[NOV Krypt]

 I've had the game beat for a few days now and honestly I've tried to do a second playthrough and can't.  I don't even know if I can play the first two games even though I really enjoyed them.  

It's funny because I've never actually posted in a forum for anything, but in this case, I feel I need to add my voice to the majority of you who are disappointed with the endings as I am.  To all those people out there that think we just want a happy "disney" ending or whatever, you're very wrong.  For Mass Effect 3 to be the end of a trilogy that has captivated so many people and produced something that we really haven't seen before, ending it in such a way is a complete and total letdown.  

First, we want closure.  We need some sort of indication of what happened, because I'm telling you all I felt as those credits were rolling was "What just happened?".  The three main endings provide little variance as to the consequences of the galaxy and those around Shepard, even Shepard him/herself.  And just to throw this in there, while I likely would buy DLC to get any chance of redemption for this game, closure should have been present within the game itself.  

Second, and maybe the most confusing for a game based on choice, is the complete lack of it in the end.  So much auto-dialogue was completely surprising to me.  In the end, there is no way Commander Shepard, someone who was hailed as a leader, someone who survived "suicide missions", and someone who fell through an atmosphere and was rebuilt would even make responses such as those when he was approached with the three choices.  I can honestly say that as I was playing through the game, I thought this might be my favorite game ever, and then the run down the hill towards the reaper happened...just seemed like a complete 180.

Third, and maybe slightly along the lines of closure is the complete avoidance of anything pertaining to your squad(both ME1 and ME2).  I mean, come on, at least make a acknowledgement of Tali and Garrus who have been in your squad in every game.  But no, nothing.  Well, unless you consider Garrus or whoever stepping out of the normandy for a whole 10 seconds at the end...and we get 30 seconds with our ME2 squadmates over vidcomm, seriously that would have been fine had we had any clue what happened to them...oh and where were are war assets, where were my "elcor tanks" or my "volus bombing fleet"...I had alliance on the ground and like 2 asari...in a game heavily based on uniting the races, seeing that in the end was terribly disappointing.  Altogether I felt like the ME2 Squad were treated as afterthoughts which was disgusting to me.  

There are many more things regarding the ending that I don't understand or wish were different, but I do not feel like writing a book so yea...for all those fans in the same boat as me, I feel your pain.

I beat it last night around when daylight savings kicked in so been almost a full day. Honestly, I feel about the same as I did 20 or so hours ago when I watched the ending.

I'll just say that this Sunday has been incredibly unproductive for me. I simply can't get ME3 out of my mind. Been on the forums literally all day while emptying a bottle of bourbon at my desk....

 The problem ultimately stems from the antagonists.

they're so powerful, it's the equivalent of taking on an army of Kryptonians, and expecting to win by using kryptonite gauntlets to kill 1 after the other.

That's just absurd. so it essentially needs said Kryptonians to agree to some sort of outcome.

The game needed some sort of Superman clause to turn the impossible into a winnable environment.

3 days have passed....
I'm not getting out of home still, eating little, and not even smoking (do not feel like going out to buy cigarettes - which is actually good), and not doing much besides reading the forums...
I have a ''N7'' tattooed on my wrist, which used to make me feel good while looking at it (not for being a ME fan, but for what I've ''learned'' from ME)... and since going through that ending... it hurts to look at it still.
I'd call myself a fool, but I do understand that it is not ''just a game''. Life is made out of experiences, and going out with friends, having a relationship, watching a movie, reading a book, playing a game, - they all count as experiences. And they are all real to my feelings, and get responses out of it. So yea. Pretty down still.

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.

I'm with you.

[Baldrick67]

I'm now angry.

Angry with BW for ending the series on such a sour note. I had over 6000 strength and 100% rediness and even that wasn't enough to get a ending that was going to leave me fulfilled.

Angry with myself for getting worked up over a video game. But then I did put hundreds of hours into the ME games and I was a loyal fan buying all the DLC and the collectors edition for ME3.

Why couldn't they have rewarded those who wanted a moment of happiness and closure at the end of what was a pretty harrowing final game

[Guccimayne]

I'm reading fan fiction and mind tricking myself into believing they are real.

