Confusion. Rage. Disappointment.

That's my timeline.

And I agree 100% that there wasn't any sense of accomplishment at the end.

This except my rage was crying in a corner for 3 months then I was disappointed.

Nope i still despise the appalling plot device that is the catalyst
Still very annoyed they refused to provide any closure/clarification for Shep lives too.

All in all the ending is still a trainwreck, just one wrapped up in a shiny bow now.

[Biotic Sage]

I'm confused. I wasn't upset about the ending to begin with...

Guess OP isn't talking to me.

[Liamv2]

I am fine after the extended cut

[Budgier]

I'm still upset, but it's definitely toned down. I've come to terms with things, accepted nothing is going to change. It has really infringed on my enjoyment of the series but I try not to let it completely destroy my love for the Mass Effect universe/characters. I just try to ignore the ending to the best of my ability and substitute head canon.

I am in this position. Though with time and thinking about it I'm no longer confused about it. 

Yes it isn't the best ending out there, but in all honesty I consider ME a great story with a rushed final part and an average ending. 

A horrible ending? Seeing in the prologue of a well written comic the writers saying that sadly this is the last one they will make, and because of that they dropped any pretension of writing and found excuses and scenes to kill all of the characters. Because as it was said there one of them told the others when thinking of ideas. "Hey guys we can't kill everybody for the lolz....or can we?"

[Galbrant]

No, and I won't be buying anymore of Bioware's games new and at full price. I will only buy it in the bargain bin used for 20 or less dollars depending on the content of the game. If it's multiplayer I'll assume it has a inane online pass and will be skipping the game entirely. Especially if it has micro transactions like in Dead Space 3.

[Jadebaby]

Still hate it. Probably even more. It's not a hate that dissipates and most certainly isn't a hate I can come to accept. It's a hate that swirls and festers around for a long, long time. Only getting worse and worse as the stinky pile decomposes into an even stinkier pile of remains and bile.

[Ieldra]

At this moment, I'm fine with the endings. The EC did a lot, Leviathan, too. I won't pretend there aren't still big flaws, but...it's ok, really.

I have much more of a problem with the fanatical insistence of some people here on BSN that the ending I choose is "wrong" and will result only in bad stuff. Others trying to ruin my story, that's an attitude I hate with a passion.

I'll be honest I won't ever forget that feeling of finally getting to the end of the emotional rollercoaster that was ME3 and having that Starchild appear and then suddenly all Relays blow up and I feel like I've done more bad than good. The EC didn't fix that at all.

My ME3 game is just gonna sit there and be a reminder to never pre-order a game ever(ME3 was my first pre-order ever) and that if I want to play in ME its ME1 and 2 and thats it.

I wasn't that upset even before the EC was released. I wasn't happy with the ending, but since most games have bad endings, I just added it to that list and moved on. The EC made me pretty happy. I was really greatful for that free addition to the game.

[Ulathar]

I'm fine with how things turned out, actually. Leviathan and the EC had a role in that and whatever I think is still missing (also regarding what happened after the war), well, that's what headcanon is for. ;-)

[Bryy_Miller]

It's a piece of fiction, there's nothing to "come to terms" with. You either liked it or you didn't. No point "coming to terms" with it. It's not like something incredibly jarring happened in your real life.

[Obitim]

I think i agree OP, i was pretty annoyed initially but with the Leviathan DLC and EC I think the endings have been described pretty well...I think once I work my way through my game collection then I'm gonna start a playthrough and pick up the errant achievements I don;t have!

[Gfletch]

Came to terms with it. Completed destroy with the EC last night for the first time and after reading through certain codex pages, it's pretty clear in my mind what the ending is about.

It's actually really clever. If you take the game at face value (you vs the catalyst, make a decision) you get SOME closure - but if you look into it more and understand what's going on (ghostly images, ringing in your ears, confusion, strange events etc etc), you learn a lot more, and it means a lot more.

