quick queston if you do play a NG+ do you get to keep any of your war assets?


I cna't even figure out how to get to NG+ =.= There is no option for it. And if I try to start a new game, it won't let me import my ME3 character. WTF?



...  Uh, can anyone confirm that, and also, what platform?  I was reasonably sure that people have already started on NG+, if not completed.


Platform for me is the PC and 1 more how realistic is to try and ge 5000 war assets without playing the MP


I got over 5K war assets fairly easy. Make sure you explore every system and scan, Cure the Genophage, Make peace for the Geth and Quarians, Citadel assignments, etc.


I cured the genophage, did every mission, made peace with the Geth and Quarians and only got slightly more then 3000.. I needed to do the MP to up it.

So you got > 10,000 in total war assets???  I call BS


No I didn't get 10,000 in total war assets. I know I got above 5K. I'll check when I'm feeling up to putting Mass Effect 3 in the tray.

Anyone feel that the Stargazer was mocking them at the end of the game for having to sit through such a stupid ending for our legend of 'the shepard'?

Also: the breath tease for my >5000 EMS destroy ending annoyed me more than anything else.

How many people had their LI commit suicide? LOL... It happened to me.


..and I thought -I- had it bad.. guess you probably should have talked to her after Tessia fell... you know, rather then go hit on Allers down in engineering *cough* hahaha


Wait, what?

Are you saying that more than one squadmate could end up offing themselves?


Depending on whether you did stuff I would imagine so.. All of my characters made it through, I got all the options because I spent 44 hours on this first playthrough just to make sure I could get the 'best' ending possible.  If you don't do the Lt Cortez citadel memorial wall part he crashes/dies on the final mission, I'm guessing Liara commits suicide (probably if you don't do the talk to her mission after Tessia when Tali and Garrus both are really worried about her).

I helped Tali get her home world back and now she is stuck in some random planet and the Qurians are stuck in the Sol System.. >.>;


Yeah, every time I start trying to somehow rationalize the psychobabble, I remember stuff like this and I feel horrible again.  Then I try to rationalize this and remember the psychobabble.  It's like a circulating fountain of awful.

I have to say I've been looking and responding to these posts and forums since I beat the game at 1 AM this morning. I just couldn't sleep then exhaustion took me at 3 AM I was so upset that was the only way I was able to sleep. I tried playing another game but couldn't, like other posters, can't even really watch tv.

My husband just put on some South Park to try and bring me up... not holding much hope though.

I would like help with one thing, how to I add those tags at the bottom of my post? So i can include the poll and the retake ME endings and all the other ones?

You're not alone, KT. The only video gaming I've done since "beating" ME3 is a short bit of Guitar Hero III, which I hadn't played in a long time (and this came across in the plonks and wails of missed notes). Haven't watched any TV, haven't watched any of my movies, haven't even worked on any of my plastic model kits. I just feel emotionally drained and numb, unable to invest myself into anything else (save the upcoming move into a better condo) besides hoping that the devs see all this and take it to heart.

And yes, I'm a little worried about myself when something so seemingly trivial as a video game trilogy can affect me like this. A lot of us seem to be wrestling with similar conflicting desires, never mind the sheer unprecedented scale of this movement so close after launch.


Thank you both, KT and Goodwood.

I am in the same spot, feeling somehow emotionally empty after playing through ME3.

I know it is normal to show emotions to fictional things like books, movies or games (Finaly Fantasy VII anyone?), and I admit, I had tears in my eyes during several scenes in all ME parts. But normally you shed some tears, are happily sad for some 30 minutes and everything is back to normal.

But I was not prepared for the emotional emptiness which happend to me after the game, which got me worried too, because becoming so down for a "silly thing" as a video game seemed too "nerdy", even for me, but now I see I am not the only one feeling this way.

It's not that I wanted a Shepard-dancing-with-LI-on-a-green-meadow style ending, even the need to sacrifice him/her would be fine if it was properly explained and orchestrated.

A little bit more background after the last decision would be nice, where everyone ended up, what happened on other planets, how I as the player affected the whole galaxy with my actions.

But just bamm, mass relays destroyed, crash-land, three members getting out, black screen, credits ... I am feeling as if there are at least 5 minutes of story missing delivering the real needed closure.

They could have even incorporated that into the Stargazer-Ending and have Buzz Aldrin provide a voice over of some pre-rendered scenes with a summary of the story after the end of the reapers. Let this last about 2 minutes which allows the player to be able to softly drift back into reality instead of throwing her/him out of the game with an ejection seat.

Each day that passes more and more players disappointed with the ending are joining the movement


This, I predict in the coming weeks  the numbers will increase greatly

Our numbers will darken the sky of every world.


Consider how many people are signing up to this site just to voice their displeasure.

There's a BioWare panel on April 8th at PAX East. It's an open Q&A so you'll get answers there at the latest if there is no word by then.


Anyone in Boston?? I wish I could go...:crying:


I'm going! I've tried to drum up support for a unified movement! We need to organize a united front, and hold the line. Show them we stand as one - that we demand closure and quality. That we won't deal with their mystical fantasy schlock in our Mass Effect. Who's with me!?


I have myself and a solid 5 additional people who plan to attend as well, so maybe that unified movment is just the thing Bioware needs to see. If Shepard can unite the Geth and the Quarians, then Bioware can fix this mistake for its loyal masses.

New game folks. We can all go and pretend we're EA as we play "lemmings" and pretend each lemming is one of the expected costomers...

Finished it today.
The entire game was a superb work of art... right up to the point where hackett says the crucible isnt firing... after that everything just turns.... crap.

And the whole Normandy thing? whats up with that, it does not make any sense at all.
Why is the Normandy suddenly traveling between relays when she is supposed to be engaged fighting the reapers around earth?
And how did the crew get back to the ship with the reapers still alive and kicking, and having wiped out more than half of Hammer on the approach alone?

Does not make any kind of sense whatsoever.
Its like the HDD's storing all the ending materials crashed and all they could retrieve were bits and pieces they pasted together.

To me it's not just the lack of closure I got on the universe.  It's that I no longer care about something I cared deeply for not 5 days ago.  There's a hole there now, and I'm not quite sure what to do about it.

Ok...this is freaky...very freaky.

When the background throb starts in 1:39 of this video, I can feel my chair and body vibrating.

When it stops, the vibration stops. I am wearing headphones, and my volume via the windows slider is virtually non-existent.

Just how much of a psychological impact is this game having on me if even just this little bit of sound causes a physiological reaction in me?

Further proof of the awesomeness that was this game up until the ending.

Do you guys use this thread as a sort of support group to fight the dark depression building inside you? Because I do. Knowing so many of you share my passion and feel the same emotional connection to this really does wonders for me.

Thank you to every one of you who has posted here
