I realize as I type this, nothing will come of it.  I know this is going to get lost in the 1000+ pages of angry posts, but I have to get this out.  I need to type this just to feel like I tried.

I did not like the Mass Effect 3 ending...yeah I know, big shocker.  At the end of the first two games, everytime, I felt satisfied by the end.  I felt like I had accomplished something amazing.  I felt GOOD.  Even if I knew that there was more to come, I still felt amazing.  For both 1 and 2, right after that first run through I would jump to the Main Menu and press New Game.  I felt like I could do it better, make better choices, get a better ending.  The ending made me happy, even if it wasnt always a good one, I KNEW I could get that one perfect ending if I tried a little bit harder.

Enter Mass Effect 3, amazing story, gameplay, and everything else that I love about the series.  I get to the end and the feeling I was expecting wasn't there.  I didn't feel good.  I felt confused, angry, irritated.  It made no sense.  I couldn't work it out.  What's worse is that I know that no matter how hard I try, no matter what tactics I use, I KNOW that there is no hope for my Shepard.  My choices are death or destruction.  It isn't fair.  I don't play games to feel angry or bitter.  I want to have a good time.  I want to feel amazing after I overcome the Monsters, but that doesn't happen at the end.  I feel like the choices I've made over the years lead to nothing.

I wanted to play through it again, I wanted to feel the way I did with 1 and 2, but I can't.  I don't feel the same sense of HOPE I did with the others.  I can't ever see myself playing through the entire series like I wanted to because I know that there is no hope for my Shepard and that makes me sad.

I don't believe you can fix this.  I don't believe you will even try.  The Single Player DLC that you will ship won't interest me, because I know in the end...it doesn't matter.  My Shep's story will always end poorly and I don't want that.

I get what you were trying to do.  I understand that you wanted an ending that people will talk about, that people will remember.  The thing is...I was always going to remember Mass Effect.  Just like I remember Star Wars.  It really was that good.  You have accomplished what you wanted, but not in the way you wanted.  Im going to remember the dissapointment.  Im going to remember being confused.  Im going to remember being angry.  Im going to remember that after years and years of build-up and hope...in the last five minutes, you failed.

We all feel your pain friend.

I just finished the game last night .   I really don't participate in online forums at all but wanted to say Im glad to see I'm not alone in my shock on how, what is up until the last 10 mintues, a fantastic series ended. 

The game now has exactly zero replay value to me.  All those decisions in the first two games, and my almost completed Evil Shep in ME2 I was planning to finish and import to ME3 once my first play through was done....  well there doesn't seem to be much point to it now.

The game itself is fantastic right up until the end.  I can't remeber the last game that got my heart pounding as much as this one.  On Earth you're running across open ground into a reaper's beam weapon.  Everyone and everything around you is getting vaporized.  You're getting closer and closer to the Citadel beam and the culimnation of all the good you did, or havoc you caused over three games.  Then you get there and are left screaming, "Who are you and what did you do with my Shepard"

It was a great series of games and fun to play through, but finding everything that I did up until the end only lets me pick what color the galaxy goes boom in really takes the whole experiance of the trilogy down few notches for me.

Tell me, what would you do, if the great announcement came tommorrow, and it turned out to be just about a MP or regular single player content (but not regarding the endings)?

Would this go on, or would the war of the end be lost?

The war will then be decided when the next game comes with epic announcement and promises and noone buying it.
After all in the real world we are the god-like-reaper-child and this is our solution to the chaos:P

Huh.

Seems they want to know if there was anything good about the ending at all. Bit of a different thing than they've been asking up until now.

...

What?

Nothing. I enjoyed nothing about the ending. Nothing at all.

I liked the music. Oh, and the picture of Anderson, he looked like he was having a good day.

Touche. I did enjoy the music and Anderson scene. That's the greatest thing about this series, is the depth of emotional involvement it evokes.

Then the ghost of young Anakin appears and messes it all up.

I chose the synthesis ending. At first I thought it was beautiful and creepy at once. Then it made me sad. Not in a good way, either. I'm actually in tears over the whole thing. The game started by breaking my heart (the little boy), and ended in the same fashion. I don't think I'll ever be able to bring myself to play it again. I don't want a perfect ending. It's just that I've invested so much emotion into this universe and its characters. Seeing absolutely everything going to hell for Shepard and every character on the Normandy. And on top of that, having galactic civilization destroyed. What does it matter that Shepard helped the quarians get their homeworld back when they'll never be able to go there anyway? Unless they were all magically teleported there when the relay exploded (like the Normandy), the largest part of their fleet is stuck in the Sol system. Along with every member of every galactic fleet in the universe.

I'm sorry. This was too much. I loved the focus on emotion in this game. It's one of it's greatest strengths. But this was way too much for me. Who cares that the Reapers are gone when the galaxy that Shepard fought for, and that I cared about, is still destroyed?

how would you do a regular SP DLC? Shep is probably "dead", there is no normandy, uncertain fate of the other squadmates, and whatnot.
You'd need to add it as some side mission to gain more war assets. And this, this would be utterly BS

Hey, can anyone with a twitter respond to that for me (swore I'd never get a twitter) and tell them I liked Anderson's death sequence, but I liked the cut version even more?

Just did. Was thinking the same myself. WHY did they cut such an emotional scene from the game?

That's why we're here Abe, to at the very least try.  Nice, eloquent post.  Venting does help ease the feeling of helpless defeat which comes with watching the 3 different coloured mushroom clouds destroy the universe you helped build over five years.  It helps, I promise.

I was going to rewatch Firefly, but the way that all ended made me miserable as hell too.  I'm going to play Skyrim and shoot arrows at the faces of all the small boys I can find.  They are all starchild and must die.