Basically, before I read the codex, I was unhappy with the ending. But now, I get it. And I love it.

It cut me up seeing EDI's name on the wall though...

Next up... synthesis... let's see what happens there!

Apparently some people around here integrated it into their real lives to a scary point where their own personal happiness hinged upon ME3's success or failure...I still think the fallout and backlash that I observed on the BSN following the release of the game will make an excellent study for a psych student one day.  It was fascinating to me, and still kind of is.  Never seen anything like it.

Don't give a damn about it any more, i still think the ending sucked but frankly, in the overall scheme of things it's meaningless as there are far more important things to obsess over irl, things like job, money, house, food on the table, ya know, the real important stuff that makes a difference.

There wasn't really anything for me to come to terms with. The endings are what they are. Yes, I was disappointed with certain aspects of the ending and EC/Leviathan did offer some closure.  
To be honest I am not going to let my disappointment with the last 10 minutes of ME 3 affect the fantastic trilogy Bioware has given us.
Don't get me wrong I would love to have the next DLC answer many of my unanswered questions. But I personally don't think that will happen. 
So I will happily play whatever SP DLC they release, then move on to other games.

[Raging_Pulse]

I still dislike the endings. The way the writers/devs decided to handle the Crucible <--> Catalyst plot ultimately kiled the trilogy for me, though now, I'm far from being angry or upset. I used to be but I got over it, in large part because I shifted my focus almost entirely to some other games, most notably the Dragon Age franchise. 

I'd suggest to everyone who already hasn't to get Dragon Age: Origins, preferably the Ultimate Edition with all the DLCs and Expansion Pack. It's one damn good game. It does almost everything that ME3 tries to do 1000 times better (running around the world solving different factions' problems in order to recruit them as war assets against both the Ultimate Evil antagonist and a "secondary" human traitor/turncoat type villain). 

Of course, I realise it's not exactly a fair comparison for variety of different reasons, but I can never play Dragon Age: Origins and NOT think of how that game is better Mass Effect 3 than... Mass Effect 3.  

[Clayless]

Wasn't upset with them in the first place.

While I hated the hold the whine movement with an absolute passion, I do like Extended Cut a lot, so basically I wasn't upset with them and now I have the Extended Cut to make them great.

[Sir George Parr]

I can use still go back to MP. But with SP it lacks any satisfaction at the end and if you have finished the game once you don't won't to go back as there is nothing for you. there's no hope there's absolutely nothing, it just reveals in misery and suicide.I am just disappointed by the ending not upest. ME3 will be used as an example of how not to end a series of games. But worse things happen every day in the real world, that are bigger than a game publisher screwing things up.

[Brovikk Rasputin]

I was pretty sad about the original endings. By the time the Extended Cut was announced, I hadn't played ME3 since the release and I was just about to leave Mass Effect behind. That original ending just made it really, really hard to care for me.

Never became a part of that whole 'hold the line' thing though. Even though I was sad about how BW had decided to end their game, I respected them for doing something so bold. The industry needs more risk taking. ME3 somewhat failed with the original ending, but I still feel it was a step in the right direction.

When the EC was released, they fixed everything. I got all the answers I needed, and ever since, I've played ME3 again and again. An excellent game finally got the excellent ending it deserved.

I'm as big of a fan as ever now, but to be honest, I'm a bit worried for the future. Too much online stuff in ME3 imo. SP and MP should be kept separate.

I prefer control in the original ending, it was more ambiguous and less "Hey, I'm God now". Synthesis will always be a no for me because of its physical possibility and moral implications, and destroy's price is still too high for me.

Still think that they're a wasted opportunity for the sake of supposed 'depth' but complaining about them a year later is pointless.

Mostly waiting for the final DLC at the moment so I can start working on some fan fiction of my own.

Hoping that I can like the next Mass Effect, but I won't be pre-ordering it.
