Played through on my Infiltrator for a 2nd time and I feel the same as I did prior to the EC. Perfectly fine

Made a few small changes though that made me feel even better about the game.

I destroyed the Geth.
I destroyed Cerberus.
I destroyed the Reapers.
All the enemies of my Shepard Infiltrator are dead, now he will wait on Rannoch (If he survived Destroy choice) to see if the future has anything else for Tali and him.

In the words of Tali - "Totally worth it"

I got over the endings. I'm enjoying the entire trilogy just fine.

[MystEU]

Second time replaying the series after EC came out. First EC ending was decent, but I had left the game for a month waiting for it so I didn't have that whole emotional connection to the story still lingering about.

Started anew a month or so later and enjoyed it a little bit more.

Working through ME2 now for my own personal "canon" Shepard to go with Destroy on the new endings. No problems here.

Actually I feel better about original ending - old sentence in my countrey: better to not know everything, it was lesser evil than with supposed an explanation in EC it´s even greater nonsense than before.

And to OP: Since release I have made 4 playthroughts - 2 with EC final chapter, and I didn´t feel better.

Yep, it did. Have played it through to completion several times. Coming to these forums to rant and listen to others do so as well, helped too.

[EnvyTB075]

Quite the opposite actually.

haven't finished my third one, after 5 months still haven't finished it, i got to Cronos base, but even with EC still remember what happens after, so just playing MP now, don't know why but MP seems like a good way to enjoy the game and forget about the issues the SP has, nothing to different just no Shep, Squadies, or story but still more enjoyable then reliving the endings.

Tried a third playthrough on insane just to get the final achievement and I got to Mars and just stopped because I just simply didn't care

[ticklefist]

Sadly no. Been working on the 4th play through for about 5 months now.

Nope, Shepard's efforts were in vain... there is no point watching the hero to become the villain.

[tyrvas]

I felt better on my third run because my objective was not part of the story but of the game.
I wanted the Insanity achievement and that's all I really cared for. Super speedrun with infiltrator.

[KiwiQuiche]

If anything I got even more dissapointed and angry the more I tried to replay it; first time it was only the ending that really bothered me. Replaying it I see all the rest of the terrible parts and there is a crapton of them.

The first time I played through ME3, I was disappointed.  Even after I went back and played just the end again with the EC, I still wasn't too pleased.  But I just finished a new playthrough of ME2 and then ME3, and I really warmed up to it this time. 

I think the first time through, I was so full of expectations.  I expected a big role for all of the ME2 characters.  I expected the Reapers to be defeated in a big space battle.  I expected certain past decisions to have a major impact on the ending.  So my initial reaction was to hate the ending for letting down my expectations.

The second time through I didn't have any expectations.  The ending is what it is, so I just played on through it, and I actually really enjoyed it.

It's still not what I wanted.  It's not at all how I would have done ME3.  But it's a great game, and a great story as far as video game stories go.  I guess I've made it through all seven stages of grief, and I've reached the acceptance stage.  I accept ME3 for what it is, and it's pretty excellent.

Actually, yes.

The first playthrough: I thought the story that the writers wanted to tell was that of the reapers being defeated conventionally by a united galaxy, but obviously we didn't get that, so I was disappointed. We got an ending about Synthetics vs Organics, a theme that I never payed too much attention to.

My second and third playthroughs: I knew going in what the story that the writers wanted to tell was and so payed a lot more attention to the themes of Synths vs Orgs and tech singularity. So it ended up kind of making sense to me. And I decided to take the endings at face value and to not think of them as the Reapers tricking organics into submission/mass indoctrination.

So yes, my later playthroughs felt better. Still uneasy, but better.

I played through the whole trilogy with the "synthetics vs organics" thing in mind and it pretty much made sense to me. As for the OP, i loved the extended cut and im on my 5th playthrough. I always pick control.

[EnvyTB075]

I still don't get how you can go from "Reapers vs Everyone" to "Synthetics vs Organics", i just don't.

It was nothing more than a side-story, and always presented as such.

[N7 Shadow Liara]

No, i don't feel better. In fact i can't finish my walktrough anymore! I stop playing everytime at the Cronos station. If i'll buy the dlc, i know i'll did not replay the ending! It's still bull**** despite the EC!

[Fisherathletic]

I just got me1 for pc as im PS3 owner i have ME2 and ME3, i did my renegade playthrough on 3 but playing ME1 is not great even though ive never played it, three just pissed me off with the series, strange though i can still play me2 it is just amazing.

[Direbunny]

Yeah, it kind of feels worse. There are so many parts of the game that I like, even love, but, as the Starks say, 'The Ending is coming' and that knowledge looms over me, even when I play through Tuchanka or Rannoch. . Its like sitting and looking at a fan while a beautiful thing, a diamond if you will, flies closer and closer to you and when it finally hits the fan, you realize you got poo, all over your face.

[Mr Heatsink]

After repeat playthroughs I'm cool with the ending. Played the first time, got angry, swore, posted on board, saw EC, downloaded it, played it, felt better, got over myself. Ovviously there is more in store, you don't let a franchise like this die. Unfortunatly the fans are gonna kill it, they love it a bit too much. But I'm waiting for the new DLC. ME 2 had a ton  of DLC and this one is no exception.

[ozzydude66]

My fourm ia about how i like the endingd I'd post a link but my copy button is broken. Oh and yes I do like them better.

[Harorrd]

nope, still sucks poop

Of course you don't, not when you can make sub-par games and milk the "fanbase" for all its worth.

So far I couldn't motivate myself for another playthrough, although my other Shepards from my several playthroughs of ME1 and ME2 all still waiting for their turn.

Maybe the upcoming DLC can make me start another campaign mission.

But honestly, I don't care anymore if the ending is purple, yellow or pink and if there is added dialogue with the Starbrat or not. The ending sucks. Big time. For hundreds of reasons. And with the Extended Cut BW made clear that they have no interest in really fixing the thing.

So either Mass Effect 4 comes out and Bioware learns from their mistakes and makes it right this time or I keep focussing on the Multiplayer till the day the bugs and glitches annoy me so much that I am done with that too.
