I was dumbfounded.

And then when the Normandy got knocked out of FTL and my crew appeared on some strange planet despite being with me on earth, I suddenly got really, really upset.

I pretty much stopped caring. I thought to myself "Wow, i dont even really care what happens here.  This is stupid.".

Then I ran into the green beam because of how unbelievably ridiculous it sounded. I actually laughed when god child was explaining it.


This right here was pretty much my exact reaction.

I stood there for a few minutes (never got the game over though, so not sure how long). I was dumbfounded.

"Wait, so the reapers are galactic janitors!?"

Then I just kind of lumbered forward, headed for the synthesis beam ... not because it felt right, but because I was so confused and dazed that I just didn't care. I hated all of the options so what the hell did it matter?

When I woke up the next day, I still felt like ****. So I booted up the game again and did the "destory" option as I realized that felt like the, er, "best", option for my Shepard. And that still sucked.

And Garrus was in BOTH Normandy crashes, which pissed me off since he was right behind me during the charge. Three days later I'm still confused about that.

I walked forward, trusting Bioware to have some hidden agenda.
5 minutes of agony later.. Got on the forums to pray i missed something.


Me too....me too.

*star child appears*
*well, that's weird, why won't he stop talking?*
*holy crap this kid is annoying, and now he's saying that everything else I did in the game doesn't count and I have to kill myself to accomplish things I never set out to accomplish?*
*Okay, well, I assume Bioware has some kind of reason for doing this, the game has been amazing so far, how could they screw it up now?*
*Right so, I came to kill the Reapers, and frankly I think this kid is dumb, so I'm still gonna kill the Reapers*
*?????????*
*Da fuq?!*
*CREDITS?! WHERE THE HELL IS MIRANDA, GARRUS, TALI, and LIARA???*

First thing I did was shoot at him. Then after a half minute deliberating I went to destroy everything. My Ultimate Paragon became the ultimate renegade there I guess.

I initially started shooting at him for some reason while repeatedly saying "Son I'm Disappoint..."

My reaction was that I was really hungry since I had played for so many hours without proper sustenance, and I was wondering why Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale voices was synced to the kid they got to read the lines for the Catalyst. I guess I was just desperately looking for meaning at this point and wondering if I should order that pizza.

Oh, God, how I hate that.  It gives you such a false sense of hope! 

And it's far from the only instance.

My jaw dropped and my controller fell to the floor :| And I sat there staring at the screen for like 15 minutes trying to comprehend what I had just seen.

If you haven't done any missions or gone to the citadel after the game kicks you back before the cerberus base, you can just restart the Citadel: The Return mission from your load game section.

Was wondering why I couldn't interrupt his tripe, even if it was a futile Renegade interrupt of putting a bullet through his head that would sail through. Finally walked into the green beam cause I wasn't to sure wtf was going on.

Credits rolled, made it through the credits, waiting for the gotcha moment, when Stargazed came up I got this sensation like someone had stuck a knife in my guts. Anger, confusion, denial.

4 days latter I still get this hollow sensation if I think about it.

Shot him in the face, like half of the other people in here.

It didn't do a damn thing, and it was still a thousand times more satisfying than anything that followed after.

No I mean you couldn't save in the Citadel.

If you want to go through the other endings....(BWAHAHAHAHHA....other endings..thats a joke)...you have to go through all the dialogue with TIM and Casper the local stupid ghost.

Fortunately I got around this by Alt+Tabbing and copying the autosave it makes if you sit around too long and die.

I can now watch those endings as many times as I want after one short slow crawl to one of them.

The child has been a thorn in my side since the demo. I knew there was something strange about the kid from the moment you first see him. I thought actually Shepard was hallucinating him the whole time and seeing himself as a kid. It'd explain the whole,

Shepard: "Come on, I'm getting you out of there."
Kid: "You can't help me."

In the vent. Keep in mind, the kid is not the Catalyst. I think it simply took the first image that came to mind so that Shepard could see it. IE, Shepard saw what his conscience wanted him to see.

I simply started thinking about which choice to make. To me, the ending wasn't bad until after I made the choice.

When he started talking about Synthetics always rising up to kill organics and he controls the Reapers as Synthetics that destroy and harvest organics so the Synthetics can' kill organics..

