Yes. I was promised gay romances and by god I was going to see them. Playing again just made me sad because it drove home how good the rest of the game was.

Nope.  I uninstalled the game and sent the DvD back to Amazon.com.  If the ending DLC actually comes through on our expectations, I'll buy it again.

Out of fairness I started a second playthrough with my FemShep this time (1st playthrough with Sheploo), but had to stop just before the Cerberus base mission, now it looks like I won't touch this game ever again; I want to spare poor FemShep the stupid ending. :(

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.

It's an amazing game, but the ending sours the entire experience for me. not just ME3, but the whole series.


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."

Meh, I just pretend that two and three never happened. That is, unless they fix the ending.

I forced myself to finish a second play through which I finished last night just so I could get my Shepards done that romanced Garrus and Tali. I really want to play my other characters but I just can't work up the will to play it more. The endings are so terrible they sapped my enjoyment of the game and I very happily played one of each class through ME2.

I play Multiplayer now.... its actually fun now with people to play in a squad. I haven't played the SP again since I saw the ending. I know there will be a new ending DLC,but I also know it won't be that good... but because I don't know what it exactly is, ill replay the game when the ending DLC comes out... (my friend was beta testing it last month & earlier this month, couldn't really tell me anything about it because of the NDA he signed. but I know some of the basics (non story related... mostly) I will probably replay the game in every major DLC pack, granted I hate the ending and am overall disappointed with the game. but still, old habits die hard I guess...

No, but I really haven't been able to play any game since I saw THAT that, we're calling it an ending? So disgruntled, I wish i had coding skills or the ability to draw. Start a gaming company called NerdRage games just to poke fun at BW's incompetence

I indeed have.

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

Almost.

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.

Besides MP? I today I started it up again (imported previous character so I could get full Rep and make TIM kill himself, lol) and stopped playing after Mars. Definitely gonna do an ME1-3 replay once the DLC comes out, though.

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.

I'm on my third playthrough, a New Game Plus of the second character I imported.

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.

No. I haven't been able to play any Mass Effect games since I experienced that ending. Maybe that is why I spend so much time on the forums instead, huh?

Haven't touched ME3 since I completed it,about a week ago. The ending makes all my choices throughout the previous game seem pointless.

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.

I did a redo of the last bit(cerberus and retaking earth after playing multiplayer enough to get the "best" ending(with only 15 seconds different), but since then I haven't touched the game. At this point I have spent more time on the forums than I did playing ME3. I still cant believe they butchered the story flow at the end that badly, especially that awkward midsection on earth.

Nah, no desire to load it back up and play it again. I'm holding off playing it again, in the hopes that EA will release a better ending. Don't get me wrong: I will play it again...one day. Just not in any hurry. Not after that kick in the...er, shins. The ME3 ending kinda soured me on playing it anymore; the fire has fizzled.

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.

I started a second playthrough but seem to have lost interest. I loved the game, it was awesome straight up until the last 10 minutes. I agonized over decisions, and worked to gain every asset i possibly could. This second playthrough...not so much. Kinda rushed thru, didnt see the point when all of the decisions end up with the same overall result. And then stopped somewhere after curing the genophage. Maybe once DLC starts coming out I'll get back into it. Right now I seem to be getting back into Fallout: New Vegas.

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.

Yup, I'm on my 3rd playthough, actually. And over the summer when I'm less busy with work I might replay the entire series in order.

I replayed the ending once to take the destruction option so I could see red---and boy did I ever---see red that is. Other than than have not touched it, even MP makes me think of all the time I wasted

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.
