Yes, it killed it for me. I got up to Mars on my second ME2 import. I just don't have the desire to replay this one. =[
Did ME3 ending kill series replayability completely?

Same here.
Yep. Beat ME1: immediately started a new game. Beat ME2: immediately started a new game. Beat ME3: raged for an hour, then registered on forums to complain.

I have no desire to go through another playthrough right now, when i beat ME1 and ME2 i immediately started a new game. I'll wait and see what they say about the endings but im sure i'll end up playing it again some time in the future.

Since when do you need multiple endings to replay a game?? Come on... how many times did you finish BG I/II, NWN or DAO? Because all of those games had exactly one ending.
Stupid ending or not, ME3 is still an awsome game.

So did ME 1 and ME 2. Actually, Kotor had slightly different endings. The path too that ending was the same though.

Yes, I even bought ME1 on PC today with the intention of going through at least the first 2 games and I couldn't play it for more than 5 minutes
. It just hit me on character creation...I looked at Shepard and thought, dude doing nothing is almost the same as busting your ass in the end so what's the point?

'Tis an extremely strange feeling, because I truly loved playing ME3. For my tastes it was damn near perfect! Every fantastic moment of joy and laughter with the characters, every triumphant victory, every heartbreking death-scene, every touching moment with my LI, every old face, every new face (not counting Allers), etc.
I truly want to go back IMMEDIATLEY and relive it all again, but i simply can't muster the nerve to do it without feeling a bitter aftertaste.
I can't judge the quality of the endings yet, because I'm not sure if I fully understood any of them.
I can however say that by the end I had no feeling of triumph or closure like I had all the other amazing bioware games.
I would compare the whole event as a passionate night with a beautiful woman in front of the fireplace and suddenly, without an explanation, being pushed out the front door into the snow.
What happened? Had I done something wrong? Though this beautiful woman might've had good reasons for doing what she did, I now feel cold, naked, unwanted and unfulfilled.

It didn't just ruin the series, it ruined gaming for me.

Even though I hate the ending the rest of the game is so damn good, I'm on third play through and I still enjoy the game knowing whats at the end of the road.

I have given it a few honest shots trying to start a new game then I get about half way through the bioware logo and remember the ending and go meh.......... and then go and play something else.

I'm gonna copy my post from my thread HERE, in my opinion - it's the reason that replaying the series is pointless now:
As established in the "Arrival" DLC, when Mass Effect Relay blows up, it releases energy compared to supernova explosion, which is capable of destroying entire system the relay is in. In that case:
a) What was the point of curing the genophage? Krogans die anyway, because of relay explosion in their system.
What was the point of making peace between Quarians and Geth? They all die anyway, for the same reason.
c) What was the point of even trying to help all those races and planets, that are essentialy doomed, because of relays destruction?
And last, but not least:
d) What is the point of showing us Shepard catching a breath in Earth ruins in perfect ending? Relay is destroyed, so he won't live for much longer than seconds/minutes more anyway. I'm not even mentioning the plotholes, like - why Joker was running, why your companions, who were with you the moment Harbinger hits you with his lazor find themselves on the Normandy moments later? Is it a glitch, bug or what else?
Seriously, what is the point of even starting Mass Effect 1, if whole trilogy ends with destruction of entire life in the galaxy? Your family, lovers, friends, companions, all either dead, or on some weird planet for no reason. And feed me with that "it's journey that matters" BS, it's something you can tell childer in kindergarden.
I was looking forward to replaying the whole series... after finishing ME3 (which, until the ending, was my favorite part of the trilogy) i have no desire to. After all - what's the point?

Nah, the ending killing replayability?
Nope, I just nuked them off my harddrive. All of the ME franchise.

I bought 2 CE editions, what a farce. I have 8 ME2 Shepards to play. After the 1st playthrough, I have no more inclination to finish the remaining 7...
What's the point?

I gotta go with this. I'm so devastated, how bad the endings were. I played the game without looking at spoiler-forums, thinking, wow, this game is so good, but seeing some headlines, I was somewhat worried about the endings. And then, today, I must say, this is the biggest gaming dissapointment of my life. AND I have played games since 1979. "I AM a DISSAPOINT". Might give the multiplayer some hours though. On a personal note, I'm a pro film-critic, and these endings, were they on a film, would get quite bad reviews.

Didn't kill the replayabillity for the complete series for me but somehow I lost the interest in playing ME3 again with another character after I realised there are not much differences between the endings and all of them are somehow depressing.

Add me to the yes crowd. There is no reason to replay it. You get the same endings regardless of what you do. Why waste the time?

Completely? No, not to me. It's too good overall to give up on it.
Did it keep me from jumping in for another round immediately? Absolutely.

Yes it did. I was hoping to proudly put the Mass Effect Trilogy on display in my room, but now since the replay value of the entire series is diminished, i just...i dunno.

Sort of, I tried to replay from one but felt depressed and confused everytime I have to make a choice that might change the ending ( I still believe my choice matters, silly me)

I agree, and if we can build a Crucible in what felt like a couple weeks, we sure can build a mass relay.

The endings are all the same so who cares about replayability? The romances are not unique or fun....I played DA:O 5 times over, but have no desire to play this again as a female. :|

Yup. Try to play ME1 yesterday....can't stand the sick feeling in less than 30 mins. Try to play ME3 to romance Liara today, nearly broke my keyboard when I saw the stupid kid!!!
