I went into this without knowing the endings, simply knowing that people were complaining about them, and that made me all the more intent to love it, out of spite, no matter what happened. I knew there was no way Bioware could get this wrong; I said before I even played that they'd have to work harder to screw it up.

And then I played it through and saw the ending.

And now, I can't believe it, but it feels like the bottom's fallen out of my world, complete with random bursting into tears, and I feel pathetic for getting this upset over a video game...

For me, the Mass Effect series has always held up a mirror to us while playing it. We make those decisions, and we learn more about ourselves. Killing Morinth, because I couldn't even bring myself to let her live, even on hardcore renegade playthroughs. Never revealing what Tali's father did, because I could never bring myself to do it.

All I get from the ME3 ending is that no matter what you do, you're screwed. There is no hope, and everything you do is ultimately futile.

TL;DR... I am heartbroken, and could really use a hug, please.

*Hugs* I am here for you.

I'm glad to see that I am not the only one feeling so bad.

So many hours of emotionally-intense playthroughs.So many amazing characters. So many powerful, intense, and beautiful moments. So many meaningful choices. Such a great scenario. Such brilliant games.

Why do I have the horrible feeling that it was all spoiled because of those endings ? Those inconsistent,devoid of closure, plot-hole-filled, depressing endings ? 

I'm still in complete denial. How, Bioware, how... ? 

*Hugs* everyone.

I've been kicking myself since 10am yesterday (Black Saturday, my finish date/time) for feeling so... so... well, you know because you wrote the post above.

You aren't alone, seems there are many of us.  And at least group therapy will be fun, we can all bring our emergency induction ports!

Hugs

I don't understand the thought process.... The game was GREAT was living up to expectations and then somehow that pile of **** made it as the ending undoing everything.

I was really depressed after finishing the game. Before the end of ME3, I never even knew these forums existed. But I found them - and found you guys - like-minded people going through the same emotions I'm going through. It's really helped with my frustrations and grief just knowing you guys care like I do. Thanks guys. I guess misery does love company!

I don't have a words. Just waiting...something...
Hold on everyone /krogan hug

This is heart wrenching, everyone. I mean, I have such a strong desire to play Mass Effect 3 again. To play through all three games again. But I just can't. It just feels like it wouldn't be fulfilling...

[Bawseee]

Man oh man I tried to defend the game, but the ending just kills it for me. What a way to ruin the trilogy. Wowweeee

I need a hug

I finished the game about a day and a half ago now and I still burst into random tears thinking about it.

You've broken my heart, Bioware. I worked so hard for months to keep from all the spoilers and the leaks that happened; and I was so, so excited to get the game, and honestly, it was brilliant, amazing, wonderful, the best game I have ever played... right up until the end.

You've killed my favourite fandom, my favourite video game character, my favourite love interest... Where is the hope you brought us in the first and second games? Where is the sense that you tried to give us, of the wonder and joy of everything that's out there that we haven't come across yet? The love? It's all gone now

It's a credit to you that we are just so devastated by this, that we have so much emotional investment in a bunch of pixels and ones and zeroes; but from where I'm sitting it's like you just killed a child, or a lover, or an old, beloved pet. My heart's broken.

*hugs to you all*

[Sywen]

Almost 20 pages of hugs and support

*hugs*

I was really having a good time with the multiplayer too but now, I don't even want to look at that loading screen. Just kills me. I LOVE the mass effect series. It is my favorite world of fiction with Nolan's Batman coming a close second (heaven help me if he screws that up).

I just can't bring myself to accept those "endings" as truth. Sad thing is, I am an adult and these endings caused me to lose sleep last night AND just leave $20 at the grocery store that I pulled using my debit card...just so distracted.

Yes a hug is required...

Guys! I just had a huge epiphany about the ending, and it's made me stop being heartbroken, and feel so, so, so much better!

http://social.biowar...0/blog/211700/

No idea if my theory is accurate, but it fits, and it made me go from crying, to sitting here with the hairs on the back of my neck standing up, going, "Holy crap, that could actually be awesome."

So, thought I'd share, in case it makes anyone else feel a bit better.

EDIT TO ADD:
Bear in mind, though, I'm not saying it's the right answer. And it may just be my way of coping with it, but I can't sit here, continuing to get upset.

My brilliant Sunday of ME3 was going absolutely fantastic! then suddenly destroyed within several minutes... never been so sad to see 3 Mass Effect games become useless within 5 minutes.

I need a hug!

An interesting thought. But if that is the case, then why doesn't the kid just reveal this at the end instead of spewing all that senseless bullsh*t about "the chaos"?

Honestly? I don't know. I've also tried booting up the game again, to see how I felt, after writing that, and it seems that my theory only attempts to explain the complete arse-pull weirdness of the ending.

Alas, what it turns out to have not done is make me any more inclined to replay the game...

Ah well, I tried. I don't suppose there's any chance I could have another hug, is there?

[Whybother]

I need a hug.

[MinatheBrat]

I've lurked here for a long time, but I joined so I could get a hug!

It's been a few days since I hit the SpaceKid Nightmare, so at least I don't have that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach anymore but it still makes me so upset that my favorite games are now reduced to a steaming pile of unplayable crap.
There's no joy in saving the galaxy that can't be saved. No joy in being the asskicking Shepard that gets her ass kicked. No joy in romance when my LI somehow manages to end up who knows where...*sigh*, I know you've heard it all before.

Thanks for the vent.

>hugs<

Anyone know how i can get over this. I've been sad/mad for days. Even going out and getting laid did not help.

 Everyone, if we do get what we want, if we do get better ending dlc....
Let us change the title of this thread to, "Come here thou who feel orgasmic with euphoria, and get victory cookies."
Just thought I'd try to keep things positive.
