No, but I'll never pre-order them and I'll almost certainly be buying it used if I buy any.

No. But I usually buy games a good while after they release- ME3 was both my first pre-order and my first CE. I am not sure I'll do that again.

Bioware and Rockstar are basically the only developers I trust enough to buy their games before major price drops. And now it's going to take a lot for me to feel that way about Bioware again.

[kailiea]

At this point my answer is no.

I was burned on DA 2, SW TOR and now ME 3......so I don't plan on wasting anymore money here.

[Darkwulfjj]

Why would i want to invest into another Bioware universe if they think this is a solid/good ending, no way am I buying another BIoware game till they fix it

[BARRAGE 74]

With so many games from other respectable developers out there forgoing Bioware products is not a hard thing to do.  Competition is a good thing.

[Pepitobenito]

 I can't say 100% for sure, but assuming they don't provide an alternate ending?  Well I certainly have no desire to.  I really believe their best days are behind them, and that Mass Effect 3 may have been a last hurrah to the golden age of Bioware.  KOTOR, Baldur's Gate, Jade Empire, DA:O, the Mass Effect trilogy...I don't think we'll see more like them.  I haven't heard or seen anything from Bioware to suggest any of their upcoming work is worth following.

I played the SWTOR beta and found it fairly enjoyable, and was considering getting it just to play it as KOTOR 3, but I won't be now.  I'm also not all that interested in Dragon Age 3, considering the failings of the second game.  What else do they even have on their agenda?

If they did nothing about the ending? How many of you can actually say you would never buy another game from them, even if they released a ME4?

I honestly can say I won't.

I didn't buy Dragon Age 2, as it disappointed on so many fronts. Kotor 2 was a disappointment having been rushed (which is what I think happened to Mass Effect 3) yet I still ended up getting it before I knew better. I've been committed to Mass Effect so I plan on sticking this series to it's yet-to-be-seen end, but I do not intend to buy any DLC unless it covers the ending. For their future games, I'm going to wait until I've heard a good dose of feedback on them. If they're not what they seem to be, then I'd be perfectly fine putting my time into a different product.

Dragon Age 2 and SWTOR were huge disappointments as well.
None of their games ever had great gameplay, it was always about the story and now they're screwing that up as well? No thanks, unless they're like "lol joke, here is the real ME3 ending" I think I'm done with their games.

[Hexley UK]

The only way I will buy another Bioware game is if they either -

A. Fix the mess of an ending that ME3 has with DLC or a patch

or

B. ME4 comes out with Sheperd and an explaination to the mess that is the ending of ME3.

I'd love another ME game with Sheperd preferably but I don't see that happening with the ending as is (unless indoc theory is correct).

If the indoc theory isn't correct and this is actually what they planned then i've lost faith in Bioware so much I do not think i could face another 200+hrs of awesome to be faced with "LULZ PIK UR FAVRIT CULUUR!!" again quite frankly.

[Untamed_skies]

If Bioware goes and creates something the looks like it'll be great and something I'm interested in yeah I'm going to go buy it. This game was amazing from beginning up until the end. Mass Effect 1 Great, Mass Effect 2 great, Dragon Age great, Dragon Age 2 was could have been better but was still a clear cut above the rest of the games. Years down the road Bioware could release one of the greatest games of all time that hits all the emotional responses 3 did and end in a mostly satisfying fashion, (let's be honest there was always going to be a group that hated the end of this game). Why would I let a game I didn't like hold me back from a game I'd love? To prove a point that would have long been lost since then?

[Star fury]

It's 5% probability. I will first check Metacritic players' rating, it's really telling for the last Bioware games lol.

[Balgard]

For me it wouldn't be just because of the ending but the sum of things...

If they release a DLC that fixes and addresses the plot holes, coherence and problems for free, then I might consider continue supporting Bioware and by association EA, it would still depend how their business policy of trying to squeeze every cent from gamers would go, but if they try and plan to charge us (the customers) with a DLC that fixes the incoherence of the ending and some of the poorly implemented features (like the journal) that should've worked properly in the first place then I absolutely wouldn't continue supporting and paying them and wouldn't pay for the DLC either.

Since when it's alright to be charged and to have to pay for patches and fixes of the games? When did we (as customers) started to accept that and made the companies know that it's a good business practice to actually charge more for less content? How is that having "an open ending" and as how some people say "it's alright, that way you can imagine how the ending goes", how is that something good? When did we started to accept being charged more for less? Would you buy a book that you know it doesn't have an end because "you should imagine it"? Or would you pick up the book read the back of it to know more or less what the book is about, then leave it there and imagine the whole book?

Since when do I have to pay a company to tell me "imagine"? I imagine every day for free, and if I would've known, I certainly wouldn't had paid 60, 70 or whatever your currency is to actually be told that once you reached the end of ME3.

