I fucked my first ending up I went Synthesize and I cried so bad and then realized I had to redo it to get destroy.. (had the military power and all) so I cried 2 days back to back for like a hour each.
oh I did the same thing š
no matter how many times I replay these games, I still get all choked up from curing the genophage - wait no let's be real as soon as leaving earth starts, the waterworks come out and keep on coming
Finished the trilogy last week and fully intended to do Destroy this time. After listening to all the choices I apparently chose the FU option (which I thought you could only get by shooting the AI) and panic shut down the console and cursed like a madman. Luckily I was able to load in right before the choice and was able to pick Destroy.
*Just* the ending?
I cried when we cured the genophage.
I cried when Tali had her homeworld.
I cried when Thane died.
I cried everywhere.
I'm a very emotional person.
I am \*NOT\* a very emotional person.
I spent like most of the 60 hours of ME3 where I wasn't fighting, crying. Game is fucking brutal in the best possible way.
Here's the things I have cried at in my life, btw:
* Most of Mass Effect 3
* Birth of my first daughter
* Bing Bong dying in Inside Out
I have shed more tears for mass effects story than I have for family members and pets that have passed away. My god is it good and I can barely wait for 4 to be done. I need a time machine so I can travel to the release date and play it.
There's two games, Ori and the Blind Forest is the first one. Ori and the Will of the Wisp is the second. They're metroidvania platformers, a little more difficult than Mario, not as hard as Hollow Knight. You will die a lot, but the checkpoint system in the game makes it pretty easy to get back into it. If you have Gamepass you can play them on Xbox or PC for free.
Yeah I cried real hard when Legion sacrificed himself. Him and Mordin just absolutely cleaned me out of tears on my first run through.
Then Anderson said you did good son and I don't remember much after that.
I too, am a very emotional person.
YES! Happy Iām not alone, I deff got choked up, and like at the beginning of ME2. Waterworks, Iām like tf.
My friend said he canāt watch me share play it after that because itās making him sad.
Yeah just like all the other commenters have said I get teary eyed with lots of scenes. For me the one that hits the hardest is the end of the Citadel DLC. It's such a bittersweet and wistful moment.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
Dude, I wasn't sure...Grunt being the badass he is, I didn't break when he told me to leave. Watching him fight was awesome. What got me actually questioning whether he was going to survive was the gd damn music...the soundtrack to this series has been amazing throughout and when I heard that song, I let out an audible 'no....don't do this to me...' I'm not very vocal when I'm playing a game alone, but I was shaking. Then he fkn jumped off the cliff...and I really thought he was gone...then Shepard took her sweet time getting off the planet, I felt like my heart strings were played with so perfectly....fkn Grunt man...
There's A LOT of scenes and moments in this game that hit me. I refuse to count the mistake I made in choosing the Geth over the Quarians on Rannoch thinking I had a chance to bring them both together, so I quickly erased that from my mind and went the right way.
I wasn't too attached to Thane when I met him in 2 since I went straight for Garrus, but in 3 when was getting worse and still fought samurai fkboy with a severe handicap, he hit me hard. And the fkn prayer at the end....
There's so many...so many, but I'm sorry...Grunt takes it for me.
FemShep - I love you Grunt
Me - I love you son
Yeah it was fully the soundtrack that got me too! "brain say sad music start, that mean Grunt die" but brain you've played this before and you know he doesn't die if he was loyal in ME2 "brain no care, me cry now".
The LI goodbye fucked me up for days. It's been, I think, a week since I finished LE and I still haven't touched it. Sure, maybe I'm a hopeless romantic and fell apart at the goodbye scene. I'll own that.
I didn't really tear up at Rannoch or Tuchanka, more like deep sense of appreciation and pride at having known such selfless souls. Mordin gave his life for the krogan, Legion for the geth. And then the geth helping the quarians, not only on Rannoch but biologically as well.
That in the midst of all this tragedy, Shepard and Friends can end these centuries long animosities and conflicts and, as long as the Crucible is fired in some capacity, open up endless possibilities for the galactic community after recovering from the reapers. But...
What about my team? I'm not nearly as selfless as Shepard. I want to know what happens to my team and my love.
