I have spent 2 years and 10 playthroughs with 10 different characters at about 30 hrs a piece just to get my perfect FemShep only to watch her die tonight after all the hard work. I am so disappointed, that even though I was full paragon there was no happy ending for me, her or Anderson. Its just not fair.

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!

Interesting, I happen to agree.

I downed a bottle of whiskey that night. I think that may hint as to how the ending made me feel.
Do what a lot of people are doing- try your best to forget exactly how the ending went down and make up your own!

 I felt very dazed and confused. I had to go outside and get some fresh air only to end up pacing around my house a bit. I was immeresed and everything just built up to that end. 

The rest of the day I had to watch light hearted tv shows just so I wouldn't feel so down about it.

I can sympathize. The story, the reapers, it's all just background noise. The real value of Mass Effect is the characters and the reason people are so upset is there is almost no closure with any of them.

Its not about happy endings (although the option would be nice), it is about getting some closure and satisfaction.

The real kicker for me was the empowerment of the last few games fells ripped away from you at the last moment. No matter your choices, no matter how hard you fight, you cant win. For me thats depressing, i mean why bother? Might have well let the collectors win.

wtf bioware i knew the ending was bad but i didnt think could be SO BAD... no closure at all

[Impulse and Compulse]

Back in the demo I couldn't get enough of MP.

Now it just feels oddly empty.

[Phydeaux314]

The MP is great fun.

The Galactic Readiness just hurts whenever I see it pop up on the screen.

I picked the synthisis option the first time, It seemed like the only way to bring true peace to our Galaxy but at a cost of the Citadel and Mass Relays. When I first started playing ME 3 I had a feeling that the Mass Relays would be the price we had to pay for finishing off the Reapers thought I was expecting some kind of anti Reaper pulse that overloaded or damaged the relays.

I've spent a few hours thinking about it, not actively, just idle thought and though I don't like the fact that Shepard gives his life to save the galaxy, it was a necessary step to end his story.

To look at the entire Mass Effect Universe, we broke a cycle that was created in order to maintain balance between synthetic and organic, Chaos and Order. I chose to change the rules of the game, no longer will synthetic life and organic life war with each other and wipe each other out, we're now one.

I'm not sure if this was the greater purpose for the reapers, the citadel and the relays. To reset the slate till an unknown came along and changed the rules of the game and evolve or ascend to a new form of life.

The main things left up in the air, can the population of this galaxy still use mass effect tech? Can they rebuild a new relay network and citadel? What happened to our companions? Did the Reapers simply blow up or leave our galaxy for another to do what they were designed to do, bring order to chaos? 

Right now I think everyone is looking for some closure. Bioware, you did an outstanding job with the greater story but your delivery of the ending has left us torn, confused and angry. We have so much attachment invested in the Mass Effect universe, some of us need answers.

I didn't mind that my shepard died, I had a feeling that they would have to sacrifice everything for it. but I completed it early yesterday morning and nothing else has been on my mind since. such a depressing ending, but I will say this. Never has a game made me feel in such a way with varying emotions. Anger, Sadness, Happiness & others throughout the game and I respect Bioware for that.

The ending needed to conclude something from the trilogy and make it so that it closes any unanswered questions but this one just makes me ask more. Who are the masters? Why would they make sythentics to destroy the galaxy before synthetics? to me it just doesnt make much sense.

Thats my two cents anyway. I haven't played it since and I don't think I could knowing the outcome is that dark and depressing.

[Sentr0]

what hurts more is that they made this SADIC ending just for money purposes, i mean look at this:

Fanbase ending and is way better than the original...

