If they don't fix this "ending", ME3 will be the last game I ever buy from Bioware. I'll already have a huge backlog of games to play, I don't need to more to the list.

[Mizar_Panzar]

I would certainly not pre-order another Bioware game.

I will still buy their game, but only if it is on 33% sale during some sale event.

[theshuo]

Definitely no preorder, purchase will depend on how ME3 is handled.

[din626]

After this? Most likely not, no. After seeing things go downhill with DA:2 and further with ME:3 I wont bother preordering stuff again. When sales roll round maybe, but rather than sitting and allowing myself to sink into whatever world Bioware comes up with I'm going to... well I think Forbes summed it up best akin to M Night Shamalyan. "Oh god where's he going to screw it up?"

I am just personally curious how many people would be ok with buying (or pre-order) another product from BioWare?

This post is not to bash BioWare or be rude to anyone that has an opinion.

My personal thoughts are....

I
LOVE BioWare games BUT with DragonAge 2 and now the ending for Mass
Effect 3 I will be very cautious on the next game they come out with.

Usually
if it had BioWare'a name on it, I would pre-order on day one and try to
get the Collector's Edition. But now with what has happened in the past
few years I would NOT pre-order any BioWare games. I would
probably still by the game but I would wait a few weeks for I did so.

Is
there anyone else that feels the same as I do? Or do you still have
faith in BioWare and will still pre-order/buy their games on day 1?

If
so many people feel like I do, then I hope BioWare sees this as some
sort of proof that the decision they are making are not good ones and
they are losing customers.


EDIT: After 15mins of posting this, there are 3 pages already! And without being nasty to each other! [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/smile.png[/smilie]
Thank you very much for taking the time and posting your answer and your thoughts! 

If
we had a good ending for Mass Effect 3 then we would be seeing posts
 like “Hell yes I would pre-order another BioWare game and anything they
put out!” or “I cannot wait to see what BioWare comes out with next!!!”
OR even seeing many threads about the next Mass Effect game OR MMO!

I REALLY wished we could have seen that instead of what is going on now!

If they fix ending ME3, maybe i will buy another Bioware games (i should say EA games, this is no longer bioware, especially when Drew Karpyshyn left company) but for sure i won't buy it in pre-order, NO MORE PRE-ORDER FOR BIOWARE. It's not worth it.


@down i agree with 100000%

I'll wait and read reviews and hear people's opinions if it's worth my money.

[Daradain]

Alas, I was a fan of both the Dragon Age series and the Mass Effect trilogy. Dragon Age 2 was a total screw-up in my eyes, and the horribly done ending for Mass Effect 3 has put the nail in the coffin. I still love BioWare, and I hope they continue to make amazing RPGs, but I will no longer be pre-ordering their merchandize. They have abused my trust, ergo I will no longer trust them with a pre-order. If their next game receives good community review, then I will happily buy it, but from now on I will be approaching BioWare titles with wariness.

[Lietuvis]

No, i would find other ways to get the game, and i would only buy the game if it proves to be worth the money.

[ManOfSteeL1618]

Nope.

If they don't change this ending I am done with Bioware.

If they change the ending and it is NOT FREE, I am done with Bioware.

If they fix this with DLC that is free of charge, I'm back in and will continue to support them.

[Zenny Merc]

Hard to say, however right now its a very strong no, they need to work to rebuild trust.

[Palladin123]

Of course not. I still respect Bioware and its team as a game developer, but after DA2 and ME3's ending. I'm going to do a lot more research before I buy any other game from them. They'll need to release another 2-3 titles with the old Bioware quality before I can trust them the way I used to.

Pre-Order? Probably not.

The only games I've pre-ordered for the PC in the last year or so has been Skyrim and ME3.

Skyrim I am quite happy with and ME3 was great... up until it ended about 10 hours earlier than I had expected and in a what that was quite disappointing.

I would probably buy another BioWare game at some point in the future, but only after it had came out and had been thoroughly reviewed by both the paid-for gaming press and the gaming fan community so I knew I would be getting my money's worth with the game purchase.

But I wouldn't blindly pre-order one again, not after the way they've been dropping the ball at the end of things in recent years.

