I'll just stop playing after Shepard gets hit by the beam. The rest plays out in my head.
Did ME3 ending kill series replayability completely?

Same here.

I can't really describe it, but when I saw the endings I didn't feel rage or disappointment. It was more like apathy, or almost nothing at all besides "That's it?" For a series that's managed to evoke some emotions out of me, I'd say something's wrong with that. Strange how that stops me from trying NG+ or another import.

If the endings are all you care about, yes, it kills replayability. But there are lots of things that can happen differently in the middle that are worth exploring, in my opinion.

There are lots of awesome moments in the ME games, but ME3 for me is really hard to get thru again. It just feels so unrewarding after such a journey

It did for me. I'll admit it.
While the rest of the experience was wholly worthwhile, knowing that the ending will not change regardless of what I do has made replaying as any other Shepard seem a waste of time. Sure I can see different relationships develop and whatnot, but everything's going to be royally screwed anyway. I'll basically be sewing seeds knowing full well I'll never get to harvest crops.
I'll almost certainly play again using another Shepard. But I won't be anywhere near as invested, because I'll already know the conclusion will negate everything. I'll basically just pick different things for the sake of seeing different things, with no other reason or hope for alternative outcomes.
It's sad, really.

Remember the good ol' days when we were promised at January that our choices wouldn't be regulated to A, B, and C? Oh how I miss those times, where we can take a mans word for anything.

The endings are all the same with a little difference here and there. I find no reason to play the game all over again.

The mass effect universe for me is tainted by the endings (?) of ME3.
Nothing I ever did in the series matters.
I have over 10 Shepards that will now collect dust. I can't play this game, it's futile.

I still own and play each of these games when the mood strikes. I still own Mass Effect 3 as well. Can't put it on the list as is because I really don't think I will play again. ME and ME2 may soon follow. Sad day.

No, it didn't.
But it certainly makes me wonder exactly HOW much of ME3 I will ever play again.
I did about 98% of the side missions nad got every conceivable war asset in the galaxy. And it made practically no difference in the end.
Might just fly through the campaign from now on. Get JUST ENOUGH war assets to get access to al three endings.

Yes, it killed the series, why is why they have to fix the ending if they want solid DLC sales.
#265
Posté 17 mars 2012 - 03:36
Well it has definitely made it more difficult for me to do so with the endings as they are.
My reason boils down to "what's the point?"
If the ending that's is put in front of me is more dependant on how many war assets I have and my Galactic readiness level then something is definitely wrong

No.
There are enough moments that are great across the three games, that I can ignore the few that are not.

I might play it again some day, I'll stop after the farewell scenes however and then imagine my own ending.

I envy people that can continue to play the game after the endings, I really do. I wish I coudl enjoy it.
It's not so much an issue of depression, I don't feel emotional pain when I go to play it again... just indifferent and apathetic. Like I said, disenchanted.
Mass Effect was always fun and exciting before, now it's just bleh. No real motivation to go back and play any of them at this point. It's a shame because I had a few different characters to roll with, but only was able to muster up the interest to get one through, and it has everything to do with the endings.
For the time being I just don't bother even trying. Other things to do that are more entertaining.

I want to finsh the rest of my characters sooooo bad, I still have 2 i have not done on ME2 and i cant even bring my self to go back an play those.
Sooo much was done right in this game, so much Cambat,Charactors, Romance, over all fun
but all is ruined with the last 10 mins of ME3
minus the ending and a few wierd/lazy moments (Tali's pic, quest system, Cabot) it is a great game but like all epics the end is just as if not more important than the journy

I keep trying to play, but it is such a struggle. I don't even care anymore. Why would they do this?

Nope. First thing I did after finishing ME3 (main quest only) was to jump back and play it again with my femshep to do it properly with side quests. Then, I went back into ME2 to start up a broshep to take into ME3 and play through again. After that, I plan to go to my old laptop and play ME 1 (2 and 3 are on my PS3 because my personal laptop is too crappy to run the sequels.)
A disappointing ending (execution-wise) isn't enough to kill all the wonderful moments I experienced playing it. I keep seeing people say it all means nothing anymore becauset they didn't like the ending, and fair enough if they feel that way, but i just don't feel that way at all.

The point of the journey is the destination, if the ending invalidates the journey, then the whole thing becomes pointless.
So game uninstalled, playing Witcher 2
I'm sorry and not trying to offend anyone but only saints and children think the journey matters more then the destination.
You work so you can make money to pay your bills, you don't work just for the hell of working.

For me, it didn't completely kill replayability, but rather just cheapened it. Any time I play the games now will be either just for the fun of blowing stuff up/using biotics, or pursuing a different LI or something.
