 Personally, I realized that the ending was as bad as the headlines implied. I then turned around and tried to shoot star kid in the face. 

I had several reactions:

1. WTF?!
2. *Empties her gun impotently into Wintersun's face*
3. Picked Saren's green ending, cuz all of them sucked and invalidated everything Shepard sacrificed for and I no longer had the energy to do anything other than plod straight ahead.
4. They lied--those bastards!
5. Forums.

I said : Oh not again Bioware WTF

[Delpinolikespotatoes]

What's this bull****? I'm going to destroy everything! I don't believe you! *Destruction option*

Then saw the ending and I was like... WTF IS THIS ****? Well, at least... Tali is alive... Even though she was with me in the charge...

Let's try another ending and see what changes...

WHAT THE **** IS THIS?!

[chimpdaddy121]

i thought

"wow what a fantastic artistic expression of the inner struggles within shepard and the post modern destruction"

actually i didnt think anything, it didnt really sink in until a day later of how in invalidated everything.

my brain stopped working after he told me about blue and red. Then he said : "but there's an other solution [...]" so I just told myself well the third option can't be worst then the two other so I stopped listening to the star gold child and just ran straight forward. Then I saw the ending and I was Oh god it was that bad. I tried the two other (thinking that maybe I did a bad choice ) I saw that they were all exactly the same so I cry to sleep and eventually went to the forum

[Heather Cline]

Hated it. Was just enraged and then depressed. The entire game sucked after that. I found other plot holes and other problems with the game after viewing it.

Finished it march 7th (yeh yeh no life blabla. I took a holliday to do it!). I thaught wtf, then why the hell is liara there. Whats joker doing? Then i started a second playthourgh and did multiplayer to get max possible war assets (finished the 8th). Then i went ohhh, im alive, more to come. Then i went back to WTF. And i came here.

[ZombieJohn84]

My first thought when the Kid stopped talking was, "Huh?"

I then strolled over to the red side and shot stuff up.

When I saw Joker, Anderson and Liara, I thought, "Why did they show Liara? She hasn't been my LI since ME1? Why not Joker, Garrus and Tali?"

At this point I was just confused and still processing.

Things really dumped when I saw that shot of Joker trying to escape the blast. This was when I thought, "Oh my God, I've done something wrong and killed my crew!" Seriously, when I saw Joker's panicked face just before the cut, I literally felt sick at my stomach. What had I done? Seriously, how did I **** up this badly?

Then they... survived that blast. "Okay..." Then Tali walked out and I thought, "Oh thank God!" But this was followed by more confusion and "Huh?"

When I heard "The Shepard," I cringed. I thought that was out and out stupid.

The sales pitch didn't even register with me the first time I saw it. I didn't realise the game had reset me to before Horizon. I just thought my character was in some kind of purgatory where no one in my crew would talk to me. Even Tali would simply say, "Later, Shepard."

Later, Shepard? Tali?

That was the first time I thought, "Man, **** this game."

Hours later, upon reflection (and realising there was only one ending) I began to see plot holes and the all out lack of closure and choice. I began to think, "Why did I build up everything? Why did I go get that thermal pipe for my engineer? Why did I do ANYTHING?"

It really ruined my weekend. I was in a foul mood for about 3-4 days. In the end, it pissed me off because there was no call for that kind of ending. I'm all for ambiguous endings, sad endings, all that stuff. I loved "No Country For Old Men." But this, to me, felt like the developers were sitting around the table saying, "You know, these guys love these characters we've created. How would it be if we just destroyed everything? How DEVASTATING would that be?!" Well, it was a lot more devastating than you realised.

Any time I get to feeling bad for all the bad PR Bioware's getting out of this, I think back to that weekend and say, "Oh yeah, they drew first blood."

[Deavent]

I felt hollow, as the alternatives were presented to me. Didn't know what to do, since everything was so ambiguous. I reeeeally wanted to destroy the reapers, but as many others I couldn't just sit around watching EDI and the Geth perish. Especially since my Shepard has been a spokesperson for synthetic life since the first game.