[Sashimi_taco]

I'm never going to buy another bioware game or product again unless they fix this.

As I said earlier:

Anyone that has criticized BioWare for how they have handled Mass Effect 3 are shameful if they pre-order another game from them. If you complain, and feel they wronged you....turning around and buying DLC + Pre-Ordering their games is rolling over (like Shepard did in the end) and encourages them to continue what they are doing.

I get not everyone will boycott buying new games, that's fine. But logically, why would ANYONE pre-order another game from them (if you were upset with ME3). BioWare has proven they can't be trusted in their current state as a company. What they say about a game prior to release can't be trusted. 

Not only should people stop pre-ordering, they should be weary of the gaming journalists that review games. It's been made clear that they are biased as they get paid from these gaming companies. At the very least if you are going to buy again from them, hold off and see what other people are saying. BioWare and the gaming journalists they pay can no longer be trusted.

And of course, I only say this to those that are upset with how ME3 played out (not just the story, but how the company went about marketing the game prior to release, and how they have handled things after all of this). My post is not aimed at those that don't feel wronged. 

What difference does it make if you pre-order or just "order"?

I think people buy games they hope they will enjoy playing. The vast majority of people who buy most games never even finish them.

Personally, I enjoyed the ME3 ending. Even if I hadn't, I don't see why it would influence any future purchase decisions. 

Next Bioware game -> play the demo -> then decide whether it the gameplay is fun or not. If the next game has a crappy ending but provides 50+ hours of enjoyable gameplay, it's not a bad value.

Mentioned it before, but this is 3rd strike territory for me. DA:2 was a dissapointment, as was SWTOR and now this. Even if they fix this (there are more problems with it than just the end) I won't be preordering anything I don't have direct experience with. In fact, when it comes to future BW products I will probably be renting first and only buying if it truly delivers.

[Scipio000]

I was recently spouting about how much I liked Bioware, but it was the WAY in which I felt betrayed by ME3 that I will not purchase/ pre-order unless it is fixed. That will change if they do fix it.

[Strange Aeons]

No, unless the ending of ME3 is expanded to incorporate player interaction in a more meaningful way that reflects your previous choices and accomplishments and does not clash entirely with the tone of the previous games.

Look, the only thing corporations listen to is their bottom line, and the only way to affect that is by voting with your wallet. They're not your friends, and their only duty is to their shareholders. I suspect that Bioware has only grudgingly acknowledged the fan discontent because the scope of the unrest and bad publicity is making EA genuinely uneasy. No company wants to be associated with a vocal protest movement no matter how much of a minority it represents, so right now they're trying to mollify the loudest critics without actually promising anything tangible in order to buy enough time for the discontent to fade.

I'm not under the delusion that anything I do individually will matter. Still, I cannot in good conscience continue to support a company after such a complete abdication of creative responsibility unless the problem is acknowledged and fixed. Obviously, everyone doesn't agree with me about the ending; they're free to do whatever they want, too.

[Zing Freelancer]

So far I am expecting Dragon Age 3 and Command & Conquer Generals from Bioware, these games hold no value to me. There is also SWTOR which I got fed up with pretty quickly, MMO is not my thing. I wanted to try SWTOR out, but also because I needed something to do until ME3 got released.

A brand new space opera RPG game? I don't really know, maybe FPS instead? Less story and more action so that I can have fun without being emotionally invested and subsequently emotionally destroyed.

[Dark Specie]

Preorder? Not after the ME3 endings. Buy? Maybe when the price has dropped...

[Auztin]

Depends

[Liber320]

Depends on how they handle the ending.

[HenchxNarf]

Of course I will. Even if I DID hate the ending, I'm still a fan and I still love the game. However, I loved the ending to the game. And I'm still a huge fan, and have been since NWN.

[Penguinlover]

Yes, Bioware have still made some of the best games ever. Though I hated the ending so much, the rest of the game was so amazing and I am still glad I played it. However, I won't pre-order DA3, not after how DA2 turned out. Seriously, do EA not give you enough time to finish your games and you have to rush them?

I want believe I can trust bioware again. I know they will make things right.

[PeterBazooka]

After the mess that was Dragon Age II and the terrible ending to Mass Effect why would I?
