The trilogy is perfectly salvageable up until the last couple of scenes. Yeah there was some dumb stuff like that one cyborg samurai dude (the fuck was his name again?) and half of your choices ended up not mattering at all, but the good parts of ME3 were the high points of the entire series (see: Tuchanka) and all it needed to put a nice satisfying bow on the end of the trilogy was a scene of Shepherd powering up the crucible and blasting the shit out of hundreds of robots and winning the war. It would have been a cool inversion of the usual trope too - in Star Wars the rebels have to destroy the Death Star, but in Mass Effect you have to build the Death Star.
