Haven't played it since the second day after release. I'm waiting to hear what Bioware's plannning to do, hopefully at PAX.

How far did you get? And did you YouTube the endings?

Sidenote: if I ever do get around to playing it again, it'll be simply to unlock some of the achievements I still have remaining. It will have zero to do with my desire to actually play it again, and everything to do with my obsession with earning every possible achievement I can from the games I play.

As it stands there is no point to replaying the campaign. The whole reason you replay choice based single player campaigns is to witness the outcome of your decisions. All decisions are invalidated at the t minus 5 minute mark, so why bother?

 I would play through again, if not for the random black-screen bug that makes the entire game unplayable...

Wow. I thought that was the sort of thing that only happens to PCs. What's the point of crappy fixed hardware if it doesn't make the game bug-free?

Hmm... by that logic there's no reason to replay KotOR, since all your games go to either the LS or DS ending regardless of what you did or didn't do during the course of the game. ME1's the same, come to think of it. And BG2. Actually, most Bio games ever have ended like this.

Sorry, should have clarified. I did beat it, but figured with the announcement that there will be changes/clarification, I'd give it some time to settle. I also got alot of games backed up that I put on hold (Fallout: NV first time, replaying the Assassin's Creed series).

I play games kinda throughout, I clocked around 60 hours and probably got almost everything there is/ was to see (which was mostly enjoyable), the variations for a more renegade, second playthrough wouldn't really do it for me, tho. I just can't stand doing something over again with little to no difference.

I disagree with you. Mass Effect is a story, not a "choice based single player campaign". It can be enjoyed in many ways. I'm playing it for the fifth time right now. I enjoy the art, characterisation, and all the epic and intimate moments, like fighting the Reaper or seeing Shep/Liara's relationship grow. 

And, if I may...we could also say your life is a choice based single player campaign with no replay, and all your decisions are invalidated at the t-minus zero mark. So...why bother? 'Cause it's about the journey, not the ending.

Wow -- you must have really put in some serious hours to beat it that fast. That's why I thought you might have just YouTubed the endings.

Dumb as it might sound, replay value has never really been a problem for me. Sure, it's great when the game provides alternate pathways to the same goal, but even when there's only one approach to take, if the game itself is fun, I'll replay it a bunch of times, much like rereading a book or rewatching a movie.

[BeefoTheBold]

With the current endings, what would be the point?

It would be like taking a road trip in order to intentionally drive off of a cliff.

The first time can be excusable. You don't see the cliff coming.

Doing it a second time after you drove off the cliff the first time? Why?

Haha yeah, I have a very addictive personality when it comes to anything I enjoy doing, be it games, movies, food, whatever. On the bright side, it also works for more serious things (on occasion), like if I want to start exercising or really want to do well in a course I'm taking. I just don't know the meaning of moderation, bad as that is.

[PrinceLionheart]

I played a second time just for the insanity achievement. Honestly, given how it ends, the only reason i would play again is for the gameplay.

[jbajcar]

Can't get myself to do it right now.

[ToJKa1]

I've lost count. And am about to start again. Mostly for trying different weapons and tactics. Black Widow and Saber with piercing mods were a huge success last time

And like Dragon Age 2, the endings aren't nearly as bad as this place would have you believe

I like how even those who defend the game, the best they can say is the endings "aren't nearly as bad".  As opposed to, you know, liking the endings.

Ps. Not picking on you.  Just quoting your comment because I've seen a lot of those who "defend" ME3 still not even say the endings were good, just that they're not "nearly as bad" as they're made out to be.

I liked the endings. THERE!

[Ylhaym]

Finished it twice (normal and NG+). If not for the face import bug, i would've already started my femshep playthrough.

This. But even though I like the ending, it is disappointing enough to take away my motivation of doing a fresh playthrough of the entire series. Can't wait to start another ME3 playthrough though.

Because everyone agrees that the ending could've been better. I liked the ending, but that doesn't mean it does not have room for improvements. I can't think of why many in this community think that there's only 2 opinions about the ending.  For some people its just "It sucks!" or "Its very good!"... Can't people have an opinion that is somewhere in between? 

My opinion is...
Do I like the ending? Yes
Is the ending disappointing? Yes
Does the ending make sense? Yes (but not all of it)
Does the ending sucks? No...

So yeah... 
they're not "nearly as bad" as they're made out to be...

Played through it at least 6-7 times by now. Yeah, the ending sucks, but it's only... what, the last 5 minutes? The rest of the game is awesome.

[Candoo]

In 1 & 2, if your game didn't go well for you at the end, at least you had the opportunity to play through again to improve on it. With ME3, there is no opportunity to improve on your ending, no matter how hard you try. This gives little to no motivation to spend my time making another attempt. There is NO GOAL or NO REWARD to look forward to.

[Aquilas]

I play four character classes: Adept, Infiltrator, Soldier, and Vanguard. So I'm playing through once for each of those classes just to see the gameplay action. I've picked toons that have different LIs and surviving squad mates; I experimented with killing off team members in ME2 to see how that'd play out in ME3.

Basically, I'm replaying for every reason other than seeing the story arcs conclude. Because, given the ending, I just don't give a damn about the story. At all. When I finish these playthroughs, I'm done with Mass Effect and BioWare for good.

I'm not saying they aren't bad, just that they arent that bad Again, like Dragon Age 2

[filetemo]

Not playing again until ending DLC.
