<--- 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?

QFT

Though I tend to like tragedies, I really wanted a (more or less) happy ending for my Shepard. If she had walked out of the Normandy with the others at the end, I would have been a-okay.

I just really wanted Kaidan & Shep reunited. Hell, even in death I could have managed it.

But no. That's not how things go, is it?

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!!!!!

Well said.

You know the part before you start the assault, where you're given a chance to talk to everyone?

Here I was thinking...wow...Bioware....fantastic job keeping the atmosphere of dread/fear/hope/optimism.

Which they did. But for nought.

zzzz

Isn't this the first time Bioware have actually finished a trilogy?(Since TOR is an MMO)
Now we know why they don't do it that often. Can't wait till Dragon Age 3 is released. :-/

While the gameplay of ME1 wasn't as fun as ME2 or 3, the story was still amazing. You got hooked on the characters and wanted to follow their stories. ME2 comes, and it focuses on characters, which was fine. Just more of a reason to continue to ME3, follow their stories. I started ME3 and was addicted. Even though characters you've came to know and love die, you wanted to finish, try to save everyone else, try to give them a happier life, but no. You get to the end and you get completely screwed over. I was terribly disappointed with the ending. After years of playing BioWare games, I just didn't know they would do that. Hopefully they get some new ending soon for us, otherwise...there goes a lot of fans.
Simple fact: BioWare, you screwed us hard.

In retrospect, this pre-release comic makes a great deal more sense.

Feeling better and trudging through a second play-through by willfully self-deluding myself that the ending we got is somehow "false" or incomplete.

[Anuvis13]

I agree with most people here. I can't bring myself to want to play again. The disappointment is overwhelming right now. All I hope is that BW makes a patch with something better.

yea i talked to a couple of people about that too. apparently it maxes at 5000 but i never got it higher than three and the other two were the same. bioware says you can get the best endings with no online, but im not sure thats the truth, and i saw an interview on ign with the dude in charge of making the game and he sort of said you could but his phrasing left room for it to also not be possible to get quite as good an ending. and i could not find an extra 2000 worth of offline content

I'd actually prepared for Shepards death. Had taken a look at the sound track and all the last tracks were sad ones... But even with that, it would have been impossible for me to be prepared what  I saw in the last 10 minutes.

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.

Actually you can reimport your character. However it's a bit of a useless option considering Shepherd is now a little pile of ashes.

Yeah man. Having beat ME1 2 or 3 times, and ME2 around 8...Not being able to beat ME3 TWICE, is ridiculous.

hahaha so true. now just make two more, only one with a blue explosion and one with a green explosion

[Major Alenko]

Another thing that I didn't get, you destroy all the mass relays... you destroy all tech that everyone relies on... does that include every bloody ship that are fighting the reapers? So you spend the entire game creating this fleet, but then you basically kill everyone... not to mention all the **** you did on the citadel and then it just gets destroyed. WHAT WAS THE POINT, should have just let the reapers kill everyone.

[silencemayday]

managed a second playthrough yesterday. but only with stopping before the final earth mission.. mainly to see if i could actually get my 4000 war assets (which i didn't, even after taking every quest, side quest and with planet scanning.) then getting frustrated all over again. in the end i just ended up throwing my ME box to the other end of the room and playing fallout for a few hours. (even after massive genocide i didn't feel much better.)

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?

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.

I don't know how, but mine(Liara & Ashley) after being shot by harbringer, where dead on the floor, then for some reason at the end when the SSV Normandy opens it's door, out goes Joker, Liara & Ashley. I honeslty dont know.

[Ffelan]

I laughed, I cried, I agonized over hard choices and made sacrifices but all I feel at the end is a sense of utter defeat.

Its some bioware story guy pontificating about storytelling and organic crap about a lion and a field or something, forgetting of course that based on mass effect 3, they cant write their way out of a paper bag.

I almost wanted to cry when it ended, and not in a good way. I never thought I would feel like this about a video game. I am very angry and sad about the end of the game. I do not know if I will ever be able to even buy another Bioware title unless they fix this tragedy.

Most of us share your pain. Let's not lose hope!

The whole slogan, 'Take Earth Back' they used for the entire marketing of the game... you don't even take it back...

I've got a nasty feeling in my stomach. Let's pretend ME1 and 2 were a stray kitten I took in. I got kitty his shots got him snipped bought him food ect. The day after he gets snipped he gets hit by a car. All my time and effort were wasted. That's how I feel.

I like your analogy, but it is inclomplete. I would add this:

Now imagine you knew with 100% certainty that every stray kitten you'll take in in the future will eventually be hit by a car. (You can decide wether it is a blue, a green or a red car though)

I still need time to get over it. Crazy thing to say about a computer game.

[Roseking]

At least tomorrow I will have school to take things off my mind.


Wait whats that? I have standardized testing all week?

Whats that? I also have to listen to my friends talk about how amazing this game is not knowing the ending?

Now what? At least one will claim the ending is a work of art and I only hate it because I don't understand the meaning behind it?


At least I have my orange juice.
