The ending ruined the game for me. We've all watched movies and thought "That was great. I'd watch it again." We've also left the theater thinking "What the hell was that? Is it too late to get my money back?" Regardless of how the movie started, how much you liked of hated individual scenes, the feelings we left the theater with are what remain. They color any future experiences we have with those universes.

So yeah, it ruined everything for me. I can't go back and play previous games without thinking "Why don't they just do that now?" The plot holes the finale opened up stretch back way too far. They engulf every action you take in all 3 games. Unless the ending is overwritten, I can't go back. I'm done with the games for now.

Lets just say it let a LOT to be desired. I didn't need a happy ending, but it is the worst ending since KOTOR2 from Bioware. Now a large part of the problem is not that the ending is bad, but that it does not fell like a good rap up for a trilogy of games. Games with a huge focus on choice and your squad. All of that was left out of the ending.

If you go with they green ending...what happens with the Geth and Quarians that I negotiated peace between? Are they one race or two?

What about the Krogan? Does Wrex and his fertile female lead the Krogen to a golden age, or does the Green ending revers the cure I fought very hard for?

So yah, I guess it does not ruin the game for me....but the endings feel incomplete.

Ruined the trilogy, and if that wasn't enough, it also made me annoyed at Human Revolution's ending just by association.

It ruined the countless hours and days that i spent tweaking and replaying and more tweaking and replaying just to get it right.

It's like, if after ALL THOSE CALIBRATIONS Garrus did, the main gun just won't fire because a mouse got stuck inside and ruined it entirely.

The ending did not ruin the game for me, i got to finish the game, and it did seem weak at the time but the whole journey up to that point was great, had a little cry had a little anger happy sad all of it, the ending is going to change with some DLC they will release (wishfull thinking), but then again if they dont release any DLC i will still replay the game.

The ending is wide open for discussion and atm it just seems like a big PR stunt to me, the leaked info before release the issues with DLC and the ending all seem to be ignored and people are mad and they register on biowaresocial and they vent, take a look at all the new accounts being started and just around release of the game the forum rules changed quite dramatically.

So no i dont hate the game i loved it, did they drop the ball as some put it with the end no they would have dropped it if they made a happy happy ending with everyone hugging each other screaming we did it we WON!!!, so many dead in no time and so many families with out there loved ones, the end needed to be dramatic and result in something epic, and shepard giving up his/her life to get the reapers to go away was one of the best choices story wise.

But as the player who played shepard through all 3 games having it end like that yeah it deflated my happy ending idea, but after giving it some thought dont hate it i understand the ending having to be dramatic, but i also aggree with some people that this ending is a dream or nightmare while being influenced by reapers, and in 1 of the choices Shepard breaks free and wakes up.

I am a indoctrination nut and proud of it, but in the case i am wrong and this is the end im still okay with it but im still hopefull about it being a PR thing.

Yes. It did. I don't feel like going through any of the 3 ME stories now.

A little offtopic sorry, but obsidian made Kotor 2 not Bioware and Lucas arts published it. And as my post above pointed out i dont dislike the game due to the ending i understand it but am still hopefull it is a pr thing.

Not at all, getting there was great fun, and the  previous games are outstanding in their own rights, so I will be playing them again for sure.

Bioware was involved with the game, because they have the SW rights.  They also gave a lot of code and advise to Obsidian, to the point it was almost co-developed.  But anyway, I was just using that as a great example of a game with a ending that you watch...and sat their thinking, "Where is the rest of it?"

The big thing for me an ME3 is simply that there is no resolution for most of the political situations I stirred up, and because the narrative is so player specific I don't see how anything short of a massive DLC could give me what i want.

Now I would buy a DLC ending, but I know the fury that would cause.  :whistle:

Of course, it did. The ending IS the game.

One of the great things about Bioware games has always been their replay value...this ruins that on almost a completely atomical level. 

The answer to your question is yes, without question.

the reason it ruins the series is becasue importing other characters and their decisons wont matter to the end. no matter if u killed kaidan or ash, saved the council, let them die, killed wrex, saved him, got through the omega 4 with all 12 members or not and gave the illusive man his base or not the end will be the same. we were promised completly different endings for each person. now i know that is alot to ask for but atleast a happy ending would make people want to keep playing

Truely and honestly did that ending really ruin a amazing game which start to all the way to the ending run was amazing. In my opinion it wasn't all that terrible..Granted it was a desus ex machina but then again so was the crucbile it self if you think about it.


