Yes. It takes away from the whole spirit of the games. All your work and decisions meant nothing. It made me feel like I was a joke. I feel like they made a list of what fans loved about the series and mocked it. Nobody should be disrespected for loving something so well crafted. Bioware should be proud of creating a universe that people truly love. The whole thing was so alive. I have never cared so much for a universe. Even being a huge Star Wars fan, I felt more playing Mass Effect.

I do hope this gets fixed and they don't abandon it. I can't see myself ever playing it again at this point.

[Tony Redgrave]

For me personally, yes the endings ruined the entire trilogy.

The endings are a franchise killer and they are in my favorite game series of all time. Again, thats me personally.

[Iyerbeth]

It was sufficiently bad that it's not only the only ME game I haven't played more than once, my other playthroughs haven't even been imported and the final renegade playthrough I was working on while waiting has just been left unfinished. I literally don't see the point, as I'm not going to experience anything else in the end now, beside a different coloured light. It's just impossible to give a crap about the decisions I'd be making knowing they literally make no difference at all to anything.

After taking some time to think about it, no.

yes, it cheapened the game. i just played through a second time and got the "breathe" scene of an apparently alive shepard, and if this was included right off the bat, and not an easter egg, i dont kow if there would have been the backlash tbh. even though there heaps of plotholes (which is unforgivable bioware) even with an alive shep, what about the normandy stranded in another solar system ans no gates???? absolute complete and utter b*******

I think there would have been backlash even if this was the case. Remember, the game itself states that the destroy ending wipes out all synthetics.

That means that shepard, if he's the type who saved the Geth and befriended EDI can only survive by comitting genocide.

I suspect that quite a few ME players wouldn't feel right making that decision.

And as you mention, there's still all the rest of the nonsense with the implied civilization ending outcome either way.

[TotalLamer]

The whole game? No.

The entire series.

[Impulse and Compulse]

It ruined the entire trilogy. I was looking forward to seeing how one of my favorite series' of all time would finish and continue, but instead Bioware committed franchise suicide.

[SavageLycan]

The endings ruined the game, the trilogy, and the entire Mass Effect lore for me; which is painful because the Mass Effect series was easily my favorite game series of all time. I can only enjoy it now by finding a way around those endings in my head, otherwise it just brings me down. I don't think I can buy any more Mass Effect games from now on if they're all going to be before ME3 or during it. What's the point? No matter what you do, the galaxy will always be doomed to a dark age of massive proportions. It's sapped my will to fight for the fate of the galaxy.

This.

The entire game was 10/10 imo, then came the ending..

[Coolfaec]

Ruined the entire series.

I still love Mass Effect, I always will. But I can't play it anymore, the entire thing was soiled in 10 minutes. Great game, horrible end.

[Dragonfable of Dain]

You know when I first heard about the ending I believed that there was no way it could ruin a game series like this.

..... Boy was I wrong.

I physically have not been able to start a new game in campaign and have been just playing the multiplayer since I completed my initial playthrough.

[Huskeonkel]

Unfortunately, yes

I just have very little desire to play the series again, due to thinking... "what's the point".

[T-0pel]

It did for me and unless they add at least some sort of epilogue, I am not going to replay it any time soon.

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.

Not only the game. The whole series.

[Somath Cegem]

Yep.

Lt.Boom wrote...

So did it honestly ruin the game for you?

Yes.

[mnewell83]

Yes, in the sense that everything I did leading up to it was seemingly for nought. The series was fantastic. I loved every bit of it, until the end. I felt cheated. I felt nothing I had done mattered. Did it ruin ME1 and ME2 for me as good games? No, but it ruined the overall story, which affects the entire series for me and leaves me with little to no desire to play any of them, despite the first two being good.

ruined all 3 games actually as I know in the end my actions make little to no difference in actuality

[Kaiazes]

BEWARE! Wall o’ text.

For me, there’s one problem with the Mass Effect 3 ending(s)
that really overrides the rest. Don’t get me wrong; the head-scratch logic, the
lack of closure, and the demystifications are all major problems. But they’re
not what really bothers me. As I sat there, staring at the endings, a rather
troubling thought occurred to me. No matter which of the three options I
picked, every conclusion was worse than the GAME OVER screen.

 

 No matter how
incorrect the Reaper’s logic is, they DID preserve the cultures they harvested,
even if that preservation is the most twisted imaginable. But in the absolute
BEST CASE SCENARIO, my actions as a player will cause essentially all galactic
civilization (and the civilization of that species, for that matter) to
collapse. Not only that, but by destroying the most crucial piece of
technology, I’m crippling the next cycle’s progress. Which leads me to…

 

Isn’t it about the journey?

 

I’ve seen this argument made a couple of times. People ask,
“even if the ending is bleak, isn’t the journey what matters?” The problem is,
due to the point mentioned above, the journey isn’t the same. In fact, every
single victory I had while playing Commander Shepard is actually turned against
me. Galactic civilization would have been better off had I never picked up the
controller. The “game over” screen is a huge victory for the universe as a
whole. This ending makes it so the only winning move is not to play.

 

THAT is why the endings have ruined every game for me. How
can I replay the series, knowing that my actions eventually enable genocide? To
be honest, I expected Shepard (and a large portion of my favorite characters)
to die. I expected a bittersweet ending. But the endings as they stand now are
anything but. Shepard dies for a cause that is completely counter to the
purpose of the game, renegade or paragon.

 

So… Yes.

 Yes

[Zyrious]

Let me put it this why - While it didnt necessarily devalue the joy i had before reaching the ending, it killed ALL replayability. As replayability IS an actual score-factor in most reviews, it would be low enough that it could take down a full review an entire point or two. With the endings as is, there is no desire to playthrough again.

Whereas with a game such as...DA:O..well i dont know many who didnt play that game any less than 5 times. Even my wife played it several times through. RPG's need to be treated differently than, say, an FPS game. Replayability is a huge part of RPG's. The ending really sours it imo.

[slimshedim]

Yes, the ending ruined the series for me for all times.

[GimmeDaGun]

The game itself? - No.

The story, the saga, the legacy, the universe and all I love about it? - YES!!

... so, yes it ruined the game for me, because I mostly play it for the story, characters etc... and not so much for the gameplay.

It won't change the fact that the rest of the game is pure magic... only the ending is a big slap on the face that makes you wake up, and ruins the whole journey for you (me in this case).

 Not only did the ending ruin ME3 for me, but it retroactively ruined ME1 and ME2....

I tried to load up ME1 last night to do a casual play-through and I can't bring myself to do it.  Not only do I have to drive the stupid Mako, but I know that my time driving it ultimately means nothing in the end


Seriously though, yeah; it runed the entire ME franchise for me.  I guess it's back to Assassin's Creed where they've effectively kept me chomping at the bit to find out how it all ends for Desmond.


Here's hoping DA3 isn't a let down.  (For the record, I though DA2 was an inferior game to DA1, but the story telling and character development was superb and overshadowed the rocks in front of the doors and the 12 playing areas for all 4 acts.)  I will wait for some youtube content and trust-worthy reviews weeks after the release of any bioware titles now though.
