Ugh... what's more embarassing?  That I spent hundreds of hours playing a series that was utlimately rendered pointless by the endgame destroying everything I was trying to save, OR that I'm crying like I lost my best friend over a freaking video game?

Finished my game 12 hours ago, was suprised at the odd, off-putting, confusing ending as I had played slowly and carefully to try and obtain an optimal ending.  But then, I got half my squad killed my first ME2 playthrough, so through my tears of frustration and disappointment, I tried again picking door #2 - ack, even worse!, then with increasing despair tried the door #3 after which I just sat there stunned. 

Took about an hour to do all the endgames, or one box of kleenex if you care to count that way.  But yes, that was really how it was going to end.

Just the night before I had proclaimed to my hubby that ME3 was the greatest game ever... blabbing on and on about all the little things that had been done so well, never dreaming that this god-awful end was in store for me.  AND I CAN"T FIX IT!  Can't unring that bell.  My whole ME universe, GONE.  Why did I even play.

So I came to the forum, and can at least take solace in not being alone.  Thanks to all the gamers here who help me think I might not be completely freakin' insane.  I've read no few than 50 alternate endings, all of which were better than what were got.

Heck, I would've been more satisfied if Shep had unleased her space hamster on the Catalyst at the end, all the while shouting "Go for the eyes, Boo!  Go for the eyes!"

Maybe tomorrow I can contemplate ever playing any game again (I know I can't go back to ME 1, 2 or 3)... but right now anything with a plot deeper than Angry Birds leaves me wary and suspicious.

Those that finished earlier... does it get better??

Does it get better? Maybe the intensity of the pain, but no.

[Warp92]

The endings are like scars in your mind..

i hope it helps you to

You're not alone, I want to play it again, but I can't find it in me to do so. Hell I can barely even play any other games right now. But yes, I cried too.

[Nineteen]

After I finished, I just felt empty. I felt like Bioware just handed me the ending, and I had no idea what to do with it, emotionally or logically. So I began dissecting it and working my way through it trying to figure out just what the hell happened, and what it means to the ME universe and to myself.

I finished it Wednesday..... I consider myself a ****ing stoic... and it's still haunting me.

[RubiconI7]

My whole ME universe, GONE.

YES!

The whole ME universe that we as players invested in, GONE...REGARDLESS of our supposedly "important" choices and decisions...why cure the Genophage? Why make peace between Quarians and Geth?

Indeed.   It's OK to cry over mordin or thane, but not the ending....

[x0 Misfit 0x]

It does, I couldn't stop being angry after I'd finished the game, and sad, and in tears. But best advice I can give, watch something that makes you laugh, or anything to take your mind off Mass Effect, talk to somebody who will listen, and just rant to them about it, then watch something that makes you laugh, that helped me out.

Pure rage.

[gmboy902]

The ending is unforgettable. I'm just not sure if that's because of the unexpected and emotional conclusion that it brought, or if it's because that unexpected and emotional conclusion was also completely half-baked and nonsensical.

[MrJu1c3]

I've been ranting all day to anyone who would listen. It helped a bit.
Honestly though, I don't think I'll ever go back to Mass Effect unless they fix this.

C-C-C-C-COMBOBREAKER!

I was extremely shocked, to say the last, when they decided to end it like that.
At this point, I just give up on bioware, if they're paving the way for ME4, the least they can do is give us a bone. Besides, if we figured out what happened to everyone based on our decision through another character's eyes, it just wouldn't be the same, as you developed relationships with them through shepard, empathized, and you grew to love them.
The sadness eventually gets replaced by emptiness. I ragequit and threw out my mass effect books, comics, guide, bag, posters, and my inflatable omni-blade. I just hope bioware decides to listen to us and fix thing.

[NoUserNameHere]

I'll admit, I felt beaten. Not like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, where I simply felt the endings were lackluster and carried on.

The game beat me. I'm taking a long break from my Xbox for awhile.


Reminds me of Fable 3. You won't feel like much of a hero after that ending. Not at all.

[ApophisGoauld]

No, you firmly not a "freakin' insane".. Or, maybe you are, but in that case, I am completely freakin' insane too. I want ME universe back! I want my Liara back. I want peace for Shepard with Liara on some "garden planet", where they spend the rest of Sheps live with lots of blue children around...
Is it to much asking this?

[Orion428]

Completed my playthrough around 3:00 am on the 8th, im still suprisingly pissed about the end.

Cried for two days...today I just woke up angry.

[Spectre_Shepard]

its gonna be ok.

maybe not now.... but someday.

[Shuhya]

I finished my game on thursday and I'm still depressed about it. Ranting about it to everyone in my family that would listen helped some but the soul crushed feeling is still there.

I have no desire to play any video game at all now and it was my major hobby.

[The Angry One]

Hesitant as I am to break my aloof tough girl image I admit I cried too. Then felt sick.
Some may laugh, but this was a great trilogy with great emotional investment, then the ending punched me in the throat.