Paying for extra features, sure, you want to pay for a DLC that gives you 5 additional squad members, sure, or for a DLC that allows you to "pimp" the Normandy, sure, that's extra eyecandy and there is nothing wrong for charging extra for that, but charging extra to see how that ending actually is? Absolutely not, or to have an enhanced journal that will work how it was supposed to work in the first place? Absolutely not., or being charged for an ammo clip (as EA's CEO addresses it on a microtransaction video on youtube)? Absolutely not... Those are features for what I already paid the game for, why would I have to be charged extra? I already paid for that when I bought the game.

Companies don't exist to make a favor to the gamers, they don't make games saying "Oh, so there's a group that would love a space game, let's make one to please them and because we're a good company", they make games because they want to make profit. They exist and sustain over time because we (as customers) allow them to exist, if no one pays for their product (or any company and products) they bankrupt and cease to exist, that is how the market and economy works, but if you as a customer or gamer think it's fine to be charged more money for less content, or you think it's fine to continue buying "incomplete" or sub-par games, that's your choice as a customer, just think this, in the long run you'll have to pay even more for even less content and the only one "losing" here is you.

So going back to the ME3 issue, I really hope all the fixes and gap filling and coherence in the game are addressed soon and for free since it should've been in the game in the first place and it was already paid when we bought the game.

[frostajulie]

Yes. I am not a gamer I am a Bioware Gamer. Story, attachment, character development. This si what made Bioware Games so engaging. But it seems they don't know how to do it right anymore. There were signs with DA2 but it had closure. ME3 has none.

So yes I can honestly say without a doubt I will never buy anything Bioware makes again.

[BountyHuntress16]

I don't know if I will end up buying another Mass effect game. I'm at a "wait and see" point. But I would buy another Dragon Age game because, whatever faults DA2 had, there was enough good in there to make me want to come back. (And knowing that there are different writers for DA assure me that I probably won't be sucker punched again.)

[ChuckNorris18]

Yes.

[chris fenton]

Dragon Age is a game I've never cared for much, ( I know my purchases of the first two are testament against this, that would be over run by the fact DA2 -sucked- and that I'm -this- angry about this whole damn expirence.) 
Mass Effect 3 ends Shepard.

So yes, I would. 

[Deyanira283]

I do not know if I will ever buy again another Bioware game.
But what I do know for sure is that I am not going to buy another of their games blindly.
I mean no more preorders,collector editions or launch purchases as I have being doing for years. I will wait until fans reviews are out and then likely wait a bit more until price drops.
On other words exactly what I do with games by other studios.
I had Bioware on an altar.....

[antony1197]

Nope im done even if they fix this NO MORE pre orders ever, no more collectors editions and not until the price drops regardless if they fix it or not i dont trust them anymore.

[Launcifer]

Yup.

I got a Beta when I bought DA: Awakening, the cut and paste environments in DA2 were a joke (which was my personal gripe, though I know people have others) and, well, they now screwed up their flagship trilogy at the final hurdle (though I would like to state that, properly handled, I believe that the ending(s) they went with might have been very powerful). That's about £135 I spent on my versions right there, sans all the DLC I purchased, which seems to correspond directly with the monetary value of my goodwill.

Bioware got three chances because some of the company's older games were directly responsible for my developing into an avid gamer. Most companies get one chance to impress me without screwing up. It would take someting truly astonishing to draw me back into the fold and, frankly, I'm no longer convinced that the company has that kind of firepower in the locker.

[circe]

Depending on the game itself I may or may not buy another Bioware game, but one thing I am sure of is that I will not preorder another one of their games. Like others have said I will wait for reviews and more likely once the prices on the game drop. And this is regardless of how they handle this ending fiasco.

[Janus382]

 I can honestly say I wouldn't buy another BW game, ever, if the ending fiasco isn't addressed.

I've lost too much trust and faith in them, at this point, to be emotionally and financially invested in anything else they produce... especially an ME4.

And not just BW games... all non-ME3-ending DLC as well.

[GrimIntent89]

I wouldn't because they, as developers, promised things and did not make good on a vast majority of their promises. I don't like liars, and I won't buy games from them in the future if they prove that to be the case.

[NeoGuardian86]

 I can honestly say i won't pre-order another Bioware game.

[Piddlestick]

"Can you honestly say you would never buy another bioware game?"

Yes, I can say that, because BioWare don't make games that I like anymore.

Each their own.

I have no interest in further supporting Bioware. With DA2 being a disaster and ME3's ending ruining an entire franchise, I don't see a reason to give them the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Fixing ME3's ending would be a start on getting me back as both a fan and customer, but I'm not holding my breath. As of the day I finished ME3, I pretty much swore off Bioware products.

edit: I also forgot to mention the entire existence of TOR. Talk about pissing on fans of KOTOR, at least ME3 had some kind of ending. TOR just disregards literally everything you did in 1 and 2 and says "this is the way it happened".

My sentaments exactly.
