Hey,
I'm pretty sure this is my first post ever on these forums. BUT I've been reading through about 600 pages during the past 7 days and I just wanted to say that I really appreciate what you're doing and that you pretty much helped me out after I finished ME3.
I got my CE a day early, so on wednesday last week. I've been looking forward to that since the end of ME2, so I wasn't surprised I beat ME3 in about 2 days (i know i know...nerd/freak blabla ;-)). There were lots of ups and downs, it's been an incredible journey for me since I've loved the first two games and its characters. I took 4 days off just to play ME3 and it was just brilliant, I couldn't wait to see how it all ends and kept thinking what to do different on my 2nd playthrough, based on what my decisions would do to the outcome of the story.
Those last 5 minutes were just the biggest let down I ever experienced during my video gaming history. I'm 25years old, I had a c64 and an amiga from my dad, 3 gameboys, a SNES, N64, Dreamcast, PS 1+2+3, Xbox/360 and never felt that bad at the ending of a story. All those plot holes, this apparently unfinished style of story telling at the end, godchild, spacemagic, a complete turnaround on the most basic and crucial principles of the ME Universe - the freedom of choice, infinite possibilities to play YOUR way and sheps ability to resist in conversations - and all the other stuff that was mentioned many times before.
It was like 6am here in Germany on Friday when I finished, and a (red) spacemagic explosion just destroyed anything ME has been for me over the last 5 years. I haven't been really sad or dissapointed at that point. I was just like.....nothing, empty. Not even tired, just empty. I never thought it was possible for me to be beaten down like that by a VIDEO GAME!?!? After like 3 hours of sleep I got to this forum and, you know, it just felt right to be here. As I read through this topic I started to understand that nearly everybody was feeling the way I do, that the problem is not me, it's the game. All those opinions, you tube videos, pictures, articles and theories were just the only thing I could really focus on (especially as I still had 2 days off - as I told you before I planned to be on my 2nd playthrough by that time) and what can I tell you, I'm better now ;-)
So sorry for this wall of text, especially as my english is really bad, but I wanted to thank you for catching me in this worst case videogame scenario. Sounds too dramatic I know, but thx anyway ;-) The only thing left to say....
German fleet reporting in. We hold the line.
Well said and well reasoned. We are proud to have you among us...
And on the topic, I beat the game 37 hours after I finished it. I had downloaded the game in advance, and played 37 hours straight without sleep and hardly any food. I just wanted to finish it, to get the closure I looked for. Instead I felt as you did, empty, hollow, as if I had just lost something very dear to me. As someone said (on the 1000+ pages prior to this one):
"I felt like standing in the althar waiting to get married, only to find out my fiancee is leaving me for the postman..."
Nearly a week has gone by, but the shock is still present...

And Hold the Line...
