That alternate ending is epic. I love it. It's what should have happened.
I try not to think too much about what we were given, because that other rant at the top of the page also nailed what's wrong with the ending.
It's not that there's the chance for a bad, or flawed ending. It's that all the choices we were given resound mightily of fatalism. That in the end, what we fight so hard to build is in fact a Master Reaper, who "rewards" his creators by killing them. And all because they proved the Reaper-solution is flawed and doesn't work in all situations. In short, the Master Reaper is throwing a temper tantrum and smashing all the toys. And we're supposed to accept this.
The existing endings are just totally wrong. That said, I enjoy the multiplayer, and have played it a fair bit. I love the games aside from that ending. And if you look at the entire third game as and extended "ending", then you *do* get to see how all the plotlines are tied up. It's just the *final* plotline they totally dropped the ball with.
