These days, I simply turn the game off when I get to the end of the beam run. It makes playing the trilogy a bit better for me, as there is no ending .

I'm pretty sure everyone gets a little depressed after the ending. Either because the epic conclusion to the trilogy turned out to be a disappointment or because the ending just simply isn't a happy one. Shepard's dead or heavily injured, the Normandy is stranded on a strange planet, earth and the citadel are wrecked.. So yeah.

 

I still enjoy the journey every time, though.

I recently replayed the entire trilogy. It was just as wonderful as I remember.

The ending didn't bother me as much as it did the first time I finished ME3. With the Extended Cut, fan-made Happy Ending Mod, and Citadel DLC, I've made my peace with it. The latter was the perfect send-off for the greatest video game series ever created.



It also helped that I picked the destroy ending, so Shepard lived.

The nostalgia is real. *sniff*

First time I beat this trilogy, I was sad for about a day. I got really attached to my femshep and I was no ok with her dying. But I got over it relatively quickly. I made a broshep based on myself and the games felt more personal. Love interests held more weight, I liked characters I initially didn't like, and characters like Garrus, Wrex, and Kaiden felt like good friends.

I do feel a bit sad at the end of the trilogy. But usually I have enough war assets to survive. And I just let the destroy ending play in all its glory. I don't need to make up a modded ending or pretend that the endings don't exist. I take them for what they are and am fine with that.

Mass effect was the game series which had affected me emotionally the most... until life is strange came along and showed me what real emotional investment was in a game.

Man that game broke me. Makes mass effect look like noddy.

I was a huge fan of the series.  Until the third game that is.  Not just the ending, the plot in general makes no sense when you take it in context of the other two games.  ME3 stands alone as the only Mass Effect game I haven't replayed multiple times. 

[Obliviousmiss]

I sure did. I watched funny Mass Effect youtube videos by DJHarbringer and ACAYVOS to make me feel better. 

 

Especially the "Marauder Shields" video. Eventually, the dlc helped me out.

 

 

My husband is still butt hurt. He refused to play the dlc, and hasn't returned to the ME world since. He still buys me Bioware merchandise for gifts though.

After my first playthrough - I chose control - I don't actually remember being sad at all. Only annoyed that the last thing I saw was Joker and EDI landing in some interesting looking planet without my Shepard. The second playthrough I made the horrible choice of choosing destroy... that was just awful. But overall I think the ending was good. Shepards story is over and it's time to move on to next things. That's how I see it.

Tell him he can play Asari and headbutt stuff with Krogan in MP. That will make him smile again.

it was amplified because of this playlist

TL;DW:

Basically the detail analysis of the stupidity of the me3 narrative. 

Yup. That's the go-to reference if you wanna brush up on where everything went wrong. Just note that anything Smudboy analyses will leave you liking it less becuase he addresses every objective flaw he can find and accounts for every nitpick. truth be told, it all matters in the end, but if you take any Star Wars movie and give it to Smudboy for example you're gonna come out thinking Star Wars is a piece of **** because of the way he analyses literary work.

[Bowlcuts]

Yep.

 

To this day, Mass Effect and Dark Souls are the only games to have gotten me. (Yes Dark Souls actually has a very heart-wrenching story and isn't some artificially difficult JRPG, you heard it here first folks!)

[congokong]

The ending to ME3 made me teary (extended cut version). After three games, you get so attached to your character and their relationship with companions that it's very hard to let go. Plus, Shepard is likely dead. I look back on my past ME playthroughs and remember just how into it I got. A part of you feels like you're actually there as that character. The Shepard/Liara romance, which I did with every character, got me even more into it. No other game series got me so emotionally invested.

 

I actually haven't even made a new character in over 2 years and am not sure I want to because:

 

1. I'm rather content with my canon and how I left the series

2. The emotions (and now nostalgia) when you really get into it

 

It was a good ride though.

[Dubozz]

I was depressed because bioware literally killed the series for me. Ending sucks big time. But hey at least they made three DLC to fix the ending backlash, that should count for something right? right?

[TheHugoGamer]

JohnP's alternate MEHEM helped out. Still mad about the ending, but the removal of star kid, and ending after the Anderson/Shepard moment felt ten times as fullfilling as the disgrace that bioware originally put out.

 

It helps that its been long enough that I can pretend that Synthesis/Control does not exist. 

[AQ0]

Omg! Yes!

I felt so sad that I actually felt like crying when I got the bad ending.

I didn't actually cry though, I'm not one of those soppy emotional people that cry at every film but after playing through to the ending It actually made me feel quite emotional.

[Linkenski]

Yep.

Actually I heard it two years ago before playing it myself. There's no misconceptions about Dark Souls unless you've been looking in the wrong places, which I haven't even seen yet. Most people understand it's not just about difficulty or pseudo-like narrative, but that it's about the "soul" of the games if you will and that they do have great stories in them. Damn, Dark Souls 3 is gonna be good.

Yeah, and what a joke it was. They avoided the biggest problem with the ending but fixed everything else, so to people who didn't like the ending for the wrong reasons (boo-hoo, Shepard dies and where's my crewww?!) they got what they wanted but to people who didn't like it for the right reasons (the narrative incoherence and retroactive destruction and confused message) they only got an extended version of the previous one that points out even more how bad everything actually was. Synthesis was originally vague enough for me to respectfully say "I don't think that is the right idea, but it's certainly a big change" to saying "B...but that's not...? EDI isn't the body... "Synthetics and organics coexist peacefu"-- THEY ALREADY WERE! *rips hair out*"

[Neverwinter_Knight77]

Playing multiplayer also made me feel sad for a different reason. I had to step up my game in order to survive (or make up for unskilled teammates). As a result, singleplayer normal mode became too easy.

[JavenRai]

The ending doesn't make enough sense or give any sort of satisfaction whatsoever.  Wholly disappointing.  If you remove Starchild from the equation then read this short web-comic image from deviantart, well hopefully disappointment will be replaced by a smile, at least we have fanfiction/fanart.
