I could live with the ending and knowing that NG+ ending as well knowing that my Femshep is well and alive. But what I was annoyed about was the lack of closure with LI in this case Liara which all the way to the last speech "This is it isn't it" was fantastic.

But then it ends; Shep strandard bleeding on the citidal, Joker and Liara thousands of light years away (I never quite understood why Joker took the Normandy away from earth) and nothing. No short written description about what happened like DA:O

Oh well. I know what happens in my mind and that Femshep will find a way to see Liara again. Just a shame it wasn't in the game.

I think most people agree that the game was absolutely amazing for the most part, people just hated the endings.

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.

Agreed.

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

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

The closest feeling I can equate the ending of ME3 for me is premature ejaculation. The expectation of an awesome climax and satisfaction being ripped away, and then the disappointment, sorrow and anger.

[kevchy]

Disappointed. And sad.

But now, I'm just apathetic

[CrazyRah]

I'm somewhere between depressed and furious about the endings. They're utter crap..

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.

I cried a lot too.  The biggest things that affected me are your last conversations with Liara, Garrus, and Tali.  Liara with her gift, Garrus who I feel like is one of my best friends, and Tali, who was my love interest in both ME 2 and ME 3.  The three characters that people are more likely to be most attached to since they had major significance in all three games.

Despite the ending, Bioware writers are fantastic storytellers that really make you care about their characters and world.  That is ultimately why there is so much rage about the endings, because people care enough to be pissed.  Any other game, no one would care as much.

A day ago, I thought that all the complaints about the ending were over the top. "It can't be that bad, ME 3 has been stellar so far!"

Then I finished it. ME 3 is still an amazing, excellent game -- except for that ending. 16/17 different endings? HAHAHA. Nope. Try three, and they're pretty much all the same anyway. Bad. No, worse than "bad" ... soul-crushing.

It didn't even make sense. Shepard wouldn't just accept that kid's offered choices.

Until the ending, Mass Effect was about my choices. At the very end, Bioware said, "No, little fan, Mass Effect is about *our* choices. Yours do not matter at the end."

No epilogue. No idea how all those races will get on while stranded around Earth. No closure. What's Tali (my LI) doing? How is she even still alive? What about Garrus? Big McLargeHuge? Liara? My friends, my squad, my allies, the different races ... but no, not important enough to even give us a text-based epilogue.

After five years of anticipation, this empty shell of an ending only hurts Mass Effect and its fans.

This pretty much, amazing game, and then came the ending which left me kinda depressed (even though I saw a glimpse that my shepard is alive).

[Path Of Sorrows]

Depressed, betrayed. It's like receiving news that my family and friends died in a car crash all at once. Worthless deaths.

People that we grew to love over five years just gone. None of the choices we made mattered -- not really (not for the ending, at least). Not once do we see any of our actions over the course of ME3 improving the war effort in the final battle.

I was riding an emotional high, because even the sad parts of the game (character loss, for example) was so BEAUTIFUL. And this ending just made me sick to my stomach. My gut just twists thinking of it.

Like your displayed name. It a back stab. No way I am going to play or buy any DLC from bioware anymore.

[MissOuJ]

I have had some time to deal with the shock and I still feel very sad and drained. I just can't stop thinking about the ending - mostly because I feel like I need to understand it. It's just that the experience as a whole was really amazing, and if it had ended with Shepard dying after opening the Citadel's arms + destroying the Reapers & a short epilogue after that (like the Sacrifice ending in DAO), that would've been perfect. Now I just feel there are clues of some bigger puzzle here still but I can't piece them together, and it drives me up the wall, quite frankly. Also, that one tweet by Mike Gamble is driving me absolutely crazy...

[LolaLei]

Honestly? I feel pretty crappy. Even though I knew the endings because I read the script/spoilers I still feel drained and kinda sad. I had hoped knowing the outcome ahead of time would soften the blow for me a little but it didn't, I still launched into gamer rage lol.

... I'm mean ****! I'm tearful over a ****ing game! But it just goes to show how well the characters and the whole Mass Effect universe was written to make me care so much about a bunch of pixels.

[MedhiaNox]

I'm going to be rude - but you asked, and I assume you asked honestly.

Yes, I think it's weird to feel genuinely sad or angry for an extended period after finishing Mass Effect 3 (or any video game).

I know I'm not a majority voice in these threads - and I strongly disliked the endings - but this is a First World problem that really shouldn't be eating up any more of your time than how upset you were when the bottle of ketchup slipped from your hands and shattered on the floor and you didn't have an extra bottle for your burger.

[Splinter Cell 108]

Not depressed, after all it's just a game, yes I did have emotional attachment to a lot of the characters but I'm angry about it. I'm angry that they considered these endings as good material, I'm angry because they said we would not have a MacGuffin or a Deus Ex Machina and from the start that is what we're given. I'm angry because this is the last game Shepard will appear in and they ruined it with the ending. It's unbelievable. How could they not predict that this would happen?

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.

I will not accept this ending, never... so I can somehow deal with that, but there is something about the music like you say. I play the ME2 end run soundtrack during my workouts, because is such a kicka*z song, which gives a big positive energy boost. Having seen the junk canonical ending, the song is now tainted with bad memories... positive energy boost almost completely gone... thank you for nothing creator of these endings, may you be eternally probed by Cerberus scientists

I can rationalize the ending into something I want with my powers of imagination.

What makes me sad though, is knowing how my friends and family who play this game will feel. Even as I write this my brother is closing in on the ending, and I feel the inevitable discussion coming:

Brother: Hey! I just beat the game, and I thought I had all the stuff you said. How do I get the good ending?
Me: ... :[ come have a seat.

[Skypezee]

I knew and expected that the end would be sad, or that the best possible ending would still be very bitter sweet. Yet the ending would be satisfying because all loose ends would be tied up and I get to see not only the results of my actions from ME3 but in ME1 and 2 as well. How has my diplomacy paid off by getting the geth and quarians to make peace? What about the Krogan and the genophage? How the rest of the Citadel species feel about the Krogans?

Buuuut none of that happened. Even the so called good ending wasn't bitter sweet. Nor did my choices matter or even get reflected upon as an epilogue. Hell, if there was a choice? BioWare should have allowed for us to tell the damned reaper god-child AI to F*** off and let my efforts in collecting war assets and diplomacy do its job; because ever since ME1 and 2 Shepard was about doing the impossible IE save the Citadel and survive the suicide mission with EVERYONE ALIVE. I had to work for it in ME2 in order to get the best possible ending for everyone to survive, but dammit I proved that it can be done :|

So yeah, I went from horribly depressed, to sad, to annoyed, and now to even more annoyed bordered on angry because the endings don't make sense, they don't fit, and feel like an after thought when you consider how great the game was before the ending. It's almost like with Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Everything about it was great except for the bosses and the boss fights. Why? Because another company had taken over to do those segments. They didn't fit in and they left me confused as to who the hell those people were and what their purpose was.

I was really bummed out but now I've hit the acceptance stage and don't really feel anything. I am interested to see how this all plays out.

[yoshibb]

The only reason I'm not depressed right now is cause I believe we can get Bioware to fix it. If I was forced to accept these endings with no hope, I'm sure I'd be done with Bioware and never able to play Mass Effect again.

[AlexXIV]

I am upset. I didn't think a game could upset me that much. Rather the ending of a game only, because the game as such is pretty good (can't stress that enough because ME3 deserves better, and a better ending). Usually would just walk away and try to not think about the waste of time. However, after such a long time and so much emotional investment it is hard to let go. And I really don't feel like letting it happen again anytime soon. I guess I will look at Bioware's next franchise only after it is finished. And when fans are happy I buy it, if not, I saved alot of time and ... nerves.

[coles4971]

Feeling like sh*t really. Just b*tched about the ending to my friends all day today.

[Inxentas]

I feel down too.

ME3 was an emotional rollercoaster, I actually think it's the best of the 3 games where gameplay and VA's are concerned. I can live without personal closure (I sensed ME3 in and of itself offered enough closure about the crew), but the backward space logic this Starchild told me... it just hit me this morning how bad it is.

The ME universe is so bleak it could just as well never have existed at all. In fact, I even think this tech singularity issue is a more natural solution to the problem in and of itself. That which is stronger survives, and if that which survived is synthetic, so be it. This is the natural order that the races of the galaxy know, and adhere to. Each and every one of them! Even the organic ones would rather have ground wars against the Geth then a Reaper invasion.

I don't see what's wrong with chaos, since Reaper order imposes a higher amount of suffering and death. Reaper-God-Child is a sick existential joke. I'd have chosen the heat-death of the universe if it had been an option. I'm THAT depressed! :-) That was a joke.

This, so much!

[The Grey Ranger]

The ending was a real let down. There were some great moments in the game, but the ending was bad, really bad.

So after I finished I dusted off the old imagination. My Shep is happily sitting on a beach, one arm around Ash, a nice cold beer in one hand, and plenty more in the cooler.