This one takes the cake

I'm in ruins.
It may sound simple enough, but no words can really explain it in every bit of it's seriousness.

I'll give myself a few days until I get processed in my own terms after this totally pointless fabrication of harassment of my full integrity as a person.

And I know it will never pass. My favorite universe is signet into my memory forever. It's bad to have a bad experience and carry it in your memory for the rest of your days, leaving you enough time to evolve with it and put a close to it someday, but it will always be a part of you somewhere.

Having a fantastic experience full of sense and being forced to conclude it with emptiness by taking away from you any possible choices as human entity always have... leaves you with nothing, only emptiness as it is.
Emptiness is a devil without a face, with no tone, color or smell.
It's the worst enemy I ever had to confront with.

Holy ****. I just read that.

That... THAT is an ending I can back.

[lasertank]

It had been four days, and I never stop refreshing my BSN page.

[Genome852]

I feel pretty bad, but not as bad as when I finished watching BSG.

Then again I didn't think the ending was AWFUL, just very depressing.

[BigBossBoo]

 When I first beat the game last night (or morning... at like 2am), I was ok with the ending.  There were a few oddities, I missed a few others that I learned about coming here afterwards, but at the moment the only thing that bugged me was the normandy in relay transit.  And that my LI (Tali) was stranded on some random planet and couldn't get back to Rannoch, or to my Shepard.  Otherwise.. I was content.

Then I read the Hallucination theory and it made sense.. now throughout the day, I've had trouble doing anything... I read a lot about ME3 on the forums and internet.  I played the final mission again (to try to get the Shep lives and find new clues to the theory) and multi... but it was slow.. hard for some reason... I feel a lack of will to do anything..

Strange, BW really did indoctrinate a lot of us.

[Denethar]

Going between Rage, Sadness, Emptiness and a general sense of depression. That ME would ever make me feel like this is just....gut wrenching on a level I can't describe.

[Chuvvy]

I've accepted them for what they are. Of course the full extent of their horror was leaked onto the internet a few weeks before launch.

Yes, this.
My ending too.
I would only ad Normandy coming to my aid and saves me.

You ain't alone, mate. Not by a long shot.

I'm actually playing multiplayer more than the story knowing no matter what, the endings suck.

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.

Hey man your welcome, I was the same way!.

[Scoliosis]

I have never agreed with Adolf Hitler. Until now.

[Harorrd]

I completed the game yesterday, at first i was so shocked that i spent 5 hours on the forums trying to process what i actually saw for kind of crap. when fatigue finally caught at me i cried for the first time in like 10 years, i puked stomach acid twice and i was shaking the entire night. i woke up just to try and prosses what a bizzare ending they gave to us.

Its like they were forced by an devil in disguise to make the ending faster prio to relese, i was expecting more, not a dragon age 2 ending. not a Deus ex ending. a ME1 or ME2 ending...

I am going to puke again and i wont touch that fcking game series ever again until they either apology or patch it and make it genuine...

Until then i reject the ending and substitute my own...

[FanHarel]

I got over it. I though really hard about the endings and even posted my interpretations of them somewhere around here. Yeah, they weren't what I was hoping for, but what can you do short of all of us marching on up to Bioware's front gates with torches and pitch forks demanding them to give us the monster responsible for our grief?

[TheJediSaint]

I find sharing my feelings at 900 rounds-a-minute with Cerberus troopers to be quite therapeutic.

[WildGunsTomcat]

 Meh. I don't really care anymore. 

It's a video game. There are more things in life than Mass Effect. 

Would I have liked it to end the way I wanted, yeah. Am I going to cry about it? Nah. 

I don't understand people that cry and get depressed over a video game. 

When someone dies, you cry. When a video game doesn't end well......you deal with it like an adult. 

But, as I have said many times....Bioware my wallet is closed to you forever now. 

[Ileanos07]

Worst ending for the best gaming series. Thats all folks.

[Brenn86]

I'm caught between disappointed, outraged and depressed.
I feel like I wasted my time playing ME 1 & 2 to have it end like ME 3 did. If I don't think of the ending and just the journey all 3 games were great...but those last 10 minutes absolutely ruined it for me.
