5 minutes before this game ended, I honestly couldn't wait to replay it. Now I can't imagine replaying it ever again.....and I never imagined I would feel this way!

It is such a shame.

Well, let me put it this way, I won't be going back and replaying my life either.

So, it's safe to assume you'll never repeat any activity that gives you pleasure then?

Again. Mass Effect no longer gives me pleasure. The ending ruined that for me.

Also OP now that you know that creating this thread made no difference, would you do it again? Was writing your OP a fun journey or a waste of time, in hindsight?

Fallacious.  You don't know when you'll die.  You don't know how.  You don't know if your life will be a triumph or a tragedy.  You don't know what else will happen along the way.  Above all, though, you have hope about all of these things.  The endings remove that hope.  I posit if someone told you, with no chance of them being wrong or lying, "on November 3rd, 2019, at 3:00pm, you will die horribly never knowing what happens to any of your friends or loved ones, dooming them all to a new Dark Age and setting back world civilation thousands of years, and absolutely nothing you do or say will ever change this," you would at the very least need some serious psychiatric counseling xD.

Personally, Thane dying automatically, and knowing that all of my choices don't even do anything, really discourage.

ME1 and ME2 while I wait for Thane and Ending DLC? Hell yes.

[Reldn]

Oh, I do want to play it again with each of my characters, but, the fact that the ending ignores all of your choices and actions up to that point and renders them null and void kills any replayability for me.

This.
The ending is bad. We get it. Don't let it ruin an otherwise amazing game by dwelling on it and nothing else. This is why I regret coming to the spoiler forum, because it's ALL you guys talk about!

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!

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.

YES, I'm saying I don't want to play this again.  What's the point of curing (or not) the genophage, getting races to work together, consumating the relationship with my LI, etc when the Normandy is going to crash on Gilligans Planet regardless and all the relays are going to blow up (killing trillions).  The End invalidates not only ME3 but the entire trilogy.

No point in multiplayer as it was mainly to get up readiness.  Oh wait, that is meaningless as you'll still get the same ending.

So no I won't be playing any ME game anytime soon until Bioware mans up, owns to their mistake and does an Ending DLC fix.  I wasn't happy with DA2 and now the ME franchies has been killed for me too.

Remember people: HOLD THE LINE

That's just it!  i DO want to replay it!  I bet a lot of us do and that's why we're here!

I also had plans for multiple playthroughs, mutiple Shepards, a replay+ on Insanity, going to trying to "perfect" a ME2 replay, even, to import...

But all of it seems pointless now.  One of the fun things about a replay is seeing what might turn out different.

Now I know nothing will.  And the only real difference is "do most sidequests and get bad endings," or "ignore a lot of sidequests and get slightly worse endings."  There is zero visibility of all other choices.  I hit some bar on a scorecard, and get a binary shift in my choice at the end / addition of the color Green.  Nothing else changes, nothing else matters.

I want to enjoy playing the game again.  ALL of them.

this. If I didn't want to replay it I wouldn't even be here. I would have traded it in and moved on with my life. I want bioware to release new, different endings because I want to be able to replay the game knowing that different decisions will result in different outcomes.

I love the game, but the ending just makes it seem like a waste of time. I'll gladly play the game again once the endings have been "fixed".

[VigilancePress]

Quite simply, I don't want to go through the effort of making pointless choices, saving doomed people, or playing a character consigned to dying in utter failure. So no, I won't be playing through the story again. Not even to stop 10 minutes before the end and pretend the game just cuts to black, which would have been better... but not better enough to bring me back for a replay.

[LolaLei]

I think you're mistaken OP, most people WANT to play the game again, it's just that some of us feel like there's no point when our choices don't make a difference to the ending. In some other cases people can't bring themselves to play it again because it depresses or upsets them too much to witness the endings all over again.

People can't help how they feel and it's very insensitive to insult them just because they don't share the same opinion as you.

No, opinion.

Immaturity is the failure to accept that someones opinion could be different from yours without them having some kind of personality defect.

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.

This

This game is about the story and your choices. If no matter what you do it leads to total ruin... what's the point? Oh... and plot holes that completely pull me out of the game introduced in the last 5 minutes.

Holding the line.

Thane was always close to death. He was a tragic hero, and kicking the space-ninja's ass was a fitting end to his life. That won't, and shouldn't, change.

[Black_Diamond]

It's just every time that I play it, or ME1 or 2, I just realize that I know what the end is. A choice between colors and the same conclusion for the end of the universe. Nothing really matters (insert a song by Queen here). I don't play a game that is based on my choices for an ultimate nonsensical ending where everything pretty much dies. That's how the ending ruined it for me.

This post is legendarily ironic.

[Kidroz]

I got 100% achievment progress with one playthrough (and a little of the second just to get the level 10 weapon) I have no reason to replay it because no matter what I do the outcome is basically the same.

Instead of insulting people, I think you need to accept that the reason you play Mass Effect is very different to the reason the rest of us do. If you aren't willing to try and understand what everyone has explained fairly clearly to you then why bother posting???

[noobcannon]

i agree with the OP. aside from the endings, this might be the best game i've ever played even though it has alot of flaws when compared to other top games. what makes it so great though is the story and the endings just completely destroy it. if i wasn't on the indoctrination theory bandwagon, i just wouldn't be able to play it again, too depressing.

Don't even try comparing a video game experience ending to real life, that isn't the point we're making and you are just making silly analogies.

That's exactly what I'm saying. People often try to break down to "the journey is what matters", which is completely untrue (for myself at least). The entire experience matters. A great ending cannot hold up a terrible journey, and vice versa. If Lord of the Rings had ended with Ewoks showing up to save Frodo + cast from Sauron, I can pretty much guarantee I would never watch or read Lord of the Rings again. This is a case where the last five minutes managed to sour the entire experience.

[TheAwesomologist]

I probably will replay it, but I beat the game last wednesday and still can't bring myself to import my other Shepards. Knowing they'll all end up at the same place just kills it for me. Once I finish going through my 5 stages of grief I'll give it another shot. That said I'm enjoying multi-player even if i suck at it.
