lol Ah, that is awesome.

I haven't cried over this. Not yet at least. I am not losing sleep. A couple of nights I kept thinking about it and began to feel sick to my stomach but I could sleep. When I feel sick to my stomach or kinda shaky (happens sometimes when I get pissed off or nervous), I can't help that. It is a physcial reaction. For some people their emotions play out through their body.

And a lot of people are emotionally invested in this game and have been supporting it for years. Some people weep or lose sleep over other forms of media so why not video games too? Personally I don't judge people when they have physcial reactions like that. You can think its stupid but to make fun of them? Not okay.


Look, I meant no offence, but you have to admit that it's ridiculous. And earlier I read a post about a support group for the movie Avatar? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

I too get emotional over fictional works in interactive and non-interactive media (games and movies, respectively), because, you know, I'm human. There were many parts through the ME series that had me tearing up. But I realize that's it's just fiction and therefore, I don't invest emotionally into it. I save that for relationships and real-world situations, such as work, school, ambitions, etc. It's irrational to invest emotionally into something that doesn't affect you or your life.

The "Hardest. Day. Ever." part makes me feel like they're "fixing" the ending. It must be so frustrating to have worked so hard and long on a project only for it to come out and everyone to immediately demand it be changed.

It's only going to get worse and more EU players finish this weekend. I assume the majority of us are US players ..

Not interested in MP DLC, Skins, Weapon packs. Those are no buys to me. I already have enough guns and my squad members look fine in their outfits. The MP is not fully fledged like Left 4 Dead CO-OP. Btw i just noticed all the assests in MP are recycled from SP i mean everything. I dunno why there are leader boards for co-op games when everyone shares the victory and SP.

I agree. I can`t help but feel for the developers. Looking at the game itself, its clear that they worked their asses off. Still...it doesn`t change the ending.

I don't think people are giving them enough credit for the other 99.9% of the game. It's absolutely amazing. I'm having more fun playing ME3 than I have with any other game (since ME2, anyways), and I play a lot of games. 

What hurts is knowing that the 100s of hours you've spent playing ME1 and ME2 to prepare for ME3 goes right down the drain.

I agree. Should I have my say to Bioware, I'd like to stress how much I've loved the series, and all that they put into ME3. I've loved the game intensely, and it's made me laugh and cry more than any game ever. If it weren't for the endings, I would be singing the praises of that game to everyone who would listen.

I feel for the devs. This can't be easy for them either.

Can't say I feel bad for the devs. They *chose* this. There was plenty of grief and sacrifice throughout the course of the game, and then they slap down a Star Child plot device and 3 equally wretched, horrible endings that show everything you did was meaningless? No. They *chose* this. Kind of like the Sopranos writers feeling bad at how little people appreciated their ending.The game has absolutely zero replay value, even makes replaying the earlier 2 pointless.

Emotional investment in fiction and real lfie aren't mutually exclusive.  People have been using stories... epic poems, ballads, legends, up through modern fiction and media to create emotional responses.  Most of the people complaining here didn't get the game for it's gameplay mechanics, but for the story.  That's been Bioware's real selling point... and they took an epic, magnificent story and did a half-hearted ending set that invalidated every choice the players made for their part of the story.  It's the ruined potential, not just "nobody got a happy ending" so much that players were told their choices impacted the ending, and they really didn't beyond "what color do you want your suck to be?"

This exactly

I feel like a believer who has lost his faith.

I WANT to believe, i WANT to sing bioware's praises for the games they created, but those 10 minutes of gameplay didn't just shake my faith. Its shattered, broken and gone.

The only chance it can be reclaimed is for those endings to change.

It's witchcraft, actually.  But I guess what it comes down to is that nobody cares if an Uwe Boll movie turns out horribly.... but when it's something with a magnificent track record that so dramatically pulls defeat from the jaws of victory, that's another matter.

Wouldn't be so bad if so many of us hadn't been so excited, waiting for this game's release.

Shepard needs a proper battle ending, where he dies being swarmed by husk variants and reapers with your two selected squad mates, Or if your readiness is high enough the fleet will come save you. Also there needs to be more closer for the ME2 LI's, there wasn't enough content for them. Hope fully future DLC's will feature content that expands the life, conversations, and times you see many of these characters.

You must be joking. You cared LESS about the death of your own grandmother than you did of a video game's ending?

Omg.

It's pretty bold to attack him for that when you really don't even have a context for that relationship outside of what he just said.

Maybe it was Buzz Aldrin? Maybe his experiences in space showed him the futility and insignificance of life, and he would only sign on to the project if no happy ending was given because humanity doesn't deserve one?

The thing is, not all of us necessarily want a 'Happy ending'. I would be happier if we realized that the crucible would destroy Earth along with the Reapers, or some similarly horrific result, as long as we got closure to the story, learned the results of our actions (everyone's no isolated for the next thousand years! LOL! Nothing you did really mattered! LOL!), and achieved some sort of goal other than destroying galactic civilization.

...Maybe Buzz realized the futility of human choice and free will? :P

I'm just joking around here. Whatever their reasoning, I hate it :(

Some people don't really relate to their grandmothers I guess.
But I can relate to the sentiment, I haven't felt this emotional about anything for a VERY LONG WHILE.

Just as an aside, this is true. Family dynamics vary so much.  I'm sorry that people don't have good relationships even with their immediate family like I do with mine. It's unfortunate :(

I don't have many passions in life outside of my major in college. I was really passionate about this series, talking to anyone who would listen to me for even a minuet about it. I convinced so many of my friends to buy 1 and 2 and give them a try.

It was a passion for me; it was truly something I cared about. And they just killed it all in the last minutes of the game.

For the people who may not be able to see the problem with the endings, I'd hope you have the decency to at least understand what happens when a passion is ruined.
