I'll still buy them.

But I won't pre-order.

And I'll always, always wait until there are fan reviews out lauding it.

Also this, I will never pre-order from them again.

yes i can say that for sure.

just bought Dragon and Dungeons Anthology. Don't need no more shallow sell-out RPGs.

[Jaron Oberyn]

I can. No way I was buying the next DA game especially since apparently they haven't learned their lesson (only looking at skyrim cause it exceeded expectations in sales, was played more on consoles than mw3).

Now with me3's linear dialogue and horrible excuses for an ending, I'm not going to get invested in another bioware game again. I'll have to find somewhere else to fill the rpg/story void. Might check out The Witcher, been hearing good things about that developer.

Hmm. Unless they fix the ending, and the succeeding game in the ME franchise doesn't 'wow' me, then I'm probably done w/ anything ME-related (future ME3 paid-for DLCs included).

As for any future Bioware products: at the very least, I would be very, very skeptical/inquisitive before shelling out cash again.

It was my hope that ME3 would 'redeem' Bioware in my eyes after my disappointment w/ DA2. And ME3 was looking like it would redeem them...well, until the ending anyway.
So, yeah, I do hope they 'fix' the ending.
(keep current endings but expand on them and clarify them, AND then ADD more endings, specifically ones that take into account choices/efforts made by Shepard and company)
And that 'fix' better be free.

If Bioware doesn't do something about the ending, then yes, I am not buying any future Bioware games. Maybe I borrow them from friends but I'm not contributing myself.

[Enraged Sympathizer]

Absolutely, I wasn't a big buyer of them anyway because before this I was more of an FPS gamer but Mass Effect got me into them, if they make me loose interest then so be it. I'll just go back to Halo, CoD, GoW, etc. Bioware isn't the only dev out there. If the ending is change on the other handle then they'll become a buy just by name for me.

[Jaron Oberyn]

Now on the other hand, if they do a mass effect MMO like TOR which had a richer single player rpg experience than Me3, then I suppose I might buy another one. That's the only exception though.

I will absolutely never buy another brand new bioware game again. Between the crap that was dragon age 2 and the ending of ME3 and the way it ****s on the entire trilogy. Why bother?
I actually forgave bioware for DA2 thinking that maybe all the creative talent was going to ME3.
I actually thought and believed that was why DA2 got the shaft because finishing the ME3 trilogy right would have / should have been biowares top priority.
I own 30 xbox 360 games. Of the 30, I own two collector editions. One of those is halo, the other is ME3. I don't regret buying the Halo one. I can't say the same for ME3.
...And IF i ever buy a game with a bioware tag on it. I'm buying it used because I know how much they and EA hate that. I'll do it from now on just to spite them.
That will happen unless they deliver the product they advertised.
At this point it's biowares move to determine whether or not they'll ever see my $$$$ again.

And BTW bioware, you won't be just loosing me as customer, but my G'F as well. She actually bought me a MS points card, the 50$ one just for ME3. She's just as pissed off as I am. She got interested in mass effect when I was playing ME2. I made her play ME1 first before i'd let her play ME2. She loved them both becuase of the CHOICES that allowed you to shape the game.
Suffice to say, I'm not spending any of that card for any DLC for ME3. Instead I'll hold on to it and hope skyrim comes out with some DLC like they did with shivering isles for oblivion.

Yes.  I can say that with absolute certainty.  Though the ending of ME3 would be enough, coupled with the ending of DA2 it shows a disconcerting trend at BW that they have somehow...forgot to seemlessly wrap up games.  The ending of a story is pivotal, it can...and often does...make or break an arch.  Out of all 3 ME games ME3 feels like Shepard's aristea, and at the climax of his/her story arch BW mishandled it.  They took choice away from us when choice was most imperative, the culmination of all our decisions.

Mass Effect 3 embodies my most anticipated video game title ever.  Now this may not be the same for everyone, but for me, personally, I expected Casey Hudson and his team to live up to the monstrous hype they built for this game.  I was promised to see how all of my decisions, across all three games, affected the outcome of my Shepard's story.  I do not mind the bittersweet ending.  I do not mind it as one of several endings I was promised.  Instead it is the only ending, with minor variables, and in none of those endings am I given what I was promised.  I none of those endings am I shown how my choices from ME1-ME3 have any affect.  I could create a brand new ME3 Shepard, never having played the first two games and I would get the same carbon copy endings. 

That hurt.

I felt betrayed and lied to.  I admit I took it personally.  The first time ever I've taken a poor quality ending personally, and have it be noted, my qualms with 'these' (this) ending(s) is not that it is 'bad', but that it is of poor quality when compared to the rest of the franchise.  I will not let this happen to me again. 

[SandTrout]

Yes.

Not to rain on your parade but they can't do Mass Effect anymore as it is, the creator and lead writer is gone over to SWTOR.  For unknown reasons he left ME after ME 2.  Hence the garbage we have now.  Drey Karpysyn is his name.  HE is the guy we ow for ME, not ME 3.  You saw what they did without him at the helm.

Unless Drew was promoted to a HIGH up executive where he has the pull to force the to do it right, then I would purchase anything ME without him.  Even if they fix this mess.

I can honestly say that I would not purchase another BioWare title via pre-order, and that I would not opt for the collector's edition. I got burned on both ME3 and DA II. I will wait until I read customer reviews regarding whether or not the game lives up to the company"s promises... if not, I'll pass.

Drew left the company, he involved in most bioware series except dragon age, big loss for bioware

[Ryoten]

Yes, i can honestly say i would never buy another Bioware product again. I bought Dragon Age 2. I was disappointed. But i figured, "hey, everybody gets one". And tried my best to brush it off. Then they did this which was just careless. So yeah, im through. There are a lot of other good game companies out there that i don't mind supporting. People who make a good core game. Bioware use to make good games, but that's a thing of the past now i suppose.

[Voutsis1982]

I preordered ME2 and ME3 based on previous experience. That experience has now been updated, and I will be basing future purchases on this new experience. In other words, yes, as I've lost trust in the brand.

[the red boon]

I can honestly say no, I wouldn't buy from a developer who screwed one of my favorite video game series.

[GracefulChicken]

I'll buy another Bioware game, sure. Don't get me wrong, I'm just as upset about these **** endings as anyone else... but I think it is hard to deny that Bioware are capable of incredible stories. And this debacle, as much as it hurt, isn't enough for me to take a chance on missing another story in the same league, even if it ultimately disappoints me in the end. Those 5 years leading up to disappointment will be fun.

[Simpfan]

Im not a bioware fanboy, so I have no loyalty.

All I know is if they make a star wars game thats not online, id buy it

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".

thats not Biowares problem.
Star Wars is not a Bioware brand.
Lucasarts needs to have a canon series of events so they can tie their universe together.

[fides5566]

Yes, if they not going to fix the ending and for free.
I won't buy any games from Bioware ever again.

I might pick it up after the price drop and when it is on sale.

[Avarenda]

No, but i wont preorder and any future games will be 'used', which is basically the same thing since developers dont see a cent of used game sales.

Pretty much this. 


I will definitely get DA3 though.  Albeit definitely not at retail price.
