You'll die at the end of your life. May as well kill yourself now, because there is no way you can enjoy life knowing what awaits you. See the problem with this logic?

A horrible analogy, not only because of the ridicilous comparison, but also because none of us know how our lives will end - I'm betting mine will end with red.

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!

If I knew I was going to die in a fiery car crash in 3 years no matter what I did I probably wouldn't care so much about long-term health upkeep. I'd eat more junk food and fewer apples and probably try some insane stunts and forsake the gym because.  The logic works both ways. If you know the relays are going to be destroyed and the galatic civilization as we've come to know it will essientially cease to exist then curing the genophage, getting the Quarians back to Rannoch, suddenly lack any long-term consequences/gains and lose their importance.

It's simple because you don't get how the "satisfying" conclusion to the trilogy ruined it.  A mere 10 mins or so of a long winded cutscene just trivialized every thing you accomplished in the series.  This alone makes it NOT an amazing game as you put it. 

An ending to a trilogy is the most important ending.  It not only has to bring closure to the 3rd installment story line, but to an entire series.  The end of ME3 failed on both these points.

I do want to experience it again, with multiple Shepards.

But then when I start up the game, I remember the ending, then rage, then tell myself it's not worth my time until I get a definitive answer from Bioware as to whether or not they will eventually change the ending. Because if they do, I'm replaying all of my Shepards again to cleanse my memory of the original abomination.

I will replay ME3. One day. That day isn't any time soon, though.

Pretty much this.

I started a second playthrough, got excited again, then remembered what it all leads to and just couldn't make myself want to keep playing.
I really want to want to play the game again, I enjoyed 3 much more than 2, maybe even more than 1 (maybe), but the ending just kills any motivation I have to replay it.

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.

Immaturity. 

This post is legendarily ironic.

What? Pointing out that the idea an ending can undermine 50-60s of near flawless experience is immature, is automatically in itself immature? Good one.

[Fame-KIllz]

I've read through the thread and ,although I've not insulted anyone on this forum thus far, I must say that the OP is an idiot.

If you don't like it, you don't have to read it, you know.

BUT SOMEONE ON THE ITNERNET HAS AN OPINION THAT DIFFERS FROM MY OWN!!!!
SURELY IT IS MY DUTY TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS TO MY SUPERIOR OPINION!??!?!

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. After having all my save files ruined on my xbox and getting a playstation and playing through two, I still planned on getting all the PC ME games. Now why bother?

The ending wasn't the only thing I had a problem with. Most of the dialog choices are already made for you, they took a step back from rpg, the questing is pretty bad, they kinda screwed over all ME2 squadmates IMO, the squadmates in ME3 are lacking, they sell back all the stuff you bought from ME2, the armour is pritty much the same, all the looting they could of done, dumbed down like the rest of the game, I'd say the only things I really like about the game is the mechanics and the story up until the end. The ending just over shadows all the smaller issues.

That said I'm on my second play through, still plan on doing an NG+ on insanity and some other imports because of what they might do for the ending. Although playing through now is a task.

You seem incapable of empathizing with a point of view other than your own to such a degree that you curse at it.  Doesn't say anything great about your maturity.

[BadgerladDK]

 The rest of the game *is* great, and I'd love to replay it. When the ending is fixed, because getting to this bloody mess of a destination makes the trip not worth taking.

You know you'll die, that's all that matters. & my point has to do with how you occupy the time until that occurs. 

[Paragon Auducan]

If you knew your life didn't matter and there was a magic button to redo it all but you will still end up the exact same way.

Would you really push that button?

I plan on it, I want to go through ME2 one more time, and then I will begin my second journey.

As someone who struggles with depression I had a long response to this typed up and then decided, why bother?  There is no reason to throw fuel on the fire.  Just know, that I don't like to rewatch movies that have endings I don't like and feel the same about video games.

[MissOuJ]

I plan to replay it many times over. Just... not right now. The final portion of the game in general is such as massive downer (as in from Thessia onwards) that leaves me feeling so ridiculously sad I feel I have to wait a bit before I can start a new playthrough. Particularly since most of my ME2 Sheps romanced Thane...

Multiplayer is enough in the meantime.

I'm trying to replay the game. It's tough, because everytime I experience one of those amazing Mass Effect victories, such as curing he genophage or finally ending the Mourning War, I remember that it all means nothing.

I've decided to stop my game before ascending the magic platform to heaven and simply await DLC endings. I'm preparing my favorite Shepard for that eventuality, nothing more.

Obvious Bioware shill is obvious

[Nu-Nu]

Uniting the geth and quarians, helping the krogans and your comrades should have mattered at the end, otherwise all of that was just one big side plot/quest that bears no weight on the main story. Mass effect series now just feel like one big sidequest, not a proper full story.

[Mr Indivisible]

The ending nullifies all my actions, I don't care if ME4 tries to make up for it.

No, opinion.

Stop trolling and add to the discussion.  Single-word insult posts should frankly get you warned and your posts deleted.  if, however, you wish to share your enjoyment of the game mechanics - which i think have been just about perfected in this iteration - please do so.  Politely and respectfully.

Yeah I can't bring myself to fire up ME3 or even the mulitplayer.  I think about the multiplayer map and think "oh wait this is gonna go boom when the nearby relay does".  The ending makes everything seem pointless, especially future DLC.

Whether or not I replay ME3, or any game in the series is up to Bioware now.

I didn't compare playing the game to living & dying you complete & utter cretin, I was pointing out the flaw in her logic. There was no value judgment built into the comparison. 

You people are dumb as f*ck.

I'd believe IGN or G4 first, going by join date and ME3 being his only registered game.  Honestly, I don't think anyone at Bioware would be this ridiculous.