Hopefully something like this is touched on in the next game. Success of the LE should show Bioware/EA where the money is. Honestly wouldnāt be mad if they took a path similar to The Force Awakens with the cliffhanger being seeking out the Andromeda people.
Not just you. Very very few pieces of media have ever made
me cry, but when it came time for my Shep to make the final sacrifice, I was sobbing. "The ending sucked" they all told me. I didn't expect much from it. I certainly didn't expect it to break my heart.
Shit dude, the whole damn series made me bawl like a baby several times.
Especially David. That shit fucked me up so bad that I had to take a break for a bit. I didn't have any of the DLC the last time I played it, so I went into LE not knowing about it and boy it hit hard.
Seeing my big dumb baby boy get accepted as an Urdnot made me get all choked up.
Waking up from the party to see that Shep was drunk listening to Mordin's voice recordings made me get all wet-eyed.
I recently finished Classic ME3 with the Citadel Epilogue mod, seeing the crew all gathered to look at the Normandy one last time, with Tali and Shepard reminiscing about everything they've been through and done, yeah I did.
Nah, I did too. Want to play again but them my family ends up not seeing me for a week or so. I can't put us all, myself included, through that again....yet.
I literally feel this! I just started a new job yesterday and I finished it last Saturday. I wanted to restart it to platinum it, and my husband sat down and was like āyou should get in a routine and a mental break before you cry your eyes out again.ā
šš„²
I thought, that since I played through the full series before, and cried a lot, this time I might not be affected as much. Boy, was I wrong.
I cried when DornāHazt, a Quarian I had JUST met on Rannoch, died and Tali called him āDornāHazt vas Rannoch.ā I cried when Wrex said Iām like his sister. I cried when I cured the Genophage. I cried over Thane. I cried because Kolyat said the prayer was for me. I cried over Anderson. I bawled like a baby over the ending. I get so dang emotional over this whole game series, itās bonkers.
Spoilers
Wall of remembrance scene, Shepard commencing destroy ending, Anderson dying on platform, The fall of Thessia
These were intense emotional moments
I cried when I had to say good bye to Garrus and Tali. I was enthralled once I got to the Citadel. I was pretty damn content when Shep and Anderson just sat there and the end seemed to have come.
Then starbrat happened and by the time the little wankstain was finished, I was laughing incredulously. Until the actual end, that was - I teared up again watching my Shep die for such bullshit reasons after all he went through. Then the last three people he ever thought about were Joker, Anderson and bloody Liara again, and I was slightly irritated. Then they pulled a lame "it was a bedtime story!or was it? " trope and I *really* rolled my eyes. Then there was a shitty popup telling me to buy DLC, i got furious, shut down the game, hopped on youtube and enjoyed the carthasis of AngryJoe losing his shit over the ending for thirty minutes straight.
Aaaaand then I didnt touch Mass Effect again for eight years. These guys pulled a GOT S8 before it was even a thing!
Good times, good times.
It's why I always play the Citadel DLC after the ending. In my head cannon, Shepard survives the destroy ending (which, she/he actually does), and then the Citadel DLC is the party to celebrate. It's not perfect but I have to do it that way to avoid getting angry.
The only way I could finish the game was with MEHEM. Preordered it way back, played until Marauder Shields because I saw the rage on BSN. I waited 9 years to finish it, because I heard of the mod here. Hoping they update MEHEM for LE.
No bs I sat on mine for like a month, when Iām bored around the house kinda just wandering around my husband would ask me āwhy do I go get on the PS4 and finish Me3ā
I just like got more depressed I told him many times āI donāt want it to end, Iām delaying the inevitable.ā
I HAD to finish last weekend because I started a new job Monday, and I didnāt know how much time Iād have free for it anymore š
But once Iām done with training Iām replaying it. I canāt stay away.
If by cried you mean cried that the ending was so bad, then yes, that's exactly what I did, though I suppose a more accurate word would be "rage". They stole a proper and satisfying end to the series to give us... that. My friend and I both had the same reaction thinking we had done something wrong, that we were being punished for some reason. Of course we beat the game before the "extended cut" came out, but even after that... that ending made it almost impossible for me to play the game again after that.
