I regret playing the ending. Twice. Even with the EC the whole series has gone off the boil for me because of it. A bit like what crazy old man Lucas did for Star Wars with the prequels. Damn shame.
Simple question: Do you wish you hadn't played Mass Effect 3?

Still my favourite.
ME3 just took the top spot after the EC.

Almost.
The feelings I had for what this game could be just before the first footage from this game was released, were crushed, brutally raped, tortured as the game released with these endings, and then were given first aid that barely helped when EC came out.

Tough question. Let me spend a paragraph not answering it.
I certainly wish ME3 had been different, and I think it could have been so much better. Fact is that it is badly written - plotholes everywhere, and apparently all the way down are just one problem (squadmates randomly teleporting to the Normandy? Simple, Shepard had them picked up in the middle of the final Omaha-beach-style assault...). The premise of "Reapers invade and we beat them" just doesn't work given ME1. It also renders ME2 completely irrelevant, which isn't hard since ME2 didn't really go anywhere to begin with.
Overall, given the broken overall plot, stupid resolution (if they had just cut Godchild...), lack of sense of achievement (you win by using a superweapons the protheans designed, Liara found and Hacket built... while Shepard was shooting Cerberus dudes) and generally depressing tone (the endless unskippable dreams...), I don't feel like playing ME3 SP again. Given that MP is rather repetitive and most of the "magic" is lost in MP (for balancing reasons, obviously), I don't feel like playing MP either).
So I suppose that at the end of the day, I'd rather not have played the game - that way, there still would have been the potential to have a satisfying conclusion to the series.

I do not. The EC gave me exactly what I wanted from the ending. If anything, the EC has restored my desire to replay through the games.

Nah I don't regret playing the games, I just have no desire to replay ME3... obviously I'll play all the SP dlc but I'm not sure if I'll ever get the urge to replay it numerous times like I did with the previous two games and the other Bioware titles.

Simple answer: I wish EA wasn't so greedy and hadn't rushed BioWare. Then we would've enjoyed the original ME3 in about 6 months time. Now THAT would've been the greatest game ever.
I do not regret playing ME3, it's just sad you can see clearly see EA's hand in the game.

I don't regret the time I've spent playing the games now and I won't regret it in the future after I do my next trip through. they're all still great experiences for me that I'm happy to enjoy again at my leisure.

I loved ME and ME2, bought ME3 on PC and PS3 and couldn't even bother to finish ME3 one time.
if you ask me what i dislike in this game, i'll tell you almost everything but the mp : It's the only part interesting in that game.
Will i bother preorder another bioware game ? hell no !
I did it with Swtor and this one and both are pure crap.
Bioware is not what it was.

I don't know. I'm too depressed right not to give a stable opinion.

I understand the sentiment.
Instead of giving me closure I found that the EC just reopened a wound that was finally starting to heal.

No, I just wish I never experienced the ending. I wish some otherworldly force had stopped me and hacked my game to give me an ending that doesn't rank as one of the worst video game endings ever. EC fulfilled my passion to play Mass Effect once more but I still hate the endings.

Nope. Even with the whole ending fiasco, I was hooked on the franchise since the first game and would have played the whole trilogy anyway, no matter what happened. It's a great game, and the EC is now what it is.

I really wish I hadn't. Replaying this game, I see the flaws in characters, animations, and side quests. Then hitting me with fighting through future CoD for an hour before finally giving a Deus Ex Machina that puts the Matrix to shame. For all of making Mass Effect 2 a about making friends with 10 (plus Tali and Garrus) people, where the ---- were they? Why am I stuck with Liara? I want to send her out of the airlock.

Yes. If someone remade this game from scratch, I'd probably play it. But this game just... wasn't what I expected.

Yes, I wish this game had like 5 years of development rather then the 1 it got.

Don't regret it but I do regret preordering it and buying it at full price. The game was okay for me. For me, the ending wasn't the glaring issue for me. There was a lot more cheesy writing, terrible pacing, lack of character interaction/development for a lot of the squadmates. For the ones that there were, the writing was awful (looking at you Kasumi). In addition, the cutscenes were very rough as well. For example, there were times when during a conversation, there would be a lengthy pause before they reply.
Next, the whole reaper galaxy map was boring as was the fetch quests. Thessia was an awful mission. Tuchanka was okay at best for me. I thought the reaper boss fight was terrible and lacked any tension and it ruined the image of invincibility of reapers. Lastly, the lack of focus of the reapers (who are destroying the entire galaxy), and focusing on Cerberus. I still never understood how the largest threat to the galaxy played a side role in ME3.
These are just a few for me that stood out.
Overall, I'd say a C+. The only real improvement in my opinion is the gameplay.

Not even slightly. I honestly can't imagine why anyone would regret it; whether you enjoyed it or not.
