the problem with the "redesigned" ending of ME3, was that it didn't clear anything up...in fact, it made things MORE confusing.. not to mention the heaps of evidence to support the indoctrination theory, AND the cinematic after the credits, suggesting that shepard didn't actually die, and that the ending wasn't actually as it appeared..... the ending to ME3 is still the most aggravating kick in the nuts in a game...it's confusing, and dumb, and really poorly executed. the only thing that comes close to it, in terms of lousiness, is the entirety of Halo 4's story...
