Honestly? Not much better.

It REALLY depressed the heck outta me. Any time I think of playing ANY of the games, I get a sick feeling in my stomach.

I don't think I can play these games ever again...

And yes, I'm being serious. Mock me all you want, but it's how I feel.


Yeah. I think maybe Bioware expected this, hence why we don't get a 'reimport you character for a new game+!' because they figured most fans wouldn't want to.

Well, here I was, thinking I was the only hysterical weirdo breaking into fits of tears because of a video game. Mind you, I only finished it last night.
I'm not even that angry yet, I'm just in a huge state of denial and depression. I have this constant knot in my throat, and I can't talk about ME3, or watch videos without having teary eyes.

If Bioware did one thing right, it's making us care this much about pixels.
And yet.
I'm left in a complete state of lethargy.

I fail to believe its possible to get 5000galactic readiness points without playing multiplayer i got just under 3000 and i couldnt see much i did wrong aside from getting lazy with the salvaging.


!!! This. I had about the same, 3000 and something... I did everything as well! Unless you have to search bloody every system for crap. Rather just play the multiplayer or better still just edit the galatic readiness in a save editor lol


Thanks good to know im not the only one.

i was gonna save multiplayer for a second playthrough cos i wanted to focus on the story properly and not have it broken up by pointless and repetitive multiplayer like all non mmo multiplay is. but now i dont care enough to play it through again cos i know ultimately it wont change anything. i cant even be bothered playing through those last 3 or so hours to see what happens when i touch the other thingy. i watched it on youtube instead.

Personal I'm fine, life is good, spent time with my little cousins this weekend had blast.

Mass Effect wise..I'm not depressed... annoyed beyond all belief. I have been looking at these endings trying to open minded and more try to be open minded the worst they get.

Stunned.

Take a seat, maybe allow someone to fix you a drink.

Best advice ever. Now, do you want a red drink, a green drink, or a blue drink? They're all vodka, but I at least wanted to respect everything you've said up to this point and give you a choice.

Post of the year.

Actually made me laugh, which is a miracle considering how depressed I've been over these endings.

I'm simultaneously in denial about the ending being real and seriously pissed off at how badly Bioware screwed this up.

I want to give BW one more shot, perhaps by releasing a follow-up DLC showing us a "true" ending - but why the hell should I have to settle for that? If the ending was the real deal, or was just a hallucination and the true ending won't come unless I pay for a DLC, then I'm being ripped off no matter what.

I brushed haters off for a long time - even defended BW a few times. But now that this happened, I just feel like a plain ol' idiot.

And it's all because of the game's final 15 minutes. I have no idea how BW managed to butcher an entire series in such a short period of time, but they pulled it off and spared no expense doing it.

I'm just so mortified, I knew it was getting a lot of hate in the user reviews of metacritic but I just dismissed that and people moaning about DLC but after playing it and seeing the ending myself. Just wow. No way is it a bad game, it's a bloody brilliant game, I enjoyed every minute I was playing it. Just that ending, it's unbelievable how bioware got it so wrong.

Honestly, very depressed and in shock that after 5 years, lord only knows how many plays I have done(ME 1 & ME 2) in the end, never really mattered, the choices the people I helped, that all that time and effort that I placed reading, getting to know my squad mates, was all just thrown to the floor and squashed, that after all the things I had done, it never really mattered, because it has been watered down to nothing. The ending offered no cloasure and the biggest insult after such an atrocities is the text box saying more adventures in dlc. How can you even put that after such a horrible ending?

So answering the question, fully depressed, ruined my whole month and years to come, I was a fan from ME1, and to have this endings, it's just makes me empty and hollow, almost like a husk, sitting in my chair, just wondering what went wrong , still in shock that they pulled such a horrible ending. Bioware why?:unsure:


Yea, I think that's the problem.

It's not that it's not 'Big Picture' (i.e. synthesis) or not sacrificial (i.e. control) enough.

The problem is that the endings makes you depressed/lose all interest in it anymore.

I actually had half the mind to go buy the novels (I've not even read the comic in the CE edition) after I completed the game but after that it's like....meh. wth.

btw, just a question:

I noticed that some people say the squadmates you chose to go into combat with you survived. How can that be? They didn't follow you up the beam (presumably dead coz of Harbinger) and didn't appear anytime after that.

It is possible to get over 3000 in single player mode. I got up to 3200 something having failed a few side quests (cerberus attack on the citadel made it impossible for me to complete some of them) . I'm going to try playing some multi now in addition to making all the sidequests.

