I haven't played the Citadel dlc but I might get it when spring break starts. But yeah I have to thank Bioware. The Mass Effect trilogy is probably the greatest trilogy I have ever experienced. Saying goodbye to my crew one last time at the end of the game truly felt like I was saying goodbye to a best friend forever. Which was why I was honestly saddened by Mass Effect 3's ending. Besides the fact that it was illogical I honestly wanted a happy ending with closure. The Extended Cut mostly fixed that.

So yeah. Thank you Bioware for one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life. No other game will match the relationships you can forge with a virtual crew.

i think most people as someone said hated the ending because they didnt want the end to come so quickly. I loved the ending, but i hated that the game was over. This game has sat in my mind for the past year, i treat it better than my religon which is sad but awesome as well. In my country female gamers are frowned upon, but i dont give a damn that i invested 400hrs+ in this game. I kept choosing thane, but was told if i have a me3 lover ill be even more content with the game, so i chose garrus. I still need to do a playthrough of that, and do the citadel dlc, but first im gonna get loads of hd textures before playing it again. The leviathan dlc answered all my unanswered questions.

Thank you bioware for engraving such an epic game into my mind! The journey was heartwarming, heartbreaking, frustrating with all the damn politics. But the end was worth it. Thank you.

 What I'm about to say has probably been said and echoed many times over but I'll say it anyway. The Mass Effect series is, hands down, the best video game series I've ever experienced thus far. The sheer depth and richness of its universe and its inhabitants fascinates me to no end and the charm of the characters and the quality of the narrative keeps me coming back for more. Eight playthroughs of the trilogy later, I still get goosebumps when I watch my favorite scenes throughout the trilogy unfolds and I still get teary-eyed when the curtain drops for each of my Shepards. There are so many unforgettable moments in this series, more than I can list (besides, that would be spoilers) and getting to know each and every one of Shepard's squadmates is always a real joy every single playthrough. Saying goodbye to Shepard and the team - my friends - for the last time will be difficult but we all know that Shepard's story has to end at some point. Sure, there are some rough spots here and there but nobody's perfect. All in all, well done, BioWare.

Lastly, I'd like to give a special thanks to the voice actors who bring my favorite characters and the Mass Effect universe to life, especially Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale. You guys are a big inspiration for me and I'd like to thank all the VA's from the bottom of my heart.

Once again, a giant kudos to you BioWare. Thanks for the many, many, many hours of unforgettable awesomeness and I look forward to spending more time with your creations

What the first three guys said!!

EPIC!!!

[skulker1507]

I absolutely enjoyed the series trough all it’s
up and downs. And I want you to know this. You all did absolutely amazing and
hard work on this series.

It was an adventure like none I ever experienced. Few
games ever got me so invested in there world or moved me so emotionally. Citadel
was a fantastic sendoff gift and now it’s time to say goodbye to Shepard and
his fantastic crew.

Thank you everybody whose hard effort
contributed to this great series.

Tbh, i am really sad about the game coming to an end, but it is no reason to trash talk  and hate so hard because of that...

[joker_jack]

The single player campaign is amazing. I just wish the extended endings where there to begin with. It would have made things so much smoother right off the bat.

[RainbowDazed]

I agree, the ME-trilogy is an awesome accomplishment, Bioware. I love the setting, the story, the characters, the gameplay, the merchandise (hoodies, tanktops, action figures, lithographs).

I also think that with ME3 you have found a good balance on DLC. I appreciate that we have gotten lots of free goodies (MP-DLC, soundtracks) and that the lifespan of the extra content has been limited to a year.

Keep on doing what you do best, Bioware, and I keep shoveling my money to you.

I agree, i honestly just want the QQ hate the ending" to stop. The ending wasn't what people wanted, but despite that i still think the ending was pretty damn awesome.

