It's a complete new experience for me to really feel depressed after playing a game...

[Godwhacker]

Utterly despondent. I can't decide if they're going to screw us further by releasing a $30 DLC that adds an actual ending to the game, or screw us further by sending out a press release saying that they aren't sorry for making such a monumental ****-up of the whole thing.

It's going to be one or the other.

Hrrm the American Fleet image appears to be blocked. How totally not subtle.

I can see your signature picture just fine. Unless you're talking about something else.

I'm mad at myself for getting so wrapped up into Mass Effect. I should have stopped playing after the first to remain disconnected from the plot. I shouldn't be so passionate and enthralled by Mass Effect because they're video games and clearly video games aren't something to get wrapped up in because the stories don't matter.

Then again, stories found in books and films don't matter either. I guess it's better to remain detached from works of fiction.

The ending (because saying "the endings" for something that has the same outcome regardless our choice is too much) feels completely out of place.

It killed the series and my mood to play ME3 again...I feel sad, anger and betrayed.

[Zulakkar]

I have not played a game since ME3 ended for me, been reading abit of FF here and there but I just cant seem to find a need to game now, it just feels weird to become atached to a ruddy game, I played WoW for 5 years going 6 and I stopped playing that from one day to other nothing felt, now this ? I feel like a ruddy Husk just ambling about with no purpose.

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.

I pretty much feel the same way. I've made up the ending for my current (2nd) playthrough so it's not all that bad... though I am not very motivated to play right now.

As Karathossen said.

The part that really emotionally ripped at me was Thane dying in the hospital with Kolyat and Thanes final message to Shepard. I was lost in tears for a good hour and had to set the controller down.

The final talk with Garrus and the paragon option, telling him that "If I should be the one to go and you don't arrive at the bar, know that I'll be right here watching over you".

And to end it like that? I mean... No, NO you just don't do that. It's been 5 days since I finished the game and I'm still miserable and feeling a little empty. I'm heavily disappointed.

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?

It's been 72 hours since seeing the ending and I'm still depressed.  I can't even enjoy the soundtrack.  I  started a new game + but could no longer continue after Priority:Mars, especially now knowing that Shepard will never be reunited with Liara and crew.

Another poster on this board said- and I'm sorry I don't remember who it was or which thread- but to paraphrase, they said that the human brain can't really differentiate between real people and "fake" people that we've developed emotional responses to.
That's what it feels like to me.
So yeah, we're all in mourning. For our squadmates and ourselves, for the heroes we thought we could be- for the whole damn galaxy since it's pretty much toast.
We relied upon MassEffect to allow "us" through our Shepards- to be heroes, to save people, to believe that we could actually come out of the impossible situations on top- like in ME1 and ME2. And that was betrayed- so there's some of that mixed in.
Really, it's alot to process. It's been a few days since I ended the game - saying you beat the game just rings false- and I'm still here...

i feel like eating my favorit bowl of cereal while somebody kicks me in the nuts.

[Sywen]

Depressed, angry, lost

Last week at this time I was so excited I could barely contain it. In less then a week going from that to this...its shocking.

[AlexKavern]

"Anderson: How bad is it?
Hackett: Bad."

[Vaktathi]

Still feeling weird. Don't really feel like playing video games for now. A week ago at this point I was ready to, almost literally, **** my pants in anticipation for ME3. Now I can't stand the idea of playing anything again with the endings we've got.


It's a wonderful testament to the world Bioware created that people are this upset over the awful ending they put in.

What you said.

It's also called escapism.  If I wanted to be depressed I look at the real world.

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.

God, yes, that would have been far better.

A game improved by cutting content. Weird.

[mupp3tz]

Feels like there's something heavy gripping my heart that I can't shake. I knew going into ME3 that it would be sad to some extent, because, well, it's the last we'll see of Shepard... but, what I didn't know is it would make everything prior so pointless. A big part of me is angry that Bioware decided NOW would be a good time to go hard on grim realism, robbing me of the opportunity to at least talk about what a great end the series finished on. I'm not talking about a butterflies and unicorns ending, but at least something that makes me feel like Shepard WAS a hero. Right now, I'm feeling like he's fought in vain.

I'm feeling like this too. I haven't touched any games in 5 days because of how much this has bugged me. I just can't bring myself to.

[Jerjud45]

Depressed and disappointed. Never been so emotionally affected by a game before. I told myself going into it that Bioware are great storytellers and I would accept any outcome for the sake of the story. But I never expected anything like this.

Its like watching the movie Grave of the Fireflies, outstanding movie, but so depressing that I would never want to watch it or have anything to do with it again. This is how I feel about the Mass Effect franchise now. Bioware killed it.

[Aanlen]

You're not alone there, or any weird. I used several days just to stop crying. I still feel sad whenever I think about Mass Effect... It's almost as if a person who was dear to me died. I really hate that Bioware did that to us. It's not justifiable.

[LoneSpektre]

Just tryin to keep my mind off the ending. Created my own theory to block out the bitterness.

This, I'm in a weird depressing funk just hoping that any moment there will be some form of reassurance.

speaking of which, where is harbinger?

[idunhavaname]

I still feel like someone spat on my mouth and kicked me in the crotch

[Ulicus]

I feel fairly... despondent. I thought the game started pretty poorly (in retrospect, discovering the blueprints of the crucible should really have been ME2's focus) but, by the time I got to the end, it had completely turned my opinion around. I thought it had realised the best of both ME1 and ME2.

And then it ended with Casper the Friendly Catalyst, pixie-dust, a fairly nonsensical "synthesis" thing and the Normandy crashing... somewhere.

So... yeah. Despondent.

I mean, I was starting to get a little concerned about the ending when the Citadel was kidnapped (why aren't the Reapers deactivating the Sol Relay, guys? They've got control of it, now!) but nothing could have prepared me for the utterly bizarre turn things took.