If they had only given a proper epilogue sequence, a modest video, a cutscene.. anything. It would have been fairly acceptable.

Even if it was just a short, poignant scene showing Dr. Chakwas drinking a glass of Serrice Ice Brandy in Shepard's honor, as was promised. Albeit, marooned and doomed to die in Jurassic Park, it would have been something.

Anyway, yea, they all die in Jurassic Park in case anyone was wondering.

AAAAAAAAAHahahaha. I see what you did there.

That made me happier than the ending of ME 3!

...and I made myself sad again.

<--- Still crying randomly on day 2.

Life has enough reminders about death, how unfair it is, and in general how much it can suck. I really don't need that reminder tacked onto the end of a game series I loved. I could've lived with Shepard's sacrifice, if the galactic community had come together in a new and wonderful age of peace, my squadmates had continued with their lives, and every mass relay in the galaxy hadn't apparently been destroyed. Though I'll admit, I want my Shepard to live damnit, she deserved it after all that ****... they got to "kill" her in ME2, why the hell did they want to do it again?

I do really love the few people trying to defend it though, I used to be like that until they ripped out my heart and stomped on it a few times.

Excuse me, I have to go cry again...

Edit: I think this is the only time in my life I've read a forum and largely seen my feelings shared. Normally I avoid them like the plague, but while this doesn't help, it reassures me I'm not alone in being depressed as hell over this.

I went outside yesterday after a couple of days mulling over ME3, still upset about but it was nagging at me like before so was going on with my normal life.

Someone crashed into the back of my car while I was at a red light.

It was like Mass Effect 3 all over again.

I feel the exact same way.  It's been about three days since I've beaten the game, and I'm still depressed.  I want to play the game again, because the first 29 hours and 55 minutes were the best have ever played, but I don't think I can stomach the last five minutes again.

Feeling a bit like that still after over 24 hours. Quite frankly it discourages me from playing further... Except for the multi, I might still try that one since it has nothing to do with the story. I hope you'll feel better soon. I hope all of us will.

What upsets me the most about this ending is not so much that it sucks, or it being bad.

Its the fact that there is really no closure. I was more than willing to let Shepard die, to save the crewmates, but I would like to know how it went for them after that. I would like to know how the galaxy reacted after Shepard gave her life for the galaxy (well, in one of the cutscenes, apparantly she doesnt...just enjoying the rubble, which again makes little sense in itself)

And more to the point, it utterly annihilated my plans of playing the game through as another class. As it all seems pointless. None of the choices I've made over the last five years in mass effect does any difference to the end. And thats hell of a painful thing to see.

Heck, I dont even want a happy ending. I just want closure.

Sad panda. Very sad panda.

Finished the game 2 days ago and I have to still touch my PC after that. I was just kind of feeling empty, then depressed, then lame for over-reacting to a game. Looks like I wasn´t over'reacting at all. I don´t think BW choose to blow the entire galaxy, but even thinking of what will happen to every character and every race without the mass relays still depresses me (Tali in particular) :(

I've been lurking here ever since I finished it on Thursday. Kind of numb now. Thinking about it isn't as soul crushing, at least up until I start thinking that my Shep that had to wait until game three to find happiness with Kaidan won't get to see him again. And that the fleets are stuck in our system. >.>

I had intended to immediately start a second playthrough. I haven't even turned on my xbox since I finished the game, I don't have the heart to play any games as of now.

In what universe did they, the writers, think this was a good idea? When it ended, I just sat there, stunned and unable to comprehend what had just happened. You can't tell me they didn't do this on purpose in order to get us to fork over $$$ for a better ending. I've had several days now to process and come down from the emotional rollercoaster I was on, but I'm still bothered and a little pissed. You don't play a series like this for years, hours of game play, and expect to have no closure, or reward if you will, for your efforts. I think the writers wrote themselves into a corner and didn't know how to fix it, so they took the easy way out and gave us yadda, yadda, yadda....
We spent hours, months, years building virtual relationships with these characters only to be given the finger in the end by the writers. I challenge you all... Go out there and rewrite the ending and post it on which ever site you choose. And for the love of all that is Mass Effect, vote with your $$$$. Don't buy anything else from Bioware until they at the very least explain, in detail, why they chose to take the easy way out.
On a side note, because I'm on a roll here... Anyone else have a problem with the War Readiness Map being tied to multiplayer? I'm a not so young chicken, and let's just say that my friends/contemporaries do not play video games. (They're changing their grandchildren's diapers or knitting scarves or getting the senior citizens discount at Denny's...) I chose single player RPG for that very reason. It's SINGLE PLAYER!!!!!
