 Now I know that my whole time playing ME3 is going to be foreshadowed by my knowledge of the end. I won't feel any enthusiasm for the game because I know that in the end, none of my choices matter. No matter what I do, the game forces me into a depressing ending. The hundreds of hours of time spent making perfect playthroughs on the other 2 games is now completely reduntant. 

Even if I have fun with this game, I'll always have the depressing knowledge at the back of my brain which tells me even if I am victorious in this battle, I'll still lose in the end. Damn me and my curiousity. Maybe, if I had resisted temptation I could have had at least one ME3 playthrough where I held onto the idea of hope, at least until the very end. Now, every good moment is going to be dampened by the endings. I really wish there was some sort of technology which allowed me to erase all the ME3 knowledge I've learned. I really do. I know it's my fault, but it still sucks. 

Anyone else feel like this?

And this is why the destination is just as if not more important than the journey, folks

[Darth Malice113]

Yes.

Only if you everything about the destination beforehand. Obviously knowledge of the future colors your opinion on the present, but if you had avoided the spoilers the journey would have been magnificent.

But imagine how you would have felt if you hadn't watched the endings. How many hours you would spend trying for a happy ending, desperately searching the web before stumbling across the BSN, where chaos has descended and the fiery pits of hell have been opened.

Now imagine taking a left turn into the Character and Romance forums during that time. You have been blessed, my friend.

And it doesn't have to be all bad. Headcanon is pretty easy with all of the endings.

I'm only spending £5 so I don't really care.

If I was in pre-order I'd just cancel and wait a couple of months.

Not much replay value, though.  Actually, I don't feel exactly the same as the OP; actually I think I'm going to like the endings, in a tragically beautiful sort of way, but... I can understand how he feels.  I wish there was another option. But I'm still going to enjoy the hell out of this game, I know.

Yep, that's about the extent of things.

I didn't watch the endings, but I'm aware of them. Still excited to play the game though. Can't wait to beat Kai Leng's ass.

Until the end, when you realize that the journey was pointless. Then you're angry and disappointed because no matter your actions, the destination is the same. Angry because the whole point of the journey was to determine the destination, but the destination is already determined.

As a lifelong fan of Stephen King, if I didn't believe that the journey was what mattered I would have killed myself years ago.

I take it you've read The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower?

Funnily enough, the Coda was the only part of that book that I actually liked.

Knowing that all the endings suck frees me from having to care about how any decisions I make during the game will effect how it ends. I can simply live in the moment and go with whatever seems more interesting at the time. So I'll definitely play it through once, and I'll probably enjoy the journey. I just likely won't replay the game nearly as much as I have the other 2, which is a bit disappointing.

Up until the endings, perhaps. And even then, ther knowledge would/will sour future playthroughs...

That's because you have some control over the end. For ME3 all endings are too similar and disregard what you've done in 1 and 2. There is no replay value for 3.

Which means there's not much replay value for any of the games because the first two games mainly centered around preparing for the final war with the Reapers. Now that we know no choices have any real affect what's the point?

This is why Chrono Trigger, a game released over 17 years ago on the Super Nintendo, will forever be the best RPG known to man. Over 15 separate endings, each and every one of those endings completely unique.

And it too had a New Game+ mode that allowed you to replay with your achieved levels and items.

Are you implying Stepgen King has never written happy endings?

exactly. if you look at me2 w/e you decide is basicly the same thing when you destroy the base or kill off the collectors.

same with me1 same out come happens when you save or kill the council
nothing really does change so i dont see how the endings of all 3 games make the full games non replayable

thing is though that is 17 years ago you cant always hold on to the past and expect games to be the same

[xsdob]

We've only seen 3 endings, there are six, everyone who is complaining about the endings being too similar is only judging it based on half the endings.
