I still haven't bought Dragon Age 2 just because of the ridiculous insistence on pre-ordering three months in advance to get the full game. But unless they insult my sensibilities again, I'll continue to be a customer.

[darkshadow136]

Yes ME3 is the last Bioware game I will buy. I stopped buying anything Dragonage related after DA2, and for me ME was all I had left that I wanted from Bioware. They ruined that series for me as well, so my business with them is done.

Why? Biowares statement about the DLC is already 100% clear on this point, they're not fixing anything, they're just going to throw some cinematics at the game and say "here's a fix" wich is just another way to say F-U to the customers. It's a show for the audience (journalists) so it will seem like they're listening to their customers when in fact they are not, it's called damage control.

More accurately, it's saying F-U to the particular group of upset customers who didn't like the entire concept of the endings. The folks who have been complaining about not understanding what's going on and the ones who think they understood what was going on but really didn't will be served by the EC. Even the "happy ending" folks might get what they want if they can stomach the Red ending (at least, that's what I inferred from a tweet; could be wrong).

As for what percentage of the disgruntled fans are in each group..... beats me.

I think it's ridiculous and immature to wish Bioware any specific ill will or want the company to go down just because of the uproar over ME3. One can only hope they learned some valuable lessons about what happened with the bugs and everything else and make a better game down the road.

Would I buy another Bioware game in the future? Definitely. But would I buy it right at launch day? Possibly. In the past it wouldn't be a question but for the future, it will be different. Nonetheless I don't want Bioware to go under and pull a Shenmue on us and not give us the next installment of Dragon Age!

money hungry, arrogant companies, never learn anything.  and when they do, is way too late.    when a company looses it's trust from the costumers,   it is like a broken glass,  trying to glue the pieces together.

i think that the Bioware we knew once,  the company that made some great games, with  great stories, where the player's choices mattered.    no longer exists.

I don't buy EA games anymore as I'm no longer in their target audience. Every game series has become much worse after trying to appeal to a wider audience.

I agree but that is to be expected when a company grows or gets acquired.  Just like you're not going to get the same kind of service with a mom and pop store versus a commercialized behemoth (or if the mom & pop store becomes that behemoth), you're not going to get the same level of quality when companies like Bioware get eaten up.  They have different types of pressures to deal with, different bosses to answer to many of them obviously concerened about the bottom line, unrealistic release schedules, and dressing up their earnings reports.  When it inevitably comes to that, the rest of the story is pretty obvious.  

But would videogames in general be better if Bioware goes under?  I'd bet you it won't

[Majin Paul]

 No, because it appears that Bioware is still making games, so I'll decide based on how good the game looks, not based on one games possible bad or not bad ending.

[Swordfishtrombone]

No, though it was the last Bioware game I'll pre-order, and simply skipping on a Bioware title based on fan reviews is no longer unthinkable for me, as it would have been some years ago.

In other words, I've gone from a 100% certain customer to a potential customer, and it's all to do with the underhanded marketing tactics employed by Bioware/EA (like the tie-in of multiplayer with single player, and the fact that not all single player content is available without playing multiplayer, contrary to what Bioware employees have been claiming). This, in addition to the shocking drop in quality of writing with the ending of ME3 has eroded my trust in what has long been my favorite game producer.

The experience has tought me to be more careful with Bioware titles, and not preorder, or rush into the store on the release day. If the ending to ME3 is properly fixed, which I'm pessimistic about, then I'll be buying future ME3 DLCs too. If not, then I'll skip on them.

[Degs29]

Definitely not.  I'll be looking into the next Dragon Age game for sure, and probably the next ME RPG/FPS.

That said, I'll probably go lighter on the ME3 DLC than I planned on being, and whereas before I would have definitely given an ME MMORPG a chance previously, I may not now.  It's not that I think the quality will be any different than before, it's just that I'm a little turned-off the Mass Effect series by ME3's ending.

[Leem_0001]

Yes - if the ending is ot fixed, and fixed properly then I am done with them.

