Everything up until the ending is golden. Everything after walking into the beam is just horrific.

In the meantime, let's give appreciation to Commander Shepard. Whether you loved the ME3 ending or didn't or you just have a lot of questions, he/she has given many of us some of the best adventures we have had while playing games. What was your favorite moment? :)

You all don't deserve to know what I liked.  Not yet.

Keep reading this until you can give us a proper response beyond "we are listening".  The way you spam it just comes out as robotic and soulless.

The lack of catharsis/closure/epilogue with that ending is traumatizing enough to me that I can't even identify the moments I enjoyed most at this point. 

That is despite the fact that the deus ex machina approach just doesn't work for this series and the ending was bad in general.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! You ask people to hold off on the debate because you want more people to experience the end? Is this for Spoiler reasons? Because it seems you are asking this due to spoilers contained in such a discussion,  but then ask people to give their favourite moments of the game? Which is asking for spoilers? I call Shenanigans on this.

My favourite moment would be when I used the crucible to threaten the reapers to leave or be destroyed. and saved the galaxy,and was reunited with my Sheps LI, oh wait that didn't happen because the product I bought was falsely advertised.

Loved the game up to the ending. Mordin, Thane and Legion's death scenes were all very well done. A couple more squad mates would have been nice, I expect they will be DLC later. I won't be buying any DLC now that you killed Shepard though, if you're going to end the game with me dying I don't want to be put back on the Normandy as if nothing happened.

I'll patiently wait then :). My favorite part? Everything! But the Emergency Induction Port was epic.

So much of the game just smacked of laziness. Naturally, the endings...

But seriously... Who the hell thought that grabbing a random image off of the internet and photoshopping it was a worthwhile way to show Tali's face?! Some of the time you spent on that BS Day 1 DLC could have darn well been spent there!

Best moments:

Curing the genophage - righting a wrong based on racist/speciesist thinking
Liara time capsule
MShep/Kaidan romance - tasteful, honest, didn't feel like a retcon
Garrus on the Citadel - reminder of mortality and enjoying what you have
Earth invasion - kid(liked it then) and the reaper descent
Edi's embracing her individuality
Tali on Rannoch
Earth ending - loved the goodbyes/goodlucks and final speech about friendship

The ending felt mean. So much time building up relationships with characters to see them land on some nowhereland with Shep barely alive somewhere back in Sol, and no indication they'll ever see each other again.

Best memory of ME3:
I just have to say that curing the genophage is the best with Mordin going up that elevator knowing that he won't make it but determined to fix his mistake. The music, the scenery and Mordin singing's just perfect. I admit that i cried when watching that and i'm so happy that a character like Mordin went out with the best style possible

I had a blast playing ME3 until the endings and the game is full of awesome parts but no part is as awesome as Mordin going out in style

I have many favourite moments.
Mordin sacrificing himself and seeing the genophage cure spread around Tuchanka.
Ending a 300 year old war by yelling and then hearing the geth are helping the quarians improve their immune system.
Being inside the geth consensus, seeing their memories and realizing there were quarians who fought for them instead of against them.
Being inside a dark Ardat-Yakshi monastery and hearing those screams and wails...
"I'm Garrus Vakarian and this is my favorite spot on the Citadel!"
Garrus and Tali worrying about Liara after the fall of Thesia.
That talk with Anderson after taking out TIM.
Meeting everyone before the final Hammer assault.

I just wish we had an ending that didn't involve destroying galactic civilization as we know it. An ending that shows/tells us the consequences of our past choices (like geth/quarian) rather than giving us some vague symbolic cut scenes.
Preferably one where Shepard can live without me having to play multiplayer. You might want to work on balancing the War Assets system. Maybe make it a standard 70% readiness rather than 50%?

I do have my problems with the ending, like so many others, BUT I do want to say a few other things.

1. Thank you for posting and listening to all of us. :)

2. And most importantly, I LOVE all of the Mass Effect games. ME3 is one of the most phenomenal games I have ever played. It absolutely FLOORED me the attention to detail and prior Shepherd choices that you guys all took the time to resolve and mention. Dragon Age can really take a lesson from this team about importing decisions and making sure they matter and don't bug out. :) I can't even express how much this game means to me, and I'm fairly sure this game qualifies as emotional warfare, which is the highest compliment I can give. I've NEVER been so invested in any type of media (game, show, movie or book) as I have been into this franchise and my Shepherd.

