Ever feel like not feel like eating for 5 straight days, just simply want to do nothing but walk outside for hours and hours just because this is the first time you've felt this horrible? That's what I'm going through. Never in my life, especially as a graduate student in Physics have I thought my mental state would get wrecked just by a single game.

[mpgeist]

Same exact feelings. I tried to play the multiplayer but can't. I can't even play any other games for some reason. So much of this game is good. I was even very skeptical that they would pull it off too. To have such a poor ending with no closure is almost worse than just having the whole game be terrible.

[heretica]

I can pretty much relate to this. It's been two days and I feel like a zombie. I don't know why I'm this sad, it's just a game, right? :/

[Xellith]

Ditto. Maybe we will get a response to this within a reasonable timeframe - and by reasonable timeframe I mean so that people can still return their copy to the store.

You're not alone.

[Simzyy]

I feel you man. I'm 3rd year Physics student too! (guess physics students love ME lol)
But jesus I'm proper sad....no film/TV show/Game has ever made me so depressed. I expected the game to be sad, but i expected all of it to be for a feel good factor at the end. But no...just sadness whole way. Bioware did an amazing job with 99% of the game, and its not like i will no longer buy bioware games. but i certainly will try not to get emotionally invested again. The feeling is horrible

I've started another in hopes of there being a DLC. Although it's still amazing, knowing whats going to happen in the end is making this playthrough no where near as enjoyable as it was the first time I played it when I was unaware of what was going to happen.

I guess it's true, ignorance is bliss.

[cactusberry]

I feel really depressed too... Mass Effect has been literally the only thing on my mind since I first heard about it. It's like a loss in the family.

[streamlock]

I never expected a Disney happy party closer to Shep's story....but yeah. I can't even bring myself to play the multi-player at this point. As strange as that sounds.

 Man, I loved the game so much untill the ending. There were so many fantastic, touching moments in my
playthrough.

And even the ending itself had these awesome moments emotionally. From an emotional point it is close to perfect for me. This is the way I expected it to end(again, emotionally) and it is amazing to see a game having such an effect.

But the story-side...oh boy. I won't be able to touch this game for quite a couple of days...

It's weird really. There is this emotional sadness coming from the things experienced in the game that is really great in its way. And then there is this sadness about what BioWare has done to the story. Can't figure out which has the prevalence just yet.
Edit: I think it's the emotional sadness. I'll just ignore the stupid explanations and get on with griefing over my squadmates and not knowing what happened to them, all the races and thinking back to the great moments in all three games.
And the smiling Liara in the crucible beam sequence...

I feel the same way Simzyy.. I am even finding it hard to play other games. I just don't want to play anything. This is really a strange feeling that I personally have never gotten from a game. Maybe it is because the game is good but the ending is crap. all the past crap games were just bad all the way but not like this. This take talent to get this kind of messed up feeling.

I've already lost 6 kilograms on near-fasting over 5 days and constant walking. Good for my health maybe. But god do I feel like a zombie.

I'm a single parent to 5 children and I thought I'd been through everything, I've never given up on anything and my determination is legendary (to me at least ) but this.... I have never felt so empty, alone, saddened... I am struggling to just motivate myself to make dinner, prepare school lunches, hell, even go to bed right now and its a bloody game for gods sake...
I think this, more than anything shows just how well Bioware have done their job, how much we love the ME universe and they just ripped our hearts out with the most hopeless ending ever.

ME3 should come with a health warning, "Abandon hope all who play this game..."

[MinatheBrat]

I hear you. Part of me feels like such an idiot- I actually went to a midnight opening and started playing ME3 in the middle of the night because I was so excited to continue my journey to saving the galaxy. First time in my life I've been such a fangirl, but I loved ME1 and ME2- I had three complete Sheps of different classes and scenarios ready to import into ME3.
But...after that horrible end experience of a magnitude I can't even express I can't even conceive of dragging my other Sheps (and myself) through it again.
Its been a few days and I'm still sort of numb about it all.

After finishing the game - I gave it a day wait and tried importing a different Shep. Turned it off before even getting off Earth.. I feel like I'll never enjoy Mass Effect again.

[The Angry One]

With Mass Effect 1 and 2, I played the endings over and over
Storming the Citadel and confronting Saren while the fleet battle raged above.
Attacking the Collector Base, paying them back for all the pain they caused Shepard.

These were epic moments they made me a silly fangirl.
Then came ME3. It was almost there. Almost had that same epic I'm going to do this bit then reload and DO IT AGAIN and then... THAT THING happened.

And now I can't even touch any of the games. Previously wonderful memories are soured by the knowledge that none of it matters and it's all going to hell.

[Sorayai]

I completely agree with you

I really was going to play all the mass effects again, but after that ending... i just cant even load the game anymore

[TheDove]

I can't do a replay. Seems pointless. First time thats happened with mass effect.

[LadyofRivendell]

I'm with you on that boat, TC. I just now stopped crying, an hour after beating the game, yet I still feel like throwing up at any moment. I've never felt this attached to a video game, and after that I feel like I just got shot in the gut, punched in the face, pushed off a cliff, and ran over by angry elephants. I'll be wearing my sunglasses for the rest of the day, at least I can try to avoid having people ask me why I look like I've been sobbing.

[vrumpt]

Trying to fight it but i'm still the same way. Years of passion just destroyed in a matter of minutes.

Seriously,  before this I wouldn't have imagined that a single game of all things could get me depressed enough to grab a bottle of bourbon and just sit at my desk not motivated enough to do much of anything.  Finished my playthrough around 3am last night and had trouble actually getting to sleep.  Now today, I can't bring myself to do much of anything except lurking the forums here.

I'm trying so hard to replay ME1, but I keep thinking of the ending and sort of coming to tears (doesn't help both sets of grandparents have been in our the hospitals the last few weeks so it probably isn't helping the depression), but I never in my wildest dreams though a game could make me actually depressed, at first I was just hurt, but after the coming days I got more and more depressed, almost to the point of not playing games for a few days...so sad, never thought that could happen, puts even more damping on it:

Side note I can barely stand to watch the TV shows I so adore....it's hard to think of anything else atm.....

The reason why so many are feeling so emotionally distraught is because our human brains don't differentiate between emotional bonds/connections based on a fictional construct or a real construct. If the game made you have true emotions, then your brain doesn't know/care that it was a game, which engendered the emotions. It's as real as anything that might happen in your everyday life.

And that's some cool, if depressing, science!
