Yeah, it's been about two full days now and it still hurts like a fresh wound. I only wish I hadn't been as big of a fan of the ME universe and characters. Maybe that was our shared mistake.

[IrishSpectre257]

I wrote my own epilogue to deal with the slight depression I felt after the ending. No story has ever effected me this way, it surprised even myself. But I gave the series my own ending without actually contradicting anything canon, so I'm content with it.

I'm getting over the worst of it. I was an emotional wreck for a few days, and I'm still incredibly bummed out and angry and all sorts of things. Now I'm just trying to find ways around the last ten minutes of the game; as many of them as I can. I love the Mass Effect universe, and right now my main goal is to keep finding reasons I can keep loving it without feeling horribly, horribly depressed and wanting to cry more.

Dang...after reading all the comments i think i'll just put ME3 in the shelf for now, not even gonna try to finish it.
I remember the first time i've played Dragon age Origins, how bummed out i was when Morrigan left...and when the Epilogue mentioned her with regret...man I almost cried.

I know this is going to be worse because I like the ME series alot more.

Hang in there guyz....hopefully Bioware releases something soon, or at least a statement.

Honestly, the game is incredible until you you run into the StarChild.  At that point, just shut it down and watch your favorite alternate ending on YouTube.  My personal favorite is in my sig.

I'm actually feeling worse.

Originally, I didn't feel as upset as others did. In fact, I even accepted the ending for what it was. But after a couple days went by, I had time to really reflect on what it all meant, and it made me really upset. For me, this isn't just an issue of bad writing. It's an issue of completely short changing us a proper ending to a 100 hour + investment. I could have accepted an ending I did not like. One that was depressing, or was just a scenario I felt was poorly concieved.

But I can't accept Shepard's journey ending with "pushing a button" (metaphorically speaking), and then a 2-3 minute cut up of random scenes that are incoherent and make no sense. No, I can't accept that.

Which is a shame, because I loved ME3, and might even argue it was the best game in the series for me. I was completely happy up until the star child. And even though I didn't love Star Child, again I could have accepted it and did accept it during the dialogue leading up to the button push. But it was all handled so poorly from the middle of the convo on out.  

My feelings about this only get stronger with more reflection and time, sadly.

I got over the ME3 ending one day after I finished it, two days ago by the way, and I'm now doing a second run through since I pretty much rushed through ME3. I didn't scan planets or complete any real side quests, so now I'm finishing that up and I now have more war assets than I did in my first run through. Better play some multiplayer so my readiness bar goes above 50%

[DusksCrown]

Just survive one more week guys and gals. Hopefully, you'll find something or someone else to occupy your time with and your memory of ME3 will have faded enough to bear. Don't lose hope for some alterations to the ending but don't let it consume you.

If there's one thing ME3 should have taught you, it's life is full of disappointment. Even the things that are supposed to help you escape from that can fall prey to it.

does anyone know if there has been any form of official response?

Give it at least till a work day or two... If they didn't plan this as a marketing stunt from the get go I would NOT want to be in that emergency meeting in the morning.  

There was a comment that hinted there was stuff in the works that would make fans very happy, and that he didn't want to comment (before getting permission) 

[Penthesilea180]

Honestly, I think I am still in shock. I felt confused right after I finished and reloaded from the autosave to see if I could better understand the ending. Of course, that didn't happen. Then I was pretty depressed. I felt better yesterday and did some work, but now I can't concentrate. The De-motivational memes thread helped though. Laughter usually kicks me out of a funk like this, but I keep coming back to simple shock.

[Scoliosis]

Bought the game March 6th 12 AM
Beat the game March 8th @ 3AM
Swore to never buy another Bioware or EA product ever again March 8th at 3:35 AM
Hearing that there's a "Secret" ending when you import a new game+ but entirely too depressed and hopeless to even touch my shepard. Too depressed to even capitalize the S in shepard. No motivation to play multiplayer, feel like I wasted 5 years of my life.

[TheInvicibleCandyBar]

I just finished it and I think i'm in a state of shock. It doesn't make sense to me that Bioware would make this the ending. The entire ME series is all tainted to me now.

