Nope, I'm not going to **** about the endings. I could and I have and will again in other venues, but that's not what I want to do here.

What I want is to find out if I'm the only one getting really down as a result of finishing ME3.

I had experienced a slight depression after ME2, but it was the easy to shake off "oh, real life is so dull" depression that I get when I finish an awesome story.

This time it's different. I've spent so many hours shaping and getting to know my Shepard... I've spent so much time getting along (or not) with the other characters, exploring and trying to unite that damn universe...
I'm mourning. Literally.

I can't even get the sad music out of my head... And I truly feel like crying.

Does anyone here relate to what I'm experiencing? I'd love to know. ^^

Also, if you think I'm being a weak and pathetic whiner, fine. Your are entitled to your opinion. You can also keep your own mean opinions to yourself, I assure you. I'm looking for like-minded people (if they exist), not judgemental pricks.

Not at all, that was my reaction, and I spent most of this past Sunday(I beat it Saturday night) not doing much but laying in bed, being sad about how my favorite game franchise screwed up the ending. It's gotten better, mostly because I'm an eternal optimist and really think they will put out DLC to fix it. It's just really sad because the rest of the game, and series was so great.

Well I was invested in the characters, plentiful emotions were brewing through my campaign, then the end killed the feeling.

But since this isn't supposed to be about that touchy subject, yeah they crafted a hell of a world.

It's the lack of closure. Had things ended in a not-completely hamfisted way, you'd not feel like you'd been so suddenly cut off.

No, most of us are super depressed, I take meds for depression anyway, but the ending so was awful that even my meds can't stop the overwhelming depression i feel after seeing the game end like that.

The ending music is very sad... and also stuck in my head... :blush:

Also I will admit.. I have never felt this low after a game flop. I have had games I look forward too before that ended up a mess, unplayible, or just bad.

But I have never had a game messing up effect me like this. It kind of bugs me. I guess I was to invested in my characters, believed to much in bioware's ability to tell a good story, and I guess part of it was how fast the game took a down turn. I mean the up until the last 10 minutes the game was amazing, and then it just dropped. Not a slow decline, but a drop.

Maybe that is why it bugs me still. It could be shock of how bad they dropped the ball.

I'm depressed too, you're not alone.
I find it hard to play anything else so I've just been kind of listening to music the past few days.

No you're NEVER the ONLY ONE.

Gosh... why people keep thinking they're the only ones is beyond me. >.>

Makes them look rather thick...

You're not weak at all, so many people here have been down for days. I can only imagine what people at work were thinking, me walking around all depressed. I think anyone who really cares about these games begins to see the characters less as characters and more as old friends. We all just lost about a dozen old friends with nothing to show for it, I think it's understandable that we're a bit down.

Refuse and reject the hamfisted, blunt-cut, choice-disregarding and downright depressing ending and substitute with this one instead.

Yeah I am depressed.  Kind of wish i hadn't wasted my time with this series now.  What was the point of all the fighting your character did given the endings?

These endings have left me more depressed then any movie or Tv show ever has.  I think George Orwell had a brighter out look on life then the depressing goths that must be working at bioware who gave use these endings.

Am I the only one that hangs off of trees by tying my testicles to a branch then letting hot yogurt drop all over my extremely hairy body?

I just finished the game this evening and I actually did cry at the end. It hurt to know that even though I had the "best possible ending" available to me it wasn't what I had hoped for.

You're definitely not the only one. I've spent most of the last two days in tears, and I've now reached the point where I don't have any more energy to be upset, so I just feel empty, and very, very annoyed.

Point of order:

Does the entire ending suddenly making you feel empty count as depression?
