I cannot say that, no. If they make good games, I'll buy them. I am not a Bioware fan, I am a fan of some of their games.

I'll be more careful about preorders though.

Having said that, I would've bought ME3 even if I had known about the endings in advance. It makes a difference to see things on your own screen, and I would've never thought the ending could be *this* bad. I guess I'm somewhat cured of that attitude.

In all honesty, if the endings are left standing, I would not buy another game of any kind from Bioware and  ---especially--- would not buy ME4. I am a very firm believer in consumers voting with their wallet, and the fact that this ending was even considered as a great idea (let alone saw the light of day) does not give me any faith whatsoever in their ability to produce a good RPG anymore. I'll find other places to spend my precious video gaming dollars.

Considering how poorly they've handled (or not handled) the consumer response to ME3 so far, even if they do fix ME3 and provide better, more logical endings, I am still going to view every future game of theirs with a caution I didn't have before. I don't want to spend absurd amounts of my free time begging the developer to write the proper, rational endings (plural!) to their saga they promised. Having to endlessly explain the absurd plot holes they foisted on me.

I don't want to get attached to a universe and characters again only to have such an intellectually offensive ending dumped on me that completely disrupts my immersion in the game world. I want to be playing my video games, escaping all the stupid and horrible things going on in the real world I have to deal with every day and can't fix.

I am a very long time fan of Bioware. Baldur's Gate, the original KOTOR, the ME games - I bought Dragon Age cold, without seeing a single review, trusting entirely on their reputation + how much I had enjoyed their prior games. Their RPG's have been a wonderful escape, drawing me into the world's they've created and connecting me to the characters. This was the one video game company I utterly respected.

I don't any more. And the next week or two will determine if I have any respect left, or if they earn some back. The ball is in their court.

I won't say never at this point, I am waiting to see how the ME3 ending debacle turns out.

It will be their handling of this which decides any future purchases. I simply cannot comprehend them not fixing the ending, this game is too important to the medium as a whole to let it end like it does. This is supposed to be this generation's Star Wars, would you really let Star Wars end with Jar Jar Binks dry humping the evil emperor to death?

Should they play it badly, with more arrogant press releases and continued insults to the fan base, I will buy the ME3 ending for my own peace of mind then say a sorry farewell to my favourite game makers. I cannot stand by a company with business practices like this. If they are pulling the biggest PR bluff of the century and unlock the ending for free for everybody, they will not be able to take my cash fast enough. If they come out with something along the lines of "we are terribly sorry, please take this newly developed ending which we wrote with your feedback, can you please help us recover the cost involved in hiring all the voice actors?" I will treat their future releases as I do now: if they interest me, I will take the leap of faith because Bioware, whatever the flaws, on the whole make damn good games.

If they don't fix the ending? I won't be buying anything from the Mass Effect team. It seems unfair to the guys in the Dragon Age team to punish them for others' mistakes. Their forums are currently very positive, and their staff active in communicating with the fan base in regards to repairing the damage to the franchise DA2 did. The lack of communication over here is nothing short of disgraceful.

[Robhuzz]

No I cannot say that. I'm not blindly cancelling my TOR subscription or forswearing DA3 because they are made by different teams, and different teams have different ideas. However, NEVER again will a BioWare game be a first day purchase for me from now on.

From now on I'll wait for the reviews before deciding.

Sad part is, even the reviews are not objective. I saw several in the time period between USA and Europe launch and not a single review said anything about the endings. I imagine they must've been bought by EA to keep their mouths shut about the crap ending. One review actually mentioned 'A satisfying ending', I can't imagine what that guy was smoking when he wrote that, or how much money EA paid him. So there goes my nice strategy.

[ticklefist]

Cross that bridge when I come to it. Right now no bridges are even on the horizon. Not even gonna count command and conquer. That's not a Bioware game. That's a game EA's slapped their RPG branch's logo onto.

