Beat the game, will hold off giving my opinion of the ending. I'll say this, I'm with the masses on this one...

Might as well have been called 'Mass Affect'.

I just broke my own heart playing this game. Easily the best moment in the series so far.

My mind keeps going back to what are my saddest moments in the series, in ME3 when an ally has accepted his fate and is waiting for his end.

First getting Thane's message, seeing him in the hospital and hearing his plight. Then...after the Cerberus attack on the Citadel and visiting him and his son in the hospital again, god that was terribly brutal.

Matsu and I chatted about it a bit...the scene is just so well set up and everything is delivered so perfectly. I'd be lying if I said it didn't really shake me up, bringing up a lot of sadness from this past summer, and it also gave me pause to appreciate how a game could do this more effectively that movies and tv shows I've seen since then as well.

When Liara talks to Shepard personally about creating time capsules for the next cycle to find, in case they don't beat the reapers.

Mordin. It was bittersweet, but he was an awesome character and it was sad to see him go.

Bingo for me.

I also found it pretty sad that the entire game there was that one girl waiting for her parents in the docking bay... They probably won't be making it.

I forgot about that, and I agree. Total bummer.

I love the whole "Marauder Shields" meme that popped up recently (ending spoilers)

RIP Maurauder Shields. You tried to save us all from the ending.

Oh no!

She probably died when the reapers took the citadel, too

Really? It was really tough to see him go but Shepard was so compliant and dull (in terms of his voice and words) that the impact of the scene was really lost. In both cases, however, much awesome was achieved to really make their sacrifices visceral

The thing was he was my second favorite companion. Garrus was #1 with a bullet. Never left the Normandy without him.

The dialogue and overall handling of the Ardat-Yakshi mission was TERRIBLE! Oh man, I was laughing so much at the line delivery and the threat of enemies...oh no! 3 banshees! Help! Seriously, very incongruous with he rest of this game's far more penetrating dialogue.