The Mass Effect series isn't just a trilogy of games. It's an experience. The gameplay itself is amazing, providing the right amount of action and dialogue. The combat is deep, incorporating a squad system along with all the guns you will ever want in life. The Mass Effect Galaxy itself is massive in size for just three main games. Science-fiction fan, eat your heart out. The reason I'm drawn to these games is the story and characters. The story, rich and deep, is further enhanced by the cast of lifelike characters. You feel for them. You develop an emotional bond with these characters.
I never thought I would fall in love with a video game. Thank you, Bioware, for proving me wrong.

I was planning on creating a thread to say what I wanted to say, but this seems as good a place as any. Also, to keep from spamming the boards with duplicate topics, I'll leave this here.

This is a "Thank You" to Bioware, and an apology of sorts. Like many, I was swept up in the wave of emotion surrounding the endings to Mass Effect 3, and the Mass Effect trilogy. There were, and still are for that matter, elements to the endings that didn't sit well with me, things that I won't bring up here, since I've spoken of them before, and others have as well. I honestly tried to keep my comments civil, and at the time, I felt that they were harsh, but not insulting. I hope that's the way the writers and programmers of the MEverse took them, but in case anyone saw my posts and were hurt or offended, I apologize.

The Citadel DLC has done much to ease my ill-feelings. Much of what I disliked about the ending was the lack of closure with my squad, the people I'd spent 3-5 years getting to know, the supporting cast that made Shepard great. The goodbye scenes on Priority: Earth didn't flow with the narrative, it felt like an artificial break in the action, where instead of wandering around talking to people, we should be pushing towards the beam to end this war. But Citadel DLC not only put the party, and the individual squad scenes, in a more relaxed part of the story, it extended the experience. I got to spend lots of time with my squad, the entire DLC let out all the stops on cheesy humor (which was great!), and the entire squad got to show just how badass they are in their own right, not just as adjuncts to Shepard.

I've been a casual gamer all of my life. I'm 35, married, 4 kids, I work 10 hour shifts, and I still find an hour here and there to play some Mass Effect. No other gaming franchise has affected me like ME has. I've laughed, I've cried, I've raged at the Council (or the choice on Virmire). I don't know how it happened, but I've become more emotionally invested in Shepard's story than in any fictional world I've ever experienced, and now it's ending. I'm sad, and before the DLC, I would have been angry as well. With the DLC, I'm sad, I will miss these guys, but now it's going out in a good way. I still don't like the endings. I never will. But now I can let that go, and enjoy the greatness that was the rest of the story.

Thank you for sharing mate! I will admit too, I was hoping for a "disney" ending (sort of) since it is the final story of shepard, and i was kind of dissapointed when i didn't get it, but i have made peace with it. 
The people who say stuff like "Oh the ending sucks, i am not going to buy anymore bioware games" are full of ****. Sure, the ending put a bad taste in some people's mouth, but you shouldn't forget the ride that you had.
I am happy i found Mass Effect and i am excited on what is next (although i am excited about a new mass effect, i am curious on how i will feel since i am so attached to Shep and the gang)

   Mass Effect is truly a masterpiece. Before I was introduced to this series I too had no previous exposure to Bioware products. The joy of the Journey is in the ride, and what a ride it turned out to be. Never before have I had such an attachment to a series or the characters portrayed within.

   The closest series I can compare to is Stargate SG-1. I followed each and every episode and grew to know each character, but it doesn't hold a candle to this. The way your character can shape the story and the story can shape your character is phenominal. Mass Effect isn't just my favorite game. The series is my favorite science fiction work, period.

   Mass Effect has brought so many people on this great planet together regardless of age, gender, personal background, and geographical location and forged bonds unlike any other game I have had the pleasure of playing. Every evening I can't wait to get home and face the largest threat to the known galaxy with some of my best friends fighting at my side. One of them always jokes to his wife while on mic saying, "hold on honey, we have to save the galaxy".