The Logic is so broke that my Shepard just said **** it and jumped in the Green light... and got something. but I really could not bring my self to care any more.

Even Krelian logic at the end of Xenogears was better that... he actually saved the world and accomplished his goal.

This kid ...is a aeons old moron.

It really did.

I would love to see a statistic on this of how many people thought shooting him was a better option than any of the options presented.

I really would say by the commentary I've seen - the kid did not have the affect I think they wanted him to have.

My first time through I had basically marathoned the game and I knew I was in the end-game at this scene. My brain wasn't entirely on, addled as it was with fatigue, so I chose the green ending on the knee-jerk reaction that blowing stuff up was bad and so is getting electrocuted so maybe this is the right one? Really, it was that and wanting to just end the game so I can get the (for me, anyway) long-awaited epilogue that explained how all my decisions throughout the entire game series panned out and affected the galaxy.

The second time I went through, after experiencing much of the symptoms other posters in this thread have mentioned upon seeing their endings, I shot the ever-loving heck out of the kid hologram and picked the destroy option out of some kind of desire to just watch the whole thing burn. This time, I was tired of trying to do the right thing, of playing by the rules, because I knew it didn't matter. I had been freed of all obligation and responsibility, the burden of answering for what I did and what my legacy would mean after and so I did what came naturally - I blew something up.

Felt like crying, pulled myself together... then destoyed the red unit thing.  Watched the ending....and felt utterly drained and empty...still do...24 hours later...

The emptiness is slowly being replaced by rage...I hear it's one hell of an anesthetic...

I read about the endings, but I was sure that they couldn't be that bad. I worked my butt off to get as high of a readiness as is possible. I went through the extremely emotional dialogue with the squad mates, finished the game, and was freaking furious.

I shot at the kid.

Then I took the only logical choice, destroy the reapers.

Watched the ending animation and couldn't stop laughing.

"I can write better **** than this."

"I hope a bunch of Bioware writers and product managers lost their jobs over this."

The ending (I got the "perfect" one I guess, with over 6300 points war assets) just retroactively ruined the entire series for me.

And made me cancel my SWTOR account.

And if I ever buy another Bioware/EA game, well... may the eternal ghost of my beautiful femShep haunt me for the rest of my days.

Heh, it's funny how many people did the same thing I did.

First, I burned through about 50 rounds of infinite ammo shooting at the Starkid, for all the good it did.

Then I limped around the room for a while, randomly shooting things, hoping something interesting would happen (nothing did).

Then I tried to get out of the room and go...somewhere. Into the Citadel, back to Earth, anywhere. Someplace I could at least die fighting, instead of going out like a f*cking chump.

Then I just gave up and picked the control ending, which seemed like the least crappy choice...not that it really mattered.

I didn't even bother sitting through the credits, I just watched the Stargeezer ending on YouTube.

All in all, it was a pretty bad experience.

To be perfectly honest I couldn't believe nor understand. I didn't even want to try to believe or anything, I was just speechless and mostly just stared at the screen, moving my mouse and my Shepard around looking at the scenery outside as the ships and Reapers attacked each others. I was like... zombied'd out of my mind, couldn't think, reflect, nothing... dumbstruck, shocked, felt bad inside. I think it lasted something like five minutes like that, then I finally replaced my left hand on the keyboard keys and started moving my Shepard towards green and told myself "whatever happens...". Then the "ending" scenes that followed were like multiple stabs at once... thinking "this is how the mighty ME trilogy ends?".

I had a case of slight depression following the next two days with actual physical symptoms, slight headache minutes after the "ending". I had a strange feeling of a "ball of compressed emotions" in my thorax and my throat, couldn't find a way to process the emotions nor the "meaning", no epilogue, no closure, didn't know what happened "next", nothing. I remember suddenly bursting in tears after reading some time here on the forums and couldn't understand why BioWare decided to "do that" to ME3.

I will remember this moment in my life for years to come, it won't just go in a poof, it's carved in my mind.


Pritty much this....

End of ME1: Immediately started a new game

End of ME2: Immediately started a new game

End of ME3: Immediately went to google to find out where I ****ed up. Found out I hadn't ****ed up but Bioware had. Grabbed a beer, replayed the ending trying to convince myself it wasn't so bad...

It didn't work and now I'm here. Commiserating with all of you.
