played 3 a couple times, thinking about starting another run starting at 1 on my weekend. Gameplay > story, although I admit I wouldn't have played through these games nearly as much as I have if the story wasn't as good as it was.

[GargamelLeNoir]

Still not over it yet. Well I do enjoy multi, but single I can't shake my head around this terrible ending I'm heading to :/

[Keltikone]

I am so far over that phase that I'm now in my "IM NEVER PLAYING SWTOR AGAIN!!" one.

[TheIdiocyWizard]

I replayed through ME3 twice, but stopped halfway through the third run through because I don't really want to go through the ending again. Not right now anyway.
I started a new playthrough of ME1, but stopped after Eden Prime. Not because I didn't want to play the game, but because all the good memories I had about ME1 made me feel even worse about ME3's ending.

Nope.
If they ever decide to do ME4(I don't see how after that ending), I'll just wait until they conclude their story arc with ME6(or whatever). Check BSN, gaming message boards, metacritic, and Youtube for any fan reviews or rants.

If BioWare failed on their promises or under-delivered again, then I did myself a favor.
If ME6 turns out the be the greatest thing since toilet paper, then I'll buy ME4-6.

I started replaying it last week, but i stopped after Tuchanka.
I want to push on to finish Ranoch again but not really interested in finishing the game.

Mass Effect just isn't the same series anymore.

[Eralrik]

I played my one run through of ME3 and started a second one got to Tali's people and the Geth and just quit all together.
 I've clicked on the ME3 icon and as soon as it got to the load game I usually just hit exit and go onto something else.

Speaking as to something else I recently just finished Deus Ex Human Revolution and the ending although abit better explained, felt just like the ending to ME3 except the 4th option was in all 3 choices of ME3 and the Hologram reporter who explains your options must have been StarChilds Mother, hmm can we say Deus Ex fans at Bioware.

Not very origional guy's.

Though these endings did work well in Deus Ex and nothing was magicaly fixxed and relied upon good old Human minds and ego's to make way for change and while I hated the endings in ME3 I loved them in Deus Ex.

An i'm already running through for a second time, though the guy you play reminds me of Clint Eastwood in his mannerisms and speaking.

I've tried to get back into ME after the first playthrough, but every mission, character interaction and every furfilling moment has been overshadowed by the hollowness of an ending that means nothing. It's actually starting to grate on me that the best story arc I've ever played has, figuratively speaking, collapsed and soiled itself. Where there was once a noble and honest spirit is now a broken husk.............. Replaying merely haunts with visions of what I now know will come and I can't paragon/renegade interrupt, argue, or alter anything in previous playthroughs to find an ending that underlines, highlights and does credit to the Mass Effect experience. An old friend in bed on life support is what I feel towards ME3's ending and 2 months of struggling to find closure has not changed that.

Marauder Shields, I'm sorry I shot you...... twice.

I think one of the many reasons why the ending feels so off is, if they pulled that stunt with ME3's ending, whose to say they won't do it again in ME4........ should they ever make it. Bioware produced a product that may have been crafted by employee's to them, but to me they appear as artists in full control over their chosen profession. Then they lost control and the image of the artist cracked.

Me too, I love the whole series, thats not to say i love the the end of ME3 because i deffinatly dont.
but iv just finished ME1 again and started ME2 AGAIN.

but i dont understand people who say its ruined the whole series for them

[jakal66]

HAHAHA throwing your 3 copies away hahaha what a childish tantrum....makes you wonder what kinda people were dealing with here.Too many kiddies or temper tantrum teens...or the worse case scenario adults in need of psychological assistance ASAP.The ending is not the end of the world.It's crappy but it's not the worst...I love how people have this fanstasy that ME gives you many choices when it never actually did.1 ending in the first one 2 in the second(not counting if you die).Mind you I was pissed, but I am not going to go depressed or have a fit for a game....in the end it's just that...a game.

BTW: going through my 3rd playthrough with my adept and enjoying MP( to  my surprise)

I did the opposite, in fact. ME1 and ME2 were sitting a long time on my hard drive. Now I needed space, and guess what I did uninstall... it just came to me very natural, no hate or desire to express some frustration. There is simply no motivation anymore to replay the ME series. A pity, I know, but what can I do.
That being said, I still do like multiplayer, a lot. For me, it is like the last and ultimate DLC of ME2.

[Lisa_H]

I have thought about replaying ME1 and ME2 to have a new save ready if the ending DLC turns out to be alright. But the ending somewhat ruined the ME universe for me so I feel uninspired to start all over

[Redbelle]

Bioware need to ask themselves.......... What would Garrus do?

