I feel like the kid on the beginning, I've been through the invasion, escaped from the husks, the reapers and the destruction. I've finally found safety with the alliances soldiers and I'm taking an evac shuttle to the Citadel or somewhere safe. I did great, and I feel somewhat heroic. It was a long journey, and it's finally reaching his conclusion.

And then a shot from a reaper blow my shuttle into dust. Quickly, with no respect of what I've done. In the end, all that matter is the last 10s of my existence, no matter what I was and did before.

ME games are all great, the journey is awesome, but the last 10m is absolutely bad. I don't say it's not the ending I would have wanted, but it's a badly done ending. Truth is, far worse than KOTOR 2 ending.
I will nto discuss it, a LOT of people already said plenty of things about it, some true, some quite wrong IMO.


I REALLY do hope people saying this a fight against indoctrination in the end are right, and BW will add a sequel with a proper ending.

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?

No, you are not weird! I feel exactly the same way  I've actually had to hide all my Mass Effect stuff, and I feel too ashamed of the ending that I can't even bring myself to wear my N7 hoodie anymore (and before I practically lived in the thing.) Everytime I see anything ME related, I just feel even worse, depressed, disappointed and almost on the verge of tears. I can't bring myself to play any of the games again, or listen to any of the music anymore either.

We all grew to love this universe and its characters. We were attached to many of them. But that's what good story writing is supposed to do. It's a part of you and when someone kills/destroys it, it makes sense to me to feel like this! Especially after being so excited and hyped for this game. <_<

I'm feeling depressed as well, mostly because I lack some critical information:

1) which characters survived at the end?

2) Can galactic civilization be rebuild?

3) Will the Normandy's crew be alright on that planet (whatever the hell it is..)?

4) What happens to the Alliance forces and their allies in the Sol system?

5) Why do mass relays get destroyed in every single ending?!


For a game that's supposed to bring closure, ME3 left way too many unanswered questions, and that doesn't sit well with me.

Again, if you are depressed for days because of a video game, you should get help. Professional help. That's not a normal reaction, maybe something that can easily be treated.
I'm being serious here.

Its the strangest thing - but yeah. I've never gotten to the ending of anything that left me miserable.

I've hated endings, I've loved endings, I've been annoyed by questions left unanswered, been crushed by mid season ends for series.

But as pathetic as I feel I sound - its the truth - utterly miserable.

[LegendaryBlade]

Not depressed, but I find I check these forums way too much. Last time I got addicted to these forums was when DA2 spat in my face. I really should start coming to these forums for more positive reasons.

I'm mad about the ending, I want a new ending, but I don't think it hit me as hard as it did most of you. Dragonage 2 sort of hardened me up, because I absolutely loved Origins as one of my favorite RPGs of all time. At least the only problem with ME3 is it's ending. A great game with a **** ending is less soul crushing than it could of been. I love the other 99% of the game.

[nitefyre410]

Me, I'm not depressed at all... when I get really annoyed about the endings I fire up some Street Fighter X Tekken and smash some faces; Come back and talk about how bad they are some more.

This is the first time I have been this vocal about a ending but hell I am vested in the series and Nathaniel Shepard deserves so much better than what he got. More importantly.. I want to play this game again finish my Fem Shepard story...

Other than that life is pretty grand right now and no this will not change my mind about the endings...

but thanks for asking OP..

Not really - looks at what Star Wars did for people, the Beatles, Twilight, Grand Finals for sport..the list goes on.

We live life for our recreation - if you've never loved a sports team that made you upset for days because they lost the grand final, or seen a movie / story that kills you inside for a while - then I feel for you.

[gimzod76]

depressed sad and hoping for a better ending.

[RDSFirebane]

Still in shock to be honest. I don't plan on buying DLC until this whole ending thing is addressed and if it isn't well guess they Missed out on my money.

Edit: for the record though I did love everything about the game before the magic elevator ride to the advanced AI child.

I was depressed for awhile after the ending, not because I didn't like it but because it was the end of the story. It has been said before but finishing Shepard's story feels like losing a friend, I feel I've gone through the five stages of grief and judging by the reactions on the forums.. others are going through it too, whether they realise it or not.