[magnutz06]

Covered in mist, the future is..... Reveal my choice, Extended Cut shall

[Sarah_SR2]

I would definitely buy more games from BioWare. I've said in one or two other posts that I didn't feel ME3 was the masterpiece game I'd expected, but even so I played it, I enjoyed it and I'll be playing it again soon with my latest femshep. I think the main issue I had was that I loved ME2 so much and kind of expected the third game to be much of the same. In some aspects I thought it was better, other areas I thought it was worse. I just found some of the missions, especially in act one, to be dull but enjoyed act 2 a hell of a lot more. The ending wasn't great I'll admit but I felt more disappointment with Priority : Earth's plot holes and rushed feel than the stuff on the Citadel because I'd resigned myself to the ending and was prepared for it. Where ME2 was a definite "love at first sight" for me, I'm hoping that ME3 will be one that "just grows on you". I'm still quIte new to modern day gaming (been playing for just over a year now) but I know good games when I see and play them and the ME games are great. So, I still love you BioWare and I'm not ashamed to say that )

With the ME3 ending we have, yes. If they make it better with the EC dlc, Idk. We'll see in summer.

[BloodyFleelancer]

Well ME was the only BW game I played and this is screwd so I think other games will be screwd too , so yeeas this is the last game

[Lycius]

Unfortunately yes.

Q: Is Mass Effect 3 going to be the last Bioware game you buy?

A: I can not say for any certainty on ME3 will be the "last" game, but I can say with 100% certainty that ME3 was the last collectors editions pre-order I will buy from these hacks.

Other then a few moments of joy during the Tuchanka mission (and getting back together with Garrus again) the rest of the game just felt like I was going thru the motions -- I had zero emotional connection with anybody this game.

And the one person who I absolutely hated in ME2, Jack, who I thought was shown really decent emotional growth, was nothing more then a bunch of cobbled cut-sceens.

ME1: Hey, you have up to 6 squad mates to recurit. Players: Yo' BioWare.. 6 may have been a bit limited, perhaps a few more? ME2, hey we listened to you, here are 12. Players: BioWare... a few more from 6 isn't 12. Ok, how about this, can we get 8-9? ME: Hey, we listened to you, you only get "6" squad mates again...

[StreetEffect]

Course I will! Loved all 3 Mass Effects, Both Dragon Ages where good (1 being better) I'm sick of reading into the ending, I personally don't mind the ending but I look forward to extended cut, I'm 1 achievement away from 100% and I'm happily awaiting DLC. In my eyes Bioware didn't have to craft this universe, lore and characters for us so why bully artists into doing what "fans" want because no matter what someone will still complain.

[Dridengx]

No, I purchase every game from Bioware that's good and that so far has been almost all of them. I plan to buy the next ME, the next DA for sure. I won't purchase TOR, MMOs are not my thing, too much devotion to a virtual character

[HenchxNarf]

Nope, I'll continue to support Bioware because their games are amazing.

[hitorihanzo]

I'm not buying another BioWare game because of a myriad of reasons, the latest being that I can't play the DLC that I rightly paid for unless I am online. I bought the DLC at GameStop, went to a friend's house, downloaded the DLC, and tried to take it home to play it. Stupid me. This, combined with the endings, the PR response, etc, just makes me think that BioWare as a company, are a bunch of dicks. I don't like how they do business, so I'm not going to give them mine. Matter of fact, I'm taking the entire trilogy to GameStop and trading them in.

[AtreiyaN7]

No, it won't be the last for me. However, if it's the last game for a whole bunch of people, then maybe that portends fewer posts involving self-indulgent whinging in the future.

[malikstarks2]

We'll see, depending on the title I may buy it used. I think people saying they will never play another Bioware game may just be caught up in emotion at this point (no offense to them because I understand). To be honest I've really only played the Mass effect series, and DA2 (which I actually enjoyed) so I wasn't exactly a fanboy to begin with.

[JonathonPR]

No. That was my DA2 preorder.

[Nefla]

No. Even if the ending DLC sucks hardcore, I will buy the next RPG. If that one sucks too then I'm done. I figure 3 strikes is fair (DA2, ME3, potential 3rd game) considering all the Bioware games I have loved in the past.
