I'm not referring to the ending (I got a mod to fix that hehe), but the whole game in general. I know it's been like a year since it's been out but no one has pointed this out before (as far as I  know). What I mean is the entire game is just so miserable. I mean, I know it's stressful, going up against the reapers, but even in ME2 you were going up against suicidal odds and the game still felt like a fun adventure across the galaxy. But ME3 is so emo feeling even every color hair Shepard had between brown and blonde goes black. Even the graphics are all dark and depressing. Like good lord this is a video game, not some European movie about a 5 year old alcoholic orphan on the streets who dies alone and unwanted in the ending. I know I'm getting a little over the top and I don't mind sad and emotional feelings in a game (and I know that's hard to take me seriously because I just said I use MEHEM), but, damn. Is this part of the artistic integrety they say they have?

EDIT

Okay okay never mind (not trying to sound bitter). I guess that's just the way it needs to be.

EDIT 2

Just to clarify I don't mean with the sacrifices and stuff, I'm fine with that, I just meant every single diolag seems really depressing. But okay I didn't really think about the fact that it's a war. So my bad people I didn't really fully think about it, I didn't even know more than 5 people would even look at this. I'm not implying that ME3 had to be sunshine and sparkles, okay?

It's a war? Those aren't exactly cheerful.

Because instead of a story, they gave us a Rorschach image and asked us what we see.

Never said it had to be cheerful.

I'm glad they didn't yuk it up for YouTube lulz. War is hell. This is just the barest taste of what a real war is like.

Be glad you weren't doing Javikesque calculus the entire time.

[Mcfly616]

ummm is War supposed to feel "happy"?

[HiddenInWar]

War with nearly unstoppable sentient, planet-swallowing, galaxy-hopping starships?

lolz

really tho, it's the BSN griping that raining on parade strength and numbers. It's became 'trendy' to dis ME.

Because the only thing that in ME3 matters is the ending, you can do all you want during the game(and during the trilogy) but in the end you have the same 3 choices translate lack of RPG, why? Because they resetted every single choice(Rachni, squadmates ME2 and their missions, Collector base, Council ecc) to make the game more appealing for the casual gamers
You are no longer Shep, you are just another spectator

You sir are correct.  The game overall is very negative, and not just with the ending.  It's literally everything.  The dialogue, the tone of the setting, those damn dream sequences, the emotionally-manipulative-sad-piano music, etc.  Hell even the Normandy's lighting was dark and somber.  

It's as if Bioware had a "sadness hammer" and were savagely beating us over the head with it.

I'm glad they had it in there though. Ruthless calculus is a part of every war. There is no way around it. Sometimes, there's no other options

Seems like that way to OP. 
Death, guns, reapers OH THE JOY!

Lol

Its a war so the mood is very grim and sombre, that mood would have being enhanced by having the OST made up of material from the Joy Division back catalogue . Thats why i choose destroy at end and get the bonus of shepard surviving it all. Without it the whole experience of ME3 would be very depressing. The breath at the end will have to do for shepard's story to end on a positive note.

 Because there's not enough Jack<_<

[d4eaming]

War is hell, Shepard watches nearly all his friends die, and there's no guarantee of survival.

[Fnork]

Because apart from Rannoch & Tuchanka there aren't many upbeat moments at all.

War is hell, rabble rabble, reapers are unbeatable, story is grim, art

[LucasShark]

Because appart from a few bright moments, the game is both depressing in terms of its tone, and in terms of its subject matter, likewise it had no possible positive outcome.

Was going to say something, but this pretty much summed it up.

ME3 is just a depressing game that makes the "dark second act" of ME2 look downright cheerful.

My Shepard didn't, Garrus, Jack, Miranda, Grunt, Wrex, Tali, Legion, Joker, Jacob, Liara, Kasumi, Zaeed
, Ashley, Samara, chakwas, Kelly, Vega, Javik, Trayner, Hacket, Cortez, EDI are all alive

Only friends who died are Mordin, Thane ( was dieing in ME2 before ), Kaiden ( Gone in ME1 )

Choosing destroy you supposably lose EDI and Legion but still have a ton of friends still alive.


Depends on your playthrough so it's not because he lost nearly all his friends as it's depressing even with hardly anyone dieing. There was never any garuantee of Survival in the second one but it felt a lot less depressing then this one. The resolution of a conflict generaly doesn't leave one feeling worse then before it.

[Mr.House]

I did not find ME3 depressing at all, except for the endings Bioware made.

[VLX11387]

It kind of reminds me of the Harry Potter books because those got progressively darker and darker as the series went. In this case compare the feeling of ME1 to ME3, yeah... lol

[Taboo]

Yeah uh, war isn't pleasant. The issue I have is that it's inconsistent;y depressing. And then the last twenty minutes hit and the entire Omnibus crashes.

Corpses! Corpses everywhere!

[Han Shot First]

Bioware had a few stumbles in Mass Effect 3, but I think the overall tone of the game is one of the things they got right. Considering that Shepard is in the midst of the most destructive war in human history, which also happens to be a war that they are losing, the middle of the game needed to be a bit dark and depressing.

I have a couple of saves dedicated to the literal interpretation to try and see other people's points of view. It has ruined me...

It was grotesque and disgusting...
It keeps me up at night...

I was at the nursing home visiting my grandma, I was getting her a Pepsi to drink, and a vending machine malfunctioned and then gave out way too much change. Long story short, I went out of my way to ensure the money went back to the machine's operator...

My grandma told me I was a good person. And I went out into the hallway and broke down. Because I wasn't. I was a monster. I've ran the hypothetical over and over in my head hundreds of times, and I always come to the same conclusion. Under the right circumstances, I would commit genocide. On anyone, on friends and loved ones. All of you...

Presented with choices, each more monstrous and disgusting than the last...

Green used to be my favorite color...
Now whenever I see it, I get pissed off...
The only green outside of nature that I can take solice in is Overlord (where I can shoot synthesis in the face) and Thane (The measure of an individual is difficult to discern from actions alone) Both of them I keep close to me...

At times I feel dead inside...
Not only did I not see how people interpreted the ending as completely literal, I really didn't see how they could like it...