   The depth of lore that sparks debate and speculation adds to not only the story, but to the community as an entirety. The fans go as far as to take the series even further with fan art, tributes, and off shoot stories (role playing) all thier own the likes of which rival some of the game's own development. Each one a new insight into how Mass Effect has influenced them. I would be lying i fI said that Mass Effect hasn't influenced me as well.

   "What if the mass effect universe was real, even partially? Take a walk with me down this path for a moment...

   The universe is lying in wait right now, infinitely folding in and around itself. We are just reaching Mars, just returning to Luna, and grasping at the edge of our solar system peering deep into relms of existence only previously imagined.

   We are all guilty of looking up at the night sky like a wide eyed child striken with awe, flooded with aspirations of frolicing amongst the stars, the cosmos our playground. What untold treasures and wonders are stowed away in our own backyard?

   As we mature, advance, and evolve our Curiosity peaks, we seize the Oppurtunity, and lift the Spirit of our civilization to Voyage to the edge of the unknown to Discover who we truly are. The Human race is curious, possessing limitless potential. We need only to look into ourselves and accept the Challenge ahead. Our Endeavors will pay off, we will endure, preservere, and prosper. 

   Modern astronomers gaze through the lenses of telescopes, eyes fixated to monitors as data feeds stream in from radio observatories. New exoplanets are unveiled from the cold dark cloak of space even within our own galaxy. With each find, new questions are raised, theories re-written, and old notions re-defined. Dark matter comes to light, the boson particle is no longer theory, and we are on the cusp of viewing an atom for the first time. 

   Major coorporations are looking to the stars for new resources and revenue, mining precious metals from asteroids, harvesting regolith for helium-3, and putting boots on alien soil. New industries will emerge, technology will evolve, and we the Humans of Sol will flourish. Perhaps the Mayans were correct in their assessment, this is truely the end of an era and the rise of another.

   The possibility of us being alone in the universe is rapidly dwendling. Titan holds water, Mars was once covered in ancient rivers, and exoplanets within the "goldie locks zone" of red dwarfs. How can life not exist elsewhere? Are we merely isolated, celestrial outcasts? Regardless, the fact remains, we are unique, inquisitive, and tenacous. But isn't that what makes us so astonishing?

   Could we uncover something that has the potential to jump our technology forward a few hundred years? I believe it is at least possible."

I totally am a believer in Aliens even before I've played ME, but ME has gave me the perfect idea of how Aliens (humans included) will be (Besides the wars and the reapers).

Saying goodbye to my crew one last time at the end of the game truly felt like I was saying goodbye to a best friend forever. Which was why I was honestly saddened by Mass Effect 3's ending. Besides the fact that it was illogical I honestly wanted a happy ending with closure. The Extended Cut mostly fixed that.

So yeah. Thank you Bioware for one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life. No other game will match the relationships you can forge with a virtual crew.

You should get it. Anyone who got attached to the characters should!

I'll probably get it in the summer, I might get Dragon Age Origins in spring break. But yeah. I really did get attached to the characters and I spent the entirety of my gaming life in high school freshman and sophomore year on Mass Effect 1 and 2 to get the "perfect" save files for Mass Effect 3 to try and insure that all of my crew and the species of the Galaxy could survive so me and my crew could party it up in Afterlife after Mass Effect 3. The end mission of Mass Effect 3 is probably one of the few times a piece of media nearly made me cry.

Just over a year ago when I finished mass effect 3 for the first time I was angry, upset, and sad. Not because of the ending but because losing Shepard felt like I had lost a good friend. As with any lost friend, I shall cherish the memories forever

[wac2791]

I was so thankful for the chance to meet Mark Meer, Chris Priestly and Keith Hayward at momocon last weekend just so that I could try to put the words together to say "thank you" for the countless hours pushed into developing this series...I'm so happy I was able to find this game and play it through countless times going on for 3 years or so now... Still not done with it either... Gonna have to play it at least another dozen times.

Thank you so much, BioWare!!!
