Same here, you're not alone.
People on the BSN have been really great though. Helped me through it.

That music haunts my brain a few times everyday.  Pretty crazy to think a game would have that kind of impact.

You're definitely not alone. I tear up every once in a while thinking about it. This doubled when I received a call from an unknown number and heard a horn noise that sounded similar to the reapers. But then some guy started talking about he's the captain of my ship and that I could win a cruise. I was oddly disappointed that it wasn't a phone call from a reaper. Then it started my cycle of anger/bargain/depressed.

It's hard to muster the desire to play it again, when I know what's waiting at the end. I already have a Shep that might never see Ashley again, I don't want to have another Shep that might not see Liara ever again. It's just too sad.

I really can't even look back at the previous Mass Effect games the same way as I used to, anymore.

It just sickens me that it I know how it ends.

I wasn't expecting perfection, I wasn't expecting a cheesy feel-good happy ending, I just wanted closure.

Instead I'm left with hundreds of questions.

Add me to the club. The replay value is currently in the toilet, but desperately want to fly off into further adventures with my AI buds. I miss them.

You're not alone. Not by a long shot. I feel like I've lost something. The way it ended didn't just ruin one game it soured so many of the good memories I have from the first two games. Pardon the dramatics but I feel like I lost a friend.

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.


If your talking about the ending. Yes I was sad at first, but if you dig really deep into it, its not the end. Its obvious its not the end by some meny subtle hints at the end of the game just after Harbinger hit. But other than that, no I was fine.

I know this is not about the ending, but for me that was part of it. It seems like I cried half way through the game. Which would have been fine if there could have been a somewhat happy pay off at the end. I was so depressed I lost all desire to play through my other Shepards. I went into my son's room, plopped down on his bed (he's playing too) all puffy and teary eyed and told him ME3 was the sadest most depressing game I have ever played.

I finished Saturday night and I'm still feeling depressed, although the painful part of the depression is starting to recede. On Sunday I spent most of the day on this forum looking for answers to what happened in the ending. I heard some hidden footage someone had discovered of Shepard and Anderson talking on the Citadel just before Anderson died. They talked about Shepard settling down and being a great Dad. That's when I lost it and broke down and cried. I miss Commander Shepard.

I'm was depressed.

Now, I'm angry.

And I'm angry enough that I'm going to do something about it.

I'm a game developer that was already working on my own indie game. This ending just made switch some things around and move up a project that had just been a risky dream, dipping into savings to get it started. I had originally intended it to replace the scifi hole that the death of Star Wars universe left. Now with two dead series in my life, I'm going to make the game that I want to play, and finish.

Apparently you didn't look at the rest of the forum before posting that question.

I would have had the same reaction regardless of the ending. Every time a series ends, I get really down. I guess the most recent was Chuck. I loved the final episode, but felt so flat after it was over. The same thing was always going to happen with Mass Effect, regardless of what the final scene was.

I have to admit, I felt a really strange.. "empty" like feeling. It is difficult to describe.

I feel exactly the same way! when i finished i went back and did control and synthesis endings to see if they were better but it broke my heart! i cried so much (i've never cried with a movie or video game so that is saying alot) and most of it was due to the control ending where he is holding the sticks and he is disentegrating and he has his memory of his love intrest (my case kaidan) knowing that he will never see him again just broke my heart! im only playing it again caus i want to see how the liara li turns out in the end! but yes i give u a hug for moral support since most of us need it!

I just feel betrayed.

I spent over 60 hours in my first ME1 playthrough, and over 60 in my first ME2 playthrough, and 15-30 hours on later playthroughs, crafting my own Shepard, and preparing for ME3, only to find out that no matter what I did in the first 2 games, the outcome is the same.

At least in ME2, you lose squadmates if you don't do certain things throughout the game, or make the wrong choices during the suicide mission.

It adds a little more replayablity.  But as of right now, ME3 has almost zero replayablility. The only thing different is the romances.

Hopefully some DLC will change that.

Yeah to say the ending bummed me out would be like saying getting hit by a bus may cause some bruising.

I have no desire to replay with my other saves, since there is no point. Won't matter what I do the end is the same.

If you think about it, how is the ending really any different from the Reapers winning? It's Slightly Less Worse?

I'll keep it short. Yes


Pretty much and I haven't finished it yet. Just up to the Cerberus base. Which is pretty much the begining of the end anyway.

I'm very sad the series has ended. I will miss the characters a great deal, including Shepard. I didn't mind the ending, my sadness stems from the understanding that a great series has come to an end.
