What an absurdly overdramatic question.

Not at all, it is perfectly reasonable to critically question oneself regarding the issue. The OP merely provided a thread for each player to come to a conclusion of their own to share with the community if they wished.

Don't regret a second of it.

[Siansonea]

No.

It's not like it took over my life, and I poured my heart and soul and all my money into the franchise. It's just a game I played that I really liked, and it opened the door for me to play other games that I really liked, and I met a lot of fun people in the process. So yeah, bad ending. And bad implementation of the "player choice" feature. But it's still better than ME2, I mean, what a waste of time that turned out to be, working for the Evil Guy Who Killed Admiral Kahoku instead of chasing down other leads on the Reapers. If only we'd known about Dr. Kenson and Object Rho sooner. And if we hadn't been de facto Cerberus sympathizers, maybe Hackett would have clued us in sooner, what with our expertise on the Reapers and all...

It was fun times. Now I'm over it.

 I don't feel used, but I really feel that BioWarEA really blew what could have been remembered as the greatest game trilogy of all time.

I'm not sure I really understand the arguement of 'Giving the ending we wanted' over 'Giving the ending the players wanted' when you are in a Product/Client relationship.  Heck if I gave my clients what I sometimes wanted to give them and not what they wanted and paid for and expected, how long do you really think I'd stay in business?  If you are being paid to provide a service or product then you give the clients what they want and expect.  To heck with what you want to do, you are not being paid for that.

BioWarEA blew it, they just blew it, and in a way I really feel sorry for them.  What should have been their crowning glory turned into their worse mistake yet.

But that's what happens when any business starts to care only about itself and nothing for those whom you provide a service or product to.

I hate how Mass Effect 3 ended, but I still love the series. I also thought ME3 was the best game of the series, until the last 5 or 10 minutes.

I'm waiting to see how this extended ending DLC plays out.

Same here, i hate how Mass Effect 3 ended, but i love the Mass Effect series.

[Darth Death]

I would be lying if I'd said "no". For me, I found more faults in ME3 than just its ending. After playing ME3 a second time, (awhile back) it's evident to me the game was rushed. I've no desire to play the previous installments whatsoever. In short, my answer is "yes".

[Dandynermite]

Yes, a couple of thousand times over. I wish Shepard could have just died when Sovereign hit the tower in ME1, then it would have been a great RPG game, you get a few choices, and its fully made. Then you buy ME2, the RPG element is brutalised, its still good.
Then you get Gears of Mass Effect 3 and I'm playing a TPS in which the level of choice is pathetic, the game is blatantly rushed, and the team behind it want to build some kind of multiplayer universe (ha. ha. ha) that loads and loads of people are going to join. (My college has 32 people who love ME1, 29 who have ME2 and quite like it, and only I have ME3 because they all looked at reviews before they bought, and happily decided not to).

So yes, I wish I'd never seen it at all, At least a game very similar to Halo will be made from Bioware in the next couple of years, they won't keep up the TPS and will go for the CoD market next, just like they went from us RPGers to the Gears market before

I resent the final three minutes I had invested into Mass Effect 3, but dearly loved all the hours I spent in Mass Effect prior to those few minutes.

The good outweighed the bad (only by little, that ending seriously jabbed me in the emotional gut.)

[PluralAces]

i dont resent the whole experience...just the ending of the trilogy...i was upset that i wasted over 120 hours of my life playing a trilogy that I thought would reward me for my choices by giving me a certain ending that would be different from other people based on my particular choices, but I received the same ending everyone else did.

It's like someone can pick up Mass Effect 3 brand new, start a new game, and get the same ending that I got even though I played from Mass Effect 1. That is not very rewarding and I feel cheated. And yes the journey is its own reward....and the journey itself was great, but I do not feel that with all the choices made available to the players throughout the three games that the ending should be the same. There should have been multiple endings based on certain key choices that were made throughout the trilogy.

Pretty much this, but without actually haven gotten the game myself, instead already arriving at a similar conclusion back when the script leaked.

[BatmanPWNS]

Nope, I do regret buying all those DLC's though.

In response to OP

Not at all. Bioware was a grand space opera epic, a compelling story of characters and arose from a broadly agreeable set of morals. A sentimental tale that was a pleasure to play. The ending defaced that; but the monument still stands.

[Seboist]

No, while the series is abysmal b-movie 1930s era pulp schlock whose sole purpose is to metaphorically jack the player off by being on a poorly written wish fulfillment power trip and provide laughable tacked on awkward "romances" for socially inept basement dwellers it has made me greatly appreciate the games that are vastly superior to it such as Witcher and Blazblue.

[Mr. C]

Why, because of 10 minutes of fail?
I enjoyed the previous 75+ hours more than I didn't like the ending.

yes i do wish that i had never ever played ME in the first place.

A bold statement, but an honest one. There's been times I've thought this very comment.

I feel like I could've used those hours.... to study.

Me too. I really misspent my youth.

It's time for math!

well, 4 ME1 plythrough plus 6 ME2 and 1 ME3: 10 * 35(h) + 27 = 377 hours.

If someone (I) read 20 pages per hour, he could read 7540 pages, or more than 15-20 books 

For me that would be 2500 pages. I read slowly. Not to mention that 90% of my reading time is spent getting distracted and reading over the same information again (I miss important information when I read).

I don't regret playing ME1 several times, ME2 a few times, and ME3 just twice. What did bug me was feeling let down by the ending. The game could have been so much more, but that is life.

On a positive note, this is one of the few games I know of that has tried to "make your choices matter" over three games. It obviously fell short in certain areas but may open the door to future sci-fi operas that will succeed and surpass ME.

i was gonna write something, but then i just read this and i agree.

ME1 was awesome, but im sure another developer can outdo what bioware tried with ME2/ME3 on the next gen.

You do realise most of those 'basement dwellers' have some form of autism and you're being massively insulting in saying that. Its pathetic that you would make an account, come onto a forum and pour filth like that online. If you really are that awkward about being geeky enough to play RPG's and think you need to distance yourself from the popular conception of nerds then you really aren't convincing anyone.

As opposed to you - a socially-inept basement dweller who got lucky and landed an equally-socially-inept basement dweller girlfriend.

He plays the games to remind himself of just how amzing he is.  He keeps his distance and imagines what a loser would do (and he clearly ISN'T one of them) while playing the game.  After doing so, he has a threesome with his two supermodel girlfriends while laughing at all those who aren't total WINNERS like he is.