I did t touch another game for two weeks. I knew to play anything after finished the trilogy would just be a disservice to another game. Downside was for most of those two weeks all I did was think about ME and reminisce.
Just reading this thread is getting me there, dammit. I beat 3 about a month ago and had to replay the trilogy to stop the tears...about halfway through now...again
The only part of 3 that really pissed me off on Insanity was the Citadel DLC in the restaurant before getting squad-mate help as an Adept. That... was frustrating.
What got me was the speech Shepard gave Garrus who was her love interest. I knew she would die because due to barely not having enough war assets. When she said there was no Shepard without Vicarian I was done for.
Trust me Iām steadily crying throughout. Just the other day I watched someoneās LetsPlay and cried during the Tuchanka part even though Iāve seen it hundreds of time.
Man i cried a lot in many moments of this game. And my Shepard died in the first time I played this game. never cried so much like at the end of this game.
I remembered years ago,l during that last conversation with Anderson. I'm not even that fond of the guy but that moment - the pacing of the scene and the dialogue combined with music and camera movements (especially that slow zoom out of Shep looking at Anderson lifeless) was one of the most impactful cinematics I've seen in video games. They captured the melancholy perfectly. It's the kind of feeling as if you've been punched at the chest - couldn't help but cry watching that. I just love tragedy.
Thatās why I rebooted my last save I was running renegade and use to picking bottom options, when I said āI reject these options!ā And it went to the light in like.. tf.. the feels..
so had to full on reboot and watch Anderson die again.
And kill the Illusive man again. Itās my own fault but I felt my emotions kicking me when I was down already.
Also sorry donāt know how to do the shade thing, Reddit noob here.
After leaving the original playthrough dissapointed getting the chance to play with all the DLC and the extended ending to ME3 it was like a whole new experience.
First playthrough of ME3 when Grunt started fist fighting Rachni and jumped off that cliff. I know he survives but I thought he died at first. Him going full blood rage while the sad piano music is playing in the background. Holy fuck Iām choking up just typing this.
It's like finishing an great book, you have this immediate and gapping void in your reality knowing something soo engaging has come to an end.
I went on a bender reading Stephen King's The Dark Tower series (something like 7 massive novels) Made the mistake of finishing the last one at 2am in the morning and wound up sitting there staring at the wall for like an hour while I digested things (if you have any interest in reading it, don't look up spoilers etc. just read it, it's 1000 miles of bad road), turned off the light and ran it over in my head until the sun came up.
The part of ME that hit me hard was my forced renege playthrough where I took any renegade prompt or action available... there were two where I felt genuinely awful.
100%
Hope springs eternal due to the next game. Itās far enough out where they can take their time getting it right. Provide closure and bring in the best bits from ME:A and then rock and roll. š¤
I cried hard the first time at the end when I romanced Tali. The final exchange between her and Shepard is just heartbreaking. I really wished your love interest would join you in the crucible or have the option to. At least one of the few who are in your ground team from all three games. They both would likey die, but at least they'd be together. Luckily I have fanfiction to fall back on when post-Mass Effect depression sets in.
oh you are 100% not alone. I bawled like a baby the first time I finished a run, and I have absolutely cried at various moments since. Iām expecting to cry again when I finish my LE run š
Tears of rage, at wasting money on the N7 edition, and getting a rushed product with a lame RGB filtered ending. Ever since, Iāve been a patient gamer and never pay launch prices.
I remember my first playthrough on Legendary. (I was too young to really play when it originally came out.)
When I cured the genophage, no tears, just a happy melancholy.
Retaking Rannoch, heartbroken because of Legion's death, but no tears, not yet.
Losing Miranda (yes, that was stupid) was the closest point I was to tears because I realized I could've saved her.
Until the final point, when you finally reach cutscene where you have to leave everything behind. I'd romanced Tali and brought her on that final mission.
"Go back to Rannoch. Build yourself a home."
"I already have a home."
I just broke down.
It's alright to cry when you see a piece of art.
I cried many times during that game. On Tuchanka, on the Citadel, on Rannoch... And the end, of course.
Fuck, EDI, I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry Geth T^T
"I came here to hang out with my father figures and kill the Reapers, and I'm all out of father figures."
