Because for some reason (which I suspect has something to do with the horrid endings), I found the game incredibly hard to play after finishing new game "+", which is nothing much extra anyway. ME3 looks and plays fantastic; far better than ME2. It exceeds ME1's gameplay obviously, but it still doesn't have the feeling of 'magic' that ME1 did.

I completed ME1 and ME2 with 7 Shepards each and I never felt bored/unmotivated this quickly. And no, its not about 'overplaying'; I haven't played ME2 for over a year. And no, its not because of 'romance'. My Shepards random select LIs and some of them are still single, because I regard romance merely as a nice distraction.

Unless I'm wrong, the endings are downright disgusting because:

Everyone you helped on the Citadel is dead after the ending. Matriarch Atheyta, Bailey, all quest NPCs, ME2 squadmates, the council etc.

Everyone in the solar system is either dead or stranded and left to starve. That means Earth and her colonies, and every ship in the system. How is that possible? Well, look what happened to the Batarian system when you blew up the Relay. The catastrophic effects of the explosion were even verbally confirmed by various NPCs.

Everytime I did a side mission or made a choice during my 2nd playthrough, I kept asking myself: "How will this choice matter? Will it matter at the end?" And most of the time the answer is no. Other than making a galactic readiness bar go up by a few digits. You still get the same 3 choices at the end.

Whats worse is that I can't even bring myself to go back to ME1 and ME2 now, because the same question keeps popping up everytime I had to make a choice. I wish there was a way to forget ME3 temporarily while playing the previous two installments.

Its about the journey you say? Nonsense. Not when you've been throughout 3 games that your choice are supposed to matter, and that there will be CLOSURE at the end of ME3.

Yea. No reason to play me3 again.

And me1 and me2 too, duh.

I thought I might do a playthrough as an Adept because I've always played Soldier, just to see the flipside of the combat. I still plan on making the same choices.

I made up my mind to do this...Thursday, I think. Still haven't gotten around to it. I'd rather read the BSN and help the people who need it.

I'll do one more playthrough of 3 after this to get TIM to kill himself. No more after that.

You are not alone Krogan brother, any time some mentions the reapers in game I want to quit knowing my end, and I usually do.

Didn't read your post, sorry.

I lack the motivation to do more than one, after those endings.

Nothing you do matters, so why go back and do it all again, and this is from a guy who bought ME1, ME2 and ME3 all on the day they came out and beat 1&2 at least 50 times combined.

That's how distasteful I find the endings.

Edit: Just realized that I've had my RAEGFACE avatar for years now, but it has never been more applicable to how I feel regarding Bioware as it is right now.

This coming from a guy who defended most of DA2 and used to be one of the biggest bioware fanboys around,

Bioware.... I Am Dissapoint.

I'm lacking the motivation to do more than one playthrough, actually.

[hippanda]

I still haven't been able to justify doing the 2nd playthrough, so you're 1 step ahead of me.

[picodeath123]

Well knowing that I am going to die regardless now, I may do a renegade run from ME1 to ME3 and kill everyone and just have enough in ME2 to get to ME3 and destroy everything.

[gamenut4000]

I think the reason was because in ME 3 it took longer to finish. As I posted the internet and Strategy Guide isn't clear. It says if you get 4,000 Military Readiness and Anderson LIVES when you destroy the Reapers Sheppard will not survive. At 5,000 Military Readiness if Anderson DIES when you destroy the Reapers Sheppard Lives.

It's very confusing on how to end the game. Even then getting all that Military Readiness takes FOREVER. In order to achieve max readiness you need to play multiplayer to get that Galactic at War map to 100%. Even then the War Map readiness goes down over time. It's like you have to do both it feels like. I guess thats because there is not information.

Regardless it still takes forever. Only reason I would do it (if I did it) was to see the dialogue with that reporter. I don't plan on doing that any time soon though.

You know this isn't a half bad idea. We still need new endings but like they say when the cat is away...

[Arllekin]

so far, because of the ending , i'm not looking forward to make another run.

[United_Strafes]

2 playthroughs?

Just to add:

Needless to say, I won't be getting any story-related DLC, if the endings stay the way they are. Whats the point of e.g. liberating Omega, when it'll surely get blown to bits at the ending (when the TWO relays in the Omega system explode)? So what if finishing the DLC gets you 500 or even 50000 galactic readiness points? You'll still get the same crappy 3 choices, except maybe plus an extra 10 sec cutscene of Shepard twitching.

[Sorayai]

yea I agree completely =/

"Citadel Defense Force" ....riiiight.

Agreed, this is why Bioware's decision to have all endings destroy galactic civilization makes no sense. All the work you did across three games and something like 5 years of gaming to either make humanity dominante or unite the races of the galaxy together is pointless cause at the end they are either all dead or all seperated from each other based on how you interpret the relays exploding.

[Yttrian]

The endings removed any realistic motivation to do an additional playthrough of any sort on ME1, 2 or 3...

1) Total and utter destruction of any meaning of any of my choices.
2) Innihilation of the Mass Relays and thus the Galactic community; again, choices having no bearing.
3) No good/paragon ending of consequence.

...oh and:
4) Three illogical choices for suicide; the first being for Renegades, the second being completely outside ME canon, storyline while relying on "space magic", the third which is the mission statement totally nullifies several extremely important moral choices out of hand, while all three have the exact same result.

...and finally:
5) The Normandy seems to magically teleport two assumed dead people onto Normandy with no explaination, which then left the battlefield for no reason, which then conveniently leaves all friends and love-interests stranded on an unknown "paradise" world where no one can know anything about what has happened, no real hope of reproduction while both Tali and Garrus will starve to death...

In the end, it was all meaningless:
I could have driven a braindead carcass on a small truck with an autoturret on top and the only thing to change in the ending would be the Shepard model.

My roommate was finishing ME 2 and started playing ME3....I was listening to the suicide mission soundtrack and I remembered the exhilaration of the first time doing the Sm. Trying to get everyone out alive, and the relief and that good feeling t the end. i was excited to jump back in right after. After this game it will be at least a week before I feel like playing again. I would like to play me 1 and 2 again but...whats the point.
