Ever since seeing the ending a couple of days ago I've been in a depression I can't shake.
The characters and world I loved for 5 years destroyed in the final 10 minutes of a great game and all that.
Am I weird for still feeling sad? For the tears to still well up when I see my Mass Effect boxes?
How are people feeling generally?

Best thing to hope for is a new ending. The original ending (pre leaked script) was supposed to be due to dark energy anyway - whihc is referenced a total of 7 or 8 times through all 3 games.
If were lucky well get th eoption to have this ending as it is much less of a mess..
EDIT: right now I don't think I can do another playthrough, play the first 2 games, or support another bioware product until its changed,

I'm passed angry and am in the anxious, depressed period of waiting for an official response. On the bright side, I can replay up to the lightbeam, if I force myself.

Please go through the real discussions about why the ending is illogical. Then join the club.

beat it 2 days ago, still pretty sad. I'd really like to play ME3 again and multiplayer to assure my Shepard lives, but I just can't take it. the ending ruins everything for me

At first I was pretty angry but as I type this I have an ending in my own head. I've dismissed the endings in the game.

I've been in a general malaise since the end. I'm not naturally depressive and very little gets under my skin, but this definitely has.
I think its mostly because I had so many plans to enjoy the ME series with so many variant play throughs but theres just no point to them any more.
I never once heard Jennifer Hale's full VO work for any of the ME games cause I never played a femShep, was going to save that one for a full run post ME3.
I got a tech Shep, a full Biotic Shep, my Vanguard Shep and my Infilitrator Shep, all with various nuances on their Para/Ren leanings in ME and ME2, I can't be bothered to import any of them to ME3 cause of the way it ends.

Ya, I'm depressed. Pissed because everything up until that is pretty darn good. Love the final convos you have with your troops. A lot of their hopefulness is genuinely touching and haunting in the wake of the desperation ... I loved that stuff.
Even the end (before Future Child) ... it's moving, exciting and gripping. Jennifer Hale's performance takes that stuff to a whole different level that tore my heart out ... and then you get to that ending and ****ing spits in your face and kicks you while you're down.
Thankless.
That's how I've felt ever since.

Feel like Arcania: A Gothic Tale player- all is set in known universe, everywhere are characters I know and everything looks familiar but I've deep and horrifying feeling that EVERYTHING is not as should be.

i've been extremely apathetic, but not full blown depressed. slowly shaking out of it. fortunately the emotional high of the game itself (helped by finishing it in three humongous sittings) kept me more or less sane during the endings.

I've got 5 different Shepards, and I have spent so much time perfecting them all... I feel so drained. Emotionally drained from the game (which is good) but also drained from the super disappointing and frustrating ending (which is bad)
Once I learned about the massive shakeup to the writing team halfway through ME2, it helps to deal with what has happened. At least I understand WHY the ending was so terrible.

The entire game was an emotional rollercoaster.
"I'm Garrus Vakarian, and this is now my favorite spot on the Citadel!"
"If this doesn't work, if we fail now..."
"You worry too much."
"I love you."
"May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead."
"You did good, son. I'm proud of you..."
"Thank you, sir."
"... Anderson?"
He crawls to the console, passes out. Then for some reason this gorgeous, beautiful ending with Shepard's heroic fight right to the end wasn't enough. They couldn't make the Crucible fire right there and just destroy the Reapers.
Everything up until the goddamn Catalyst-child is -AMAZING-. I should just replay through ME3 and alt-F4 when the platform Shepard is lying on starts rising up.
Yes, I'm feeling very melancholy. I loved this series and its characters, and right now Bioware isn't providing anything that says any of them lived beyond the current nonsensical spacemagic ending.

Also, if Ubisoft ****s up Assassins Creed 3, I might just slip into a dark, destructive depression.
I won't be able to cope with my two favourite IPs being destroyed by shoddy writing.

I had a lot of fun even through the ending. The acting/music/atmosphere was so good that I was drowning out the AI kid and standing there wondering what I was gonna choose. Took me 10 mins watching Reapers and stuff blow up next to Earth to choose one.
Then I thought about how Bioware didn't really give me any new information about the Reapers, so I picked destroying them because that was the objective from the time you learn about the threat in ME1.
At times I felt disconnected because I was used to Reapers talking to me and trying to bring Shepard's morale down. We got like..one conversation with one.

I was super sad about it in the beginning. Frustrated, and a little sick to my stomach. I'm past that now, though. I'm really excited about how much attention this is getting, and I'm hoping that if we keep up the chatter, Bioware will want to work with us. That's where I'm at now.

I feel like I got punched in the stomach, followed by my face, when I saw the ending.
Now I just sit depressed, try to forget the ending, or hope we'll get it changed.

I feel a bit robbed, seeing how hollow my choices really are. One thing though, i wouldn't say im mad at Bioware as some people are. I really doubt they would do this just to ****** us off. I really believe that they thought this was the right way to go...i say they were sadly mistaken, but still, no reason to be angry at them.