In ME1 and ME2, within a week I had 3-4 playthroughs. When I uploaded characters for ME2, I had 8 to choose from. For ME3 I had about the same. 

I'm apathetically moving through my 3rd playthrough now, contemplating on whether or not it's worth finishing. After this one, if I finish it, I'm probably done.

Yes, it's ruined.

Absolutely. It rendered it unplayable because I know that no matter what I do, no matter what choices I make in the game, at the end they will all be rendered moot and the galaxy will blow up.

Sadly and astoundingly enough, yes it did. I literally started laughing when the Catalyst (Starchild) explained the Reapers' purpose. It equated to: Organics creating synthetics causes chaos because synthetics will inevitably revolt and kill organics. So we make sure synthetics kill organics every fifty-thousand years to prevent organics from creating synthetics who kill organics. I'd just like the plot holes filled, variation in endings and for the decisions we've made throughout the series to determine the conclusion of the journey that we've invested time, emotion and money into. I haven't lost faith that Bioware has good writers capable of making a fitting ending to an epic game and amazing trilogy. They aren't obligated to do anything, but if they'd like to remain a successful business, directly acknowledging the issue and making an ending fixing DLC (free or otherwise) is in their best interest.

Since Shepard's final act that he/she was shoe-horned into by Wintersong--err I mean Star Child was a catastrophic act of genocide, regardless of which color ending you chose, and Shepard wound up doing the very thing he/she was trying to stop the Reapers from doing...yes I'd say it ruined it for me....it ruined the entire trilogy. Hell, if they don't plan on completely changing the ending....at least give me the option for my Shepard to decide "F that," and shoot herself in the head. She KNEW what happens when the Relays blow up, cuz she blew one up once. There is NO way she'd choose ANY of those endings. Heck my Shepard would just drop back to earth and shoot at Harbinger until she had no more bullets left. It's no less pointless than what actually happened.

I put off playing Mass Effect for a while since I didn't own an XBox and didn't want to play it on PC...but when ME2 came out, I bought the PC game and played them both and got sucked into the lore and saga that the writers completely abandoned to massage their own hubris. I now regret becoming so invested and wished I had never picked up any of the games. Go ahead and laugh at me if you will...but the story was that good initially, and the writers abandoned it  for a quick ending because they admittedly ran out of time. Maybe if they hadn't wasted all that time working on a multiplayer game at release...in a frikking RPG.

for the people who said...yes it ruined it for me...then gtfo...seriously, all you people do is just make new threads about how much the endings suck and troll threads that dont have to deal with your pathetic movement....its annoying to the players that just want to have a decent talk about how they liked the series and talk about what bioware will do next (like what will the next game be like..) but noooo all of you guys just ruin the forums when you threaten to do something then DO IT and stop talking about it...sell the game and move on and be done with it all...no need to troll your pointless rants about how you got screwed with the endings...buts its only the ending but everything else is utterly amazing...so grow up and stop complaining or just leave please.

For me, I loved the whole game/series. The thing that made me sad was that I knew I would never play shepard after this game. that was a hard pill to swallow. :(

 "ruined the game" is an understatement.

It ruined the whole damn series for me. 

BioWare created such a rich universe for things to take plase in and they killed it.

It ruined the whole series. It makes me think about how it all comes down to nothing. It makes me start thinking about how much time I could have spent doing something more productive than this, actually. It's impacted my enjoyment of ALL video games.



Yea I just felt completely drained and didn't play anything for 2 or 3 days.  After that I went back to BF3 and then poured myself into ME1 at least then I can relive the glory days of the series.

It's gotten easier with time. I wouldn't say it "ruined" the game for me, but I honestly feel if I went with my "perfect" playthrough instead of my "natural" playthrough (my first playthrough of ME2, where Tali died in the suicide mission and such) I probably wouldn't have come back for a second playthrough.

The game is still good, but the ending brings it down.

Totally ruined. You don't craft a character for 5 years and look forward to getting one of three multicolour endings dumped on them.

Haven't touched the game since my first playthrough.
