Not only would I not buy another Bioware game, I wouldn't touch anything that had EA on it.
Can you honestly say you would never buy another bioware game?

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?
At this stage I can safely say it will be lucky if I ever want to play another game at all. Let alone another Bioware one if the ending isn't corrected. I will certainly be canceling my SWTOR account which right now is still open - I can't bring myself to play it with Mass Effect hanging over my head.

I will MAYBE give bioware and EA one last chance with DA3, but if thats botched as well, EA will never get a single penny from me again, ill then just stick to blizzard. But tbh if they dont fix this game, im not sure ill even buy da3, im certainly not getting a preorder or CE edition this time.

Yes, I can honestly say that I won't buy another BW/EA game again.
They've ruined an entire franchise with the last 10 mins.
They've mislead us into thinking that MP won't be necessary.
They can't be arsed to properly respond to the tons of issues we have.
They essentially disrespect us by claiming this load of baloney is art we just don't understand.
So yeah, my money goes elsewhere. Saddens me that I'll have to pass on Generals 2 but after DA2 and the ME3 ending crap I have a feeling that they'll ruin this as well anyways.

If some people chose to pirate games, then it would be very easy for them to accomplish that.

Buy another game only to be griefed at the end of the game / series / trilogy ? No thanks.

Never? maybe
But will I not buy their next game or two? YES
Only way to send a message to Bioware is to hit them inthe pocket book. If you are upset and then still buy their next game then you are telling them that what they did was acceptable. Saying you dont' like something doesnt matter because they really only look at their pocket book in the long run. They can then make lessor quality products because it is cheaper and their fanbase will pay for it.
/cough If you are upset about the ending and still buy the next Bioware game then you are part of the problem.
I'm not saying don't buy from Bioware ever again but don't buy at least one game you normally would. That way they feel the pinch in the pocket book so they learn their lesson.

I won't buy one without playing it first beforehand, I can say that. DA2, TOR, and ME3 are not purchase worthy, IMO, and are certainly not day-1 purchases.
Bioware's hit a cold streak, so I can't afford to buy their games sight unseen like I used to. Although I will say that ME3 is a great game on the whole, just not one with any replay value for me.

I'm waiting to see if they do anything about the ending of ME3 before I make any decisions. I have been a loyal Bioware fan since the original Baldur's Gate, but the past 3 game releases under EA have me worried about the quality of any future games.
DA2 was garbage.
SW:TOR was hyped as the next step in MMO games, but was a glorified WAR clone with voice acting and ME style dialogue. And WAR was the biggest AAA MMO flop in the past 5 years. It isn't even a real MMO, it's basically a single player game with multiplayer support and they still charge the standard MMO monthly sub. I am really regretting my pre-order and a faith-based 6 month sub out of the gate.
ME3 was an awesome game, minus the ending. It looks like EA is going to gouge us with DLC, and we may not get an actual decent ending. It's hard to call the last part of the game art, when they throw 5 years of work under the bus.
As it stands, it looks like Bioware has fallen victim to the EA curse, just like many other legendary studios before them.

I'm surely not buying
not just bioware but any EA games. at least for the next, idk, 5 years
and it's a pretty nice thing to me to do.
And it's not just about ME3 ending sucking really really bad. Like, most frustrating end ever.
It's about Bioware deliberatly LYING to us. Many many lies. And then they disrespect us again saying that we're just "some more hardcore fans who wants more clousure"
I can understand someone screwing up the ending of the most beautiful sci-fi series ever made. I would still be mad but I can understand. What I don't forgive is that the ending is nothing that they said it would be, and everything they said it wasn't going to be

It's kind of funny how many psychics have cropped up in this thread.
"lol all you people who said you'll never buy another BW game will be here the day DA3 comes out"
Sure, tell me right now how the game ends and we'll talk.

