 Bad. I feel empty. I'm not even angry, I'm just saddened that the Bioware I loved for so long did this. It broke my heart that all that effort over the last 6 years have gone to waste. It feels like someone's twisting a knife in my heart.

Two days of depression (literally crying and not wanting to eat food) > numb > furious with Bioware for not realizing that they'd upset THIS MANY people and with clueless people who insist that we're entitled.

That'll teach me to ever get attached to a character I made in a Bioware game.

I'm still incredibly depressed about the whole thing...and I'm dying to play the game again. I'd love to run through the missions and catch things I didn't on my first run. Then I think about the ending, and I just can't bring myself to pick up the controller.

This

yep

Still wake up during the night screaming "Nooooooooooooooooooooo". Well not really screaming, but still waking up and feeling bad....

lol the light on my laptop to say it's charging is blue... Whilst sleeping last night I opened my eyes to face it, then quickly rolled over to the other side because I thought I was trying to be indoctrinated..... Sad?
Ahhh... what this game has done to me.

This thread makes me incredibly sad. Not because of the game's endings, but because my generation is apparently leading such unimportant and responsibilty free lives that 10 minutes at the end of a video game is enough to keep them depressed for days.

Seriously, get a grip guys.

Just because someone is upset about an unsatisfying ending to one of the best stories of this generation, doesn't mean they lead "unimportant lives." Some people's lives are bogged down with responsibility, and this game was a break from reality, an opportunity to escape everyday life and enjoy an elaborate story. Since that story is effectively meaningless after the ending, it can be depressing.

Don't assume to know someone based on what makes them upset. It just makes you look like an idiot.

I've been hospitalized for a few hours at the St. Benezia's clinic on Thessia. They've still got an IV full of awesome button in my arm, it's helping to dull out the pain. It's been 5 days so far. I'm trying to think about all the good endings in gaming's history, trying to blur out the tingling pain in my mind. I don't know if I'm going to make it...the doctors aren't optimistic, either.

If this is the last post I write, let it be known that I love my first 2 ME endings very much, and I'll miss them when I'm gone. Oh god, I can see the starchild again... there's a light... should I go towards it?

Aaaaand I'm done.

Can't get myself to play any more Mass Effect, be it the first, second or third game. Because now I know how the story completely fizzles at the end and nothing matters.

[fahnskap]

 Finished it yesterday afternoon. I'm wishing I listened to my girlfriend when she told me that I should ALT+F4 when a platform moves up. I knew a lot of people were displeased by the ending, but I had no idea what was in store for me.

All the while through my initial playthrough, I was thinking about how awesome it'd be to do a second, entirely different, playthrough - since choices matter, amirite. My therapy for dealing with this sham of an ending is reading about how other people in the same situation feel about this whole ordeal.

Sorry, some of us actually like video games and we get pretty emotionally invested in our hobby.

I just finished the game last night and I felt sooo let down.  I took a look at the forums to see if there were any other alternative endings I might have failed to unlock and found none.  My only comfort is that I know I'm not the only one let down by the direction Bioware has taken with ending ME.  After countless hours of play through all 3 games I felt invested in the storyline so as an ME fan I feel I deserved better.  All ME fans deserved better.  I understand Bioware is free to do whatever they want with their storylines and their DLC (which I'm not going to get started on).  Yes Mass Effect is their property and I was mistaken in thinking it also belonged to the fans.  Some may applaud the gritty and dark endings as some kind of realistic and brave choice Bioware has taken.  To those folks I say if you want grit, realistism, and unhappy endings sit and watch cable news for a couple hours.  Plenty of tragedies which you have no influence or say on there.  Or better yet join the army like I did and get deployed to some **** hole so you can experience it  firsthand.  I didn't choose to play ME for any of that.  I'll just end by saying to Bioware do whatever you want because I'm done with YOUR games and YOUR DLC.  I'm sinking MY money elsewhere.

[Landline]

I'm fine. I've rejected the endings Bioware provided and substituted them with my own.

[bawb44]

I for one, and am apparently the only one, enjoyed the ending, it was a perfect end to the Shepard story. I can not wait for the next chapter. So the relays got destroyed, so the Normandy is stranded.... Think of all the epic sci-fi movies that end on a downer only to come back in the next chapter and whoop some serious intergalactic butt. I am currently on my NG+ and will still play it for a long time, because the endings are great the way they are. I am looking forward to the DLC missions also.

Upset =/= Depressed

I get people being upset at the endings. I was upset too. But I've already read more than one post say they cried for a few days and one I just read said they lost their appetite. I'm sorry, but if a video game ending is enough to get you to this sad for days, then you literally have nothing else of importance going on in your life.

I just had a son and my wife and I just bought a house. Video games are my escapism. I have been a huge fan of Mass Effect since the first one. I didn't like the endings to this one. But I've still got to figure out how to be a good father and pay the bills. With all my real life worries, ten minutes at the end of an otherwise excellent video game is not enough to get me depressed for days and I'm not tougher than any of you.

Amen!

Agreed, furthermore, everyone has their hobbies & passions. Who are you to say just "a video game"?

I dont beleive in putting anyone down about the things they enjoy. Or putting people down about anything for that matter. So im being partially hypocritical with this statement i'm about to make, 

Good on you for being outspoken. Not only do you now look like an idiot, but also a very sour person.

Well...it is truly amazing how much impact Sheps fate had on me emotionally...it may be
a fictional character, alright, but the human mind has this amazing power called
fantasy. It has the power to create entire worlds, human beings, everything you can imagine, all inside
your head. I mean...c'om this IS amazing if you think about it!

So much for all the people complaining about "it's just a game, get over it!"

I don't want to get over it. It is just a game...but it tells a story, and like any good story, it should make you feel. and sadly, i felt a lot after the ending. Mostly disbelief, than anger, hatred, dissapointmend, sadness..

How many games can claim that for themselves? Not a lot, I am sure...

Yet still, these endings...I refuse to accept them. I refuse to let them be the conclusion to all this. It cannot be, it is a bad joke.

And all my hopes are now that Bioware is indeed joking. That they are pulling the greatest marketing gag in game history. That within days or weeks Bioare will release a little DLC called" Did you really think this was the end?"

What gives me hope is how unreal all of the citadel feels. Shep getting hit by that beam...then her armor...and Anderson...and that kid from her own subconscious...and why did they explicitly mention that Harbinger is coming himself down to earth, if he didn't have anything to do? Not a single line?

Maybe...hopefully, all we saw was just Harbingers way of indoctrinating Shep...A DLC could easily step in here, and give us a far more interesting ending...Also, every ME so far had some epic boss-battle in the end...ME3? Just dialogue? No last gun-blazing action? Nothing?

I refuse to believe this...and for the days to come now I will hope...hope, that is what Shep is preaching throughout the entire series...and for now, I will listen to her, believe in her...maybe she is right...

[Chaife]

i have to agree with what the others are saying, i've just been feeling down the last couple days... i thought it was ridiculous at first, but this thread has helped.

Thank you.

You aren't the only one. I found it a satisfying conclusion.

I liked it. Found it to be a really hopeful endin, which was surprisin considerin how people on here talk about it. I look forward to what comes next in the Mass Effect Universe.

I for one am one of these people who is having a real bad time. I work 30 hours a week and have lots of friends and a bf.

If your life was as you claim it to be, you wouldn't spend your spare time badgering people about how they feel over the internet.