[moteh]

Yesterday when I woke up I was so excited cause I had a dream where they released a DLC which expanded upon the ending making it so Shepard survived all three choices but the Citadel itself was not working to release the energy necessitating a change of tactics and an extension on the storyline to have a better conclusion...

I love the ME universe, I read the books, I am part of a table top RPG group that runs a ME game (Using the Shadowrun 4E rules), and the endings have actually caused me to stay up at night, have restless sleep when I can, and actually become depressed all because of the emotional investment in the series is ruined the second I get on the citadel elevator.

Bioware, you want Shepard to die and be an end for the trilogy, I have no problems with that story and I always knew Shepard would make the ultimate sacrifice. I really don't even have a problem with the metaphysical starchild, I just want to have a decent send off to the rest of the characters that I have spent 5 years getting to know. Honestly, a $5 DLC that has full epilogues for the surviving important characters and crew would be all I need, no need for voice work, no need for new in-game locations, just some CGI scenes maybe showing the characters in a brief glimpse into their lives after the war and a couple paragraphs.

Bioware gave me the game I paid for, just not the game I wanted...Suicide fetishes (though Mordin's was a tear jerker) and terrible endings that make no sense. Let's Deus Ex up that ending and then add a Normandy on the run <SMH WTH>, blah...played through twice though...but I won't touch it again.

I actually enjoyed Deus Ex HR's ending. It made me think real hard about what I should do. But Deus Ex also made sense. ME3's endings failed that.

[DanSbez]

I have gotten over it a bit, but having random outcries about it when I talk to friends and other gamers. I really really want the endings redone! So far I believe in its a hallucination theory that the Reapers have him slightly indoctrinated and the whole Starkid thing was a trick to let them win. Hopefully a free DLC or patch with come to have an alternate ending. If its DLC we have to pay...well....damn...XD

[AlterEgo3561]

I was up until about 5 A.M. yesterday morning because I could not stop thinking about it and was really depressed. Even now whenever I hear that dang piano tune the feeling is like... (and this is sad) it’s like someone you loved deeply has either just broken your heart... or died... that’s the only thing I can compare it too.

To me the whole series was an inspiration, a message that no matter the odds you can overcome anything. I mean hell that’s what "Tale Back Earth" led you to believe, that no matter how bad it was, with determination you could come out on top. Hell everyone in the games talks about the genophage like it will always exist, in ME3 you prove them wrong. Everyone in the games acts like the only way the get/quarian war will end is with genocide, in ME3 you prove them wrong. With the three possible endings it just took that feeling of pride and determination and hope and took a giant reaper beam to it. Instead of nothing is impossible it became no matter how hard you try no matter how much you go through your determination is meaningless.

The sad thing is I feel like I am Shepard and Bioware is Sovereign telling me that everything I could do in the end would be futile. GG Sovereign... you win....

Wow. Thank you for this thread. I thought it was just me. I've been thinking about the game non-stop for about three days, thought I was going crazy or something, but reading these posts has helped. Glad to see the game had the same effect on others. It is a testament to just how amazing the games are that the endings brought about this reaction in people.

Same for me. Replayed the end to see each posibility and it just made thing worse. Had to return to work today and was distracted the entire time, going over the endings trying to find a way to justify them.

[BrowncoatN7]

After getting to know your characters over three games, roughly 100 hours per character carefully making choices I thought would be important in the end, I feel like a someone punched me in the stomach, followed by a headbutting krogan.

I finished the game yesterday, and today I'm feeling a bit better, mostly because I've managed to convince myself that those last few minutes never happened. I hope for an alternate ending DLC, but in the words of Tidus from FFX, this is my story. I reject your ending and substitute my own, I guess.

Knowing that other people feel the same way helps

Great I thought the ending was fine

[Umbrellamage]

 I watched this.

Cheered me up enough to maybe go play the first two again.  Not touching 3 again until something happens.

[magnuskn]

No. The lack of response by BioWare only made my resentment fester.

[DevApp]

After a day and a half of deep depression i got over it with the help of some shopping therepy and a little bit of comedy. Still hurts, though, and I can't see myself picking up a controler for the foreseeable future.
