I've beaten the game about four times now (all imports), and I think by the fourth viewing of the "ending" I've come to some conclusions.

FOR ME, it isn't worth being upset over anymore. The ending is still terrible and Bioware's writers should probably be ashamed for what they churned out and stuck on to an otherwise great game, but I'm out of the-hold-the-line-give-me-a-new-ending phase. I still want one, but I don't particuarly care one way or another if I get it anymore. That makes me a feel a little guilty, actually.

All I'm really left with at this point is curiosisty to see what they're going to do.

What about you folks? Still as angry/upset/confused/whatever?

I'm not saying being upset with this should take over your life, but it is a shame that you don't care anymore. You may start asking yourself, "Did I really ever care enough?"

Getting there. But the moment I stop being angry about it, is the moment I will no longer care for anything Mass Effect. And that sucks.

Over it? Yeah. The endings are terrible and will always stay that way. I am curious to see where Bioware is going with this and what crap awaits around the next corner though.

Well, life goes on, but the ending will always be a disappointment unless they fix it.

Nope, still hurt and still a MASSIVE fan of the universe so I can't let it go out in such an awful way.

I'm over it in the sense that I don't play the game through to conclusion.

My playthroughs end at Sanctuary. Maybe Thessia. Maybe even at the end of Rannoch.

I mean, really. After Rannoch the game just becomes a railroaded Gears of War in Space where nothing you did in the previous games matters anymore and it is one pre-determined mission after the other with no variation in their sequence.

Enough about what? The series that I've sunk hundreds of hours into?

How do you measure something like that anyway? Seems like a strange question.

I'm close, i have no expectations for PAX and I'm not going to riot if they say 'artistic integrity' blah blah blah 'vocal minority' blah blah blah. I don't trust them and because of that I don't want to give them any influence over what I feel so I'm detaching from it. I was way too invested for about a week, just not healthy for me.

It's not keeping me up at night. It never was.

I'm hanging around to see if Bioware makes this right. If not, I might be done with their games, altogether. If they do make an effort to fulfill their prerelease promises and hype, I'll be shocked and mildly impressed.

I'm not a huge gamer. I play only a few different titles per year. I collect a handful of series, and Mass Effect is by far my favorite game series, ever. I hate to see it circling the toilet bowl. I'm hopeful that Bioware feels themselves circling, and decides to do something about it.

I was never mad or angry about it, but I joined the movement to show to the developing companies that people have a bigger IQ than the average table in their living room (which, by the way, would have managed to design a better ending).

In cases such as this I just make my decisions and stick with them. If the DLC they produce is not free and doesn't give us a new ending instead of "clarifying" this one (as if this is ever possible), I won't buy another EA/BioWare game unless after extensive and thorough research on how good the game was designed.

I will probably design a Mass Effect pen-and-paper RPG at some point to play with some friends and keep the Universe alive.

It's been over three weeks for me and I still can't get past it. Although I have reached that fatalistic stage: whatever BW decides to do they will do and I will accept it. I just want them to decide so I can move on. Holding the line is just there for my own psychological well being. In the end, at least I will have the satisfaction of knowing I did everything that was possible for me to do to try and save this ME universe that I love so much.

Well, that's a stupid assumption to make.  People deal with things in different ways.  If anything, you would have made more sense by saying "it's a shame that the fiasco of an ending resulted in the series becoming 'just another game,' as opposed to the former glory of Mass Effect."  The game used to be something that I would gush about to friends or someone who mentions it in passing.  Now, I find most conversations beginning with, *sigh* "So, that ending.. huh?"

Am I over it? Sure... I'm not sitting in a corner of my living room in the fetal position rocking back and forth scratching my elbows...

Will BioWare ever get/do they deserve any of my money in the future? Lololololololololololololololol hell no...

I made my peace in the feedback thread awhile back and ever since then I've been quietly waiting to see what is going to happen. I still find myself upset about it, but I haven't went on a rampage over it.

Ok, well let me spell it out then...admitting you're over it and don't care anymore, especially before BioWare makes any announcement on what's next, removes fuel from the fire for those that would like to see things end on a better note.

No. ME3 is the equivalent of that one girlfriend who you dated for years and fell in love with and wanted to marry who suddenly cheats on you and throws it in your face. I will never be over it until she comes crawling back, begging for forgiveness and proclaiming that she was in the wrong! And even then I'd still be skeptical.

I'm still angry, but I can wait patiently until that anger can be useful, depending on the PAX board

The pain of the bad writing is fading, but I still feel depressed that the ME universe has effectively ended. Prolly one of the best sci-fi settings out there, and from here on out we can only get prequels that take place during a 30-year span.

I was never upset or angry or part of the retake movement nor do I demand an ending that makes sense. I'm just disappointed that a series/universe with so much potential was wasted and brought to such a ridiculous end.

BioWare wanted it to end like that and I'm okay with it.

And so the movement ends, not with a cataclysmic bang but with a soft drone of acceptance.

Sad really.