But now I'm feeling ok, started a NG+ with the new knowledge of how it all goes down and it's a different experience altogether. Still not ready to play through my other Shepards but judging by some of the possible choices and outcomes I've heard about, I'm sure there's still plenty of replay value to be had for all three games.

It feels good to be playing again though the last two or three days I swore I wasn't ready to go through the emotions again. Somehow this feels very theraupetic, getting back in the saddle with the difficulty bumped up to insanity. It's still a gorgeous game with great moments that make you feel all sorts of warm fuzzies if you know where to look.

Same - doing anothing playthrough as a new character. Looking forward to having a deeper pick into things and a bit of metagaming - then cranking some more MP before the end run of that game.

Whatever the ending, terrible, bad, good, wonderful - the 40 hours I sunk into it before had some amazing moments that deserve being seen again.

And then there's THAT guy.


The stupid humans totally screwed up the world. They're ripping us off with gas prices. Mechanics can rob you blind & get away with it. The government is run by a bunch of retarded monkey's. Your boss can treat you like dog crap & screw you over as much as he wants & there's nothing you can do about it. The economy is shot. People are losing their jobs & homes. The greedy bastards keep raising the prices on everything every day but your wages never go up. Bioware just charged us $60-$80 for ME3, it has a retarded ending but we can't return it & get our money back because we opened it. And every decision we made for the past 5 years added up to a big fat 0. But you can't get depressed over any of that. It's all YOUR fault!  YOU need to go get professional psychiatric help. All of a sudden YOU have something wrong with YOUR brain & need to see a shrink ASAP. Because there's nothing wrong with this world, there's no reason to be depressed, there's nothing wrong with the ME3 ending. The only problem is YOU! Everybody knows you're not supposed to enjoy the end of ME3, if you get depressed over wasting all those hours over the past 5 years & wasting all that money you need to go waste more money on a shrink. That'll help. He can deal you some mind altering drugs that will totally screw you up from the side effects like all doctors do. Because the only thing that matters is acceptence. The ending of ME3 could be a video of a squirrel taking a dump & you're supposed to accept it with a smile & be happy about it. Whatever they hand you, you're supposed to just accept it & never question it.  You're not supposed to think for yourself. You're not supposed to have an opinion.You're supposed to just accept whatever they hand you. You're supposed to be brainwashed & indoctrinated. A mindless slave. If you're not a mindless slave then you need to go see a psychiatrist because something is obviously wrong with you.

I'm depressed, but way better than a few days ago. I couldn't sleep with thoughts of the whole thing.

[ericjdev]

Just finished yesterday, still full blown traumatized. I feel angry and betrayed and hurt. I put all my ME 1-3 stuff in a box already, can't stand to look at it.

[eye basher]

it's just a game.

[MjK]

I did my second nightmare about ME universe... Seriously :/

[Karrie788]

I'm ok now, surprisingly. Holding the line these past few days has been very entertaining. You guys rock.

[LolaLei]

Still a bit ****ty, finally managed to get some sleep though.

[zarnk567]

Im even more mad now seeing how Bioware is treating us on twitter..... so glad I supported you guys since Baulder's gate (sarcasm)

[Tooneyman]

I think the major problem bioware did was basically take the control completely away from the character at the ending. Its like what was anything worth and why did we do it. Only for it to be destroyed. I've honestly felt useless but I've picked myself up and am moving forward. I feel like they spit in the face of everyone they made the game for. They talked about your control and your decisions, but in the end you had none of it really. It was all the same conclusion. Its pretty sad to think about. I honestly believe people got lazy and couldn't think of an ending or maybe their budget ran out. That could only be the only explanations, but my biggest fear is even after bioware tells us the whole story they won't redo it and they will tell us to deal with it. That is my biggest fear. If that happens I'm sorry to say I'll have to literally leave.

I really spent so much time on this game and I've been with it from the beginning, but it really took away apart of myself with the end to our shepards. It made you feel hopeless for it. Hell, if I could I would start a kickstarter campaign and raise money for bioware myself to help create alternative endings and I wouldn't do it for myself. I would do it to all the fans who sound like they where let down.

[Katsaurs]

Still pretty down about it all, I still can't believe those were the endings we got fed to end a trilogy. I end up feeling angry & even more depressed each time I talk about it with friends.