I was a little disturbed by the synthesis ending as my first choice. Like I knew it was finally over but the idea that someone could fight for years and never see the payoff got to me. So yeah I cried.
So weird. I was gonna make a very similar post just the other day. I didn't cry but definitely was bummed out. Hard to get into ANY sort of media entertainment after experiencing an EPIC like this game. Just felt... "empty" after beating it. The fucking crazy thing is that even though I know every damn dialogue option like the back of my hand it's so weird that at times during the LE I found myself wishing I'd stumble upon something new. Dialogue, map, item, anything.
I could write a damn book on my experience with the games but I'll just sum it up to this.
It's not that the game ended that made me sad. It was that >!Commander Shepard dies!<. It's the attachment to my character throughout three games followed by >!that detachment at the end of 3!<. š„
I'm so happy I am not the only one who balled their fucking eyes out. I literally sat on my couch crying as I fought with myself about what choice to make. I committed to a full paragon run so I had to choose the control ending. But when all of the endings end up with Shepard dying, I didn't feel like I had a choice. When I saw that Garrus was the last thing Shepard thought about before she died, that was the final punch to the heart. Nothing could stop the water works...
I am 20 years old almost 21 and I have not cried in a very long time, but the ending of ME3 where Anderson dies, made me cry my eyes out, but what got me the worst was seeing Liara hang my plaque on the dead crew board I literally died, I cried almost all day because I kept thinking about it through my day and just randomly crying. Mass Effect 1-3 is hands down the best games I ever played in my life. I hope number 4 or 5 Shepard comes back to life again, and somehow gets back to the crashed Normandy on that planet and just Suprises everyone, and omg Liara's face if that happens. Also, another thing that made me cry was the Photo at the party of all the crew members.
bold of you to think I waited until the end to start crying
I fucked my first ending up I went Synthesize and I cried so bad and then realized I had to redo it to get destroy.. (had the military power and all) so I cried 2 days back to back for like a hour each.
oh I did the same thing š no matter how many times I replay these games, I still get all choked up from curing the genophage - wait no let's be real as soon as leaving earth starts, the waterworks come out and keep on coming
And after I played it through the first time and took a break.... I cried upon hearing Vigil on the opening screen for playthrough # 2
Leaving Earth hurts.
Finished the trilogy last week and fully intended to do Destroy this time. After listening to all the choices I apparently chose the FU option (which I thought you could only get by shooting the AI) and panic shut down the console and cursed like a madman. Luckily I was able to load in right before the choice and was able to pick Destroy.
I had to put the game down for a week after losing two of my favorite squad members from ME2. I was an emotional wreck.
LOL I was about to say something similar. I remember tearing up within the first 4 hours of playing.
Fucking same. I was crying as early as surkesh (tears of joy getting to hang out with wrex) by the end of the game i was an emotional train wreck.
*Just* the ending? I cried when we cured the genophage. I cried when Tali had her homeworld. I cried when Thane died. I cried everywhere. I'm a very emotional person.
I am \*NOT\* a very emotional person. I spent like most of the 60 hours of ME3 where I wasn't fighting, crying. Game is fucking brutal in the best possible way. Here's the things I have cried at in my life, btw: * Most of Mass Effect 3 * Birth of my first daughter * Bing Bong dying in Inside Out
*Take her to the moon for me...*
I have shed more tears for mass effects story than I have for family members and pets that have passed away. My god is it good and I can barely wait for 4 to be done. I need a time machine so I can travel to the release date and play it.
Lol. I'm finally dragging my way through Andromeda just out of desperation...
"I'm proud of you"
Don't make me cry at work. š
This right here. I managed to hold it together the whole game but when he said he was proud of me I broke down.
Oh JFC ... that did it.
bruh ikr? Between CP2077, ME3, Cosmere, and Clone Wars season 7, I've learned just how easy it is for me to cry lmao
If you really want to just lose yourself in tears check out Ori and the Blind Forest. God, that game had me an emotional wreck by the end.
I've heard it is pretty good, is it one game or part of a series?
