Nope, won't play it again. Let's be honest, the gameplay is not very good compared to other action games. The main reason to play Mass Effect has always been its great story and the decisions you make along the way. Now that the story is ruined and it turns out that none of your decisions matter in the slightest there is no reason to play the game a second time.

Place your views on the conclusion aside for just one moment—are you really saying you don't want to experience this wonderful piece of entertainment again? Don't you think it's a bit hysterical to say you're entire enjoyment of the series has been broken beyond repair because of an ending, which I feel isn't as bad as many of you believe?
What difference is there between that mentality (oh my god I wanna die this game ruined my life wah wah wah) & the sort of sh*t we hear whenever a popstar like Beiber cancels a gig? Most of you would sneer at the notion of Beliebers, but judging from the responses on here, you're no better than them. Some of you are worse!

Honestly, probably because of the ending, all actions leading to the same event kinda kills replay value for me.
Although if they released a good / variable ending DLC, patch, etc. I'd probably replay the heck out of it.

For instance, I can't think of a single video gaming moment that moved me as much as when I re-united the Geth & Quarians. Which was made all the more enjoyable because of my character's emotional attachment to Tali. You betcha I'm going to experience that again.
Granted, the dialogue is at times cheesy & over-the-top, but isn't that what we enjoy about this sort of adventure? This is a romance saga set in space. Simples.
I think we're damn lucky to have a game like this on the shelves. & I'm sure whatever Bioware chooses to do with extra content will add additional pleasure to the experience.

Why bother. Even if I made every choice the opposite of my first playthrough, I'd still get 3 color-coded endings.

Just like ME1 and Mass Effect 2; all choices were different leading up to the ending. The endings in the games were never changed or dictated by player choice; otherwise I would have kept collector base for myself, never quit Cerberus and I would have thrown Jacob out the airlock because I wanted it to be my 'choice'. Do you guys not see the flaws in this line of reaoning?
If in your game you get ultra-good ending (relays intact, everyone lives on beach etc.) then what if in my game relays were destroyed etc. Explain to me how Bioware can continue a series with no continuity. You guys ask the inpossible...
And my choices did matter; all the way throughout the game. I'm glad my decision to bed Liara AND the reporter didn't have an effect on my ending....

I've said this elsewhere, but I really think the endings undercut the logic of all the choices you made throughout the series to that point in a way that's really twisted.
For example, Tali's situation. You can side with the Quarians (or broker peace between them and the Geth) and Tali gets to see her homeworld again with hope that her people can return to it once more. It's the realization of a generations-long dream. But the destruction of the Mass Relays at the end of ME3 means that the quarians are once again stranded on ships, generations away from ever setting foot on their homeworld again (even with FTL travel). This also assumes that they don't die slow and painful deaths due to supply shortages or get overrun by the Turians since their lifeships are the only source of dextro food in the Sol system.
It's like giving a kid a dog and then making the kid watch you shoot it.
So knowing how the series is going to end, you could argue that it's crueler to the Quarians to give them false hope about returning to their home world than it would be to just let the geth wipe them out and give them quick, far less painful deaths with no false hope to be crushed.
The same kind of logic applies to curing the genophage and basically any other major decision you can make in the game. The more allies you recruit, the more people are stranded in the Sol system, likely to die a slow and painful death.
If that doesn't kill replay value, I don't know what will.

Really? The choices your Shephard made lead you to believe he was a social-darwinist ****** who would leap at the possibility of cutting a deal with the reapers and sacrificing billions of souls for a slightly less ruined galaxy?
Cause that doesn't sound like my Shephard.