[Astbruchgefahr]

They've undermined my trust in them to deliver a quality product. Maybe I'll buy another BioWare game, but I will be more cautious about it. I bought Mass Effect on the strength of KOTOR, as I hadn't been big into games for many years. I will no longer be that trusting with BioWare.

[Frostfiend]

I can honestly say I will not preorder another Bioware game.

[Simzyy]

I'll buy another BioWare game, I love the company that much
Which is why they should do some epilogue dlc for free, for the fans which have supported them all these years

Me. I can say that. I honestly can. It brings me no joy or satisfaction to say it, but its the truth.

As I've said in other posts, I'll play the Bioware games I've already got, but I'll never buy anything new from them again unless this is fixed. Why should I? Some thing's cant be forgiven and forgot.

It's like Frodo said - "There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold."

[dafty duck]

I won't not ever purchase another Bioware game, though it looks unlikely after DA2 and the eneding of the ME series, what I will do is wait a few weeks after a titles release to guage fan reaction.

[Kronner]

BIoWare is one of the very few devs I really like. I will definitely buy their future games.

[Tamcia]

Yup. There are companies that now do what BW sued to do. Don't like the new BW.....

[Lyons6]

No I would not. I see no reason to invest money in another series from Bioware when I just spent five years, 100 plus hours and 300 dollars to get a five minute washover at the end. Now if they fix their mess then that would be a different story.

I will buy another game, but I won't preorder (I'll wait until the price drops) and I'll be careful to check reviews. Critically, I won't start a multi-game saga until it's complete as I don't trust them to hold a quality level.

In the short term, up until the ending, I was planning on moving on to DA or SWTOR (after a renegade playthrough). But right now, I'm not interested.

They haven't lost me as a customer, but they have lost me as a fan and supporter. They've lost some immediate revenue (there's no way I'll sign on to SWTOR now as I don't want to repeat this reaction). Whereas before I was planning on recommending this series in the strongest terms to friends and family, I've already given my sister a mixed review which pushed her to Skyrim as her next game.

[Tregon]

Done with Bioware. It isn't even hard... I have more unfinished games than I care to think of... And get more from other producers. Only thing that kept me buying whole ME series for example was the stunning story. Now that Bioware has betrayed all that trust.. I can just fine settle with other companies who actually care about their products.

Bethesda... Me wubs you.

Ok, maybe I would get another Bioware game. But never in any way which would give money to Bioware. Used games or super cheap bargains at most.

I'll be more reluctant to buy a BW game. I can't say I will never buy a BioWare game again (I did say this after DA II); I simply can not forget the incredible experience during the other 99% of the ME3, though if they offer a paid different ending they can shaft it where the sun doesn't shine and ME3 will be my last BioWare game bought.

[RedTail F22]

I never thought I would say yes to not buying a game because of the company name, but yes. Mass Effect is by far my favorite gaming series and I never thought it could be ruined in 10min but it was.


I use to look forward to bioware products but I honestly dont know why I should even bother. Honestly, why would I want to be as invested in a game like I was with Mass Effect only to have this happen again. No thanks

[CTWraith]

After playing through ME3, and suffering through the waste of money that was DA2, I won't purchace another BioWare game, not unless the Player reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

[Captain Shakespeare]

...Maybe. I certainly wouldn't buy another one of their games the day of its release, though. I'd have to wait for the reviews and such. Waiting is hell, but so is having a dagger shoved into your back.

[Darknessfalls23]

Personally yeah I think I am done with Bioware, and here is why, Mass Effect was main game series of theirs I like and they ended it so haphazardly which out much thought it seems. I don't see the point of going through this again.I am getting tired of these blockbuster games having rushed deadlines pushing the game out the door when it is not ready...

[slyguy07]

I certainly won't. They took what I thought was the Holy Grail of video gaming and then took a sh*t in it and held it out to us and said "here have a drink."

[Bergy_si]

NO,
I will buy their game, but first I'm gonna read comments that users wrote and not the sites, that review them for money...

Hopefully no more DA2...
