No. If the ending is not fixed they get no more of my money
I have all the ME books sans Deception
I have 2 t shirts and a hoodie
I have the comic books
I have all 3 games and every DLC except Pinnacle station
I have DA:O and DA2
I have KOTOR

My next Game was going to be the new Star Wars MMO. Not anymore
I get bored in Skyrim but I also have no illusions about what t is or will be based on what the developers have said.

Bioware committed consumer Fraud. They promised 16 endings. We got 3.

No Freaking Way!

Unless the endings are fixed, I need closure.

It just depends on the game. I wasn't planning on getting C&C as I'm a bit burned out on RTS games. As for future BW RPG games... it just depends. BW is seemingly great at making a fun game to play but can't seal the deal with the game finish. I greatly enjoyed DA2 though I was a little meh on the ending. Didn't hate it or anything  though I only side with the mages either because I was a mage or I was defending Hawke's sister. The technical issues weren't as bad on 360 and they were mostly fixed so I am actually looking forward to DA3. Will I pre-order it? I just don't know. As for ME3, again, a very fun and enjoyable game. I even got the ending I wanted since ME1, Reapers destroyed, Shepard alive (apparently) but the total lack of closure for Shep and the companions is just confusing more than enraging for me at this point.

Basically, BW has taken the past 2 games they made which could've been great and degraded them to being merely good or OK with their endings... IMO at least.

no, the one thing i have loved with Bioware games was the characters, and after how they just left stranded on a random planet my favorite ones after 3 games of building up relationships i will not fall prey to them again, if much i might buy another bioware game when it's 9.99$ used in gamestop

Pre-order, no more. Buy, maybe, but at half price.

Preorder? No. Buy? Maybe after checking out what people think of it.

Bioware used to be a seal of quality that meant I would preorder the games without hesitation, now ME3's ending has forever tainted that.

As a fan since Baldur's Gate, this is the first time I'll actually wait on buying a BioWare game...which I never thought I'd say. I will be extremely cautious from now on and will see what fans have to say about future games.

 After the blandness of ME 2's combat and powers. After the generic ending to Witch Hunt that paid no heed to my choices in DAO regarding Morrigan, and then after the final chapter of DA2 that ignored all my pro mage choices up until that point. I had already said that this would be my Last Bioware game as They had shown the were getting increasingly lazy when it came to game production.

I was buying simply to finish the story I started with me as Shep. I was dissapointed that combat still felt as bland as 2, I was more dissapointed that omnitools meant nothing as there were no more hacking minigames ( I guess because EA's target CoD audience doesn't have the patience for them and can't quickscope them) But ME 3 was actually a very well written story and I could forgive the flaws of the lazy fetch and scan quests, the Geth Server requiring me to shoot a gun at code rather than use an Omni tool to hack it ( which would make more sense in the context of the Game's lore). I forgave the fact that we started with a mission hub on the Palaven Moon, even if the missions were short, But then for the next few worlds there was no mission hub. This seemed lazy. Then on Thessia there was only one mission? This seemed even lazier. But this was forgiveable for the actual storytelling that was unfolding before me.

But the ending as stands which really is so lazy and really does come across as Bioware saying to all the fans " You whined about the Mako, you whined about Thermal Clips, You whined about DA2, Well eat this you losers! We got your money! We got your money!"

That ending is unforgiveable. Some people say that that there should be no expectation for them to rewrite the ending, but unfortunately Bioware sold their souls to the one company that already did that with Army of Two when the rewrote the showdown with the Final Boss.

But this will still be my last ever Bioware purchase, and If I can help it EA purchase. What EA does to gaming is utter without conscience and unforgiveable.

I won't buy another EA or Bioware product until this whole mess is resolved.

I have been a loyal customer since the Infinity Engine games, I bought a Normandy model and a bunch of clothing, books, collector's editions of the games.. And now I feel like whatever game they come up with, I'll be disappointed, so what's the point of spending my hard earned money if I'm going to regret even playing the game?

