I find that unlikely. You don't need data to see that most of the people who played Mass Effect 3 were disappointed with a bad ending. It's been proven that the writing of the ending is terrible. It's much more unreasonable to say that a majority did like it. That's like saying most people probably weren't surprised by the plot twist in The Sixth Sense. Would you honestly find everyone who watched the movie and ask them in order to find a proper percentage? No. However, given the nature of the writing, it's safe to say most were surprised, notwithstanding the occasional anomaly.

How I felt about the ending is irrelevant. I've analysed the writing of ending (as many others have) from an objective point of view. What I "like" doesn't come into it. Simply because an ending is well-written doesn't mean I'll like it, or vice versa. I enjoyed many moments from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, despite how ridiculous the plot is.

And just so you know, I do not have high standards. As I've said, I love Heavy Rain, but that doesn't mean the writing is downright terrible at times. It can be however, enjoyed on an emotional level, rather than an analytical one. That's something at least. Mass Effect disappoints not only because it's unsatisfying and doesn't do what endings are supposed to do, but also because it's full of inconsistencies, logical errors, and confusion. The latter has been thankfully addressed by the Extended Cut, but not entirely. I'm unconcerned with how other people feel about the ending, I'm just here to explain that it is broken.
