The more you play through it, the worse it gets. It doesn't even age well.

This is correct.  It gets worse.

This ending is the worst ending in the history of endings since humans first learned to tell stories and will always be so.

This.

[CJMissen]

No, news of EC didn't change that, I remain incredibly skeptical considering how BW is handling all this... its not giving me confidence.

[Son-Gohan]

No, the ending is still crap. Such a fantastic game deserves a better, well-written ending in which our choices as players matter, just as it was promised before the release.

[Cobra's_back]

Personally, I really want to see the ending DLC. I still have a lot of questions.

[Dartack]

No change here, hate it. Hate it more as time goes by.

[Ilysail]

I still hate the endings, but I'm a lot less bitter about them. my faith in the extended cut is growing though...
Mass Effect remains a IP I want to throw money at, I just hate myself a lot more afterwards. <_<

I agree that upon further reflection, and a second playthrough, that what was presented fails to hold up against the established lore & canon of the franchise. The damning thing though, is the level to which the key individuals have steadfastly held to the pose of artistic integrity - rather than honoring their own prerelease promises and direct statements. The sad fact is that these same people may not have been able to follow through with what they said they would provide or planned to in Mass Effect 3, for a variety of reasons that make elegant sense, but dodging that explanation (which might not be any of our business) certainly helped muddy the waters.

I'm OK with the ending now, because I have medication!

No, I've just come to terms with it in anticipation of the extended cut DLC.

[ScaperDeage]

Still hate the endings. There was a brief moment when I liked them because I thought the Indoctrination theory was true, but now it just seems like Bioware was just lazy and I don't think any clarification will fix the ending as it is.

I'm also becoming less and less pleased with the rest of the game. I tried replaying it, but that only reminded me of how mediocre the beginning of the game was. It is said that we remember our first and last impressions best and ME3 has left me remembering it as bland and terrible.

[MustacheManatee]

Played through twice, and picked destroy the first time, and control the second time. I refuse to EVER pick synthesis, as it is a horrible and lazy idea. Still love the game, but that ending is just terrible.

[teh DRUMPf!!]

The endings have grown on me a little bit.

So now I've gone from "meh" to "eh."

[goose2989]

Still heartbroken

This question is addressed to pro-enders and anti-enders alike. Has your opinion of the ending changed significantly since your initial playthrough? Did you hate it at first, but grew to like it? Or did you enjoy it at first, but realized later something was off? If so, what made you change your mind?

Yeah, first it was like, "what just happened".

Now it's like, "wow this is a horrific piece of ****".

nope it still sucks...but w/e I'm growing more apathetic towards ME with each passing day.

Basically this.

ME1 and 2 were SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD, it was as if the gods themselves had joined forces to create it.

I practically worshipped this series.

The ME3 ending IS the anti-apotheosis of the entire franchise.  I promise, it's all downhill from here.

They've nearly gotten me to swear off video games entirely - all video games seem retarded now.  I think it's time to start reading books again - and not ME books, since they are also apparently FUBAR. 

In fact, I should spend my time and money on going out and getting some strange.  That why I'm the one ****** instead of the one getting *******.

[shnellegaming]

I've been trying to play the single player for either ME1 ME2 or ME3 again and still can't open them without getting depressed and closing them.. So yeah still think its terrible.

Yes, it gives the same sense afterward that hooking up with Zevran did...

At first I thought the ending was genius, because I though Indoc theory MUST be true.  How else do you explain the ending and all the concidences that support Indoc theory?

But since then I've realized that it is possible that Bioware actually may have intended the current ending as an actual ending.  I now know despair.  

[Pacellio2]

Still terrible....I am trying to complete a second play through but knowing how it ends, I always just end up pausing it and getting side tracked....its so depressing

There is literally nothing Bioware could do to make any of you happy. It's impossible. They could give you the bro ending drinking with Garrus and little blue aliens and a few hundred of you would probably put up a billboard saying something stupid like "HAPPY ENDINGS IN MY MASS EFFECT? I DON'T THINK SO. SHEPARD DESERVES A DEAD ENDING. YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE BIOWARE"

Actually, all they need is an ending that doesn't reveal the Citadel to have been in control of the Reapers all along, therefore completely refuting the entirety of Mass Effect 1 and, given cause-and-effect, ME2 and ME3 and therefore the ending itself. 

If the Citadel controls the Reapers, there was no need for Sovereign to go there to activate the Citadel to bring in the Reapers.  The entire Reaper fleet would have arrived long before Shepard landed on Eden Prime.

The ending is fine, just not for this game.  I swear it got swapped at birth with another game's ending.

This game's ending is self-refuting.  Literally: if the ending is true, then the ending is false.

When you eliminate all but one possible explanation for a phenomenon, the one the remains, no matter how unlikely, is the truth.  The ending is logically impossible.  The only explanation for it is Dream/Hallucination/Indoctrination, because only under such conditions can logically impossible events seem to occur.

It follows from logic that Indoctrination Theory is true, no matter what the writers have to say about it, because no other explanation is possible.

[HoldTheLine]

I don't know that my opinion has changed, but my stance on the issue has.

I beat ME3 only 3 days after it was released.  I don't think I've ever felt more confused in my life.  All I did was wonder what the heck happened after the relays exploding.  Then, I discovered the Retake Movement, and joined, under the thought that we were fighting for clarification.  But then, as time passed, clarification DLC was announced, and instead of being happy my fellow 'comrades' were mad still, wanting the ending rewritten entirely, and so many were now just upset that Shepard wasn't alive.  I dropped out of the Retake Movement after that, and joined the pro-clarification group (that doesn't even exist).

I don't mind that Shepard's dead.  She lived and died a hero.  What I did mind was that her death had no answers to it.

That would ONLY have been BioWare's Genius if they'd come out after ~1 week and Admitted to it being their plan all along.

The Fans should not have had to dissected the Ending so viciously just to uncover the Indocrination Theory. It should have been 'fairly' evident, and then BioWare could have followed up with a "Congrats on discovering all the Easter Eggs relating our first upcoming DLC!" But they didn't ... Because that wasn't their plan ... The FANS were the Real Authors behind the Indoctrination and I think anyone giving BioWare early Credit for the IT before they announced anything was silly.

You have to take things at Face Value ... And the Endings we got, Sucked Balls. No my opinion on them has not changed over the last 5+ weeks and I will not "Have Hope" for this Extended Cut DLC until I see it ... And even though it has been announced I am annoyed at BioWare because they lay claim everywhere to "Listening to Feedback" ... Well obviously they haven't listened to Feedback because the Feedback we were giving was NEW Endings Providing Clarity and Closure ... Not Clarity and Closure on their BS. 

[FERGJ]

I still don't like the ending,so before starchild show up ,it's ALT+ F4 for me ,and return to desktop,....

[ZackG312]

STILL SUCKS

[MrGone]

Well, I spent some time contemplating it and my opinion has only changed slightly.

At first my impulse was to hate almost all of it, but now that I kind of understand the situation with rushed release and what a poor choice to remove Javik from the plot was, I'm just saddened.

Also, I've never thought the base concepts for the control and Destroy endings were that bad, they just needed to be executed and delivered better. For example, if it's going to come down to Anderson and The Illusive Man, then why not make that actually the case? I mean, if instead of  using the dumb ghost kid, they had Shepard either side with the Illusive Man, who explains how he will control the Reapers, or Anderson Activate the control console because he's dying anyway to give Shepard a chance to escape it would have all worked better. Like ALL of it.

The ghost kid is just really poor execution of decent concepts. It also leads to the dumber than rocks synthesis ending.

Again, no longer mad, just sad.
