"But our War Assets are acknowledged in the first cutscene. Remember Joker says which fleets are arriving. That wasn't enough for you? Me neither."

Well, how about the geth and/or quarian ships appearing in the space battle? Or the appearance or absence of various races during the final mission depending on whether you had any War Assets of the race (such as krogan and salarian)? Or the references to your War Assets during the Forward Operations Base, including a scene of four different potential characters giving speeches based on your War Assets?

I'd think that you haven't done more than a single playthrough, but I get the feeling that you haven't even seen the ending once.
