At the rate things are going, it's starting to look that way. I've got 6 games staring at me right now(Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate 2, Arcanum, Fallout 1 & 2, Anachronox) that I haven't beat yet. All of them free of DRM, universally enjoyed, and have respectable endings to them.

If they continue to implement origin in the current form it is now, among other various issues, I'm going to be less than inclined to buy from them.

Potentially. No matter what, I'm probably never gonna believe anything Casey Hudson says again. His voice isn't as awesome as Peter Molyneux's so it'll be easier to not believe him anymore

I will first see what they do with the endings. But Bioware has left a real bad taste in my mouth between canceling the DLC early for DAO, to releasing a problematic, and poorly done DA2, and now releasing ME3 with an ending which not only destroys the series for me, but does not reflect my choices through the series, and the multiplayer having impact on single player is ridiculous. Try reaching 4,000 war assets or more without playing multiplayer, It can't be done.

Needless to say with Biowares missteps in both Game development decisions, and their PR damage control campaigns since getting in bed with EA, I don't have much faith in them anymore.

If they made a kotor 3 I would probably buy it just because it's star wars though

Definitely the last one I'm buying on day one or pre-ordering. There is the potential for them to regain my trust. But I don't think I can buy any new Mass Effect game that is before or during ME3. What's the point? You know what's going to happen and that nothing you can do will change it and everything will be horrible in this galactic dark age. Unless the DLC they're making for "closure" is really something, I'm not buying any Mass Effect prequels.

Uhm, not that those games aren't great. but they are ancient. Its like complaining that they stopped making games on floppy disks. You cant realy compare games from 10 years ago, to modern games (the good ones anyway).

Certainly the last bioware game I'm dropping cash on a preorder for.

I will be waiting for peer reviews (not "critics" as they have shown how unreliable they are) before I consider dropping cash on them.

The last time a company wasted my money and acted anything remotely like what's been going on. I stopped buying anything they put out and dissuaded all my friends from purchasing from them and why . That was in November. I haven't even considered purchasing from them.

If this is to be the same, so be it. My money and my friends money are better spent on other things anyway.

It really depends on what they do to correct the error they made. The sold us on the pretnse that this would not be a game with an ABC ending. The content with in the game being missions are lacking to their other two games. They relied heavily on cameos in whole missions dealing with several from previous DLC and character. The level that should add to the story seem like a quick add in, to simply give the person someting to do and gather a quick asset. 

Look, I know a lot of people feel this is art, but when you are selling art for profit, it becomes a product that is open to scrutiny. It is open to the wants of the public to have a satisfiable product. Because of DLC they know it can be changed. 

If you read a book, and it ended terribly but the story wasn't so bad. You would probably say it was a good read, but the author just didn't know how to end it. Your view of the book as would be tainted. I can think of several books off the top of my head like this. It would not be a New York times best seller and when you saw more books down the road you would probably avoid them.

Right now that is happening with ME3, you have a good story with an ending that failed to live up to what they stated we would have, its not just that people were not given what they were promised. But we got to the end of a story with a quick qrab up to an epic series. Just like that. It was like, they didn't have the time, care, or drive to write about this story anymore.

Therefore the game series is now tainted as the twilight, harry potter, series would be if they were ended poorly.

As for me buying BioWare games, I would have to say I think I am moving on. Probably not going to purchase anymore. 

I have been let down too many times. Especially by game companies under the EA Flag. It just seems like there is a lot of games coming out with a catch. Pushing to buy more more more. I am steering clear of that business practice unless they are selling somethin that shows they put some thought into the end.

And why not? The games he mentioned are still great. You can easily overlook the old graphics issues.

Well I can anyway, but maybe that's because I grew up playing even older games.

I guess for the younger generations it probably looks ridiculous. The story, the characters, the atmosphere, the AD&D 2nd generation magic are what matters to me :)

That said, there are of course newer RPGs that are also awesome.

It's gonna be amusing when people discover ME 3 was not the end of the series, that it isn't a 'trilogy' and that they were left with a cliff hanger where we know nothing of the outcome of the reaper war. Everything that happens after Harbinger's beam hits is a dream or something happening in Shepard's head. If you play through that part again, after the screen goes white then you stand up and start limping to the beam to the Citadel..look around. It's the forest from the dream sequences. Maybe ME 3 isn't the end of the story after all? Just a guess.. (it would also explain why Bioware hasn't said much about it really.)

With the absolutely unsatisfying ending, and a multiplayer which 1/ resets all your progress radomly and 2/ steals your money.. Buying another product from a company who does this and doesn't even answer it's customers seems stupid. Not to mention the possibility of actually selling the ending of a 70 euro (92 dollars) game :/

If i'm not happy with how the endings end up as and all that stuff yes, this is the last game that i get from Bioware. I'm still going to wait and see what they'll do first though, ME3 isn't over just yet for me.

Why should you assum that future games will be any worse?,

 I won't assume they will get worse, because BioWare would have learned their lesson after this fiasco and will now properly put genuine effort into future games (Even if it takes a long time).


And as said several times, people are really picky and pathetic when they say they will "Never buy games from BioWare again" because I am willing to forgive a game for a crap ending if the rest of it is really good

Also would you rather have a really, REALLY s***ty game with an epic ending or would you have an epic game but with a really, REALLY s***ty ending.

Maybe. I really can't say. If DA3 turns out to be terrible, that is where I will draw the line. ME3 was a fantastic game... my gripes about the ending just outweigh how good the rest of it was.

Most likely if they don´t fix the ending Problem. If not, well I´m waiting for the next Souls Game from Fromsoft, because these are AWESOME!

And by the Way, the Souls Games also have LOTS OF SPECULATION FOR EVERYONE and just little Endings, but in there, it´s fun to do so, because they first place the Game, and then wrap a Story around it for Flavour^^

I want BW to be successful, very successful - I want ME 3 to be that blockbuster that it should have been. That would have literally forced all gaming companies to judge itself on where the state of gaming in the 21st century needs to be. Unfortunately, we are were we are. I'll give BW until their April event - from there all decisions will be made.

Without one heck of an "We're Sorry" DLC then I would say ME3 is the last game I'm buying for many years. Note: While insulting I would pay to get the ending(s) that was promised + endings that appeal to me.

Maybe, depends on if they stick with "all roads lead to galactic dark age" nonsense. If they do then the ME universe is hosed.

TOR is like watching paint dry.

For DA3 it will depend on the metacritic user scores.

I'm definitely done with "game critic" ratings.