If they fix the ME3 ending, I'll most likely forgive and forget and get suckered into buying more games and DLC from them. Win-win..

No. Not after DA2, and definitely not after how they ended ME3. Depending on how they handle the ending situation in the coming months (they aren't doing so hot right now), they will restore a little faith, but the trust has been broken. If I do think about buying a BioWare game, then I'll spend about a month or two reading GAMER/READER reviews and doing my own research. I don't trust the so-called gaming press (IGN) anymore.

I posted this in another thread and surprisingly; it fits here too.

Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal
Neverwinter Nights
Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide
Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Jade Empire
Mass Effect
Mass Effect - Bringing Down the Sky
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 2 - Lair of the Shadow Broker
Mass Effect 2 - Overlord
Mass Effect 2 - Arrival
Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening
Dragon Age: Origins - Leilana's Song
Dragon Age: Origins - Witch Hunt
Dragon Age: Origins - Golems

I still remember the day I bought Baldur's Gate back in 1999. I had no idea what to expect at the time but even now, still remember the feeling I had the first few hours of playing: creating a character, leaving Candlekeep, meeting Minsc and Boo. It was the best.

I still own and play each of these games when the mood strikes. I still own Mass Effect 3 as well. Can't put it on the list as is because I really don't think I will play again. ME and ME2 may soon follow because whats the point? Sad day.

I hate to say it, but I likely will not stop at pre-orders; I'll just be done with all new games from them. The magic of a Bioware game (for me) has always been the characters. Even if a future Bioware game shows to have stellar reviews a few years after release, whats the point of investing time when later sequels do what ME3 just did?

Yes. Bioware still makes great products. I am not going to sit here and say ME 3 was a terrible game. Yes the ending left me dissapointed but I'm not going to completely ignore the fact that the rest of the 34 hours I put into it were amazing and I enjoyed immensely.

Waiting for fan reviews on the next product. Professional reviewing sites bankrupted their legitimacy with this game. Mind you, I never read them much to begin with, but if anyone ever doubted that professional reviewers are easy to please idiots who don't finish the games they review, then ME3 is pretty much a case in point.

All these 100's, all these 90's, what a joke.

EDIT:
Actually, wth am I saying. I never intended to fund EA any further to begin with. Too bad for Bioware, but ME3 was the last EA title I intended to buy and I'm sticking to that.

Never Pre-Ordering again, if they don't fix the endings, I will never buy anything from Bioware again.

No more pre-orders. Perhaps very cautious and tentative buying in the future only after youtube perusals of the gameplay and the user reviews. I'm not one to usually buy DLC anyways, I tend to like my games self-contained, independent experiences. Boy, was that a mistake this time around.

 If the game would seem to be something I might like yeah, sure. I'd preorder it. They haven't let me down that bad. Sure DA2 wasn't as good as DAO but it was still a great game and I enjoyed it. As far as ME3 goes, that game was also one of the best games I've ever played. There were few flaws but nothing that would make me hate or question Biowares ability to make great games. And I'm sure they will listen to their fanbase and remember all the criticism they've got considering DA2 and ME3 and they will learn from it.

Absolutely, I intend to continue to buy any and all BioWare products released in the future if the concepts pique my interest. ME1/2/3 were excellent, the endings were fine, and I'm not a goddamn whiner who's blowing everything out of proportion.

No, this was most likely the last time I pre-ordered I guess. Next time I'll watch out for community reactions before I buy something.

Can't even trust the so called professional gaming press, no one warned me how unsatisfying ME3 can be. The German magazine I used to read (used to, you clowns!) even praised how fulfilling the ending was and that no question was left unanswered.

I've been a huge Bioware fan for a decade, but after first not being able to import my Shepard and then the horrendous ending, I won't be burned again. I might buy another Bioware product, but I will be waiting until after it comes out and people have played it. I won't pre-order anything again.
