Never been really upset, just sad and disappointed...

And guess what, I don't even blame Bioware or EA for that, I just blame today's society who turned companies into quick money grabbers. Best example for me was DA : DAO was in development for quite a few years (4-5 if I remember correctly) and proved to be a great game, then just 2 years later came out DA2 with around half the development time DAO had... You saw the result...
Same thing with ME3 where the whole Tuchanka storyline was near perfect, then you reach a kind of ending that tells you the game is probably not finished and should have been at least 6 more months in development to make any sense with the lore... But timelines call and you're screwed and have to release the game in whichever state it is...

I don't know if they'll ever do anything about it, but I'm now waiting patiently for April. After all, I'm too old to be pissed off by something like this. I don't want to blame Bioware either because I loved most of their games since BG1, and can't blame their staff for sticking behind their product, it's their job after all... In the worst case scenario, I'll just remain disappointed, move on and spend my money elsewhere...

Now, I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing my wife and daughter's reactions by the time they finally reach the ending. Knowing them, that will probably be a lot of fun ! Maybe I should start to protect screen and computer:whistle:

[SirCroft]

Let's see what they have to say in April...

[VvAndromedavV]

No, I'm definitely not mad anymore.

I wouldn't say I'm 100% into the acceptance stage; I've been kind of waffling between acceptance and depression but as each day passes I lean more toward acceptance.

I still hate the endings, and I still can't find it in myself to replay the game (something I was looking forward to before I saw the last five minutes). I don't know if that will ever change.

I don't know if I would say I was mad...frustrated, disappointed, upset, etc.
But I'll never accept that 'ending'.
If BioWare doesn't do anything about it, I would eventually except that.
It would always ring a sour yellow note though
ME3 for me is in Limbo now.

[Alexius]

Once I pull myself to play the game again, I guess I will be at that stage. Hasn't happened yet. I still think it makes no sense.

Anyways, April's just around the corner so we'll see then.

[robarcool]

There will not be an acceptance stage. Currently, there is a defensive state (when we are giving Bioware the opportunity) and then there will be the defiance stage (where it's bye bye Bioware and Mass Effect).

[Rilke21]

Accept? Never. Bioware has officially lost my business until an acceptable fix is implemented. No more TOR subscription, no more blind purchases. Never ever.

[die-yng]

No acceptance, never. Either the ending get's fixed or I'm through with BW and their games.
I'm not angry anymore, though.
Frustrated, upset... yeah maybe but it will fade away in time, even without acceptance.

[wicked_being]

Well I've gotten my drive back to play other games so I guess it's an improvement. None-BW/EA titles though.

Acceptance? Nah. I can forgive but I'll never forget.

[Ryuzetsu]

Nooope. Still hold the fury of a thousand suns, will not get over it. Bioware fixes it.... we'll see.

I'm not exactly mad anymore...just thoroughly disappointed.

That being said, if I ever "accept" the endings for what they are....may Marauder shields pop out of nowhere and shoot me where I'm standing.

[palanora]

I am just waiting to see if the april dlc will fix things ....
if it does i might get it to complete the game....
then thats the last time Bioware sees me or my money

[Emerald Rift]

I'm over the rage part but it still has left a bitter taste in my mouth. Hopefully in April we will hear some news about it.

[-D-C-D-]

I just don't care anymore. If there's nothing substantial in the PAX announcement, I thank Mass Effect for the good times, of which there were many, regret that things ended as utterly disappointingly as they did, and move on.

I don't think I'll be buying any more BioWare games after this however, no.

[Sokroc04]

Still no.

[zarnk567]

I'm more disappointed than anything.... It's the last time I hype myself or pre-order something from Bioware..... and probably just gonna buy their new games used.

[Vaktathi]

Still at the "care" stage.

I loved this franchise to death up until the last 5 minutes of ME3. I'd never bothered coming to these forums or engaging in any ME discussions until then because I had so much fun with the series that I just didn't have any issues to discuss other than how great I thought it was.

Then the ending hit and took a dump all over that feeling.


Yeah, it still sucks. I can't even go back and enjoy ME1 anymore because apparently the stupid Starchild is there the whole damn time...hiding or something, making the entire plot of ME1 suspect.

I'm not gonna lie, pre-ordering anything from BW may not happen for a long while, and if they don't seriously address this ending, I don't think I can bring myself to engage with any more BW content at all given how severe many, and my other peoples, reaction was to the ME3 ending.

As far as first world problems in my life go, it's still a raw issue

These two things...
I'm currently going through new playthroughs, very slowly, trying to savour the flow of the story: I have reached a conclusion, for all the depressing emotions the ending summons, the rest of the game leading up to it is truly worthy (at least in my opinion), so I'm not going to allow a slip up (however bad) to ruin my enjoyment of what's good about the game and the series...

Still, I'll stay tuned and see what happens at PAX...

[MetalCargo999]

Yea I can't ever do that.  I'm not even a huge gamer either.  I wasn't a fan of the Mass Effect video game, I was a fan of the Mass Effect universe, and it's been tarnished.

[EnforcerWRX7]

I'm not mad. I'm disappointed that Bioware let the ending be written in a vacuum and then tacked onto the end without any thought. I feel like I;ve wasted good money on this series and I'll never get that time or money back.

Lots of speculation for everyone! (Really?)

[ed87]

My acceptance has lead to curiosity. Curiosity over how Bioware will deal with this, and how much worse its going to get

[RebelByDesign]

The crushing disappointment is still there, and I can't stomach anything that reminds me about it. I don't think I have an acceptance stage when it comes to this.

[Delta_V2]

I've accepted that Bioware failed horribly at providing the ending this series deserved, and that I have to use headcanon to do their job for them. This has allowed me to start playing Mass Effect again. I think it has to do with the fact that I had the endings spoiled by a friend, so I knew how much they sucked going in, and this made it slightly less painful.

That doesn't mean I'm going to stop pushing Bioware to fix their mistake.

[scrapmetals]

Oh, I'm still very disappointed with the endings. I'm still holding the line.

HOWEVER.

A) I accept that the endings have, whether you believe in them or not, sparked some of the most creative theories I have ever witnessed. To see people taking all the info in all 3 games, all the clues, putting them together, it's frankly beautiful.
 I have finally come to the stage where I can play the ME series again. It took almost three weeks for me to get to this. I know my choices don't matter, I'm still bitter over that - I often make jokes about side quests in ME1: "Is this going to matter in ME3? No? Great, thanks, good to know." But... I can play them again. I can sit back and forget that ME3 is disappointing. And that's... something.