Favorite moments? So so many to mention.
1. The banter between Shepherd and Wrex during (usually) combat scenes. "I'm fighting a REAPER Wrex!" "I know, you always get all the fun."

2. Conrad Verner. BEST resolution to anything in the game ever. I was literally rolling on the floor laughing so hard. And it cracked me up even more that I would have a thought in my head and then my Shepherd would actually say it "Oh for the love of..." and "Conrad...do you even HAVE a wife?" and "So help me Conrad there better not be a shrine of me somewhere..." Just most amazing scenes ever.

3. The Quarian and Geth standoff right after facing down a Reaper on foot. I swear I (as the player) was shaking profusely after that entire encounter.

4. Getting all my fish and my hamster back

5. Mordrin...all of it.

6. Major Kirrehe...all of it.

7. Drunk Tali

And so so many others. :)

I realize I should have mentioned the final scene with Thane, too. I liked how, when you first meet Thane, he says something like prayers for the wicked must not be forsaken, and reveals that the prayers were not for Nassana but for himself. Then, when you pray with Kolyat, he reveals the prayers are not for Thane, but for you. It made me feel ...

It made me feel so much more than the shell of an ending.

 First of all, congratulations and a fantastic game. My favourite taking over from Assasssins Creed. Loved the gameplay, story and multiplayer.  There are so many moments that I loved. Any moment with Liara was good but Id have to say when Mordin died was the best because I nearly cried, it was so emotional. Onthe ending, it was a good ending, I understood all the stuff with syntetics and organics as regards the geth but i dint like the same endings no matter what choice you made. Whay really annoys me is just what happens to all the characters. What happens to Earth, did the mass relay destroy it, are all the fleets dead or stranded in the sol system. Why were the Normandy crew in a Mass Relay jump in the first place (did they abandon Shepard) and I kninda wish Shepard surviveed if you did things perfectly. I know in one ending you get a hint he survived but thats useless, unless there is going to be another game (hopefully there is). Also with the Mass Relays gone what happens to all the alien races and are the Normandy crew screwed on their alien planet. Maybe noe that they could be part synthetic and organic they can develop a way to travel without mass relays but so many questions and i want answers. ALOT OF PLOT-HOLES opened from ending. DLC or a future game could answer that. Finally I think you could have put in another scene at the end like whoever you romanced with having a baby that is human or half asari/human with Liara. (Don't say thats stupid but so is having new DNA made between synthetics and organics). However, they did suceed in created a mysterious ending with so many questions and this will never be forgotten because it still great. But all in all a mew game or some DLC could answer the questions i'd like to know. The ending doesnt have to changed but the plot holes opened from the endings should be answered.

GREAT GAME THOUGH

I thought the game was great. The gameplay and story (until the ending (it's not bad!), more in the next paragraph) met and surpassed all my expectations. The way our Sheps can interact with the crew, the missions (my favorite might be Grissom Academy, but the first run in with Kai Lang is also awesome), the complex character that Shep has become. Really, really, great!

There's another thread around here where I talk about the ending. But essentially, the emotional reaction it had on me was pretty profound. It was dramatic, sad, beautiful, unlike anything a game has ever evoked in me before. I can compare this reaction only to great books, music and movies. Now I can add video games to it, which is pretty amazing.

But despite all that, and despite my profound reaction (again, thank you for allowing me to experience that), I still leave myself wanting an ending that many of us do. I don't know if that means I feel like I SHOULD. But it's tough because, like many of us, I too want to see Shep continue on with his LI and his good bud Garrus. I was thinking my Shep might even go into politics, take a seat on the council! So I'm torn.

For me it was a rollercoaster of emotions, difficult to choose one, the end on Tuchanka with Mordin comes to mind. Despite the ending and the confusion, I will still treasure all these adventures as one of the best, if not the best, trilogy in the story of gaming.

I literally got up, went downstairs to think and get a drink, then spilled the drink going back up the stairs because I was so distracted by that question and how I was going to respond.  It took me over 10 minutes to respond.

