Another SimCity? I wonder if it'll be more involved than the last one that came out?

And I have no reason to boycott EA. EA is just the financial backer. Yes, they have some influence (sometimes a lot) in how a game is developed, but even EA couldn't coerce someone into destroying an entire franchise with ten minutes of game play.

I think you need to do some some research on how EA, and publishers in general work. That's in no way true. EA has done it with tons of studios rushing crappy products to try and meet quarter deadlines for their stock reports. They've killed tons of IPs and a few small studios.

I'm pretty well versed in how publishers work.  I even said that EA has influence in how games are developed.  But to blame EA for destroying the franchise... That's a serious leap.  I can't prove they didn't, but there's no way to prove they did, either.  While I don't agree with many of their decisions, to claim that they intentionally guided one of the best selling and most loved franchises in the history of gaming into a flaming pit of ruin is just asinine.  That would be the equivalent of saying a car dealership's owner took a bat to every single car on his lot for the sake of profit.

Can we start a movement in parallel/tandem to this to petition Bioware to break away from EA? Perhaps my naivete just hasn't been broken, yet, but I'm starting to become of the mind that Bioware would have produced a better Mass Effect series (referring to a lot more besides the endings here), if EA didn't have a death grip over their studio.

The Moses of game developers needs to approach EA, demand that his studios be let go, and then part something with its divine power.

i've stopped myself from getting BF3, kingdoms of amalur, and even DA2 in the discount bin...

[WolfForce99]

I will not be buying any of those game. But I did buy Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning before I got Mass Effect 3 and I recomend Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning if you like Fable or Skyrm.

i honestly hope the EC won't suck so i can start playing BF3 or amalur... but if it does then there are other developers & publishers worthy of my cash...

Pretty much the same for me.  The only one I had been considering on that list was Overstrike (and I bought KoA before ME3 came out)

[StElmo]

So ME3 was the highlight of the year and their PR/Marketing/Production botched it? WOW

Do whatever feels right by you.

Personally, I won't be spending a dime on anything carrying the EA logo.

LOL I don't care about EA, these are all bad games, and I won't buy them for that reason.

[BatmanPWNS]

Those are pretty dead games.

[FodoSatoru]

I don't like sport games, sim games and C&C. Other titles I don't recognize, so I assume they are out of my area of interest.

[J0HNL3I]

maybe the battlefield dlc but im not sure tbh, i'd play call of duty if i wanted maps like that

[EagleScoutDJB]

I don't plan on boycotting EA specifically, I'm just not going to be buying anymore games that come with online passes or day one DLC.

I'll vote with my opinion. If they make a game I like, I'll buy it. No overblown fan outcry to a game that I enjoyed will convince me to run with the herd.

[Cutlass Jack]

Not sure what this has to do with ME3 story/campaign, but thanks for the shopping list! I knew there were a few things I forgot to preorder.

[Fireblader70]

I'm considering buying 'Overstrike' because it's developed by Insomniac Games, who are technically independent of any large publisher. EA does not factor into the equation because, let's face it, buying the game will not allow them to rule the world, it will instead help out Insomniac who I believe have fallen slightly since the PS2 era. I also love their games.

EA has to submit to the will of the people anyway. If they do not, they will die out.

[Beernun]

Everyone remember this when E3 comes around.

[feliciano2040]

You guys do realize this also applies to Mass Effect 3 DLC you know ?

Most likely people will rationalize this entire situation by thinking somehow that DLC does not help EA.

They will be dead wrong of course.

[lordofdogtown19]

Madden is the only one on that list that I'm even remotely interested in

Nah I'll probably rationalize it by thinking "I want that."
Which is how I rationalize most game purchases.

[Pottumuusi]

I wasn't going buy them anyway but now I'll make sure really not to buy them.

[darkway1]

No more EA games or DLC for me......they needlessly destroyed the MASS franchise as far as I'm concerned.

[BDelacroix]

None of those interest me anyway.

[LadyJaneGrey]

Wait a minute...you mean the Katy Perry expansion is real?

Nothing wrong about this !

Unless you are a retaker boycotting Bioware and EA.

[Evanz]

already voted - skipped purchase of amalur.