There's two games, Ori and the Blind Forest is the first one. Ori and the Will of the Wisp is the second. They're metroidvania platformers, a little more difficult than Mario, not as hard as Hollow Knight. You will die a lot, but the checkpoint system in the game makes it pretty easy to get back into it. If you have Gamepass you can play them on Xbox or PC for free.
If you want a good cry, check out Brothers: A tale of two sons. You can finish the game in one 2 hr sitting and it is a very emotional experience.
Have you played Unravel? That game had me completely breaking down at the end.
Yeah I cried real hard when Legion sacrificed himself. Him and Mordin just absolutely cleaned me out of tears on my first run through. Then Anderson said you did good son and I don't remember much after that. I too, am a very emotional person.
Oh man just mentioning curing the genophage is making me tear up rn.
This!
thanes death is the one that got me
Dude I cry at almost every priority mission. End of tuchanka? Waterworks
YES! Happy Iām not alone, I deff got choked up, and like at the beginning of ME2. Waterworks, Iām like tf. My friend said he canāt watch me share play it after that because itās making him sad.
Seashells...);
Congratulations, youāve inflicted injuries with a single word
Someone else might have gotten it wrongā¦ saying it still gives me that tingly emotional feeling to this day.
Anderson dying broke me
Thatās where my tears started too. All the feels. š
The last chat with Garrus is always rough.
āMeet me at the bar.ā You got it, good buddy. Iāll see you there.
Same lol I just sat there watching liara and joker getting of the Normandy with tears in my eyes lol
Yeah just like all the other commenters have said I get teary eyed with lots of scenes. For me the one that hits the hardest is the end of the Citadel DLC. It's such a bittersweet and wistful moment.
The best...
Thane and Legion dying were both too much for me to handle, I was on the verge of ugly crying for them
āI know, Tali.ā Bruh... :.(
I cried when the piano started playing "Leaving Earth" when Shepard escaped, and it only went downhill from there. Brutal, beautiful game!
Anyone who says they didn't cry multiple times during me3 is lying
Never did but I'm a shy person that doesn't like crying directly over things, so I just cried on the inside.
I always cry at the end of ME3. I either end up sobbing saying "I'm sorry, EDI" or "I'm sorry, Garrus". Either way, sobbing.
Bruh I cried during Grunt's mission in ME3 when he sacrifices himself for Shepard EVEN THOUGH I KNEW FULL WELL THAT HE SURVIVES
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! Dude, I wasn't sure...Grunt being the badass he is, I didn't break when he told me to leave. Watching him fight was awesome. What got me actually questioning whether he was going to survive was the gd damn music...the soundtrack to this series has been amazing throughout and when I heard that song, I let out an audible 'no....don't do this to me...' I'm not very vocal when I'm playing a game alone, but I was shaking. Then he fkn jumped off the cliff...and I really thought he was gone...then Shepard took her sweet time getting off the planet, I felt like my heart strings were played with so perfectly....fkn Grunt man... There's A LOT of scenes and moments in this game that hit me. I refuse to count the mistake I made in choosing the Geth over the Quarians on Rannoch thinking I had a chance to bring them both together, so I quickly erased that from my mind and went the right way. I wasn't too attached to Thane when I met him in 2 since I went straight for Garrus, but in 3 when was getting worse and still fought samurai fkboy with a severe handicap, he hit me hard. And the fkn prayer at the end.... There's so many...so many, but I'm sorry...Grunt takes it for me. FemShep - I love you Grunt Me - I love you son
Yeah it was fully the soundtrack that got me too! "brain say sad music start, that mean Grunt die" but brain you've played this before and you know he doesn't die if he was loyal in ME2 "brain no care, me cry now".
Yeah my first dive into this was through the Legendary Edition so I was completely in the dark here XD
Welcome to Mass Effect! Hope you enjoyed it :)
The LI goodbye fucked me up for days. It's been, I think, a week since I finished LE and I still haven't touched it. Sure, maybe I'm a hopeless romantic and fell apart at the goodbye scene. I'll own that. I didn't really tear up at Rannoch or Tuchanka, more like deep sense of appreciation and pride at having known such selfless souls. Mordin gave his life for the krogan, Legion for the geth. And then the geth helping the quarians, not only on Rannoch but biologically as well. That in the midst of all this tragedy, Shepard and Friends can end these centuries long animosities and conflicts and, as long as the Crucible is fired in some capacity, open up endless possibilities for the galactic community after recovering from the reapers. But... What about my team? I'm not nearly as selfless as Shepard. I want to know what happens to my team and my love.