So before choosing, I actually went online to find some spoilerfree information regarding which ending was the "happiest". So, I decided to go green, preserving all life I could. Sure, far from optimal, but at least I didn't have to follow the Illusive Man, and I didn't have to kill off Joker's girlfriend and all my Geth buddies.


Though the ending sucked anyway. I didn't get a single happy event, except for Joker and EDI holding eachother. Liara walked off the ship after them, aimlessly. What happened to her future husband and their blue children!? Ever since I've been feeling empty, wanting more closure.


Ever since, I've been reading about the indoctrination theory, and doing some research in that area as well. And I must say, no matter if they planned this all along, or if it's a coincidence, BioWare has a lot to go from with that theory. Having players who chose the destruction ending wake up, beating the Reapers' mind games, to finish the fight.

Quite literally I thought what the f**k! Then turned around and tried shooting the godchild for a while and when that failed tried the endings starting with Destroy only to see a different coloured explosion and my LI stranded on an alien world.
At this point I gave up on the singleplayer part of the game and started playing multiplayer and hoping for an ending fix of some kind.

[Zalera1]

Killed the starchild and quit the game. Didn't pick any option.

[CRISIS1717]

I was like "wait... what? I want to know hear it all again to make sure". I then just limped over to the beam and Shep jumped in. I was disappointed by how confusing it was, how little it made sense and how little epilogue there was.

I was leery of Priority: Earth from the get-go. You get on the ground and all you come across are Alliance forces for the most part (w/ a smattering of Krogan listening to Wrex). I was really expecting a more dynamic interaction between my squad & the rest of the forces that I had just spent 30 hours gathering together. Where are my Geth legions? Why am I not dishing out the hurt w/ everyone's favorite Quarian commando, Kal'Reegar? Why aren't the swarms of Reaper forces being counter swarmed by an even larger Rachni brood? Where is everybody?

So, by the time I even got to the Citadel I was already fairly saturated in pessimism. The surreal quality of the entire end sequence made me believe that the whole experience had merely been a subconscious construct brought on by the massive trauma afflicted upon BroShep by Harbinger's beam. I honestly expected him to wake up after my having finally chosen the bizarre Joshua Tree synergy ending..... oooooooh man, look at the pretty coooolors.

My suspension of disbelief was utterly annihilated by a combo-breaker of epically horrible proportions.

[Vajraja]

Simply WTF, because all of the choices sucked and didn't make any sense at that moment. (even less so now)

[FyreSyder]

My gut reaction was to turn around and walk backward thinking there was a way out of it. Seriously that's what I did.

[Bunzmaster]

I was pretty stunned.

At first I walked towards the blue side thinking it was the Destroy one....until I got close to it and noticed it was the control option.
I tried to go back but I got a "the Citadel has been destroyed" failed game message.

On my 2nd try I did the Destroy ending. Felt really really let down....and while the credits rolled I was on my computer looking thru these forums to see if maybe I got a really bad ending or something.


Turns out we all got a really bad ending.

[heathxxx]

Gut reaction?

R/G/B... hmmm, that's three... where's the other thirteen "endings" then?

[PeaceMack]

When I got to the reaper-kid, I thought I had done something wrong and gotten the bad ending.

Then, I was pretty incensed with BioWare.

Then, I came to the forums to create a new account, but it turns out that I already had an account that I had forgotten about.

Then, I donated my DLC budget to Child's Play; and while I haven't really been, "holding the line", I've kind of been wandering around it bumping in to things.

[Denaris_Sirrimith]

As soon as that little elevator platform thing lifted Shepard up I was like, oh no, don't even do it game.. Then it did and I sighed. Picked destroy since the whole series was based around destroying the Reapers. Felt like you were giving up with the other two options. Hell control and synthesis seemed to be against everything Shepard stood for.
