Post game depression

I get it sometimes when the game is really good. I'm a big fan of Gears of War so it happened with me for every one, especially Gears 3 because of the ending. It's the same with both Witcher games. I usually just try to get into a new game and it passes eventually, then I go back and replay them later.
I actually feel a sense of accomplishment and joy when completing any game. I could have put the game down for a few months and only take an hour or so to beat the final difficult boss, but once I'm done, it feels great.
I usually leave the game alone for a few days/weeks before I decide to either go through the extra content/DLC or plan to complete the game again, so that it could sink in and feel excited to give it another go.

Don't know if this counts, but I was very depressed when I went back to my old Ratchet and Clank games and found them to be incredibly boring for me, which was understandable since I beat the first three games more than a dozen times each and I also found that I had literally hundreds of billions of bolts in the second and third game when I booted up my old save from the internal memory card stored in the PS3.Tallim said:
I have a few endgame thoughts...
One and the one I usually hope it's not is the "phew, finally over"
Most of the time it's, that was a really nice game and while the credits roll I sit and think through everything I've done and experienced during the game and while there is an empty feeling I am sually a bit happy that it ended and I can focus om something new.
And then there's teh empty feeling when I could just have played it for eternity and enjoyed the game so much it was actually sad, this is typical with pretty short but challenging games.

Play the DLC and maybe get started with the sequels. On the other hand I might move onto a similar game by the same developer.
Yet I finish games so infrequently it's unheard of

I have had it before, sometimes I get it from completing certain chapters in a game. For example, I always have a slight depressed feeling when I finish the Lakeside chapter in The Witcher. Maybe because of all the horrible shit that happens in that chapter, or because of how much I enjoyed the landscape. However I get it worse when I finish a long game that I really enjoy.
I fear I'm going to get it soon, too. I'm playing through the Mass Effect trilogy for the very first time and am nearing the end of the third game. Ehh.. it's gonna be sad for it to be all over.
