@Dilandou3000 I was there, took me 6 days to get over it. I would say that looking at the red ending, where Shepard wakes up, it is a marketing ploy, so that everyone talks about the ending so much, others play it that much more, and buy it just to beat it to see for themselves. Then after the game is internationally released on March 15th, I bet sometime after March 21st there will be some announcement by Bioware/EA that goes along the lines of "gotcha" hidden behind a message of them taking extra time to fine tune the real ending.

I'm enjoying replaying it because Insanity is fun and I enjoy the content before that (got a nice surprise today that I wouldn't have got during my first PT), but I intend to stop after the Earth goodbyes because there's no point in continuing to the end.

Tried playing through ME2 last night... having trouble playing through the introduction, because of the damn ME3 ending.

I still can't believe anyone, let alone Bioware, could write anything *this* bad that it ruins the entire trilogy. But they did.

I'll play a lot more times just as I have with the other 2. The ending weren't great but I love the series and no matter how much I care about a fictional character that other people created a death that is largely in many cases well written or a after the fact death or doom that you have to believe in and create in your own mind don't bother me.
This is the last time we will see these guys anyway and everyone dies anyway.
I have real life dead friends and loved ones to care about and I can't just go back and play again to see them.

Yes. The depressing and poor quality ending killed any interest in the universe for me. Also I am very dissapointed that we did not get a chance to fight Harby.

You know they say there is a magic potion that erases the memory of the Mass Effect 3 ending when you drink it...
Its called bleach.

I thought that was Jack...

Either the drink OR the character... either one will make you forget...  one's just more painful than the other.

I kinda wish there were 2 Day 1 DLCs now Even with what I consider the best interpretation of the events I still have no desire to play ANY computer game let alone anything in the ME series.  Note I haven't turned on my XBox in 3 days ... I don't remember the last time I didn't at least turn on the XBox and see if there wasn't something good on NetFlix or something ...

As far as I can tell there is only ONE single "victory" ending [I'm a hallucination theory person] and that's the one where Shep wakes up ... the so called perfect ending. There is in effect [if you disregard inconsequential elements] one quasi-victory where you choose destruction but don't wake up ... All of the other "endings" are just different [irrelevant] variations on a dream.

So basically choices made in the prior games matter only in the most inconsequential way [to determine EMS numbers] ; you never see how things play out ; etc.   Why even bother if you cared about the series and feel cheated ...

Just keep thinking, "no matter what happens, no matter how much effort I put forth, no matter how many allies I gather or how well I prepare for the end: I'm going to die a retarded, retarded death."

There are a lot of posts talking about how Bioware SHOULD release a complete ending DLC. At this point, I would gladly pay for it. I literally could not sleep last night after beating the game. I was so upset that I was going to live with Liara forever and then she gets marooned on some random planet where Joker and Garrus will pull a train on her every night!!!!!!! I seriously hope that this was not the real end, otherwise I will really be very saddened by the whole ending.

One of the developers tweeted a while back saying "If you could only see what we have planned for ME3 you would keep your game forever." This was after release of course. I hope this means something to tie up all the loose ends because the ending was just terrible!

Kills the replay value of the whole trilogy. Who wants to play it again just to change the color of the ending? Pfft. Hoping and waiting for the real ending to come out because this is currently the end of the franchise in my book.

Ok if you have high war readiness check out the red ending again, Shepard just woke up in London folks, that is not a real ending.

So? I'm aware of all the indoctrination/hallucination theories, but still, what does that say about Bioware? 

Either they are going to provide a free "Ending DLC" and say that they'd planned it all along - so Bioware is basically playing a 80€ prank on their paying customers.

OR

Bioware does not provide said free DLC and keeps going on and on about the artsiness of their "dark" and "brooding" poor excuse for an ending that does not provide any kind of closure for us - apart from not containing any of the promised features like, oh, say, "Reapers can win" (which they technically do in the Control and Synthesis endings), or "Choices matter" which at the moment they certainly don't.

OR

Bioware is going to try to sell us an "Ending DLC", in which case we all have bought an incomplete game and are now charged for fixing it.

So, at the moment I really don't care if the ending is real or not. It may well be an illusion or indoctrination, but who cares? In its present state, the ending disgraces the series. It makes my ParagonShep a mass murderess either directly (by killing every single Geth in the galaxy), or makes her condemn countless millions of people (and that includes other species) to a slow and decidedly unfunny death by starvation, exposure, dehydration and other horrors because of the total collapse of society, strands millions of Quarians who have just regained their homeworld in the Sol System, and so on. Or it all is an illusion, in which case the ending does bugger-all, because who knows what happened?

