So I Just finished ME3...Why do I feel like I was kicked in the quads?

 

I, apparently got the best ending possible... destroyed reapers, crew survived, femshep

survived(apparently).

Had a mixture of about 50 ren with 50 parag... My shepard treated her crew well but layed the

smackdown on enemies. Wouldn't let Legion upload reaper code because I figured that was a really BAD

idea...there is no way she would let that happen thereby removing the geth from the board entirely.

Went with the destroy option because I didn't feel right changing the entire galaxy just to save EDI,

who was cerberus AI anyway, but I still felt bad about it. Figured control was just another form of

reaper indoctrination waiting to happen.

 

I saved the rest of the crew who was really important to me.  I Wanted to shoot the godchild in the

head who I thought was a reaper AI, but figured I could do that by taking out the reapers and

godchild/AI in one shot.

The crew repaired the normandy and took off...probably to look for shepard. My femshep survived(kinda)

who took one breath.

 

So if I did everything to get the best possible outcome, why do I feel like someone kicked me in the

quads? Man..seriously depressed here.

 

Got all the warm and fuzzy vids on buddies/races enjoying their victory over the reapers, yet I still

feel bad about Shep... Sure they show all the good stuff happening to the others in the universe but

nothing more on shepard who saved billions of people...just one breath to hint at survival laying

there with a boulder on her head.

 

Shepard: "Uhh...guys..guys? Glad your enjoying your victory there but ya wanna get this boulder off my

face? Hellooo? Bleeding to death here...Hello?

 

Man, did I just get too attached to the character over 3 games? I seriously need therapy here....

Sorry, I just had to get this off my chest.

You feel like you were kicked in the quads because you were kicked in the quads.

 

But don't worry.  You are not alone.

[Argolas]

They didn't show Shepard being rescued because her survival was meant to be subtle because subtle apparently equals good writing.

[Melra]

Oh look let's beat the dead horse bit more.

 

[von uber]

More importantly why do you have 4 testicles. I'd get that checked out if I were you.

[Excella Gionne]

'Cause Maruader Shields!

Lol, That boulder must be considered part of a piece of new modern art. That's why they don't bother looking under it while they are spending those months/years fixing the citadel up.

I can definitely empathise with the feeling of coming away having been repeatedly kicked whilst lying prone on the ground.

Note that your Shepard was wrong about that last thing. Though RP-wise it's a reasonable thing to believe

[Xilizhra]

It's "quad." Singular.

 

I personally didn't buy the game until after I'd become emotionally prepared for it. I've actually come to appreciate the ending now, so I think it worked.

[AlanC9]

One theory kicking around is that the ending was written by one guy who sees everything as a collection of genre tropes (Mac) and another guy who processes everything intellectually rather than emotionally (Casey). So the clip means that Shepard lives, and therefore everything that would follow from Shepard living actually does follow.

I remember the afternoon when i finished ME3 like it was yesterday, stayed 2 hours watching the screen like a moron waiting for the "Got you, now to the true ending" to appear.... goo-bad times, bad times

[Marauderrr]

"They didn't show Shepard being rescued because her survival was meant to be subtle because subtle apparently equals good writing."

 

Argolas  - I'm assuming Bioware wanted to keep Sheps death fluid so they could say she died for ME 4 if they wished?

Or maybe ME 4 won't have anything to do with shep's storyline at all? Don't know.... but I kinda wanted a little more finality to the destruct choice.

 

Or maybe they just thought it was good writing.

 

"Oh look let's beat the dead horse bit more."
 

Melrache - ya, sorry about that, but I just finally beat the game.. so the wounds are fresh.

 

 

"Cause Marauder Shields!"

 

Excella - yep, with both hands, now I wish I ducked the last blast from the reaper instead of shielding...

[CronoDragoon]

I'm surprised you know about Marauder Shields. Well done.

I just wish he was better at his job, then maybe I wouldn't be so depressed.....

I hear he's pretty tough on higher difficulties. I should have tried that.

[JeffZero]

Sorry you felt that way. (Phew, that's twice in ten minutes I've said that. No, I don't know why either.)

 

Anyway, I disagree that you got the "best" ending, although most around here will nod in unison. The fact is there is no "best" ending, and not because you felt like you were kicked in the quads either, although in your case (and in the cases of many other BSN denizens) that'll certainly contribute to it.

 

Frankly, I think Destroy sucks. Not showing EDI's and the geth's deactivations is pretty bad but that helmet scene is the worst thing in the game. "Ooh, it wiggled. 10/10 masterful execution."

[Nole]

Yeah...I JUST finished ME3...right.

[JeffZero]

Yeah...I JUST finished ME3...right.

 

Uhh, it can happen. I'm playing DA2 for the first time right now.

[kalasaurus]

I know Extended Cut lowered the difficulty of Marauder Shields (especially on insanity).  I did laugh at how he turned from Marauder Shields to Marauder Shield.

 

@OP I can relate to that feeling.  I finished the game with the original ending before extended cut.  What a disappointment.  Yikes.

[JeffZero]

Now the vanilla ending sucking, that I can get behind.

[Argolas]

He did? I learned again.

 

Oh well, I played on Casual myself while I play Dragon Age on Nightmare. I suck at shooters.

[Marauderrr]

Yeah...I JUST finished ME3...right.

No..I did actually....had it sitting for a year and got onto many other games from steam christmas sale...

Wanted to play ME from the begining and just did'nt play it because of what people were saying because of the ending,

or because I didn't want it to end? Not sure.

[themikefest]

Do you see yourself doing another playthrough?

[N0rke]

As someone who just finished ME3 for the first time not too long ago I just wanted to pop in and let you know that you're not alone. Even knowing it was going to be bad going in I wasn't prepared to feel that unsatisfied. The good news is that while the sadness that the ending isn't what you wanted will always linger in the back of your mind, after a day or two you'll likely be able to stomach playing Mass Effect again.

I've always cared more about Shepard than anything else in these games, so in my case, it doesn't really matter if all is good with the rest of the galaxy when the one person I really wanted to save can't survive the ending. Maybe you're feeling something similar to that. 

 

At least your Shepard can take the breath (which the game guide does confirm as "Shepard lives"). I'm stuck with the no DLC and no multiplayer version of the ending, where that's not possible.
