So.. As with most of us on these forums, The endings were something left to be desired. I too were amung the many that were bombarded with the feelings of Sorrow, anger, betrayal, and then it melted into a mild depression. I turned off the game and sat around for a moment to take in what had actually happen. The sinking feeling in my gut began to knot up as all the past memories I had since ME1. It had the same impact as the real friends I lost in Iraq.
So with puffy eyes and the many, many attempts at stopping my self from crying, I turned to these forums to see if I was just being silly, getting this worked up over a game.. Behold, I was not alone, in fact there are many. I took the time to read as many threads as I could taking in all the other people's experiences. I was amazed on how much the same so many were feeling about the same game.
now that a few days have past, and the many thanks to the threads that have tried to lighten the mood (Me motovational!) and the many threads that break it down with the many different views on what might have happend. Oh and lets not forget the threads that are theroy crafting the "Dream" hope. These have truely helped gain some prespective and compsure, Thank you BSN.
I still do not agree with these endings and I still wish for all of our voices to be herd, Hold the line, and await what is said from Bioware. I do however can tollerate these endings enough to go back and replay some of my favorite moments in the ME trilogy. At first I was thinking like many, what is the point, it all ends the same. This line of thinking left a even more horrid feeling as I began to think of the idea of never playing anything ME again. This did not sit well with me, I enjoyed so many moments with ME1 and much more with ME2 just to let the ending of ME3 ruine that.
I still have my relap moments while doing this 3rd playthough were i stop and begin to think again, what is the point. But the driving force to play those awesome moments in ME3 again prevails.
Keep fighting the good fight, and never back down, Thank you every one in the BSN
Doing my 3rd play through

I'm tempted to go back and start at the first game again. A distraction for a few weeks. Can't touch ME3 though, not till I at least get word on things. I hold hope that they change things, they just have to. ME2 I don't know about but ME1 seems to be far enough from the radiation that is ME3's ending.

I can't even get off Earth, you must be a legend like "the Shepard."

I can't get past Walking out of the Shuttle on Mars on my second one. A third one ... I can only imagine you being a masochist.

I can't get past Mars on my 2nd playthrough. I just feel emptiness.

Really? Are you not bored with most of the dialogue remaining exactly the same. :/

I wish I could play through any of the ME games again, but knowing how nothing I do makes a difference in the end keeps me from doing so.

I mean, is it really bothering you? I'm having a hard time doing my second playthrough because of it.

I was thinking could this game hit a note on a player with the combined events and music to actually create a depressed state in the player? From what I can tell looking into my own depressed/ emptiness from experiencing the ending, that possibly the combination of action heighten then the explosion just before the Shepard walks to the light with the plus of confusion and adding in the music- could this combination of events actually cause a state of depressed emotions. I wonder if there is any psychology that backs up the idea that a state of mind can be created like certain combinations of music or sounds can bring you to a meditation state,..so could a combination of others cause a depressed state.
Just saying since I see a good deal of people experiencing the same feelings/ emotions.

Hats off to you, seriously. I've been struggling through my second play through for three days now. I can't stay focused, there's no drive.
Today a few times I opened up the soundtrack files and played track "I'm Proud of You." It just kills me. It puts me into such a severe state of sadness. I'm bouncing between anger and depression (over a video game, I mean wtf!?) and hoping apathy will set in soon.

Did you by chance receive the Stargazer and breathing scene at the end of your ME3 playthrough? I'm curious if anyone has done a NG+ on a finished ME3 game meeting both those requirements. I don't have much hope that it will be anything, but perhaps it's worth a try.

I am amazed by your determination and will, true Shepard! well I got my kicks together by doing some programming project work ... felt ME3 ending marked a point in my life that I have move on and never go back,

I'm trying to get past the first cutscene on my second play through. I'm trying to make myself believe that there is a super secret, non-plot hole riddled ending that you unlock on your second try.

You really are persistend, I can give you that.
But me...
This is what I have posted 15 mins ago on our pool thread:
And here me going again...
Tried to start a complete new run today, pure new character straight from ME1 to.... we all know where.
My tears went out after 20 minutes of that gameplay.
I don't have the strength to go thru all this again and just to walk my heroine to another funeral...
They really did it.
They have killed Shepard.
Shepard is gone.
Forever.
But me...