I'm still going to replay, though. Even if they don't fix the ending (which is in dire need of some fixing), the remainder of the game is still fun. However, I will just stop playing after the Anderson/Shepard dialogue on the citadel and assume that they died taking the Reapers with them.

EDITED: Grammar fail.

It kills the series for the same reason the Multiplayer Reset bug kills the MP replay value: nobody wants to sink in time, money, and effort into something that yields crap as a result. I'm not going to play MP until I can be guranteed that my unlocks (i.e. my investment in time, money, and effort) are safe, and I won't play single player because in the end, all my effort amounts to a colored explosion.

How's that? Either all of the Citadel sequence is a hallucination, including the three choices of "Which colour would you like the explosion (that will end civilization as you know it) to have?" Or none of it is hallucinated, in which case you get presented with the choice between worst possible outcome, worst possible outcome and not-quite-worst possible outcome. And it's still no ending that gives closure. It's only an ending as in "the game stops now."

Edit for clarification:
If it's a hallucination, then Shep didn't go to the Citadel and hence she couldn't make any choices. She did not talk to Creepy Space Boy, she did not shoot TIM in the face (or made him shoot himself), she did not make any choice regarding which colour she'd like civilization to end with. She gets shot by Harby, passes out and wakes up later (how much later, we don't know).

If it's no hallucination, then everything happens as told, including Space Magic, Creepy Space Boy and deus ex machina ending that is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Ok come on peeps, only ME1 gave you unlimited ammo, was I the one that kept firing the handgun at everything and noticed that I never reloaded or ran out of ammo. It was definitely a hallucination.

[happy_diplomat]

We have all played EA/Bioware games, and Bioware definitely pulls out all the stops, and have proven they are not afraid to entertain us even with misery, I am sure they are still working the kinks out of the final ending that is going to truly end all beat all games of this year and prior. Also if anyone has noticed, the 3rd "red" ending has different levels of loss based on the decisions you made with war assets and all end with shep waking up in London, and only the dark shepard would kill everyone due to lack of war assets, i.e. causing mass death and damage to said assets.

For the millionth time, in the very first part of the prologue, before Anderson says he's out of ammo, you had infinite ammo too. It's a concession made to emphasize story over gameplay, nothing more.

[Tamcia]

Same. I did want to replay last two hours and try another ending (chose destroy first time) and choose different squad mates , just in case those you bring a long die - I can't. It's too much, it's like watching a friend getting killed all over again - too hard.

 I'm sure Hudson and his team expected a good deal of flaming for the endings, but we are talking about a serious matter that damages their reputation. We were promised a game that has more replayability than ME2. With the current endings, that promise was dishonest. Seriously, who wants to play more than twice with this current outcome?

I stopped on my first, and only, playthrough as soon as I killed that bloody Kai Leng. After that, I was done and I won't be touching ME3 - or either of the other two - ever again, despite wasting hundreds of hours building characters and making choices so my Shepards were "just so. They didn't just kill the replayability of ME3, they killed the replayability of the whole bloody series. For me, anyway. 

[Xandax]

During ME3 I was already planning another play-through of ME1 and ME2 to do some other choices (despite having other save games to import as well).
I was so awed by the game, blown away by the emotional investment, the music, the dialogue and scenes.

Now after the ending - I can't get myself to do it, just to select green or blue over red.

Yeah the end ruined a replay value I would have had otherwise for ME3. I have 9 other Sheppard's I could bring through ME3, but in the end I say to myself what is the point, all my decisions from ME1/ME2 are thrown out the window, and the ending is horrible no matter what you choose so whats the point.

if you want your voice heard louder got to my blog which I have a link too in my Sig , click on my ME3 review and click on the links to my polls.

1. would you Boycott Bioware if they don't fix the endings
2. do you believe Multiplayer should have no impact on the single player campaign
3. Facebook Campaign demand better endings for ME3

[happy_diplomat]

@dilandou3000 that seemed more like a bug than a story element, because realistically once you crossed the invisible barrier to activate that part you automatically were out of ammo after a few shots, and it was a tutorial section to illustrate the melee ability so the bug can be forgiven. Otherwise the Mars scene would have been unlimited ammo option as well if they meant to use concessions in the gameplay mechanics.