My favorite part? The end of the Quarian-Geth war. It has always been my favorite sub-theme in the whole game, and when I finally made peace between the two standing on the soil of long-lost Rannoch? Oh yeah, there were manly tears in my eyes.

The whole game was so completely awesome, right until the very end with the Magic Space Kid. Heck, I thought Shepard and Anderson's "Best seats in the house" scene should be nominated for an Oscar, it was that good. Then it all fell apart.

If you all are listening, I hope that the message you're hearing from your deepest fans is that we loved everything you did until the end...your hard work and effort did NOT go in vain. But Mass Effect *deserves* a better ending than what was there.

Bioware if you are listening please listen to this.  i have been a fan since the late 90s and any way I and some other people I know are stuck on dial up right now that means we can not get all the endings to the single player game because there is no way for us to play multiplayer.  Please think about releasing a patch that lets people who can't play multiplayer get enough EMS points so we can play all the endings.  I didn't need highspeed to finish the other games I don't think i should need it to finish single play of this game.  After all I paid the same $80 as the people who can play mulitplayer would it really be too much to ask that I get the same single player content they do?

Loved ME1 and ME2 played each 5 times mostly so I could take those 5 different saves through ME3 . I was only introduced to ME in late summer 2010 and it’s got me hooked. I play a lo tof MMOs and never thought I would play a console game more than a few 2-5 hours but I have 300+ hours in ME and want more (heck I got my kids into ME :-P ). I thank BW for that.

LOVED much of ME3, in fact 90% of it was a slam dunk, losing old squad mates, all be it sad, was done wonderfully, humor was great  and EDI’s dialogue was especially entertaining, Tali and Ash drunk – funny stuff, the day 1 DLC – not a problem and loved the content. Other than the ending more LI dialogue would be my wish (I would by a DLC for more  ;). There are many more great things to say Vs bad.

However, I know you don’t want to hear this “again” but the ending ruined ME3’s over all experience for me and I won’t play it a second time (unfortunately) it was just strange and disconnected from the overall stories and experience I had in the previous 2 endings. My choices did not matter, the “16” endings were pretty much all the same with slight variations that made them feel / look the same to me. And the space magic kid just did not fit IMO. I was hopeful that working my but off in game would at least let me have a shot at a happy ending with LI
by my side to gaze into the sky, I also was hoping for a sad one where Shep and others die at the last stand, I expected and would have played the game to see every ending etc..

But thanks for responding, I hope the ending is addressed as you have done so much good work on this and I believe BW/EA will lose some fans/customers if thsi is teh way it "ends".

I still believe that Mass Effect is the best gaming series ever. And Mass Effect 3 was great game with alot alot of emotion. I'm just very disapointed by the ending. But again; the rest of the game was fantastic.:)

I hope there will be some official explanation of the ending and (or) maybe DLC later that adds to it.

And my favorite moment must have been Anderson's final talk with Shepard about starting a family, before he died. Very moving. :)

Oh yeah and drunk Tali is soooo awesome! Hahaha.. :D

Thanks again Bioware for a great game(s). Looking forward to hear what you have to say. :)

What was your favorite moment?

It truly was a brilliant game and my favourite of all time until the last 5-10 mins.  Apart from that though, there are so many moments that I can't pick a favourite.  The following things spring to mind;
  • The crew moving about the Normandy making jokes.  It brought the neccessary humour to such a desperate tale.  Tali and Ashley being drunk, Garrus having fun with Joker etc
  • Any scene with Liara.  Honestly.  Each so very well written and voice acted.
  • The space battles.  You guys truly exceeded my expectations for all of them.
  • The showdown with the Reaper on Rannoch.  Unforgettable.  One of those times in a game where I've said to myself "I'm doing what now?!  You've gotta be kidding! Ths is insane!!"
  • Finishing off Kai Leng at the Cerberus Base.  I hated him after what happened to Thane, but I truly despised him after Thessia.   Stabbing him with the Omni-blade was an F-yeah moment.
  • Curing the Genophage.  Watching Mordins final moments were manly tear worthy.
  • The shooting competition with Garrus.
There's so many more great moments, but again, I have to emphasize, I hated that ending.