[R Rarzy]

I never went through that phase. I've been playing it on and off ever since release. I'm excited to finish this ME3 playthrough because I really wanna go back to ME1 and start fresh. All about ME1

You fixate like my 3 year old.
The ending was only part of the problem. The narrative as a whole.. FELL APART.
Not just at the end.

I know, your mommy and daddy bought this game for you so you're not inclined to care about the value of the product..
Unlike you, I work hard for my money. I like to play decent quality games too.
ME:3 was NOT a $70 narrative.

Crappy products fall apart.
I shoot crappy products.
Why not? It's cheaper than buying targets and more satisfying to boot.

[gigliani60]

I just play MP which i find really fun

I wouldn't go so far to say ME3 was all crappy. The resolution to B plot threads, i.e. Geth Quarians, Krogan genophage etc, were handled very well in tying up those loose threads. I noticed that none of those story arcs had a twist ending to try and catch the player out. It's that attempt at a twist at Shepards end which throws the A plot away to attempt an A is now Z plot. It can work in the hands of a master story teller. Sadly the script team were cut loose and the ending was worked on by a smaller team that over reached itself and didn't/couldn't come up with an ending that kept narrative cohesion.

I'm sure ending DLC will address some of those ending loose threads, but with so many questions that the ending raises that can't be answered BW need to look at it, dissect it and identify the errors of story narration with their whole writing team. They produce good work when their all involved.

[Ghost-621]

Nope. Haven't touched it. 

  The ending was just the icing on the crap-cake, with that day-one DLC as Casey Hudson called the "sugar on top." The entire narrative seemed to just fall apart more and more as the game went on, lore seemed to just cease to exist, choices did NOT matter (LOL at the dark purple Rachni queen), and everything from how the story was told, to the ways characters interacted and were portrayed as was dumbed down. All bimbos, boobies and hurr durr macho gun action. Gameplay was dumbed down, not "streamlined." I get it, you can roll, and use an energy sword omniblade, but the game itself became what felt like a Gears of War clone with influences from COD and Battlefield 3. Not bad games, just bad elements to be trying to copy and cram into Mass Effect for the "wider audience."

  If you weren't romancing one of the "canonized" LIs such as Liara, Ashley, or Kaidan, well, sorry. You're screwed  in that department too. Oh, and what was that five-minute photoshop of that iStockphoto...that was supposed to be the face of the most popular character of ME2? Talk about crapping on a fanbase. I would love to see how the "Shepard deserves better fans" bigots are going to try to justify that one.

  Also, what happened to the sleek, clean, sci-fi look and feel to Mass Effect? It seemed like technology in the game universe took a major downgrade as well. We went from the cool blue, purple, red and green muzzleflashes and bullet trails to boring, modernized machine gun sounds and effects. Even the grenades got a downgrade, going from the cool floating disc grenades to these...hunks of crap that quite frankly don't do a thing (I'm not talking about sticky grenades, but that was also very unoriginal of BioWare). Aesthetically, everything seemed to be clunkier, boxier, and even the hardsuits went from that clean, sleek and coherent look to big, bulky, and Gears-esque, especially when you look at Vega's armor. 

 Those were just a few of the issues I had with Mass Effect 3. Quite frankly, the only ME game I can bring myself to play is the first one.

I just replayed ME1 (also finally did new game+ to get level 60) and ME2 as a female renegon for the first time and seeing a mostly renegade femshep was interesting. Really loved the Jennifer Hale voice acting for Tali's loyalty mission. Also had a liaison with Liara in Shadow Broker despite deciding to go with a Thane romance.... they should really fix the way ME2 shadow broker relationship doesn't affect any other squadmates.

But now I've done both genders and leaned to both sides of the character spectrum. Also have played all classes except Soldier so I feel alright about that.

Hopefully extended cut gives me a reason to play through ME3 again with my new renegon vanguard Kimber Shepard.

[Ghost-621]

I also found it funny how BioWare's entire "TAKE EARTH BACK" and "FOR EARF!!1!" all crumbled down to a few instances of horde mode, the last one being around a truck with some missiles on it. Hee hoo. Talk about ACTION-PACKED!

I played it ONCE for the story.

Now if I just want to shoot something I turn it on once and a while.

Sad that I've gone back and played Skyrim, just months after ME 3 came out. Would have thought I'd be playing that game for 6 months AT LEAST.
