Bottom line, no. However it was better. I liked how the Normandy was repaired and then flew off, and the epilogue with the fleets flying past the damaged Mass Relays (I've only played the destroy new ending so far). What I didn't care for was seeing Zaieed relaxing in his armour, but then again, would I recognize him in civvies? I also didn't care for the Normandy flying in to pick up my injured squad-mates, if the shuttle came in, fine (there were two on board), but not the whole ship into the warzone when Harbinger was right there. While it was not perfect I do think that the extended ending is better. Mass Effect 3, despite its faults, is still the best in the series.