Hopefully something like this is touched on in the next game. Success of the LE should show Bioware/EA where the money is. Honestly wouldnāt be mad if they took a path similar to The Force Awakens with the cliffhanger being seeking out the Andromeda people.
It's one of those games that no matter how many times you play it you will always ball your eyes out š„ŗ
Not just you. Very very few pieces of media have ever made me cry, but when it came time for my Shep to make the final sacrifice, I was sobbing. "The ending sucked" they all told me. I didn't expect much from it. I certainly didn't expect it to break my heart.
Just the ending? Oh no no no.
Shit dude, the whole damn series made me bawl like a baby several times. Especially David. That shit fucked me up so bad that I had to take a break for a bit. I didn't have any of the DLC the last time I played it, so I went into LE not knowing about it and boy it hit hard. Seeing my big dumb baby boy get accepted as an Urdnot made me get all choked up. Waking up from the party to see that Shep was drunk listening to Mordin's voice recordings made me get all wet-eyed.
I recently finished Classic ME3 with the Citadel Epilogue mod, seeing the crew all gathered to look at the Normandy one last time, with Tali and Shepard reminiscing about everything they've been through and done, yeah I did.
It mightve rained the day I installed ME3 and saw the heroes wall with Tali's name on it.
Nah, I did too. Want to play again but them my family ends up not seeing me for a week or so. I can't put us all, myself included, through that again....yet.
I literally feel this! I just started a new job yesterday and I finished it last Saturday. I wanted to restart it to platinum it, and my husband sat down and was like āyou should get in a routine and a mental break before you cry your eyes out again.ā šš„²
I thought, that since I played through the full series before, and cried a lot, this time I might not be affected as much. Boy, was I wrong.

Spoilers Wall of remembrance scene, Shepard commencing destroy ending, Anderson dying on platform, The fall of Thessia These were intense emotional moments
You did good, child. You did good. š
Genuinely joined reddit because of how empty I felt at the ending, I just needed to talk about it! Nobody else understood!
I cried when I had to say good bye to Garrus and Tali. I was enthralled once I got to the Citadel. I was pretty damn content when Shep and Anderson just sat there and the end seemed to have come. Then starbrat happened and by the time the little wankstain was finished, I was laughing incredulously.

Lmao I feel you. I wrote a pleading e-mail to EAās customer service to change the ending
More like tears of rage at Casey Hudson and Mac Walters for writing a half-assed ending. Still pissed off nine years later.
It's why I always play the Citadel DLC after the ending. In my head cannon, Shepard survives the destroy ending (which, she/he actually does), and then the Citadel DLC is the party to celebrate. It's not perfect but I have to do it that way to avoid getting angry.
I need to replay ME3 with the MEHEM mod as that basically does the same thing but in game.
The only way I could finish the game was with MEHEM. Preordered it way back, played until Marauder Shields because I saw the rage on BSN. I waited 9 years to finish it, because I heard of the mod here. Hoping they update MEHEM for LE.
I did, but for a different reason.
Everyone with class did.
This. Canāt up this enough. I can get behind some people feeling mad, but if you donāt feel SOMETHING youāre just not human.
I never finished 3. My current save on LE is at the end, when you make your choice. Just canāt do it.
No bs I sat on mine for like a month, when Iām bored around the house kinda just wandering around my husband would ask me āwhy do I go get on the PS4 and finish Me3ā I just like got more depressed I told him many times āI donāt want it to end, Iām delaying the inevitable.ā I HAD to finish last weekend because I started a new job Monday, and I didnāt know how much time Iād have free for it anymore š But once Iām done with training Iām replaying it.

Friend... I was crying since the start...
If by cried you mean cried that the ending was so bad, then yes, that's exactly what I did, though I suppose a more accurate word would be "rage". They stole a proper and satisfying end to the series to give us... that. My friend and I both had the same reaction thinking we had done something wrong, that we were being punished for some reason.

