The only Bioware games I like are the Mass Effect games.
I'm not going to pre-order games from them again, but if the next Mass Effect turns out to be worthwhile, maybe I'll buy it.

If they make single games, maybe. But I will never preorder again. If they make another triology franchise I will wait after the last game has been released, I refuse to get attached to a new franchise only to get screwed over by its ending(s)

Nope. It's not the ending that does it in for me it'll be the fact that Bioware neglects over 90% of their community. I don't honestly want to purchase games and DLC from a company that can't even support 95% of their fan base. But that's if they don't have ending DLC

Yes. I have enjoyed every game they've released, even if I wasn't thrilled with a couple of the endings or characters. They have all been worth my time and money, and I will continue buying their games as long as they're fun and interesting.

Yes I will.

Will I preorder? Probably not.

100% yes

If they cave in to the moaners though, I might think again, the ending is fine as it is. I think any change is likely to ruin it

Even if they fix the ending, I'm very likely to not buy anymore bioware games tbh. After Dragon Age 2, TOR (to an extent) and ME3 (not just the ending), its clear that Bioware has lost the Bio and are just Eaware now. Might buy if they fix the ending and if some honest, non biased reviews give it a good review.

IGN, that doesn't mean you brah

I won't pay for an ending DLC, period. After outright lying to us, it better be free.

I'm already never pre-ordering a Bioware game again.

If this garbage that they keep feeding the press continues (I'm staring directly at Doctor Ray's latest entry); I'll just stop buying their products, like I've done with other companies who have taken the lazy way out of hot water.

I've never been so disappointed in a gaming company.

"By Gamers, For Gamers" is apparently an antiquated dream now.

What do you consider an honest non-biased reviews. I can't think of a single recognizable review site which didn't give it at least a pretty positive write-up.

No. The ending as it stands ruined the trilogy for me.

This is the last straw for me. Regardless of the DLC, I have no more faith in BioWare. It's not a matter of "no, I won't buy another BioWare game"...it's a matter of losing that faith. I don't trust them, unconditionally, the way I used to back in 2009 and before.

Pinnacle Station was a foul ball. I won't count it against them, because they didn't make it...but it was released under the guise of it being their own creation. It wasn't terrible, but it took over a year to create after BDtS, and almost 2 years after the game was released?
ME2 was, to me, the first real strike. The story telling and RPG elements took a back seat to mindless, corridor shooting. By no means a bad game, but far from the promise brought forth by the first game.
DA2 was the 2nd strike. It was redundant, annoying...I had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it for 80% of the game, and had no clear goal. If I wanted that...I wouldn't be playing video games. I actually didn't hate the game, but it was kind of insulting after DAO.
This whole ME3 debacle is strike 3. And not just the ending...large portions of the game made me kinda angry...the first 10 hours or so I was not amused.

Mass Effect 3, if they fix the ending, might even be my GOTY. However...my faith is shattered, and I can no longer believe in BioWare the way I used to.

I only really like the ME games from bioware, primarily 1 and 2, so yea if the ending DLC isnt up to snuff, no chance of any future purchases.

No. I will avoid anything with EA in it. They destroyed C&C in my opinion. Now Dragon Age and Mass Effect with it.

Oh, hello thread about overreacting about a single game, and the unrealistic boycotting of an entire game company for it.

Luuuulz.

Over reacting it is, but i will def never preorder anything from bioware, I'm planning on only preordering certain games from the following studios: 
  • Irrational games
  • CD project
  • High moon
  • Bethesda
  • Vigil
  • Human Head Studios
  • 4A
  • Eidos(Montreal)
  • Ubisoft
  • Mercury Steam
  • Epic Games
  • Rocksteady Studios
  • Visceral Games
  • Remedy Entertainment
I enjoy games from these studios enough to preorder a few of their upcoming games (mostly sequels), but I will only do so IF and only IF I like the game ALOT.
In a way it was good that ending of ME was mediocre(at best), it woke up many of the consumers.

From now on i'm doing lots and lots of used games.

Who knows.

But I can say with certainty that my days of throwing hundreds of dollars on preorders and collector's editions of Bioware products are done.

Actually, it isn't too unrealistic.

DA2 was a total flop, and I had pretty much lost interest in the entire DA universe as a result already. If ME3 (including the ending) turned out to be incredible, I was thinking of giving DA3 a try. Well, the ME3 ending made the final act of DA2 look like a blockbuster movie, so that's not happening.


In short:

DA universe - lost interest because of the DA2 disaster, ME3 failed to revive it.
ME universe - trilogy is done, ending was a total fizzle, not buying any DLC unless ending is fixed.
SWTOR - already cancelled sub.
Any future Bioware game universe - absolutely no interest in; thanks to ME3, I already know how bad the ending of ANY future Bioware trilogy will be.



...OR they could fix the ending and though I won't forget, I'll definitely forgive entirely.

Well, tbh, you'd probably have to search around. Smaller sites are the least tainted. I like elder-geek, their reviews are pretty good, and its obvious they havent got EA money in their eyes (no advertisements from games devs/publishers on their website). They gave ME3 a positive review, but really did emphasize the ending was terrible and the other issues (im pretty sure, havent looked at in a while).

But, there are honest reviewers out there, just avoid the bigger sites which have EA's willy flapping (or any game dev/publisher for that matter) about everywhere and you're on the right path.

The only franchise bioware still had that interested me was mass effect. So chance are im done either way. I mean if out of the blue they come out with a game that looks interesting, i will simply not preorder. I got my lesson on that, they just arent reliable. The game is already selling half price at retail store because of all this drama. I could have waited couple weeks?

It was a lesson well earned. Theres only about 4 company which i can safely preorder games from: CD project, Valve, Blizzard, Eidos montreal. Used to have epic game in there, but they just scrapped PC and Unreal Tournament. Id simply blew it with rage, their worse game to date, completly rushed and suffering for the DLC madness, a titan of pc gaming falling is sad.

I tend to trust Spill.com for movie reviews. The few game reviews I've listened to (including their discussions of Mass Effect 3) I tend to agree with. Thinking of making them my main place for reviews. GameTrailers is ok...I like that they do in depth reviews, and they end up convincing me NOT to buy games they give high ratings to all the time.

It depends on what it is, but I play their games primarily for the characters, and ME 3's ending shows they can't be trusted to handle them properly, so no ME stuff and deffinitely not anything Mac Walters and Casey Hudsen are involved with.

Maybe Dragonage 3, or a new IP, depending on fan reviews. I won't be preordering from them again though.
