Three years later and people
still haven't moved on. The ending was fine. It wasn't god's gift to gaming, but it didn't give you cancer either. Isn't it about time to let go and find a new game to bear your ire? With all the utter crap that's come out since then, surely there must be a more recent game to burn in effigy? Look at it this way: you never have to play ME3 again if you don't want to...but you've still got untold amounts of disappointment to look forward to in the future. =D
OT: I'll go with Portal. Given that it's a puzzle game, there's really no point in playing it once you've already solved everything. So it'd be fun to get to play it again for the first time without knowing all the solutions.
The ending was far from fine, and one must understand, my enmity towards the franchise/company stems from how deeply invested I was in the series, and how betrayed I felt when it was revealed Bioware just couldn't live up to the colossal expectations they set for themselves, and us the fans.
Honestly, this actually was the first True Disappointment I'd had, concerning Gaming Hype Culture, as most other things I was able to shrug off and say, "oh well, there goes $59.99. What's next?" But this, this is what caused me to finally be wary of the sales pitch that game companies spew. While I have a litany of grievances about the ending, I'll summarize it with this: if you say your ending won't be a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure A,B,C type, and you say you're way too creative for that, and you constantly tell people the ending depends on your choices, and you reaffirm this statement, over, and over, and over for 5 long years (or 1568 days to be exact), but your ending is either Blue, Green, or Red, and your in-game decisions don't matter, well, thanks Casey Hudson, you were able to get more than $300 dollars out of me, but I'm fairly certain, you'll never get another damn penny from me.
