I felt terrible right after I finished the game, right now I'm better but it still feels as if someone punched me really hard in the stomach. The worst part is that if they'd just fix the ending the game would be fantastic, one of the best games ever. The ending we got ruined not only ME3, but the whole trilogy. Honestly, I don't want to play anything at all in the forseeable future.
I just feel empty.
How are people feeling generally?

It brings me back to the day when I was 10 years old on the playground, when that horrible kid told me there was no santa claus and my mother finally confirmed it.... Horrible day, thank you bioware for letting me relive it.

we are all sad and yet hopeful, just wait a couple of days, until most people finish playing ME3, we won't know, I believe Bioware is waiting for a majority of players completing the game and respond then

Pleased and content...
It's up to Bioware in how they're going to respond to fan reactions to the ending.
They better have something good cooked up.

Almost made me puke. After finishing ME2 I immediately started new playthrough but after finishing ME3 I find it hard to play any Mass Effect game (and I have not started another run).

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?
Generally bad. I'm trying to focus on other things.

Slowly recovering thanks to the power of my own imagination.
At the moment my main Shepard is still physically recovering on Earth amongst a devastated London, communications are barely feasible, there's no potable water, the air is nauseous and thick with death and toxins from rotting corpses of Reaper troops, Turians, Humans, Krogans, Salarians and even Quarians. The sun's light is almost completely blocked by dark toxic clouds from burning cities and global fires. There's still danger from the sky, from low Earth orbit debris constantly falling from orbital decay, most of which burn before hitting the ground, some debris the size of third that of a Dreadnought's frontal hull crashing down on barely-standing ruins or country side plains, or already poisoned oceans...
I'm recovering, but I'm re-canonizing my own main ME3 ending.
Eventually I might think of a specific new Shepard that might be content with giving a finger to his own efforts and ending up synthesized by some magical means.

Crappy. All the investment (money, energy, time) feels like it was wasted. I was ready to burn through ME1 (whose great story was hard to go back to because of the awful gameplay) and ME2 to get the last 2 missing achievements. Now I just don't even want to see the box. It's painful really.

I'm just tired of it all honestly. There's only so many times I can repeat the reasons why I dislike the endings before I just get sick of doing it, especially since nothing I say seems to help convince some people that I'm not interested in a 'disney ending'.
Same thing for how I feel about the game itself. Though I'm just numb at this point for much the same reasons as above.

When I was a kid, I took Tae Kwon Do lessons. During a sparring session, I got jump kicked right in the nads. I don't feel quite as bad as that right now, but close.

When i got to the end of that great game, that kid told me i had to choose out of 3 options... After he was done talking i spent 15min trying to shoot the little ****.
Once i realized i couldnt kill him, i went for the only option that would save my Shepard (Destroying the Reapers), and yet i still feel very depressed...

I've known about the endings for a couple weeks, and I'm still very sad about it.
I keep asking myself why. Why they had to end it like this. It seems designed to make us confused and frustrated. I know that the writers aren't a bunch of sadists. They didn't do this to specifically hurt us. So the question remains. Why?

Trying so hard to comprehend what I saw at the end...Just uploaded another Shepard I have saved and it's really, really hard not to think about what's going to happen in the end! 
I was soo delusional before ME3 came out; I didn't believe the rumors at all and brought "From the Ashes" DLC (shameful I know
). Now that I got to the end...well I probably deserve to be smacked in the face I think. I just can't believe BW would do something like this. I feel like somebody just pulled the rug right below me and then proceeded to mock me for standing up for something that wasn't true! They lied to us, and we wanted something better. Makes me regret knowing that no matter how hard I try, no matter how good everything there is in ME3, I can never overcome the inevidable truth.
Usually I don't get this fussy over a game but I see there are others who are in the same boat as I am.
Right now...I need to be hugged so 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 problem is, that shakeup would only explain how bad the endings were if the rest of ME3 had been terrible, but the rest of ME3 was both epic and moving. That is part of what makes the endings so hard to take, the jarring disconnect with *everything* that came before. They literally came out of nowhere at the last minute.

I can't shake it off. I wanted to replay all 3 games, to see results of different choices. Now... I am unable to run Mass Effect 1. I just can't. I wonder how bioware feel about this. About our broken minds and hearts. *cough* Oh, right, they are still counting our money... *cough*
ME1 and ME2 are great. But replaying them along with ME3 is just too painful...
At least we can have hope...

You're clearly not alone, though I personally never became depressed from the game's ending. Confused and looking for explanation? Yeah, it was my same response to the last 2 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion - an ending also notorious for enraging fans. The whole hallucination thing is a possibility. When I first heard the idea, I sort of tossed it aside, but the OP had written it with quite a few good points. It's a surprisingly strong theory.Ever since seeing the ending a couple of days ago I've been in a depression I can't shake.
I generally feel OK about it.

Exactly. I also wonder what would make me buy any DLC that might be coming. Nothing matters, pointless. The ending was such a torture. I've been wondering if ever want to feel that feeling again. I don't see any reason in finishing other playthroughs just to make me feel awful again.Cartims wrote...

I'm depressed. Depression is a problem that is never far away from me and my lifestyle is crafted to keep it under control. I'm so angry with myself for not being able to keep it at bay just now, all because of a game.

I feel like my favorite video game became a bad joke. Specifically, this one:
Three explorers have a shipwreck and land on a tropical isle. They're exhausted, dragging, and as far as they know, the only three survivors. They hear drumbeats, and look at each other, wondering if they're about to be saved, or eaten by cannibals.
The drumbeats get closer, and sure enough - it's cannibals (they can tell, because the cannibals are carrying weapons, firewood, and a large, large stewpot on poles down to the beach where the survivors are).
The leader of the cannibals steps forward and says, "We are cannibals. But, for those of you who lived, we will give you a choice. You will have the opportunity to kill yourself, and if your death is honorable, we will bury you in the manner of your people. If it is not, we will skin you, eat you, tan your hide, and make it into a canoe."
The first survivor steps forward and says, "Then I will need a pistol." The cannibals give him a pistol with a single bullet, and the survivor yells "For the Queen," and shoots himself in the head. The cannibals nod to each other, considering that a sufficiently honorable death, and bury him.
The second survivor steps forwad and says, "Then I will need a sword." The cannibals give him a sword, and the survivor yells, "For the King," and falls on his sword. The cannibals nod to each other, considering that a sufficiently honorable death, and bury him.
The third survivor steps forward and says, "I'm going to need a fork."
"A fork?"
"Yes ... a fork."
The cannibals look confused, but they hand over the fork.
The last survivor takes a deep breath, yells "Screw your canoe" over and over and stabs himself repeatedly with the fork until he is dead.
The End.

You think they didn't see this coming? Please, with all the testers playing the game before launch they knew about the ****ty ending, about how you played the previous choices you made had no effects on the outcome of the story. They saw it as an opportunity to make more money through dlc. Mass Effect has a huge fanbase. Also remember that the man who wrote 1&2 was working on old republic instead of this. Where was the final boss? I have no problem with a tragic or bittersweet ending, but pulling in something from left field that makes no sense with the rest of the series? I, for one will not be spending another penny on new ea or bioware games as a result. I'll either rent or buy used.
