I feel like a miserable child for asking this, and I know the thread will likely be locked. But it's 3 in the morning where I am, and I can't sleep. These endings have hurt me very deeply and I need to know that you will at least acknowledge the collective pain and anger on these boards. Even if you can't/won't fix the damage, please just acknowledge that you've heard us.

Thank you for making the best science fiction saga of my generation. I just cannot thank you for the way that you took it away.

Post it in the mega thread, they lock threads like these. Yes everyone is dissapointed and yes over 70%, if not more, hates the endings so i think they should either patch it for free or if they don't want to do that give us alternate/extra ending(s) DLC. Even a goddamn epilogue explaining what the hell happens at the end with everyone would be at least sufficient.

the sad part is, usually you get tons of trolls on crap like this.

Most of us however are right there with you man. its been almost 24 hours since I finished the game, still cant shake how utterly wrong the last 10 minutes made 5 years of gaming

An answer of some sort would be nice, even if it is a "no we're not going to change the ending". Ignoring the problem (and not making a majority of your fans happy is a problem) is not going to make it go away. Speaking for myself, ignoring me will just make me go out of my way to tell everyone I know not to buy the game.

I agree, that usually is the sort of reaction you would get. On the face of it the OP has what sounds like an impossible to sympathize with reaction.

But damn if I don't sympathize with it. Bioware were so close to making the best game in all of gaming. They were so damn close to perfection. 

And they threw it away. I stayed up from 9:30 am on Tuesday to 1:15 am on Thursday playing this game. I beat it in two sittings and skipped class to finish it. It was the best damn game I'd ever played until that final moment. They had history within their grasp and they squandered it.

On a side note I would recommend going out and purchasing some over the counter sleeping medication because getting no sleep is not good for your body.

I wish I could give you a hug! Although it would be a little selfish because I sure as hell need one, too. Since I completed the game yesterday morning, all I've been able to do is think about the ending, and have been pretty morose and down. It's getting to be a little ridiculous, as I'm not usually the type to dwell, but...I feel like I'm in mourning, and I can't stand it.

@ Guardian: Don't worry. I was wincing as I wrote the stupid thing, and was anticipating troll replies. But I just couldn't think of a better way to encapsulate what I was feeling. And to see that several people agree, with sincere non-attempts at trolling just makes me feel... worse about the whole thing.

it is, its utterly retarded to be THIS upset about a damn game. but hell... I was really really looking forward to it.. and literally to be within just eh... a 20 minute cutscene, and some customized epilogue text with some still frames of people we have met from being the gaming equivalent to lord of the rings only to do.. THAT to it.

its a crying shame.

If they dont fix it on their own, to be fair they deserve "mass effect" being used as an adjective.

As with most of us on these forums, we are all there with you in some way shape or form. Like I said before, some of the people in this community became really emotionally vested with shep. and his crew through out the game.. especially those of us that spent tons of hours in ME1, I for one became really attached to Garrus, best friend ever. It really sucks knowing that my shep might not ever see his homies again. Tears me up.. I find myself going back and playing ME1 just to spend more time with Garrus and Liara before they were tainted by really grim endings.

As I finished the game and I was walking to class, I kept thinking that I just felt betrayed. I'm feelin' your pain, OP.

They'll probably address it eventually, but the game is still pretty new. They don't want to risk spoiling anything or admitting it's flatout terrible until it gets more time to saturate into the players.

I hate the endings, but I'm not losing sleep or crying or anything. Depressing things don't really bother me that much anyway though. I just don't like seeing people in pain, and personally I want to have an ending that is satisfying after all the time and money I put into it. So, I'm not gonna give up trying until they give us happy endings.

My God! Bioware has done it! They have united the universe of trolls, sissies, and normal people to battle complete destruction!

I wish I could give you both hugs.  I can't remember ever being disappointed to the point of tears before.  After staring a the screen long after the credits in complete disbelief, confusion, and all around anger, I had to shut it all off, go to bed, and pretend it never happened.  I know a lot of people are going to mock us and troll us for being devastated by a video game, but after so much time, effort, and genuine affection we put into it over the years, how could we not be?  I can't even look at my ME3 game case without bringing it all back.  I feel like I'm in mourning, too, and it's really wearing me down.  I feel like I'm being a little overdramatic sometimes, and even a little ridiculous, but it is what it is.  It was a punch in the gut.

I feel exactly the same way. I actually vomited after finishing that game, though in retrospect it was probably because of the seafood I had for dinner. This game made me more sad than any other game I've ever played because of what we were promised and ultimately what we didn't get.

*looks at megapoll*
Actually, 97% of everyone hates the endings....

I can assure you that our development team does read our users posts, postive and negative.

There are a lot of threads discussing this same subject and I ask that you post in the mega thread so we can consolidate all opinions. I can assure you that your opinion has a much higher of being read if it is posted in the mega thread.
