I am not proud to say that I was among those who scoffed at those who said the endings were horrible. But now my eyes have been opened. I wish more than anything I could return to the blissful ignorance of not knowing what the endings were.

[Virginia Blend]

Yup I excused everyone as whiny and over critical. I thought "No way the endings could be that bad."

.......I was wrong.......

[aliengmr1]

I heard absolutely nothing about the plot before playing. Vaguely heard about the leak awhile back but that was it. Like I said I 100% expected a crazy, intense version of the ME2 ending. Marauder Shields tried to stop me, but I didn't listen.


When I saw the poll here, I knew something went horribly wrong. Never seen a poll that high just after release.

I avoided spoilers like the plague, but couldn't help my seeing a few headlines on gaming sites regarding the ending and the ensuing outrage. I figured that either the choices made available to the player were limited, or it was just very ambiguous.

Then I actually finished the game. Wow.  Miles beyond the worst I thought it could be.

 I had avoided all talk of ME3 and the internet talk in general (I HATE spoilers), so I hadn't a clue.  The rest of the game was that brilliant that the ending knocked the stuffing out of me.  

Me too.  After I finished, I called my sister to tell her to just ... stop playing it.  She called me back the next day after she'd watched the endings on youtube to thank me.

I did, I was like bioware will do us right.... boy was I wrong. how sad

[Dragoonlordz]

Yes I was worried that they were bad with all the moaning going on here, but I was wrong to listen to all the moaning and the ending was very good (imho). It served it purpose being entertaining, emotional farewell to Shepard and conclusive end to the trilogy being dead and dying has that effect to a story. I am glad he did not live happy ever after as it would of flown in the face of common sense personally and gone against the principle of conclusive (meaning dead) end of Shepards story.

I was in denial for a few days. LOL. I was trying to avoid telling my other friends that played ME. I threw a lie that I got the best ending... and it only took three tries in less than an hour. This got them all worried lmao. Oh man they are going to hate me when they get there.

[Skirlasvoud]

I knew people thought it was bad, but I disregarded it as "****ing". I just kept it under distant consideration.


When I played it, the game was just so good that I didn't even belief it. Everything was just so... perfect. I even created a few posts on these forums congratulating Bioware. I was zoned in.

Then, there was the ending... and I literally went through several stages of anguish.

1. Ah, so they were right. Well I guess I should have seen it coming, silly me.
2. Maybe... if I replay the game, things will be totally different.
3. *watches youtube* Hhhmmm, I guess there's just a single ending.
4. Whow, great game. London was kind of a depressing drag though. Few mistakes here and there.
5. The ending made no sense however. Wonder why not. *Starts thinking*
6. That ending was really bad.
7. That ending was atrocious.
8. I don't even want to replay the game. What's the point? I created 8 different ME1 Shepards for nothing!
9. I'm going to go to the Bioware social forums.
10. Hell yeah! We're an entire movement.
11. Only that goddamn ending stuck with me.
12. This game could have been so much better!
13 *Berserker mode.*


Pretty much this:

I knew about the ending cinematics before I started playing. But I went on and thought, maybe if I see it on my own screen, things work out differently. That was true for some other parts of the game I knew about beforehand. I was optimistic things would work out for the ending as well.

Man, was I wrong. I don't think I ever played a game whose ending made me feel this bad, especially after being outright awesome for 35 hours. So many memorable moments, so much emotion, such epic storytelling. The list of awesome moments in this game would fill a book.

And then...the end. And everything was ruined. It beggars comprehension.

[pharsti]

Here, guilty, knew there was some hub hub about how bad the ending(s) to ME3 were, if only i had read instead of not wanting to be spoiled T_T

[77boy84]

I had bits of the ending spoiled for me, like the relays blowing up, and shepard dying, and that's what I thought people were so mad about.

I had no idea what I was in for.

Actually, knowing that there was a good chance that shepard dies made the final talk with everyone a lot more sad and emotional. Shame the actual ending ruined it all.

[Zzzlurp]

I was thinking "it can't be that bad, just bias by butthurt fans" by the time i was playing me3 and didn't read any news or posts regarding the ending.

But it proved as being true. I have yet to recover from the mind****ery I went through this thursday....

