I really liked Mass Effect, and loved 2 and 3.
I even loved the ending of 3. There. I said it.

Remember how awesome that one Reaper was in the first Mass Effect and how everyone had to work together to stop it?
ME3 gets double that and it's like... "Uhh, yeah we have Reapers but we're doing other stuff now. Oh, and Cerberus! They're bad people!"
Not impressed.
ME3 explained that as not all Reapers are "Sovereign-class." Some are tinier and weaker.
Makes sense to me.
I'm with Mr. Carny that I found the endings alright. I mean, I chose the Synthesis ending, and while I'm sad that Death-related Spoilers!Shepard dies, I thought the ending was great. Maybe slightly vague, but conclusive enough for me. I didn't feel short-changed. I don't get the bad press about the ending, personally.
My only problem with the ending is that I had the ending spoiled for me and it killed my enjoyment of the game because I knew what the ending was.
I'll get back to it eventually.
I never played ME1 though I have the ME Trilogy for PS3 and will get to it eventually. I'm not sure if I'll take this character through the other games and make different choices since these games are so long. I don't know if I have time for that.
I loved ME2. Definitely one of the best games of last gen. I was a Sentinel and that tech armor saved my ass dozens of times. I also romanced Jack and we had a torrid affair and I kept everyone alive at the end.
ME3 was great as well. I understand the criticism for the ending, and yes those last 5 minutes were pretty BS, but I saw the whole game being the ending of that series. There were so many threads to tie up and it did a good job of doing so throughout the game rather than putting it all in the last hour or so. I do wish the ending incorporated more of the player choices throughout the series rather than a generic 'pick one of these three options for the end' that disregarded everything that happened before that.

I thought it was fairly clear. I mean, it was obvious the Reaper you saw on Tuchanka was not as large as Sovereign. Plus, it looked quite different.
EDI explained the different classes of Reaper in an optional bit of dialogue on board the Normandy. She gave comparisons of sizes and everything. It is completely optional, so you could miss it.
It's also explained in the codex.
