything we learn that the Reapers are being controlled by an advanced AI called the "catalyst" which for some stupid reason believes that mutilating and killing all advaned life in the galaxy is a good thing? For what? to stop arftifical life from being created which it thinks will then wipe out the creators of said life and cause chaos....then how does it explain the Geth and the Quarians getting along now?
As for the 3 choices at the end its just a load of crap and such an awful ending, not because of the 3 choices but can someone explain why the Normany is travling in FTL and not involved in the battle around Earth? and what does that even mean when Jeff, Liara and Garrus step onto that jungle/forrest world anyway?
...I did like that old man telling his grandson stories about "The Sheapard"...adds a nice tone to how Commander Sheapard becomes a legend in the galaxy.

Check this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynYgr1rqEec It shows how the last part was a dream/hallucination where they try to indoctrinate Shepard. It makes alot more sense but the endings do suck. It's a shame really :/
Just started 2nd run, male renegade adept with most of the choices different from my 1st run =]
/Edit: About the disc switching, I had to do it maybe 4/5 times the whole game o.O I mean it shouldn't be necessary but it's not that bad

Why in the hell do we have to switch BACK to disc one for the Ending though? That makes no sense. Not sure if I believe the endings being Indoctrinations, no real "Proof" just speculation.

Probably because for the large cinematic.
It was like this for ME2, disk 1 was only used for the opening and first mission, and closing and last mission. It made sense.
ME3 however, has me Farking switching from disk 1/2 every time I choose to switch from main quest/side quest.
I wish installing the disk on your Xbox did something other than just make load times shorter.

Cuz of my first playthrough I thought you were just whining but now I'm in my 2nd I have to switch it like crazy too. I guess it depends on the way you do the missions. Switched like 5 times and I don't even have turian support yet ._.
