Completely understand the feeling. I refused to believe it when I first saw/heard people talking about how bad the endings were. Bioware is the company that made me fall in love with gaming. Almost all of my most favourite gaming moments ever come from their games. They are (or were) the masters of video game storytelling, and after how amazing and touching and heartbreaking the rest of the game was, even down to the comparatively small things like the emotional last words to your LI and all your squad members, I couldn't believe it was possible for this not to be the best game I've ever played. And it was. Until the last 5-10 minutes, when I found out that everyone else was right, and one of the most amazing series of my personal gaming history was done the ineffable disservice of having the worst ending I've ever seen. No closure. No discernible continuity with the rest of the universe lore as we had been led to understand it at that point, or the story we'd been told thus far. None of the emotional payoff they usually provide so expertly. Just... nothing.
I still can't believe it. I still keep trying to go over the endings in my head - figure out what I missed. But the more I think about it, the more problems I see, and the worse I feel. If I didn't feel so hollow, I would probably be angry. Instead I'm just confused. Disappointed. Hurt. How could so much investment lead up to... nothing?
I definitely need a hug.
Come here thou who feel betrayed, and get a hug

What Bioware did was broke a promise. Something promised to us for 5 years, and I'm still in awe at how easily this promise could have been kept. When I promised Tali in ME2 that I'd help take back her homeworld, even when I could have had an entire geth army at my disposal and the power of the reapers, I still kept that promise in ME3. Way back in EM1, when I promised Wrex I'd find a cure for the genophage; I could have faked the cure and stopped the Krogan from repopulating, putting the entire universe at risk again, but I didn't. I kept the promise I made to him and saved his people. But when Bioware promised a solid conclusion to this trilogy, they forgot the promise completely. They lied to us, and betrayed us. And now all we can do is hope for a DLC which will fix this mess.

I need a hug as well.
Before finishing a couple hours ago I was so excited to play this game over and over and over again with different classes and choices but now .. I just .. what's the point?

Just beat the game two hours ago and I feel so depress. I try starting a second play-through to make me feel better but I just can't.
I need a hug.

finally got the gusto to start my second playthrough. i have convinced myself the ending is not out yet and the game ends right before the cerberus base.
putting together the most amazing playlist of music ever conceived and i'll be ready to go.

I need a hug.......have been counting down the day to release every day on my phone since around '350' days, driven my family and friends nuts during the past year, have been wearing an N7 & Normandy crew t-shirt on my days off, imported my ME1 characters to ME2, played ME2 on both PC & xbox numerous times, had an ongoing list of characters with different choices I made just waiting for import, soaked in all media surrounding ME3 release (gave concessions when things were negative), stood outside in almost freezing weather for 3 hours for the midnight release(my first), won 2nd place in trivia taking place, followed the Alliance News Network on twitter as the reapers descended on Earth that night, took a FREAKING WEEK OFF WORK to take Earth back, and this....THIS is how it ends?
I've spent all day trying to come to terms with this but I just feel so.........empty. Not angry, not hurt....just empty. None of it really mattered. The journey to get ME3 was better than getting it.....and somehow in that I should find comfort...because the journey to the final ME3 ending was better than getting there.

Ugh, I can't stop crying and I feel like an idiot because of it. I never thought I could become so emotionally invested in a video game, but lo and behold, it happened. But now... a part of me wishes I could take it all back, that I'd never even heard of Mass Effect. I just don't understand how BW could possibly think that the way they ending things would be well received.
I feel, like many others, betrayed. To put it lightly, I'm miserable. Ugh, this is the worst feeling on Earth, but I just can't stop thinking about how upsetting it all is...

I would indeed like a hug... I've spent the past 18 hours since I finished the game in a hollow daze broken up by the occasional weeping spells... I am currently on a Tumblr hunt for a 30 Rock .gif that properly expresses my emotions... because there's a 30 Rock .gif for every emotion. for now I'll just use this-

I just finished the game an hour ago and I would take a digital hug right now. When I recover from my sorrow I plan to replay ME2 and effectively in my mind call that the end of the series for me, the ME 3 ending has made me feel that betrayed.

I kind of want to kill myself given how bad that ending was even though I apparently got the best one.

I checked spoilers after I noticed people's opinions took a noise dive when they finished the game. Now I'm four priority missions from the end and I'm not sure I want to finish. Just... ugh.

I hit "A" on the galaxy map, sat back, and just watched my series, the only one I've been passionate about in recent years, die.
I went through the final mission just not caring one bit. Ran headfirst into enemies, completely ignored cover, just didn't give a damn. Inevitably dying as a result proved to be a relief, postponing having to face the end for a few moments longer.
Don't get me wrong. I think the game is relatively fine, even great at times, right up until then.