No. I can honestly say I'm not buying on at launch for the foreseeable future, though, especially not anything that's part of an series. Assuming things continue to stand as they are, they will have lost that trust. (This isn't just regarding the ending of ME3, for the record. The Ending was just the last, worst part) I'll wait until reviews come out, the price drops, and maybe some DLC gets bundled in like I do with other games. If they come out with a good game, though I'll still play it eventually.

If Bioware refuses to fix the endings of ME3, I'm not stubborn enough to completely deprive myself of a possibly great future Bioware video game. I am however, definitely stubborn enough to not buy any other ME3 DLC, never pre-order another Bioware game, and I would wait until I see all the fan reviews (since EA can buy the gaming media) before I buy a future Bioware game pre-owned, or at least highly discounted if they pull some more online BS.

No. Mass Effect 3 was great until the end, If the overall quality of Mass Effect 3 is what I can expect from Bioware in the future then I'd be a fool not to stick with them.
#716
Posté 01 avril 2012 - 08:49
I may or may not. However, I will never pre-order games any more. Between SW:TOR, DA2 and ME3's ending. I will certainly wait until the price drops before I consider buying it.

I'll be faithfull to the bioware brand. I'll play the games. I'll even give them three choices.
Buy it used.
Borrow it.
Rent it.

I'm definitely done with ME, was done with DA before this debacle. The only thing they might get me with would be a new Jade Empire, I wouldn't preorder though and I need to know who's writing it, i'm through with some of their writers.

Absolutely yes. I could never buy another BW product. I've asked myself the same question before.
My answer came when I was thinking about buying Dues Ex. But after I heard everyone comparing the ME3 ending to how bad the Dues Ex ending was there was no way I'd buy Dues Ex. Same goes for BW. If they don't fix that travesty of an ending I'll never trust them to follow through on a game again. I don't care how good the review might be. I won't put my game playing emotions in their hands ever again.

Probably everyone here will, because come one or two years form now everybody will form a massive disconnect with their current feelings on the endings and have moved on to other games, even ones from bioware.
Besides, with 98% of mass effect 3 being great, after a number of months, say around six or so, the ending drama and hatred will have boiled over, replaced with apathy and than simple acceptance that ME3 ended weakly. Soon discussions will move towards the positives of the game and than a big event will happen, big titles like assassins creed 3, and bioshock infinite, and whatever blockbuster titles come out will distract people, along with whatever dlc that me3 has that people will download, even if they hate themselves for it, just because we as curious animals will need to experience it ourselves.
Come the full year people would have either left bioware behind or moved no to waiting for the next game to roll around. It will come out, it will be mostly good if not great, and it will win people over again or ****** them off enough to forget about mass effect 3 and than the cycle will repeat itself, with bioware bringing in more fans into the series than they will lose.

Without question. I don't like being lied to and then insulted. I had no problem turning my back on anything that has Peter Molyneux's name associated with it, and I won't have a problem doing it with Bioware.
I won't be happy to do it, but I will not give any more money to a company that seems to care more about winning a new fanbase than it does about the fans who made it successful and wealthy in the first place.

And definitely won't touch TOR now.

Personally, I'm getting sick of EA's influence on developers. They turn all great games into money ****s that are just a shell of the original concept.
The biggest problem with me buying more bioware games is that Mass Effect was the only one I cared about. Not to mention, I feel as though Mass Effect 3 was a hefty step down from Mass Effect 2. All of the relationships were bland and emotionless. Nothing happened in the game that deepened the immersion in the Mass Effect world. In fact, the whole game felt quite claustrophobic. Especially when you consider that the Citadel was essentially the ONLY place to explore between missions. I would have chalked it up as a slight disappointment if it weren't for the logic-defying ending and the anime-esk creator nonsense. Hell, even if Shepard had to die, they could have at least made it fulfilling instead of leaving the series in a total funk. I want to feel satisfied with all that I've accomplished and feel like my death was necessary to make the universe a better place.
So, I guess the only way I'd play another Bioware game is if it were Mass Effect 4 and they designed it more like Mass Effect 2... and even then, I'd be reticent if they were indoctrinated by EA while it was made.
