Dragon Age 2 destroyed Dragon Age 3 preorders all on its own

[Thornne]

No idea. But I won't be pre-ordering anything from Bioware for a long time. Bargain bin a year later for me.

The problem is that ME3 looked awesome in the previews- so did DA2.

What we've learned from ME3 is that "Things can change in development". And BioWare don't think it's important to tell us that before we buy.

DA2 never promised a satisfying, multiple-branching ending. So whilst I was disappointed, I knew no-one had lied.

But with ME3, we learned that we can't trust BioWare to give us what they promised.

So the backlash from me3 will be bigger, I believe, than the da2 one.

I was actually going to buy Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 after playing Mass Effect 3. If they hadn't completely destroyed my trust with their blatant lies, I could have easily pre-ordered DA3 if I enjoyed the last two games.

I'm not buying any Bioware games anymore, naturally.

But the backlash to DA2 was record breaking pre orders for ME3.  Also, people were claiming Bioware lied about what DA2 would be as well.  "They lied" is a pretty common complaint for everyone who's dissatisfied in a game and it's never actually true.  

Like in ME3 we were promised our actions would effect the ending of the game and they did.  3 different endings based on our choices and actions.  If that wasn't "enough" variety for you then you are free to feel disappointed, but you weren't lied to.

Realistically there won't be any backlash.  If anything EA and ME3 have brought in more fans than Bioware currently knows what to do with.  If DA3 looks like a badass game it will do remarkably well with pre orders.

Of course not, DA2 took care of that.

Pretty much this, all the ME3 ending did was add fuel to the fire against bioware.

i shall not be purchasing DA3 on launch, after the disappointment that was DA2 and the terrible ending to ME3, I do not trust Bioware to deliver on its promise.

From now on I will look out for reviews and listen to forum feedback before i'll consider purchasing future bioware products.

Same here, I swallowed the bitter pill - DA2, but ME 3 ending and the fact that EA sent fewer copies of collector's edition to my country (they made the decision in late February, when I pre-ordered in December) and of course in the beginning of March I got the info that I'm not getting it. Well, that is a bit too much to take, and trust blindly again 

[cuzsal]

yes

[TaHol]

DA 2 made that for me.

[Artemis_Entrari]

I think I'm the only person on this forum that absolutely hated the ending to ME3 while actually enjoying and having no big (minor, but nothing big like my issue with ME3's ending) issues with DA2.

[elfdwarf]

i don't care what say on forum & gamer >=l

It is highly probable that it will.

i dont know if it will completely but i think we can agree itll definately affect the sales negatively.

[SeventyOne]

If the ME3 ending controversy is not resolved in a proper manner then there will be some noteworthy losses on the preorders of DA III. Usually the people that make preorders come from the fanbase of a company, its core customers. And at this moment it seems that most of these people are not satisfied with Bioware.
So it is natural that they will try to "vindicate" by not buying any Bioware's products, more even preorder.
I hope that Bioware understand that is not proffitable for a company to "rebuild" their customer base, and will take the neccessary actions needed to restore the corporate trust.
Time will tell.

[Talon2000uk]

I've preordered every Bioware collectors edition since BG2. Never again!

The wheel just keeps on turning.

If this ending isn't  fixed, it's a clear indicator that Bioware doesn't care to deliver to fans the products they want and or expect. These twist and cliff hanger endings don't inspire faith amongst fans, and definitely rub me the wrong way. Why would I continue to purchase the games you make if you deceive your audience again and again? Fool me once shame on me...

[sevach]

ME3 didn't damage it as much as DA2 did, that's for sure.

I've never been much of a Dragon Age guy, the ME universe setting is a lot more interesting to me (not big on medieval, mages and stuff), but i got them both out of "it's a Bioware game, it's gonna be awesome".

Worked the first time... not so much the second...

[Thetri]

LOL I'm gonna buy it anyway.

[XTR3M3]

The broken or just seriously misrepresented promises BioWare has made about choices mattering in the end in BOTH ME3 and DA2 will put a damper on pre-orders of DA3. I will never pre-order another BIoWare game again. They have broken my trust 2 games in a row. Now I will wait for REAL player feedback, not just company mouthpieces like IGN, before I buy. I wouldn't have felt nearly as hosed by ME3's lack of sense ending if I had known about it in advance. I would have waited until the price dropped too.

Wait, people still care or have any amount of hope for DA3? Oh man ... I'm sorry brah, nobody should be that deluded.

Is Kingdoms of Amalur any good?

I never pre-order, and it's not because I don't trust BioWare... it's because I don't trust pre-orders. With all the stories I've read about stores not getting enough copies of the game, and just cancelling people's pre-orders without telling them, I figure I have as good a chance trying to pick it up on day one. No problems with that so far.

As for DA3, I always read spoilers, so I'm sure I'll know everything about the game before it comes out anyway.

You're not the only one. I really enjoyed DA2, and hate ME3's ending enough that I'll be stopping the game every time before my Shepards reach it.
