If none of our complaints are heard, i think i'll abandon this account and also stop buying Bioware games.
If the announcement is some DLC that explains what endings we now have, i'll abandon this account to make Bioware notice. I'll stop buying their games, i'll stop spreading info to my friends, or lend them my Bioware games (even tho that is now impossible with 3) and stop discussing things that are then meaningless to talk about.

Anyone plan to do the same thing? I'd just love it ,if this announcement turns out to be a disaster, for the Bioware Mass Effect forums to just go completely dark, and for Bioware to really understand "Oops, we messed up bad".

In the end that would be the only way for Bioware to listen to us.

Wooow, since you have sooo much power they have to comply.....<_<

If enough people just abandon the company and cease to buy their stuff... they will notice... they will notice the drop in sales.
it's the one thing they would truly notice

After Kotor, especially, Bioware can do no wrong for me (well they can, but I won't hold it against them). In the past 10 years they've improved massively on what they once were, sorting out their constant bug issues and improving on game-play as well as the writing behind the games. If they continue that same rate of improvement for the next few years I can't even begin to imagine how great future Bioware games can become.

ME1 was simply a fantastic and innovative game. Dragon Age had me spellbound, ME2 was, and still is, loads of fun to play and Bioware has been in the forefront of improving their games and game technology for almost a decade now. Even if they mess up once in a while that isn't going to stop me from buying quality games.

If they do something stupid as introduce impossible and utterly pointless DRM like a certain Ubisoft are doing at the moment, then that's another story.

At this stage there's probably nothing Bioware can do that will mollify the anger caused by the ending(s).

Pretty much this.  They've lost too much respect and that's not something easily earned back.  not even with 10 dollar clarification DLC. 

At any rate, safe to say I'll be quitting gaming for awhile, this entire experience has really left a bad taste in my mouth (my hobby of 15 years or more    - bioware/EA can count themselves on my **** list, and Ill encourage my friends to stop buying their stuff, or pirate but...at this point I don't think any of their games are worth the effort of doing such.

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.

This.

I think the ending we have might have been okay if it had been done right in the first place (you know, without the plot holes and the like). By now it has been ridiculed beyond salvaging, with both fan humor and BioWare's (bad) attempts to defend it. Expanding the existing ending just won't save the game anymore.

I'll probably stop buying. Been hard for me already since they stopped supporting Mac platform with ME and some other games. Will probably still play some MP (on my partner's computer), and will do my best to finish my "better ending" fan fic. And I will forever remain puzzled over how professional storytellers could actually consider something so obviously flawed in any way satisfying, let alone something to be proud of. What are they teaching in schools these days?

Simply put: I will no longer invest any more money in Bioware products. In fact, I already vowed to never buy a game published by EA - Mass Effect being the one and only exception due to its awesomeness.

Now, I simply can walk away when I see "EA" or "Bioware" and spend my money elsewhere - they do still have enough customers after all.

[SpartenN7]

back to Cod, at least Activision can give closure and fully prepared endings..I rather spend $15 on map packs than a $15 closure ending Bull$%it that should be included in the $60 i spent! lol

Bioware will not get a single penny from me again, including TOR. I will also write a heartfelt thank you to all of you guys here at BSN, and find a reason to get banned from these forums in protest. That way they will have put more work into shutting me up than they put into the endings.

HERO.

[SetecAstronomy]

After the announcement, I will take a few weeks off the BSN and then return in the hope that everyone left here will just want to talk about the game and not all this politics.

[ardias89]

I would feel empty...

[Bizantura]

Move on, play other games. No need to buy clarification dlc and all other dlc's won't matter with this bad ending.
See what DA3 be like and maybe buy in bargain bin if it is any good.
Preordering like before is a no go.

[orenjikitty]

I will officially write off ME3 as the worst ending to a series, surpassing the Matrix. I will then finish it again for the sake of getting my platinum trophy, and sell my copy. Goodbye Bioware and DA:O's platinum. I will never see you ever again.

PAX is the last straw for me for Bioware. I might boycott EA for some time but it'll be hard since I do like SSX.

*holds the line*

[Giskler]

PAX is the point of no return for a great many fans. Bioware has to be very careful about how they handle it.

[Arokel]

PAX is it.

If the situation is not salvaged by then I will be done.

I will remember BioWare fondly. Before EA got ahold of them and ran them into the ground.

[clarkusdarkus]

well for the first week after completing mass effect 3 i was indenial, i thought man they really didnt mean that ending and will sort it, fast forward 3 weeks and im done,nothing but PR scripted talk, the retake had no effect so for me its just left a bad taste in my mouth, to the point where games just dont interest me as its such a commercial society now which is all well and good and im for it, but when u mess up like they did and dont rectify it aswell as mock the ppl that bought ur game then im done.

[Beti88]

Nothing. I just won't give any more of my money to them.

[viceywicey]

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place on this one. Bioware is currently making Generals 2 (I LOVED Generals....DO NOT FORGET ME....CHINNAAAA....). But on the other hand, I would hate to support a company that committed literary suicide in the ending narrative. Character developement, rising action, and gameplay aside (Tuchanka and the Geth were BEAUTIFULLY DONE! WHAT HAPPENED?), not sure I could stomach another failure. Hell, I was more broken up over ME3 than I was about being dumped by my ex. Generals 2 might be worth a second-hand purchase at best and I'd rather support Gamestop than a company that tries and fails to be edgy.

Capslock is cruise control for cool.

[JunMadine]

I have already stopped playing mass effect games. The current ending has destroyed all the appeal of replaying for me. I have no interest in any DLC that has no impact on the ending. I have as of now lost faith for the dragonage series and although I love star wars I wouldn't get a console version of swtor. I will write a goodbye to bioware and all of you and terminate my account one week after. I may also loose my interest in video games for awhile. I REALLY don't want that to happen, but if I am not going to get my money's worth then I will say goodbye.

I will laugh because that is what Bioware be at that point a complete joke...

i have AC 3, Darksiders 2, The Witcher 2 , Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, XIII Versus, Dragon Dogma, RE 6, Starcraft 2:  Heart of the Swarm all coming out this year... why would I need to cry tears over Bioware.

If Versus XIII actually comes out this year I'll buy myself  hat just so I can eat it.

Hear you on the others though.


I wil confess that I will probably still get DA3, because I actually liked DA2 and the series was never pegged as an epic trilogy, ergo I'll just have a compelling character-driven fantasy narrative without any 'big answers' I don't need. But I will be done with ME3, perhaps less because of the disappointing announcement and more that I just can't bring myself to play it again so the announcement would be the only thing that could re-ignite some interest.

Trade in ME1 and 2, sell my art book and Normandy miniatures and go back to playing old games from before the companies started sucking.

Same for me pretty much. No matter what they announce at PAX there's going to be a massive bundle of whining on the forums. So I'll probably see what they're going to do, and then avoid the forums and  start into my third play through of ME3. Not sure my sanity can take this place much longer.

[Jvolikas]

 I'm honestly not getting my hopes up that good DLC will come out of this.  I'll refuse to buy DLC for this and probably boycott the next Bioware project.

[Stryl]

I will never purchase another BioWare product. Despite the fact that they will probably come out with great games in the future, I will not be able to trust them again. I do not want to pay good money to be disappointed.