[Vito_Raliffe]

I stopped going on the Internet as of March 1st to continue not knowing anything about the game. I beat the game on March 13th and immediately went online to see if everyone hated the ending(s) as much as I did.

[Worufu]

Yeah, I was the one trying to prepare people for this. But nooo.
'I'ma gonna play this soooo much! I want to have everything for the end, because BioWare said everything matters!'
'I must have 100% Galactic Readiness so I'm gonna play multi all day long! It will totally pay off!'

Few days later
'NO WHYYYYYYYY'

And when I was playing the game, I simply couldn't understand, couldn't imagine ending THAT BAD in a game THAT AWESOME. Because it was one heck of a ride from the very beginning to the ten-last-minutes. Then: showstopper. Then: heavy dissapointment.

They were never going to please anyone, and it did cross my mind that I just might be one of those few (those "few", that was actually my reasoning) who would not be completely fine with the ending. But this? This? Really?

After the credits rolled I actually just sat there and stared at the screen with a "whatwaitwhat?" expression for a while. Then I went back to a pre-magic-beam-to-heaven save, forced my way through the atrocious last ten minutes again, to try a different ending. Did that. Got even more confused, and even more disappointed, seeing nearly the same ending but with a different color. Tried the third color, just for sh*ts and giggles.

Then I wiki'd the ending, despite disliking spoilers (but then, you can't spoil what's already broken). Then I came here, hoping this is a joke I'm simply not getting.

Since then I lost any intent I had to replay the game (what's the point?), but with every add-on possible (which wouldn't change anything, so, again, what's the point?) and have signed a petition, voted in some polls and donated a few dollars to a charity, so I suppose some good did come out of it. But not by BW's effort, no.

peace

@naughty99

 So if you choose to control or destroy the reapers instead of synthesis, you still see Jeff and EDI escape to a new planet, and Jeff has synthetic circuitry from becoming a hybrid?

Changing a texture is on the same level as changing the color of the explosion - doesn't really qualify as being something different. In addition, the Gulligans Planet part contains too much space magic to be considered acceptable.

[Mahrac]

I stopped by the spoiler forum, thought it was trolls from 4chan or something

[yahtzo]

Yep.  I thought "no way it can't be that bad"....

Then when I got hit by Harbingers laser I knew something fishy was up, and then starchild was the final straw.

[Doctoglethorpe]

I thought people we're just overreacting about the use of a deus ex machina plot device which I was totally okay with as long as it was still epic and satisfying, and there was a nice happy ending with closure afterwards.

I had no idea........

Marauder Shields tried to warn me one last time, and I blew his head off for it. 

[Jamie9]

It was like being kicked in the daddybags. For 50,000 years.

[Mad-Hamlet]

I didn't, I couldn't believe it was going to be that bad. I mean, the sheer weight and majesty, the very inertia of the story wouldn't allow it, right?

Right?

Ah.

I see.

[huntrrz]

Actually, I was avoiding spoilers so I didn't come to the forums for a week before the release.

I was completely blindsided. (Although if I had been aware of complaints, I would have given Bioware the benefit of the doubt. And all evidence up to the last 20 minutes of the game supported that belief.)

[Daedalus1773]

 I knew nothing about the ending before I finished it. I avoided all mention of Mass Effect 3 online like a plague until I finished it - I wanted NOTHING spoiled.

I finished it, LOVED it right up until the lift carried me up to talk to the Star Child, and everything went sideways from there.  I chose the green ending & wondered WTH I'd done wrong. Then checked my score, reviewed my choices, and came to the conclusion something was *very* wrong w/ the ending choices. Playing the Red & Blue endings confirmed it - it was like the horrific love-child ending of Deus Ex HR & some other game that didn't remotely resemble the Mass Effect I'd been playing for 5 years.

I wandered online in a state of mild shock, because I'd had ABSOLUTE faith that BioWare was going to give us the most amazing payoff ending to cap off 5 years of living in their universe and living in Shepard's skin. Especially since the rest of ME3 was such an amazing capstone game for the series.

While I was glad to see I wasn't crazy/alone in my feelings, it was heartbreaking to realize it was universally that bad. I haven't been able to login & play a game (any game) for days. The feeling of betrayal is that deep.
