EA crossed a line by rushing ME3

It is clear that they do not care about their customers or their business, so I feel it is my obligation as a consumer to boycott them. I will no longer purchase EA games, not even Madden and I'm a big football fan.

All that being said, I will give BioWare a chance at redemption (even though they are owned by EA). If the EC can save Mass Effect or I.T. is shown to be a cliffhanger for Shepard's return in ME4... then OK, I will be willing to give BioWare/EA a chance simply because of BW's prior track record of excellence. Even then I will be very suspicious and I will certainly look closely at launch deadlines and rumors about rushed product.

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

Embarassing but absolutely true.

Nice, very excited for Sim City, and still need to play Kingdoms.

To be honest, their lineup isn't looking that appealing to me, nor would I expect it to to many RPG fans.

However, if ME3 was going to be their big blockbuster, wouldn't it have made more sense to release in the summer period? I guess the quaterly pressure of shareholders might have pushed this, but it just goes to show ME3's reaction won't have a big impact until something like DA3 comes out.

Won't be buying these then.

[KotorEffect3]

If a game looks like it is worth my purchase than I buy it. Doesn't matter what logo is on the box.

It all depends on the EC. They had better not forget about the Harbinger boss battle and conversation or they can forget about my wallet.

I doubt you will get a harbinger battle but a conversation at the very minimum would be nice.

If I was in the same situation as you people wanting to boycott EA, I wouldn't really be able to. Simcity & generals 2 would be a hard thing to keep away from.

To be honest I'll get Crysis 3, enjoyed Crysis 2. Crytek is a great developer, but hopefully Crysis 3 will not be rushed. Still interested in DA3, but for both games I'll wait and see how they turn out before I purchase them.

[Zamnil Blackaxe]

None of those titles even look appealing to me, the only games that I even bothered with that EA published was the Mass Effect series and now that that's over and done what reason do I have to continue to support this ****ty, decrepit, corrupt excuse of a publisher?

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with computing gaming in general, almost every title I buy leaves me dissapointed with the end, too bored to continue after mission/level/stage 2 and regretting the fact I can't get a refund on PC games unless the disc is damaged beyond repair. And even then they try to stiff you with store credit or an exchange. **** 'em, **** 'em all.

I don't see how that's too much to ask for in this game, a final boss battle with the leader of the Reapers.  How could they be in their right minds if they didn't include this?  It would be awesome.  Did you see the size of that beast?  There is so much potential there!  Instead we're forced to fight that damn retarded Kai Leng.  Well, ok, he's not retarded, I actually liked Kai Leng.  However, this should not be a substitute for a Harbinger boss battle.

If people will pay top dollar for mediocre games that rely on microtransactions to get the full experience then EA will continue to publish them.  Enjoy where it takes you.

not picking any of those up, thanks for the information

Do whatever feels right by you.

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

Well I will say that due to EA's poor handling of Dead Space 2's MP connection issues and just plain horrible MP setup, DS2's handcannon issue, Crysis 2's massive MP cheating problem and how they just ditched support for their precious BF3 coupled with ME 3's disappointment means that I will be hard pressed to buy Crysis 3 at launch. As it stands i know 100% that i won't be buying Dead Space 3 at launch and will likely wait 3 months until it's 2/3rds off

I think I'll be rounding out the Crysis and Dead Space IPs and then casting off from EA entirely. EA is a leech. They buy up great IP, suck the life out of it through cheap, short-term tactics, throw away said IP and the Dev and then restart the cycle.

The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats (June 5, 2012)

Seriously?
WHAT THE F**K!?!
Anyway If a game looks good to me I'll buy it especially based on Developer...
I don't particularly care much about publishers...
Unless you know they influence the Devs Ideas and Writing of the game or something...
But that's just Crazy
Also, Shank 2 came out?
I loved the first one!

Wow, with a lineup like that, EA may be filing for bankruptcy soon. They better announce something impressive at E3, or they are doomed.

I didn't say that Harbinger battle wasn't a good idea because it is but I just don't think there will be one.  However a decent Harbinger encounter would be nice.

It would be good for gaming after the initial shock.  Their stock keeps diving lower and lower.

Shepard: Harbinger!
Harbinger: Shepard!
Shepard: Harbinger!
Harbinger: Shepard!
Shepard: You've got a lot of explaining to do, Mr. Man.
Harbinger: *Sigh* I know, I know...

As momentous as a Harbinger battle would be, I sort of agree with the devs... that it would come off as contrived and expected. Some sort of conflict, yes. Boss battle a la Zelda? Not so much.

Would kind of suck when they pull the plug on the Origin servers and none of us are able to play any of the games we purchased from them.

If Bioware were to go that route I vote they go the Dead Space 2 Direction and just Make the Final Boss inside of Sheps mind....and if he Fails BAM spike in the head....The Games already M so Why not?
