Have you played the game again since witnessing the ending for the first time?

Some people are smart enough to realize that ME3 is a good game despite its ending. The people who just discount the amazing things in rest of the game are idiots.
I discount them because the climax of the game ultimately fell flat. When that happens in any story, it tends to invalidate everthing which built up to the climax. Introducing a new character and concept out of the blue in the last 3 minutes is not the way to write a story. That's called a "deus ex machina", and is considered a literary sin.
Worse is that the writers clearly knew it since the 'starchild' is literally god from the machine. The joke isn't funny. Instead, it feels like the writer knew it was bad and decided to just rub it in our collective faces.

It sickens me. It physically sickens me.
How melodramatic, and over a video game. Have you people tried saying some of this stuff in the real world? "Sorry boss, I can't come into work today. I'm mourning Shepard. My wife needs to keep the sleeping pills away from me because I think I might kill myself over Mass Effect 3's ending."

Grunt's laugh when he goes to "sacrifice" himself and kill Rachni ALMOST makes it worth it.
Almost.

Javik: "Imagine if everyone you knew was dead. You could not remember their faces, or the color of the sky above your home. The memories were gone... but so was the pain. Would you want to remember that, Commander? Even if it meant watching everyone die again?"
Shepard: "If I had something like this... seeing earth again, whole, with everyone still alive... that would be worth the pain."
Mass Effect 3 is worth the pain. Not to discount what an amount of pain the ending is.
God I am such a hypocrite. I picked that option on my only 2 playthrus. But for that reason I cannot bear to even look at ME3.

I should clarify: I didn't stop playing because I got reminded of the ending or anything like that, just answering the title question, heheh. ME3 is DEFINITELY worth the ending, unquestionably.

The endings still ****** me off. I hate how the Catalyst invalidates ME1 completely. I hate how it comes down to Shepard limping around for 20 minutes. I hate how Shepard listens to the Reapers and picks endings a Reaper tells him to pick. I hate how there's no closure. I hate how the squadmates from ME2 might as well have died in ME2 because they have no part in the saga anymore. I hate how hollow it makes all the choices, sacrifices, and deals in the entire trilogy meaningless.

Tried to do a fem-Shep playthrough but gave up after Mars as I don't see the point anymore- haven't played ME1 or two either. Have retreated to dungeon dwelling in Skyrim.

Epic series with a stumble-and-trip ending...not my idea of a franchise 'win' if you ask me. EA/Bioware are down in my book with an epic fail of gigantic proportions. They could fix it in like 5 hours of work. They just don't want to.

Haven't touch ME3 since the ending. Decided to do another playthrough starting from ME1. Forgot about all the choices you have to make during the game. Some good times. Then like a bird seeing a shiny object I went to play around on DA:O lol. Deep down I am having a hard time replaying. I will wait to see what happens next weekend.
^ lol same here.

1 and 2 I replayed endlessly, I have replayed the ending of ME1, which I think is epic, at lest 40 or 50 times. Call me a sucker but that is how I think an epic story should end, with the hero standing up out of the rubble with his vanquished foes at his feet (something we so rarely get in real life). I know it's not for every one but that's how I roll.

In a word---Agreed
