I was a big fan of the Battlefield franchise before they made BF3 Origin-only. I still haven't played or purchased that game. Now Bioware has joined the lineup and left me with no choice but to once again vote with my wallet and abandon their products. Good luck with your "artistic vision" and EA.

Unless the "clarification" DLC is brilliant, I don't plan on buying Dragon Age III. (There are other RPG developers out there, especially lots of great independent studios that need my support more.)

Despite being made by different teams, the endings to Dragon Age II and Mass Effect 3 suffering the same problem. Bioware was so in love with its "artistic vision" that they insisted all players experience the same kind of ending. This is cool if you're into a linear narrative, but Bioware claims to be all about the "interactive storytelling". That's largely an illusion.

Boycotting incoming.

Sure, but I probably wont pre-order it and read the first fan reviews.

hated dragon age 2 aparth from Meril harwke was a tool and the choices had no effect i too gave Bioware a second chance with mass effect 3 but their decision with the cureent ending as it stands made the decision for me im out and i now have 2 drink coasters in the form of discs go figure

[thesnake777]

I dont know. I'll be taking a wait and see approach on all of this.

I will not be buying DA3 based on DA2; I will not be buying Bioware based on DA2, KOTOR, and ME3's ending debacle. Let em circle the drain, I don't need to watch the entire flush. They've gotten enough of my money. Sad they used to make great games. . . oh well!

The DA2 endings make sense, and weren't filled with plot holes.Really, the whole culmination of the Mage/Templar battle for Kirkwall was a logical progression for the game, and there were no new characters suddenly introduced for the sake of an artsy fartsy ending. Granted, they DID make it far too open ended - but it seemed like that was in anticipation of making a post-game expansion, ala Awakening. Then, later on, we find out they WERE planning to do the expansion, but decided not to, to pursue "other opportunities for the franchise." And hopefully that wasn't code for "Make crappy anime movies".

I'll wait for user reviews on BSN.

[LegendaryBlade]

Hahaha. Haha.

No

I wasn't even considering it after DAII. ME3 has nothing to do with my decision.

[MeganHunter]

Oh I'm definitely done pre-ordering, not on origin or steam or Gamestop or anywhere. From now on I'm waiting for user reviews (*not* magazine reviews.) I'm quite sure that I'm not banning past or future BioWare games in my house, they deserve more respect than that if only for the countless awesome titles they gave us before. But they've had too many misses lately, which makes them pretty much just like any other video game company. Before I just needed to hear BioWare and knew I was shelling out for as much content as possible (probably the beginning of the end, now that I think about it.) Now I'll wait a day or three to see what folks think.

[CheeseEnchilada]

I wasn't about to pre-order it after DA2. I'll be much more careful about marketing after ME3, and wait until people I trust buy it first and tell me their opinion.

[BWGungan]

**** no.

Dragon Age 2 was lackluster, but by itself, I wouldn't be compelled to avoid DA3.

Even without DA2, however (let's just say that is was DA:O only so far), I would not feel comfortable buying DA3 until months after release with rave reviews thanks to ME3.

I think ME3 has hurt initial DA3 sales. Adding DA2, I predict a dismal release (but I'm no market analyst).

Sad because ME3 isn't a bad game. The ending just overshadows it so much that I lose focus on the rest.

Will you be an early adopter to DA3?

Would you go as far as getting pre-order and/or collector editions?

I think not, but not because of ME3. If I had any hope DA3 would be of anything remotely resembling ME3 quality (ending aside) I would certainly get it. But the DA series is kind of bland IMO. The world is so much rehashed fantasy tropes and the stories clunkily told. DA2 had some promising ideas but was weighed down by it's uninspiring combat and the endless repition of locations. The need to make a quantum leap to get me to come back to that franchise.

[twizbuck]

You mean after ME3 and DA2, am I going to go out and pay for DA3?

No.

[joiner87]

no

[Bojan1es]

With clarity and more closure..

NO

[webhead921]

The real question is: After ME3, will you buy Dragon Age 3 day one, and then come to BSN and complain about it for months? And the answer for most people is: Yes.

[Byriok]

Depends on what they show, I didn't have much of an issue with DA2 because I knew what it was before I bought it by keeping up with researching the game.

But ultimately it'll depend on how well done the new extended ending is for ME3.
Artistic vision is one thing, but crappy artistic vision should not be defended, but corrected after admitting its shortcoming.

I'm not all too thrilled with how they're handling ME3 right now, and DA3 is being completely redone so it won't be coming out anytime soon.

Collector's edition sucked last time with DA2, so unless they offer a better package overall I won't be adopting early blindly like before or any of their promotion events for crappy belts and rings.

[Dranks]

After Dragon Age 2 I will not be playing Dragon Age 3 on release.

[The_Animal81]

I enjoyed DA2, just wish that it actually had some sort of story but I will not touch DA2 until i have read reviews and the forums to see how good the game actually turns out

Considering the way BW has wrapped up trilogies recently, no thanks.
