When I see the N7 tags start to move, the only word I can use is epic. Then I pretend he goes and rescues his team / LI.
There's no way Shepard can rescue his crew cuz all of the mass relays has been destroyed. <_<

Not to mention, while this it is never explicitly stated, it would seem inferred to me. In the "destroy" ending the guardian clearly states that it would disable his implants. And just from what we hear about the state of shep's body before lazarus, makes it extremely questionable as to how he would sustain life without them. Plus the citadel semi blows up.

Pretty much sums it up for me right now........Gutted. Always was expecting to have a happy and fulfilled feeling when finishing ME3, now just pretty much feel like my heart has been ripped out.MrAtomica wrote...
Prior to the last 10 minutes or so:
Wow. Great game. This is just wonderful. Can't wait to see the conclusion, the epilogue, and start a new game.
After:
Wow. I'm done.

I do hope something is done. If Bioware doesn't do something, they're going to lose a good deal of business simply because people do not want to be hurt like this again.
There's enough of that in real life as it is.

In all honesty, I'm still pretty pissed off. I tried to start a new game + and just couldn't do it.

Pretty much this, coupled with a burning anger at the sheer stupidity of the ending.

I will never be able to play mass effect ever again. After I suffered through that terrible ending I took a deep breath and started to play ME1 again but stoped after I landed on Eden Prime thinking to myself what's the point. The entire trilogy is ruined for me. Hundreds of hours wasted and for what? Nothing! I hate you bioware and especially you EA because I know this is your fault somehow.
hold the line drak! it's like we're roleplaying shepard outside the game. He must be indoctrinated in those final moments, it just wont make sense any other way

I'm not sure how I feel, really. I had several expectations. I was fully prepared for Shepard to die, but I also was very open to him living happily ever after. Both of those are a bit cliche, but for a series on this scale, that's okay. A series with this much thought and dedication put into it is fully worthy of a cheesy ending, right? There's no need to pull some fast non-sense out of nowhere, right? Right...?
Hmph.
And from what I understand, there are seventeen different potential endings. Not one, not two, SEVENTEEN. That's quite a few. Perhaps one could be walking into the sunset a hero. One of those endings could involve taking control of the Reapers and becoming the supreme dictator of the galaxy. Hell, one of those endings could be a massive failure and the Reapers take Earth... one of those endings could even be Shepard making the ultimate sacrifice and destroying all advanced technology in the universe and his closest friends crashing onto some remote planet. THAT'S FINE. If they wanted that to be an option, that's fine. But the only option?
I know I'm beating an extremely dead horse here, and that I'm saying something that's been said plenty of times already, but c'mon. In a game that is all about making choices, about developing a true personality, the very last sequence is appropriate. The player is given some very different choices to make, and that decision will change the galaxy forever.
But all of the choices amazingly have the same outcome?
Okay, so Anderson dies in this one. Alright, you accidentally may have wiped out the geth. These are all appropriate potential consequences... but why would controlling the Reapers, destroying the Reapers, and synthesizing all organic life somehow all result in the Normandy crashing on a distant planet? I didn't need a perfectly happy ending, but I'd love for that to be possible! Why should I even bother with another playthrough? Why should I see what will happen if I play as a renegade, or if I romance Tali rather than Liara, or if screw over the Krogan with a false cure for the genophage?
No matter what I do, Shepard sends the galaxy back hundreds of years. He doesn't get to grow old with Liara and have blue children. He doesn't get to play the martyr and preserve the galaxy. No matter what, he prevents the Reapers from tearing the galaxy apart... and then practically does it himself.
Keep in mind, I'm usually an optimist. I was preparing for something bittersweet. I was ready to say, "Yeah, I can see why someone may not like that. But it works." But it doesn't work. It doesn't work as the only possible outcome. It doesn't make sense in a game which revolved around choices (and I could start an entirely new rant on what ME3 did with our choices in the past) because in the end, none of them meant a damn thing.
Don't get me wrong, I loved this game. I was dreading coming to the end of it, and not because of what people said about that ending, but because I didn't want to see this incredible saga come to a close. This was still one of the most intense and engaging stories I've ever been a part of. My Shepard wasn't just some character on the TV, he was an extension of myself. A powerful personality that I was able to shape in any way I wanted. His relationships with the other characters were also my relationships with those characters. When Shepard was mourning the loss of Mordin or Thane, so was I. I'm still extremely grateful for this awesome experience that BioWare made possible... but I just feel robbed. I made specific choices, but any of those other options, those other interrupts, those other romances would have brought me to this exact moment... sitting on my computer feeling incredibly defeated.
Forgive me for this rant, but I can see I'm among people of the same thoughts here. Perhaps after a few days I will feel a bit less conflicted, but I just had to get this off my chest.

The rest of that day, and the day afterward, was just depression, and frustration. Everyone around me was a little worried, I just couldn't smile. I'm not one who cries, but it was getting close. I couldn't sleep well, I kept replaying the ending in my head on loop. At a couple points I thought maybe it was a bad dream I was going to wake up from. I went through a constant struggle between feeling utter sadness and disbelief that this was really the end, and anger that everything I had been looking forward to for so many years was just never going to happen.
It's been a few days, and I'm still far from "over it". I still absolutely refuse to accept that this is the end. One way or another, we need this fixed. The physical stuff is definitely better, and my mood has been lightened by the tight-knit community we've formed here, but I'm far from over. Seeing the numbers, seeing the uniformity, I know we can do this. My Shepard WILL get what he deserves. Call this "denial", I call it perpetual hope and resolve.
Sorry if this was too dramatic or long-winded, but it's a brutally honest retelling of my own personal experience. No hyperbole here, but I'm not hiding anything.

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.
In a nutshell.
