That's probably the most entertaining of the video analysis and I agree with most of the point he makes. Especially the narrative coherence.

Every story has plot holes and a lot of people defending ME3 ending tries to point out well ME 1 and ME 2 has plot holes as well. However in isolation people can suspend their disbelief and overlook them. However when you have many plot holes bunch together, the story falls apart.

The depersonalised ending is completely accurate as well. you develop relationship with the crew throughout the entire game and we don't see how the death of shepard effects the rest of the crew.. To me that (as well as shaking hands with the main villain of the series and the greatest mass murderer in galactic history which I felt the video overlooked that) was one of the worst aspect of the game

Although saying that, I'm not too sure about the "abandonment of genre". The ending was sci-fi as well as techy and talking. It was just a techy and talking ending that has a theme more suited to Deus Ex than MAss Effect series. I think abandoment of themes was a more appropriate critcism then abandonment of genre.

I think the shooting the catalyst was overused. it was funny the first time but it kind of got repetitive later on.
