Sure the ending was a let down but I will always fondly remember the ride I had on the way and it was awesome and I cannot thank Bioware enough for it and I always remember that nothing ever gets better without failures.
I think I'm finally over ME3 now...

diablo 3 beta
it really is that simple, dibalo helps me get over everything.

i think, however that bioware dropped the ball when they decided to start the game with a reaper invasion. i always thought that the whole point was that you lost as soon as that invasion began, but no they had to pull a superweapon from a convenient plothole. i thought it would have been much cooler if he somehow trapped all the reaper forces except a small vanguard somewhere (let's say around the collector base) and have to stop those guys from freeing the main reaper force. that would have allowed for a proper antagonist like Saren and we still would have to deal with a least one reaper fleet. i am, at the rate ground troops and spaceships are being destroyed in cutscenes and missions, how the fuck was there any turian military left by the time we attacked earth
edit: i think it's mentioned that the reapers did not build a reaper out of the protheans but if their goal was to save every species that way it doesn't make sense that they didn't

Not from what I've read... the thing I saw stated they're putting all other DLC on hold to work on the extended ending first.Vuliev said:
ETA: As for the Reapers not making a prothean Reaper... they still used the protheans, they just didn't fit the requirements for actually becoming one for whatever reason. And the Codex stated other Reaper ships (Destroyers and such) are made from other advanced races that are harvested during the cycle. Everything gets used, but not everything becomes a Harbinger or Sovereign.
I can't say I played the game, so I shouldn't be complaining about the endings... even though I still think they suck... but I just got over it after a while.
I coped by having a pair of balls and knowing that shit happens.
Some movies have shit endings.
Some books have shit endings.
Some games have shit endings.
ME 3 is a game with a shit ending. It's not the end of the world. EA didn't murder my dog and drown my goldfish. Bioware didn't sodomize me in the middle of the night and steal my wallet off the dresser. Casey Hudson didn't come to my house and key up my car (though he did blatantly lie to the ME fanbase, and I do think that bares noting).
The point is I was over the ME 3 ending about 2 days after I beat the game. I sighed at the ending, felt extremely disappointed about it, came here, read a crap ton of "OMG EA AND CASEY HUDSON JUST SODOMIZED MY DOG'S WALLET WHILE DROWNING MY KEYED UP GOLDFISH!!!!" threads, offered up my opinion on a few of them, and then yeah...I was done.
I still can't believe, though, that there's escapists out there that are STILL digging and picking at the ending, searching through it with fine tooth combs and magnifying glasses. Are they looking for new meaning or enlightenment on the ending? No, of course not, they're still looking for MORE things to get pissed off about. I mean seriously? If you're still searching and researching for more evidence of why everyone doesn't know just how pissed off they should be at the ending, then you really need to grow up and get a fucking life already.

Ahhh the cat speaks! And winks...which is a little creepy...>.>Fappy said:
Anyhow, yeah, I know that's what dedicated fanbases do, that doesn't make it right though. I mean it's one thing to ***** and moan when George Lucas takes a big greasy shit all over his own work and actively changes what has already been established. But thus far, the ending to ME 3 is the established ending. And we all get it, Bioware screwed the pooch on it. They choked. They made a crappy ending and the fans have every right to say "BOOOOOOOO!!!"
But coming up on 2 full months after the games release and people are still coming up with NEW reasons you should be even more pissed at Bioware? That is just a wee bit ridiculous.
While I agree and pity those who feel the need to pick apart the ending at this stage at least it shows us something kind of awesome. People loved the ME universe so much that they are trying to salvage it from what they think is its death. Now if people only put that kind of effort and devotion into things that... you know, actually mattered >.>RJ 17 said:

I already knew that the fanbase was dedicated, you could easily tell that with hurricane of crap that was raging before the game even came out. And again, I'm not bashing their zeal or passion for the game/series. Hell, I'm so zealous and passionate that I'm almost done with my 3rd playthrough of ME 3 and I'm looking forward to my 4th in which I play through all 3 games, make sure I kill Wrex on Virmire, and make sure absolutely NO ONE survives from ME 2.But see? My passion for the series is so strong that I'm not letting the shit ending ruin the whole thing for me. I still love Mass Effect. I think it's probably the greatest series of games I've ever played ever. Am I just blinding myself and deluding myself from all the BS that Bioware and EA have thrown our way? Of course not. However I'm not actively looking for new reasons to get pissed off and sustain my (literally) raging hard-on.
That is, a hard-on induced by rage. Tried something new with a pun there, hoping it works out.
I called my girlfriend (who had finished it a day earlier) and we made fun of it, made up a name for the creepy kid. Wasn't a good ending but neither of us were mad about it, we just made fun of it and compared our endings.
I coped by not touching the game for almost two months and playing other titles like Fallout NV and Red Dead Redemption. Oh! I also played waaaaaayyyyy to much battlefield.
A while back I came to same conclusion you did though. Eventually you just get over ME and the whole ending madness. I still have no urge to play the campaign again really, but from time to time I give the multiplayer some time. It is pretty decent, nothing special, but decent.

Not sure what you mean? They said they would be "clarifying" the ending in some free DLC over the summer months, and I expect them to be adding more paid DLC as well at some point, since it seems to be the thing to do these days. That's what I'm waiting for.Vuliev said:
I don't know what the story is with the face-import bug.
You are clearly not over it, seeing as you feel the need to make ANOTHER thread about it.
Because we need more. So many goddamn more threads. I haven't played the game yet, (I will, dispite hearing all the rage over the supposed horrible ending), so prehaps I'm wrong, and we should be rushing to the internet to rage over the ending, but I don't think so. Complaining to Bioware about the ending was stupid. And making threads saying you feel betrayed and wounded by the ending, and need all this time to get over it is stupid.
/Rant over. But still.

I was disapointed too but didn't make a big stink like most did.
I usually do 3 playthroughs in that game, 2 full ones, one pure renegade and one pure paragon, then a neutral speed run. I have all 3 files saved right before the last 2 missions so that when they release whatever the hell it is they're releasing that will make the ending better then I can pop it in and go.
I havent actually touched the game since early April because once I got 52/52 achievements I just stopped, even multiplayer lost its appeal. Not trading it in though incase future DLCs come out.

I like this idea, if the extended DLC turns out to be crap, instead of sending Bioware 400 cupckaes, why don't we send them a few polished turds? Maybe that'll get the point across this time lolJynthor said:
