I myself have 3 shepards that I was really looking forward to experiencing ME3 with. Since I had believed that each ending to ME3 would be wildly (or at least substantially) different and unique based on your choices over the course of the series, I had expected the replay value for ME3 to be through the roof. Now, having just completed my "canon" Shepard's journey, its going to be a LONG while before I'm able to boot up any of my other saves.
I just can't play through again, knowing what lies at the end. Which is a tragedy, because the journey there, the other 99.5% of the game, was so incredible.
What about you guys? Any brave souls diving right back in, knowing what lies ahead?
For Those With Multiple Shepards: Will you play through again?

The ending tainted the whole series for me. I don't think I can even play 1 and 2 again. Why bother.

The odd thing is that I've kept the same Shepard (ultimate Paragon, just alternating classes) thinking that the third game would inspire me to go back and play it out differently. 3's ending killed that desire for me.
I'm doing a NG+ playthrough because I goofed up with TIM, but after that, I won't be touching it.

Once, maybe, not really into it though. Give me some other endings and there would be so many playthroughs it'd be like a fiesta

Long answer short: no.
Short answer short: no.
What's the point? I get the same crappy ending no matter what. It doesn't matter who I saved, who I romanced, or what I did.

I'm giving it a few days, but then yes, I will be going through and playing it again. I may not FINISH, but I will replay it, catch the things I missed, refine my answers, better integrate my character into the the story.
Had the ending been what was promised instead of what we received, I probably wouldn't stop replaying until April. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I have about 730 hours of playtime logged in the Mass Effect series so far, and aside from the ending, ME3 is the best one of the series.

I can, honestly save for the ending, I loved the game.
To me it's like how I love Star Wars, yes Episode 1-3 weren't amazing, but they were still enjoyable, even with their flawed moments.
The only reason in being why I did not like the ending was the lack of closure on characters, events, etc. Not even a txt based explanation on what the hell happened to everything.
Explosion -> People Cheering -> Normandy Crashes -> Old Man Story Time.
That was my only issue, there was no gaps filled.

Yep, playing through my renegade Garrusmance save, and then alt-F4ing after the London speech.

"Through"? Oh no. Up to the part with Anderson and TIM, yes. Nothing after that is worth my time.

Yeaaaah I have about three Sheps left to play and I don't intend on playing them for a little while. The ending left me emotionally drained. I seriously felt depressed for about a day after finishing it. :/ So I'll probably eventually play through my other Shepards because I want to see the Jack, Ashley, Miranda, and Garrus romances.
But I don't know if I'll actually complete the game. The ending killed me.

Pretty much this. I'll try, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to enjoy it again.

When I beat 1 & 2 I went right back in with another character immediately. I still can't bring myself to start this game up again. I had 6 Shepards ready for import, but have only played thru one.

I have 4 sheps in total. 3 are completed and one is about half way through ME2. I just beat ME3 with my first shep, and I honestly feel like going back to do another playthrough would be just pointless. The endings just felt like they didn't know what to do, so they just made it "no matter what you die and everyone is screwed".

I'm playing my Sentinel who romanced Thane through part of the game. Don't think I'll finish it though. No motivation to go past a certain point.

Not for a long time. I have no desire to play any of the games, or any of my other Shepards because no matter what sort of person each Shepard is the ending is always the same. All other play throughs could be making choices that another would never dream of, but they will always end with the forced choice of a 5 minute Arch-Villain.

I got 2 shepard, i would have more if i didnt play the 2 games for the first time 2 weeks ago....Im not sure if i will play my 2nd one just yet, like a lot of ppl, the ending drained my will to play but then I think about all the great moments in the game and how bioware is just messing with our heads and I want to play again.

No.
I had planned to play through with all four of mine, but once is enough with the single bleak ending and its color-coded minor variations.

No. What's the point? Nothing you do matters.
If there's new ending DLC, though, absolutely I would.

You guys are talking about the endings, I'm having a hard time playing my second playthrough with a different Shepard because he's essentially railroaded into the same character my previous playthrough was. With the linear auto dialogue it's hard enough to replay it. The endings just make it even worse, but the journey to the endings is harder when 90% of what your character says is exactly the same.

No, why waste my time?......I'll just check them out on youtube...no point any more really.

Absolutely. In stark contrast to my renegade female with Kaidanmance, next I'll be doing my paragon male with Talimance.
Planning to start it up in a couple days or so.
