I agree with the bottom 2 not the 1st one ..... If you're really still this depressed over ME3s ending, you need to do something that doesn't involve anything ME at all for a bit. Play BioShock Infinite.

I'll be honest, I tried that, and all it did was make ME feel even worse. Everything I played and watched just reminded me of how bad it is.

You should play a naughty dog game..Oh,wait

Nope. The ending is amazing.

I found the game as a whole much, much more depressing than the ending. The ending only requires the sacrifice of one life. Billions have died already, the galaxy is in ruins. I liked the place, quite frankly, but now all I can do is rebuild. The ending may be artsy and oddly placed, but things start improving from there.

That's called shell shock

I love stories, I hate it when they go "bad". Had a similar experience with Honor Harrington and the new Solarian League arc. It's a problem when you start rooting for the former villains to kill the heroine... it would make things better. I'd similarily imagine TIM shooting Shep before the later getting upstairs so TIM is the guy to suffer through the ending. I'm just afraid he'd shoot himself, too.

The ending really isn't that sad. Lots of hope.

The ending is a celebration of ignorance, violence and moral degeneracy. Where's the hope in that? Also, congrats on getting all those cheevos. 

Way to misunderstand the entire thing. Can't blame the game for that.

Also, thank you for talking about my sig in two threads now. I'm not even lying when I say this it makes me quite happy. ME2 on insanity was pretty hard.

Definitely.

Though it was sad to me because it was the end...and Shepard gave his life to save the galaxy...but it was a happy sad.

I think the music perfectly reflects my feelings during the ending.

The sad emotional music that starts as Shepard begins to shoot the tubes...then the "f*** yeah" music tempo begins as you see the different scenes on the differents worlds.

Amazing what a video game is capable of. It took me months but I'm almost over it. But I can't play video games the same way before ME3. Some how the anger and sadness I felt gets into all my other games

You need to be able to let yourself like something else. ME is still my all time favoite video game series, but I played the Bioshock games, the Batman Arkham games, Assassin's Creed games, and I like all those series. There are other games series out there that are fantastic and it's okay to like them.

After ME I tried Batman games and got right into the story, I stopped thinking of ME entirely because I was so into this new series I was playing..

Now I'm back because ME is my "true love" of video games but I don't really care about the ending anymore

I'm kind of getting to that point, and I'm happy I have some other things to take my mind off of it. I've really rediscovered my love for Star Wars in recent months. I've been dwelling on the Star Wars wiki reading about the Expanded Universe and stuff.

 The  ME3's ending has made me kind of depressed, for third time. I know... it's just a video-game but it's so awful, so sad... so baaad.I played other games with sad ending, but I not feel so bad like feel with ME3.Anyone else feel this way?

I was when I first finished yeah... but I've wrote my own head-canon post ending. I never realized how attached I had become to my Shepard & crew until that first time finishing ME3. It did send me into a funk.

I know what you mean OP. Right before the Citadel DLC came out I did a playthrough on insanity for the achievement and then I find myself finishing the Citadel DLC and Cerberus base and just couldn't play the rest knowing what happens. You get the sense that you'll never see any of the characters after this point in the game, especially the ones that got slides which ultimately ends their story. At first I thought because they don't tell what happens to Tali, Joker, Garrus and Liara, it meant that their story would continue in another game.. but I don't see how they can continue the game after ME3 which breaks my heart because I want to know what happens with my favorite characters.

On top of that my Shep is making a big sacrifice and sort of leap of faith when choosing control and it's this big sacrificing moment and usually those show all the good things that happen afterwards but you just get the sense that there is still things wrong in the galaxy that they leave out. I would've liked if they showed some of those problems and then showed people getting through it without my Shep guiding them through as always

I'll do playthroughs but I won't be playing the ending till days before the next Mass Effect comes out

You need to stop everything ME for a bit. That's what I did. Everyone telling you to read fanfiction and stuff is wrong. That'll make it worse. Go play some other new games, start a TV series, get in to something else for a bit. And get off these forums.

You'll come back appreciating ME for what it was and for what led you to it originally. Other than that, anything you do that is ME related right now will only make things worse.. You wanna feel better? Leave. You'll come back eventually. Did it myself.

Wrong. A year away from ME did nothing to make it better. Didn't download DLC's, didn't play multiplayer, didn't read Marauder Shields. Nothing. For a year I read Iain Banks, Frank Herbert, Dan Abnett and every other bit of sci fi I could get my hands on. I played every game but ME.

It's still a horrible ending with a horrible plot. If you find that your anger has subsided then all I can tell you is that you didn't really know what you were upset about in the first place and were just coasting along on the rage. And that's fine. I wager that most people don't truly appreciate what went wrong. But for the ones that do its offenses are there every time we come back, in plain view.

I am not exaggerating when I say that ME3 is a narrative disaster.

Or even in a narrative way. The whole game has a depressing atmosphere, but there's still that ever faint flame of hope, and knowing that the right choices will get me to that hope. It expands and contracts considerably over the course of the game, and you even believe that you can win through unity as a galaxy.

Isn't that what happens? Galaxy builds Crucible, galaxy deploys Crucible, Shepard uses Crucible.... victory follows.

[MassPredator]

Not necessarily. 

The theme is changed and the narrative is changed. You're no longer using the Crucible to defeat the Reapers. You're no longer even trying to stop the Reapers.

Now you're trying to find a solution for the Catalyst's problem. Now you're using the Crucible to solve the Reaper problem. The main problem of the series is left out in the face of this new problem that is literally introduced to you in the last 5 minutes of the series.

Yes, you CAN technically still play the game to destroy or stop the Reapers. I won't deny that argument, and even wish it was implemented. You can headcanon that you're choosing destroy to defeat the Reapers, consequences be damned. I do.

But the game's narrative in that final point doesn't support that. The intentions of SuperMac and Hudson don't support that. In fact, if you try to break the new narrative in favor of the old one, the game punishes you for it (either by refusing, or picking destroy which has the impact of damaging technology and destroying all synthetics besides the Reapers). The game doesn't let the Reapers be the problem at the very end, when literally the entire point up to the end of the trilogy was to solve the Reaper.

No, what happens is that Galaxy build Crucible, deploy it, then the Reapers tell Shepard to use it and trust that it does what they tell him. And Shepard plays along.

Well not in my game, but yeah.
