I was sad at the end... in some ways because of the ending, but it was more because the series was over, and there was nothing left to play. It would have definitely helped if my Shepard had joined back up with the team, at least in slides. But oh well...

All I can say is that it will last for a little while, but it will pass, and then you can have the fun of coming around and arguing about the endings with everyone. :P

Here's what I did. I went and read the whole LoTR trilogy, that helped out a lot. And then go join a group for your LI (if you had one), and after that you can start reading the FanFics if you want, I wouldn't do it right away though. Then play through the whole trilogy again, and then come on here and get in arguments. :D



Or simply join the PC Gaming Master Race so that your ME3 has MEHEM.

I recently replayed ME3, and while I still remember both the original and the EC endings, just not having to deal with the starbrat made it so much better. MEHEM is by no means "perfect". It is, what it is s, an amateur made mod, but it is good enough and actually made me smile at the end when you are reunited with your crew and loved one.

I feel sad, I can"t say depressed. This is my favorite game series of all time, & it has to eventually end. Feel sad that Shepard have to be sacrificed, even more so with my femshep. The music really create the mood that make you feel sad.

Not sad. Whenever I finish ME3, I create a new Shepard and start at the beginning of ME1. It's a vicious cycle.

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.


QFT!

Retake your mind!

Dragons Dogma completely took the disappointment of ME3 away, But if you havent already then man up and play Dark Souls as that's what winning a game should feel like.

Not depressed at all but was speechless the ending was amazing and my first play through was not the ending I was expecting but my second play through I'm getting that "magic" number.I can't put into words how BioWare does it, the games they make good or bad they still get you sucked into that world and I've been a fan since BG.

 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?

If it helps try playing Bioshock Infinite. It has a similar style of ending but it's actually consistent and well done, and there's a lot to interpret.
Sorry Bioware, i'm going to anoher party :P

Yep, played it and working up to trying to get more stuff and all in the game.  The ending was said by someone to be worse than ME3's, but only if it had not been attached to the story it goes to.  It really fits it and instead of being some pseudo-intellectual stuff, it really is there to make you think about it and the story.  ME3's ending only ever made me want to think about what I wish it was instead.  It forced me to explain how I saw what it said or to try and guess what someone might have been trying to say.  On the last point, I've determined they were trying to say everything and nothing and then see how it was interpreted and what might stick.  Then, that would be the meaning.

I thought it was a **** ending to a mediocre game, but I didn't really care any more than that about it. Pretty much the only thing it ensured was that I'd not replay either of the games.

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.


I know exaclty what I was angry about.. I just don't care anymore.. Bad video game endings happen all the time.. In my mind now it's just BioWare sh*t the bed with the ME3 ending and that's that. Oh well, nothing to be done.

I actually am of the master race. :P 

I'm going to get the mod and use it on my next play through. Seems interesting, and it would take away that feeling of uselessness in knowing the end already.

Eh.
If you guys are talking about Bioshock Infinite, I agree.The ending, had many many people confused. But when you sit down and think about it, it not only made sense, it fits.

That is not to say that, there aren't problems with it, oe obvious one as when dealing with time/interdimensional travel is the grandfather clause and effect. Which would lead one to conclude that Booker didn't need to do what he did at the Baptism point. Why not go further and remove the reason for Booker wanting redemption in the first place?

Still, as is it made sense, more so if you played the game a second, third or multiple times and notice other cues that clue you in onto what has happened, is happening, will or could be happening, in the game itself. 
Live, lives, lived.
Die, dies, Died.

Depressed... After a video game. Okay.

When you have emotions involved it's not hard to get depressed.
Something inside you breaks

Depressed is a strong word, save it for important things.


You obviously missed a post. Troxa was recovering from real depression. You know the capital D kind. Don't ever hand wave someone off like that. You have no idea what it's like.

Ah yes, Dark Souls.  Amazing distraction from the crap that was Mass Effect 3's ending.  That and Skyrim.  My anger is gone.  Honestly I haven't touched Mass Effect 3 since Extended Cut DLC.  I'm playing through Mass Effect 2 again, reliving the good parts.  Nothing beats Lair of the Shadow Broker!!  I don't even think about ME3 ending anymore.  Damn tragedy what it is, but I'm starting to just forget it even happened.  I've envisioned the perfect ending in my own head and that's how the series ends for me.  Bioware and EA can go f*** off.  I'm boycotting purchasing anything EA forever!!

Boy, is it depressing to see people loudly proclaim how uninterested they are in ME 3 as if somehow makes them powerful.

It's also painfully transparent as well.

We're just letting our voices be heard.  Not that Bioware and EA care what we think, we will voice our opinions none the less.  Those who really want your voices to be heard, speak with your money by not spending it on this BS anymore!!

Even more so is seeing people loudly deride other people's feelings on a subject, as if this somehow makes them wise and cultured.

I can play this game too :devil:

It's depressing to see so much drama, period.

Wait, depressing might not be the right word.

Yeah. A year later after you decide to buy all the dlc's and replay the whole trilogy again because you were freaking bored, you realize the game is not as bad as it is made out to be.
You then look back and realize how much of a f***ing idiot you were for being depressed over a video game.  Yep, thats what happen to me.

It's not about your feelings. It's about your actions. Here's what's going on. BioWare has an immense amount of power over you. Their success or failure has a great impact on you. And you're helpless. There's nothing you can do about it. Nobody likes being under power of someone or something they resent, so you try and deny that power by doing stuff like this. Pretending you don't care. Which is obviously unture, since if you really didn't care you wouldn't be here in the first place.

It's hardly uncommon, but that doesn't excuse it.