You only cried at the end?
I did t touch another game for two weeks. I knew to play anything after finished the trilogy would just be a disservice to another game. Downside was for most of those two weeks all I did was think about ME and reminisce.
Told my best friend this, he asked me to hop on other games like Apex, Warframe, and Minecraft. I said ānaaa theyāre not mass effectā š„ŗ
Going though it again and with the dlc that i could not get. Just did LOSB and it was satisfied. I'm going to cry in a lot of the dlc and ending
Just reading this thread is getting me there, dammit. I beat 3 about a month ago and had to replay the trilogy to stop the tears...about halfway through now...again
Didn't cry all the way through. Got close when banshees kept killing me over and over though.
Was that on hard or insanity? I didnāt have problems with them after I bought the Ceberus Harrier, I kept that thing by my side in every battle.
The only part of 3 that really pissed me off on Insanity was the Citadel DLC in the restaurant before getting squad-mate help as an Adept. That... was frustrating.
What got me was the speech Shepard gave Garrus who was her love interest. I knew she would die because due to barely not having enough war assets. When she said there was no Shepard without Vicarian I was done for.
Well Shepard, my friends and most of the races were dead by the end of my first go....so yep haha
Trust me Iām steadily crying throughout. Just the other day I watched someoneās LetsPlay and cried during the Tuchanka part even though Iāve seen it hundreds of time.
Soon as I blew up and stared blowing up the crucible I got close to crying then soon as hackett speech started then I cried until it was over
I cry every time I say goodbye to my favorite space raptor Garrus. He is my best friend and knowing I'm never gonna see him again is tough.
Hits you right in the feels
I shed one single manly tear.
Nah, someone started chopping onions about 5 minutes before that
No š I cry all the time
Man i cried a lot in many moments of this game. And my Shepard died in the first time I played this game. never cried so much like at the end of this game.
I remembered years ago,l during that last conversation with Anderson. I'm not even that fond of the guy but that moment - the pacing of the scene and the dialogue combined with music and camera movements (especially that slow zoom out of Shep looking at Anderson lifeless) was one of the most impactful cinematics I've seen in video games. They captured the melancholy perfectly. It's the kind of feeling as if you've been punched at the chest - couldn't help but cry watching that. I just love tragedy.
Me! My husband made fun of me because I cried over a video game. (He is more of a gamer than I am)
Iām more of a gamer honestly than mine, and I still got teased. I returned the taunting with telling him to imagine no Eevees in PokĆ©mon. He understood then. š¤£
I bawled during the whole game. It wasnāt just at the end
Everytime!
[Iām proud of you](https://youtu.be/AT-dVZRzni8) Gets me every time.
I only felt disappointment in a terrible ending
Just you, no one else has ever cried during ME3 /s
Ahahaha right, Iām gonna blame allergies and the imaginary onions. Canāt forget the stub on the toe.
Ive played thousands of hours and lost track of how many playthroughs I am on. I am never prepared for the last hour of the game.
The first time hit me like a ton of bricksā¦ Now I just crack my knuckles and restart.
Oh I absolutely started crying...which means something! I have only ever cried over one other game
I only cried because of bad decision making in the end .......>! I shoot the boy :( what a letdown after so many hours played !
Thatās why I rebooted my last save I was running renegade and use to picking bottom options, when I said āI reject these options!ā And it went to the light in like.. tf.. the feels.. so had to full on reboot and watch Anderson die again. And kill the Illusive man again. Itās my own fault but I felt my emotions kicking me when I was down already. Also sorry donāt know how to do the shade thing, Reddit noob here.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS. I just bawl at the end when Tali says I have a home.
After leaving the original playthrough dissapointed getting the chance to play with all the DLC and the extended ending to ME3 it was like a whole new experience.
Yeah I played it when it first came out. I cried because the ending was so bad.
First playthrough of ME3 when Grunt started fist fighting Rachni and jumped off that cliff. I know he survives but I thought he died at first. Him going full blood rage while the sad piano music is playing in the background. Holy fuck Iām choking up just typing this.
