Still enraged, confused. A little sad. Resentful because I knew they would drop the ball. Or at least I was afraid they were.

Horribly angry because all of the game was soooo good, up until the end. And I mean the very end. Like after TIM the end.

Anyway, I I re-wrote the ending to make myself feel better, check the link in my sig.

Personal retcons are definitely the way to go

I feel better because I've gotten to the point of denial where I'm choosing to go the "it was a hallucination/indoctrination!" path. Now, I know that it's a long shot, but there's enough compelling argument to make me not feel so foolish and able to look at my CE's without as much disappointment as before.

In a weird way, that thread has helped a lot.  It has some pretty good reasoning that actually makes my flat out denial of the endings work. 


The worst part is that the whole rest of the game was great.  It felt like a fitting end to the series.  The final battles on Earth got kind of shakey, but I was rolling with it right up until the very end.  Then we all know what happened.  I'm just so upset that we were led to believe that the very end would rely on what we've done before.  Somehow I thought that all the talk of 1000 variable and multiple endings meant that it would be worth playing again because there was no way to see the other endings, but instead I'm placed in a bubble that doesn't care about whaever else I did.

Lets see... After I first played ME1 I played again as a new class using a different reputation IMMEDIATELY after beating the game the first time. I was HOOKED. And then I played once more after that. I've played several times intermittently after that.

ME2 was along the same lines. I played again immediately after beating it the first time and so on and so forth.

ME3 has, for the first time in ME history, given me a reason NOT to play again. It's just as painful thinking about playing the earlier titles too.

So yeah, I'm pretty pissed still and I doubt I'll ever load up ME3 again unless they fix it.

I've been pretty depressed over the past 2 days. No closure, the lies from Bioware, the palate swaps, the dreadful feeling that this ending makes a perfect segway to loads of dlc we'll be forced to pay for to receive any sense of satisfaction from what could have very well been an intentionally unfulfilling ending for that same reason.

Here, in the forums waiting for them to throw me a bone with a dlc.

Not doing so well....but then I have only been done the game for about 24 hours. I feel slightly ashamed for grieving for imaginary characters....but oh well.
I've had a horrendous last year, ME3 was something I was really looking forward to....and I get this. I mean, the game had some amazing moments....but somehow that makes the end worse. I've spent nearly two years playing through with different Shepards, setting up different choices and stories.....only to get railroaded into what I consider the worst ending for any series I've ever loved. Two years waiting, and its all over in four days.....it seems surreal, I keep thinking "I cant wait for ME3!.....oh right"
I was expecting this game to keep me occupied for months....and I find myself feeling physicaly ill at the thought of putting it on again.

Same for me.  Part of me wishes I could build a time machine and tell myself on 12/8/11 not to preorder the  CE edition.  It will ruin the whole series for you.

Not going to lie, it's been about a day and the REalization of how much they have screwed up only seems to be getting worse...

[Diego L7D]

I feel... betrayed. I don't think I could play the games again, I already tried and it was just too painful.

[sTrYkZ1LLa]

Ending sucked....how did they get back on the Normandy to be stranded when they were on earth So many questions unanswered ??? I can't even load another run through what's the point....but multiplayer is fun as hell... I was planning on running through this with all my Shepards but it's pointless. I'll be playing multi and waiting for witcher 2 I can't stomach another run through this game.

[Triple4]

After playing the end, then sleeping, I woke up the next morning, depressed, and didn't wanna get up to do anything. Just really angry now.

[Sovereign z]

Still killing me, but the forums have given me motivation to do a second playthrough. Although it's very hard to ignore the giant elephant in the room after every mission. Just hoping that the hallucination idea turns out to be correct. If not, I will never touch any of my Mass Effects again.

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 feel the exact same way.

I went into Mass Effect 3 with a near certainty that Shepard would die. I mean, a cottage in a quiet little corner of the universe with little blue babies just didn't seem a likely ending for someone who accomplished so much. It would have been ideal, but even heroes die and I expected Shepard to be no different. But I thought we would see the fruits of our labor. A montage of Quarians and Geth working together, the council races finally embracing humanity as equal while they rebuild the universe. Krogan on the citadel... and yes, maybe I hoped against hope there would be a brief view of Liara raising a young asari daughter. Instead I feel like I got a 100+ hour lecture on technophobia.

[Foulpancake]

still no better, depressed, empty, etc

no desire to play even other games really, try my hardest not to see my crews faces

only better endings will fix i think

Same here.  I was planning on being pretty productive today, and then I realized that I was so upset I couldn't focus.  

[thedistortedchild]

Sad. Confused. Angry. rinse and repeat and you have my feelings on the matter.

This ^

It's the only thing keeping me from trading in my game. Several of my friends won't even buy the game until they find out what is going on for sure.

Again, pretty much 100% this.

 You know, I was really sad , I've invested over $300 into these games and DLC and to end it with this? Not very rewarding. However the CE Guide stated that there was a secret ending for a second playthrough and right now, for all of you who are too emotionally distraught to continue with this series, I'm fighting as Shepard, once again to find that ending for US, and to make sure that Bioware didnt kick us in the balls. Maybe they gave us our closure, maybe they wanted to delay us so that they EU could play it before the NA found out whjat happens. But I'm going to do it for all of you and post back when I find it. I want my choices to matter, I want to be reunited with my lost love Miranda, to see the Geth be free of their opposition, the Krogan rebuild, the Turians take back Palaven, the entire ****ING GALAXY I JUST UNITED BACK HOME AT PEACE, and most of all, I want to see that my friend Garrus and I are up at that bar in Heaven, still trying to see who's the best shot. I'm... I- I have NEVER had such an emotional thrill ride as the Mass Effect trilogy, it's the first series/game/movie to make me cry and be enraged at things in a GAME.  A beautiful story crafted just for us. Literally, I, Bandit Shepard, am in tears, and have been for the three hours since I beat, no, not "beat", died, or rather, came to the end of my story in Mass Effect 3.  I will be back, and I WILL have closure soon. Just, until then, tell them... I held the line... because someone else, might've gotten it wrong.... I'll see you guys in about ten hours, get some rest, then check back for my results. Bandit, out... <3:bandit:

I've come to the believe the hallucination/indoctrination theory and it makes me feel so much better about the endings. I tried playing Mass Effect 1 today I became a Spectre and stopped. Seeing the Citadel again, it just brought up bad memories from the ending. I'm dealing but I'm still very upset about it. I'll probably play Mass Effect 3 again but I'll stop it when Shepard gets hit by the laser.

[Fikenator]

to be honest when i beat the game it was around 1:20 am and i couldn't get to sleep until around 4. the next day i couldn't stop thinking about what happened and how a game that brought me to tears with such an emotional story could end with no closure at all. I had been depressed all day until i vented to my father, my mother, my friends hell i even told my grand parents about it. i showed my Grandmother the ending and she couldn't understand why it ended the way it did. of course i explained the story to her first. i even wrote my own 3 page ending just so i could have my own sense of closure. i Couldn't even focus at my job today. I'm OCD so it was pretty bad for me.

I intended to play through them all again now i only wanna play the 1st 2.  i even bought the books since i had never read them and today i couldn't even look at them. i'm getting over it but after spending over 100 hours on all 3 games i just feel like everything i did in them meant nothing at all, and that is what really sad.
