I just finished my first playthrough and I totally loved the game. After all the negative ending hype, I thought I would hate the game. I played ME2 but didn't go too deeply into the lore, so maybe that's why the ending didn't bother me at all. Going to download some DLC's and play again. Sometimes ignorance truly is bliss I guess!

It certainly is.

Glad you enjoyed the game!   The ending didn't bother me either, but yes, definitely feel free to get some DLC and dive right back in.         Stay ignorant of all of the negativity and I think you will stay very blissful indeed!    I enjoy it and notice more awesome things on each playthrough.   I'm sure you'll do the same.    Hopefully this play through will be the first of many!   Have fun with Mass Effect 3 and stay classy.

well you certainly learned a great lesson, NEVER pay attention to fan feedback, because most of them tend to be full of ****, ungrateful pyjaks with entitlement issues who think the world revolves around them, as you can easily tell by simply skimming through the first couple pages of threads right here.

Mass Effect 3 is definitely a helluva game, and even 5-10 mediocre minutes at the very end cannot compete with hours and hours of awesomeness beforehand.

Op, seems you haven't read or seen much Sci-fi.

Part of the rage is because is "very similar" to Isaac Asimov's Limits of the Foundation book... AND first Deus Ex videogame.

Play and read those, re-see ending, take a thought, and ask yourself what happened.

nothing like ending a trilogy with a deus ex machina

some like it some don't . community is split, basically sweet. like the game for teh most part also . ending does leave a bitter taste though

Maybe he doesnt want to read those books because he doesnt care about the bs, and just wants to enjoy ME the way it is. I played all three, and the ending was good enough for me. It has great action and sex, Its a F'n game wont change anything in the real world. Some poeple way over think this S***. Im glad you enjoyed it!

I am not a big fan of sci fi - you are correct - and I haven't read Asimov's book. I tend to prefer the fantasy stuff and have read a ton of that - Jordan, Prtichard, Martin etc.
I do think many games/movies get so over-hyped - that a let down almost always occurs,
But with ME2 and ME3 I loved the characters and the relationships, the visuals and the concepts and back stories were great. And that is more than enough for me! This is why I love the Bioware games.
I suppose that the level of passion people have - pro or con- speaks to the brilliance of the series, If players didn't think the series was great - no-one would care about the ending I guess.

As an aside, I am trying to avoid as much DA3 hype as I can! Just want to enjoy that game on its own merits!

Oh yeah - I will try Deus Ex though....

It's so great how people can't allow others to like something that they don't.

They seemingly need to do everything they can't to make sure that the person hates it as much as they do.

It's absurd.

Glad you enjoyed it.

As for me, I just stared blankly at the screen. There was no emotional high or feeling of achievement like the first or second game had (moreso the first game). The EC remedied the situation somewhat but it's still a bitter ending for me.

Deus Ex Machina: God from the machine

Shepard is on his/her knees when Child emerges from the direction of the Crucible.

It is a kind of cool and wicked when you think it that way.

That sums up my own feelings pretty accurately I'm sincerely happy for you for not being disappointed with the ending - and a little jealous. I wish I didn't have this feeling that it was a very, very bad ending to the Mass Effect series. It's not necessarily a bad ending in itself, but attached to the Mass Effect games, it's a big let-down for me and doesn't fit in at all.

Overall, I enjoyed the game a lot, though. And yes, you're right in saying that the strong reaction is assumably indicative of our high appreciation for the series. To me and many others, this wasn't a proper Mass Effect ending. Oh, well, the series is still good and at least we've got an awesome ending in 2 out of 3 of the games it could've been worse...

This will stand as an example for how not to overthink.

Keep your gray matter luke-warm my friends.

....This is totally false. The anger on this forum is not because the ending is like other stories.

But the catalysthasno control over what the crucible does.

[ghost9191]

no but the device that is the crucible solves all problems with 3 options. and 2 of those options if not all were put there by something

Did you play ME1? Play ME1 it's really awesome, has a great storyline too.

ME3 was awesome until the ending, but I agree, it is a really good game...just that ending.

I think I sort of went through all my stages of grief, so I plan on doing another playthrough of ME3 whenever I get the time. Maybe I'll see it a different way? I don't know.

Glad you enjoyed it though, if you enjoy it, have fun, no need to make yourself dislike the ending if you don't. I really wish I did enjoy the endings. :/ The extended cut sorta lessened the depression for me, but still...

Blegh, whatever, GLAD YOU ENJOYED THE GAME! I really mean it.

Ooooh, more ending talk. Exciting!

Glad you enjoyed it OP. Me, I was angry for a solid week after my first playthrough pre-EC.

[WNxPowder]

glad you see you aren't one of those who feel like the are entitled to the ending they wanted
