My brother, two brothers-in-law, and some random guy at Wal-Mart. I'm not sure if the last one believed me, but I did suggest that he wait for the price to drop (more).

None, I encouraged people to buy the game because the series as a hole is still good.

 

I also thought the series ended up as a hole.

^^^^^This. Dude, you are awesome.

I have allowed 4 to postpone since I got them into me1 and 2, they looked to me about the 3rd. I told them its a great game overall, but the ending isn't the greatest, and Imo doesn't invalidate the quality of the first two but does make the story more depressing when you known the ending is so bleak. They are waiting to hear the yay or nay from me, which I am waiting for the news about the dlc to give.

It's from one of my entries for an upcoming Retake art competition that should be starting soon. Full version here, competition info here.

I can honestly say none, I dont think people realise how bad it ends until they have played it.

Secretly I was hoping one of my friends actually liked the ending so I could have someone to debate with but that hasnt happened yet.

You guys who are recommending that people NOT buy the game... you do realize that this is more or less a forum for fans of the IP and game?

I just don't understand how you can love something (Mass effect Universe)and tell someone not to experience it. Even if the ending was a let down I just can't understand letting the journey's end spoil the entire experience.

Three.

[Mandalore313]

I have encouraged 3 people to buy this game, although I did warn them to use alcohol when nearing the end.

[Giguelingueling]

Didn't try to convince someone not to buy it, but when they saw my reaction to the ending 4-5 of my friends decided to wait until an ending fix or simply never buy it.

(I feel like my sentence make no sense at all, sorry I'm still learning english )

Because the ending is a litteral heartbreak, and apparently we love our friends enough to try and save them of bad experiences. 
The journey is incredible, but the destination destroys the merits of the journey and in fact, makes you think about how great it was, and how disappointing is the outcome.

This,  Mass effect is still a great series, I am not going to discourage people from a great game cause I am not a bitter "fan" who wants to spite Bioware by trying to prevent others from buying their overall great games because I did not like the ending to one game.

I see your point, but I think you're conflating love of Mass Effect and love of ME3 - it's entirely possible that they love ME1 and ME2, but dislike ME3. Loving the ME universe is one of the main reasons people give for disliking the endings. By convincing those who have played ME1 and 2 they may feel they are helping save them from an experience that will damage that players enjoyment of the Mass Effect universe as a whole.

I personally think the rest of the game outweighs the ending, but I've also written my own imagined ending to replace the existing one to cope. I will be switching off after entering the Citadel in future playthroughs.

I lent them my copy because I have no interest in playing it again.  That being said, depending on what happens in april they may go out and buy it.

[Atraiyu Wrynn]

Two. It's sad because I was the biggest cheerleader for Bioware games. I have 3 friends I got into the ME and DA series because I wouldn't shut up about them.

Now I'm telling the same people to pass on this one. Sad.

[Riddic]

None, let people determine for themselves based off the info they have. Few people asked me, gave them my opinion but told them to choose for themselves based off the info they have.

wtf wrong topic ftw?

Yeah it's beyond bittersweet...it hurts even, but a main concept in the game is dealing with death and loss. I was unbelievably angry when I first finished it....then I grasped onto the Indoctrination threory because I didn't want it to be over and so bleak. I wanted to save everyone. Then I realized that I couldn't and I felt the ending even more. This game has made so many people feel so deeply. Even if it is painful...I truly think it's better to have experienced an amazing but painful journey than to never have experienced it at all.

For me, 3 directly. They're waiting for the price crash at Gamestop. They subsequently convinced some of their friends not to buy it, or wait and buy it used.

[DreamTension]

I've tried to not sway anybody, but I have offered my opinion on everything (amazing game and series, ending ruined it all for me). Overall, I only know of one person that has verbally told me he was going to buy but now he isn't.

[johhnytrash]

2. they were on the fence and seeing how mad I was at the ending, they said, well, I'll wait to see if they change it.

[Thetri]

Neither, I actually encouraged people to buy it. The series as a whole is still good, even with the ending ME3 is one of the best games released from 2011-2012.

I appreciate that line of thought, but the ending just plain sucked. It made no sense with rest of the ME universe. They just totally blew it.