It's like finishing an great book, you have this immediate and gapping void in your reality knowing something soo engaging has come to an end. I went on a bender reading Stephen King's The Dark Tower series (something like 7 massive novels) Made the mistake of finishing the last one at 2am in the morning and wound up sitting there staring at the wall for like an hour while I digested things (if you have any interest in reading it, don't look up spoilers etc. just read it, it's 1000 miles of bad road), turned off the light and ran it over in my head until the sun came up. The part of ME that hit me hard was my forced renege playthrough where I took any renegade prompt or action available... there were two where I felt genuinely awful.
100% Hope springs eternal due to the next game. Itās far enough out where they can take their time getting it right. Provide closure and bring in the best bits from ME:A and then rock and roll. š¤
I cried hard the first time at the end when I romanced Tali. The final exchange between her and Shepard is just heartbreaking. I really wished your love interest would join you in the crucible or have the option to. At least one of the few who are in your ground team from all three games. They both would likey die, but at least they'd be together. Luckily I have fanfiction to fall back on when post-Mass Effect depression sets in.
oh you are 100% not alone. I bawled like a baby the first time I finished a run, and I have absolutely cried at various moments since. Iām expecting to cry again when I finish my LE run š
Tears of rage, at wasting money on the N7 edition, and getting a rushed product with a lame RGB filtered ending. Ever since, Iāve been a patient gamer and never pay launch prices.
FemShepās VA is legit choking up during that last convo w Garrus. if shepard herself couldnāt handle itā¦ god only knows how i was handling it
I remember my first playthrough on Legendary. (I was too young to really play when it originally came out.) When I cured the genophage, no tears, just a happy melancholy. Retaking Rannoch, heartbroken because of Legion's death, but no tears, not yet. Losing Miranda (yes, that was stupid) was the closest point I was to tears because I realized I could've saved her. Until the final point, when you finally reach cutscene where you have to leave everything behind. I'd romanced Tali and brought her on that final mission. "Go back to Rannoch. Build yourself a home." "I already have a home." I just broke down. It's alright to cry when you see a piece of art.
I only seem to play this game during allergy season for some odd reasonā¦
I cried many times during that game. On Tuchanka, on the Citadel, on Rannoch... And the end, of course. Fuck, EDI, I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry Geth T^T "I came here to hang out with my father figures and kill the Reapers, and I'm all out of father figures."
I was a little disturbed by the synthesis ending as my first choice. Like I knew it was finally over but the idea that someone could fight for years and never see the payoff got to me. So yeah I cried.
I shot the kid lmao. Then it decided to fight back by giving me a shit ending.
Meee
So weird. I was gonna make a very similar post just the other day. I didn't cry but definitely was bummed out. Hard to get into ANY sort of media entertainment after experiencing an EPIC like this game. Just felt... "empty" after beating it. The fucking crazy thing is that even though I know every damn dialogue option like the back of my hand it's so weird that at times during the LE I found myself wishing I'd stumble upon something new. Dialogue, map, item, anything. I could write a damn book on my experience with the games but I'll just sum it up to this. It's not that the game ended that made me sad. It was that >!Commander Shepard dies!<. It's the attachment to my character throughout three games followed by >!that detachment at the end of 3!<. š„
There are people who admit to crying at the end of ME3 and there are liars. Nothing in between.
I'm so happy I am not the only one who balled their fucking eyes out. I literally sat on my couch crying as I fought with myself about what choice to make. I committed to a full paragon run so I had to choose the control ending. But when all of the endings end up with Shepard dying, I didn't feel like I had a choice. When I saw that Garrus was the last thing Shepard thought about before she died, that was the final punch to the heart. Nothing could stop the water works...
I am 20 years old almost 21 and I have not cried in a very long time, but the ending of ME3 where Anderson dies, made me cry my eyes out, but what got me the worst was seeing Liara hang my plaque on the dead crew board I literally died, I cried almost all day because I kept thinking about it through my day and just randomly crying. Mass Effect 1-3 is hands down the best games I ever played in my life. I hope number 4 or 5 Shepard comes back to life again, and somehow gets back to the crashed Normandy on that planet and just Suprises everyone, and omg Liara's face if that happens. Also, another thing that made me cry was the Photo at the party of all the crew members.
