I won't buy any new DLCs as my interest in the series will have been completely dissolved. I just don't have any interest in continuing the story as it currently stands.

I was going to buy the "kingdoms of al-whatever" game they came out with recently, but I heard it was an "eh" game.... after playing ME3, I have no desire to get it. If DLC is just more of the same... again, I'll lack the desire to give them money.


I will say that of EA's games, the one I'll miss most is Kingdoms of Amalur. I think they did a bang-up job with it, and they didn't cheat people by half-assing any given aspect of the game to deliver it up as DLC later...

..but it's EA. And if I want to put pressure on BioWare, I can't do that without also putting pressure on EA.

could you elaborate a little?

If Bioware still think the endings they made are 'perfect' even with the fan's reactions, I think I won't be interested in anything Bioware has to offer after that.

They need to seriously take a step back and look at how angry everyone is!

With Diablo 3, The Secret World and Guild Wars 2 all coming out soon I really dont need to buy anything from BW for a while anyway. Depends on BW how long that while will be.


Indeed.

Bioware fails us, there's enough Diablo III for the years to come. It's up to them if I'll put some money aside to still buy Bioware products in future while playing something else.

I'm still holding out for indoctrination theory, or some other retcon. If the Reapers' motivation really is to stop a technological singularity, and the Normandy really is stranded on some shoe-horned Garden of Eden/Adam and Eve reference planet, and Shepard is DEAD, and the Mass Relays are gone and Interstellar travel is no longer possible - then they have retroactively ruined the greatest sci-fi video game series of all time.

well fortunately Witcher 2 comes out on 4/17 on Xbox so my make or break date is then and if I do not like what I hear by then I will use ME3 as a trade in towards it...what is sad is that before DA2 I had never ever traded in a Bioware game and now it could be two in a row...

Agreed... i think most polls i've found is about 90% of the people hate the current endings... when 90% of your fans hate your current ending i think you should step back and just admit it isn't what they want... and if you want to keep the fans happy then give them what they want...

give us what we want Bioware...

If the ending that was implied via the precedent set by ME1&2 (and promised in the advertising lead up to ME 3) is not patched into the game or provided as free DLC I will not spend another cent on Bioware games.

Bethesda must be laughing at Bioware's epic stupidity and patting themselves on the back for the way they handled the gaming community's response to Fallout 3's ending.

^ topic:

If it turns out to be a bad news for us fans,
I'll never buy another BioWare game and move on to Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3 and never turn back.
I'll always remember to tell anyone I know who's buying video games to stay away from BioWare
Both GW2/D3 will be epic and I'm sure ArenaNet and Blizzard are smart enough to avoid making RPG with such huge ending controversy in the video gaming industry.

I'll continue waiting for March 17th for the FREE UPGRADE to The Witcher 2 and start a new playthrough. My faith in BioWare has taken a huge blow and if they botch it again it'll be truly irreparable.

It mark the end of my relationship with Bioware products and the ME universe and the beginning of my career as an BSN troll.

thanks. and yeah Bioware is kind of being too proud about their situation... they should just take a step back and realise that there is a reason so many fans are angry...

If they don't announce a major fix (either a dlc, an expansion, a patch, whatever) that gives us an actual ending it will be the last time I do business with bioware. If they'd just made a bad game, it wouldn't be so bad, it's that they've made a truly fantastic game series, then decided to urinate all over the end of the final game and call it "Art". That's why they've got until the end of PAX to announce something, because at the moment, it just feels like they're trolling, like it's a bad joke that's gone on too long.

Stop trusting anything BioWare says and never pre-order a BioWare game ever again.

I'm a Trekkie (not a crazy one, but a solid one) and I was ready for ME to be my new Trek -- or at least supplement it. I used to call ME "the best Star Trek game ever made." I was excited to think about all the cool stuff I could get: comics, books, shirts, hats, patches etc.

ME3 was to be the zenith of it all, the game that solidified everything for me. See, ME1 was my first RPG so I clumsily chugged through it, I only did side quests by accident. ME2, I did a few side quests and took my time a little more. But with ME3, I went all out, I still didn't do all the side quests, but I did the best I could and made a point to talk to every single person between missions to get the full story.

And it all wound up biting me in the ass.

There was so much potential, not just for ME3 or the story, but for a real, solid sci-fi franchise to rise up and finally take the reins from Star Wars and Trek... a passing of the torch maybe. But that potential was wasted completely.

Shatner said in The Captain's Summit that Gene Roddenberry knew the secret to entertainment. He knew that in the end, people tended to gravitate towards positive things, positive ideas. Trek had this in spades. So did Mass Effect... until that ending tried to get clever.

And now we know. Gene was right. Mass Effect has fallen and was cut short of its full potential.

Whatever, I'll just go buy seasons of DS9 and TOS. Sci-fi fans will always have Trek. Because Paramount's not stupid.


I would've thought that someone enjoying star trek would be able to forgive bad endings. TNG, DS9 anv Voyager all have pretty crappy endings, with the TNG one including a bunch of messed up time travel errors.

Still enjoyed all the other episodes of those series though. Well, not all, but most, there's a bunch of other "not so good" episodes apart from the ending ones to Posted Image

It's less likely to be a disaster for me, since I'm one of the few who think clarification could actually work. I'm not saying we don't understand the ending. We understand what was given to us. It's all of the speculation that I have a problem with. If BioWare addresses enough of the speculation and clears things up, the ending could work. Will it be great? No. I will have issues with the Crucible and Catalyst no matter what. But I think BioWare could clarify and provide closure, and I would at least be able to accept the ending for what it is. As it stands right now, I am mostly just speculating, which hasn't led to any kind of satisfying conclusion.

If it does end up being a disaster for me, I will still try to enjoy the Mass Effect games, and still consider BioWare titles in the future. I just won't jump in blindly or pre-order, or get excited about their games like I used to.

I think Bioware is trying very hard to get rid of the old costumers , well they can live without my money , and i can live without rushed and unfinished "artistic" games.


Costumers? Didnt realize that Bioware had people that make costumes.

If it turns out bad - I will put all my ME disks on a shelf somewhere, let them gather dust indefinitely. Cancel my SWTOR account, run away and never ever look back.

I still hold a tiny amount of hope, but I'm not letting it grow any bigger than what it is because history teaches me I will more than likely be disappointed.

If that's the case.. I'll chalk it up to the developers having read Song of Ice and Fire too many times and taken up George R.R. Martin's taste for killing off favorite characters when you least expect it (only to bring them back as a zombie?? Bioware would definitely be trolololing us then.)