[meiwow2]

I felt so bad when I first finished this game like a strong feeling of depression and despair, and then I felt disapointed. Everything I've been through and did in the series for this??
I though I was going to maybe be with tali back in her homeworld...
But no... whatever you did through the whole series might as well go down the drain because the game boils down to the crap ending that it has at the moment....
I hope they make dlc endings...
I'm so disapointed and sad, honestly...
Why did they have to give us this garbage bitter ending? why?
Is it a joke? is the ending suppose to be a hallusination/indoctrination?...sigh...

meh the "pain" is wearing off. I just did my 2nd run through. Picked the right choices to save what crew i could. Got the resources over 6k and did a lot of MP to get the percentage up. Still, hate to see good characters killed off, but i managed to save one from death. this time my shep survived. I mean come on, the whole point is to rid the galaxy of the reapers and go have blue children. lots of em.

[jfruelas521]

I agree with everyone here. I had 5 different sheps ready to go in anticipation of this game. 5! I had planned to lose 100+ hours to this game. After the first playthrough, I have no desire to go back and play through the game again. I feel hollow inside. When I first saw that ending, it was like 12:40 in the morning and I spent like 5 minutes just staring at the main menu when it was all over wondering what had happened and whether that was like one of the bad endings and that there might have possibly been better endings that I had missed out on (even though I had finished every side quest in the game and gotten virtually all war assets). So I went online and to my horror, I found all the endings are the exact same thing and nothing I did in the game mattered. Cure the genophage or let the krogan die? Doesn't matter. Kill the geth of save them? Doesn't matter. What is the point of doing anything in this game when none of your decisions matter? The ending to this game alienated me in such a way that it taints the entire series. I still have a hard time comprehending how it did this in only a span of 15 minutes. It is unreal. This is the first game in a very, very, very long time where I don't go through a second time, which is rare for me. I generally never call for a person's job, especially in this economy but people at Bioware need to be fired for this. I don't say that lightly.

[katamuro]

My mind while I was asleep made me better. At first I was just a soldier fighting along our brothers in arms. Then the dream changed with me as Shepard, Tali at my side and a little quarian child in my arms. Family. Why does even my strange and asleep mind makes a better ending than Bioware?
I will play until the last mission and will not play the last mission as its hopeless. My Shepard, Our Shepards would have never let it boil down to 3 endings that have no hope after...

[-Skorpious-]

I can't see myself playing any Mass Effect game again - what would be the point?

Hell, I may never even play a Bioware game again.

I just watched a video that might explain all this endings business but it would also mean that Bioware has decided instead of presenting us with a whole game, milk us for money with DLC that are not optional but necessary for the game to actually end.

[Fat Headed Wolf]

I can't get myself to play anything. Last time I felt this bad in a game was in GTA IV when I accidentally got Niko's girl killed. Difference is I felt bad in GTA IV because it was well written. It was a good sadness. ME3 made no sense.

Even then, I didn't show it externally. According to my wife I've been down since beating the game Saturday night. Says it's weird for here. No matter what, no matter how I feel, I don't let her know.

I'm in a similar position, except I had more then just my main canon femshep, and I don't even feel like playing through my prepared other imports now.

Same, Days have passed and I still feel like crap when I think about ME - such awesome series, ruined by 10 minutes, ruined forever.... I kn ow there is one ending in general that is crap, no point ever playing ME or ME2 or ME3 - everything I did was pointless.

[spychi]

When I said that I will not be surprised that people would commit sucide over those endings I was right seeing how everyone is just soo depressed over it and how few "jumped from the cliff" after the Avatar movie.

Yeah it is just a game, fiction but I still have a strong connection with characters and honestly **** earth never cared about in the game...if in order to save everyone have a butterfly ending I would have to sacrifice earth...I would do that without a second of doubt

[SSV Enterprise]

Yeah, I have to say, I won't be replaying ME3 anytime soon. Or ME1. Or ME2. What's the point if all the choices are worthless and we still get the "bittersweet" ending of the relays destroyed, Shepard gone, and the Normandy stranded?

Exactly. When ME2 was coming out I would play through ME1 again to make sure I was ready, while in prep for ME3, I was foolish and didn't back up my saves and lost my data when my hard drive fried.

Once I had my new one, I played through ME1 and 2 several times to prepare my shepards and now look where it has ended up.
