ruined.
So did it honestly ruin the game for you?

The developers stated that they did not want Mass Effect to be forgotten about, for the series to be remembered.
I think it’s safe to say that in 5 years from now we will all remember Mass Effect and we will all remember how it ended. No matter how truly fantastic the series was, hitting amazing reviews in the press and making a universe and characters that we all loved to see more of, the ending of Mass Effect will be what we remember.
And it is not a happy memory, not with the 'RGB Ending'.

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.
And PLEASE, after reading all the comments on your post, tell us what you think, if your opinion has changed or not.
Or, how does it feel to be in the minority?
This sort of rhetoric is not helpful. It's not this guy's fault that the ending sucked. Redirect that anger, soldier. I think OP got his answer with 5 pages of "game's ruined", didn't need the snark on top of it.

Ruin the whole game? Nah. The rest of the game is fun. I just gradually feel brain cells die when I get to the ending.

It ruined all replayability for me.
MP is still fun and success (even though they keep trying to screw the players).
The Ending of ME3 just makes the entire series a waste of time since all roads lead to the same (3 slightly different) ending.

I honestly do not get what is wrong with the ending, seriously can somebody explain?
This was meant to be the last ME game, they always said it was going to be a trilogy, and yes it does not have the "hollywood" happy ending because it has a point to make, if you do not get it, then you should go back and try understand it a little more... besides the 30 sec clip a the end of the credits, pretty much makes you understand that at some point in the future, things will get back the way they were with space travel and all.
If they ever plan on continuing the ME universe, they can do it by using completely new, fresh elements and races thanks to the fact that probably thousands of years have passed, so that they do not repeat themselves by basing a sequel with the same places over and over again, and ending up with a bland "milking" franchise (I am looking at you Assassin's creed 2...).
And even if there was a "happy ending", there would be little to base the stories on, at least very little to make it this epic... (Seriously, something more threatening than the reapers?) not to mention that most races are half exinct and it woudl take several thousands years anyways to get back to where ME begun..

It really did, it like have 99% of your day go perfectly and the last 1% you are stabbed and kicked in the crotch and left out onto the street in pain.
99% may have been amazing, but im pretty sure when you look back on that day you will only remember the last 1%

No, it was not meant to be the last ME game. It was meant to be the last Shepard game.
Even if they rebuild it, it will never be the same as the world we fell in love with. It will be a perpetual sore spot that will keep people from getting as attached to the new version.

That's a strong possibility of course, but it doesn't explain why Harbinger lands at the Conduit, shoots Shepard, then flies off without taking him away for indoctrination. That would be the perfect time, wouldn't it? Especially with a huge army on the door step. I think Harbinger has another reason to be so focused on Shepard, and the ending gives a big hint at what this is.
Indoctrination is in the mind... a Reaper doesn't have to physically hold somebody or keep them in their possession. It's a link. It's the easiest to create a link on someone who is full of adrenaline and on death's doorstep.
What are you saying is the other potential reason though? I know some people think Shepard is the Catalyst.

Initially, yes. It killed my desire to do anything, game-related or not, for a couple days while my mind tried to find a way to make the end fit.
But once I quantified my issues with the ending, created my own personal 'headcanon' ending (and purged the given ending from my mind), I'm happily chugging my way through my fifth playthrough.

You are looking at the ending too simplistically.
Read this article:
http://www.gamefront...ns-are-right/2/
The ending is poorly written. Plot holes, lore errors. It's illogical and incoherent. Some might mistake these endings as being good, because it's a typical hero plot (the hero sacraficing their life for the greater good). It might seem appropriate because it's tragic.
But then you really think about why none of it actually makes sense, and how Shepard's sacrafice is completely undermined.

No, it was not meant to be the last ME game. It was meant to be the last Shepard game.
They said, they were doing a ME trilogy, I do not recal them ever saying "Sheperd Trilogy".

Yes. It made nullified my playing, ignored the themes and spit on the concept of an RPG.

Then you recall wrong.
Even if they rebuild the galaxy 1000 years from now, it will never be the same as the world we fell in love with. It will be a perpetual sore spot that will keep people from getting as attached to the new version.
Not that they will. They already said any future ME games would be prequels, and thereby ultimately just as futile as the current ones because of that ending.

If anyone here has played Gears of War 3, remember the last conversation between Anya and Marcus? Yeah, pretty much that.
So all-in-all, no. It didn't "ruin" the series. But tainted it? Soured it? Yeah. I can't think of Mass Effect without knowing the outcome, and that outcome makes my stomach tie in knots.
"Tomorrow, Marcus. We finally got a Tomorrow."
Actually, a sentence like that would have helped.
