Honestly, yes, I think I would have bought it.
Because I think I would have missed what they had said. I have been offline for a very, very long time (just online once in a while).
I have only seen that "everything you do, will matter", which, to me, was pretty obvious. Why else continue the game...
However, I have built up my own hype, since Mass Effect has been so great - so I was dissapointed, even before I knew anyone else was. I learned that people were upset at the ending, but I hadn't come that far - I was disappointed in things before that.
Oh, and I downloaded the Demo (and loved it) the day before release here, didn't even know the release date, so I was "super-hyped".
Would you have bought ME3 if the developers had spoken the truth about every single thing?

well DA2 ( rise of champion, decade long story) and ME3 take back earth (to stone age), i do not plan on pre ordering bio games. will switch them to wait and see approach. If the recent trend continues their games will also be available for a big discount in like 2-3 weeks after release.

Yeah I don't really understand why I pre-ordered the game after playing the demo actually. Unlike you I didn't like it, and I thought that the only redeeming factor was ME3's gameplay, which is significantly better than ME2's. Still, I guess I wanted that closure too.
Turns out I didn't get it at all! Awwwwwww yeah.

I think I had made up so much hope of my own (like I really thought that I'd be able to - maybe not all the way, but at least at some point - have Wrex fighting by my side, et cetera - things like that)
I have read (well, it was a lot about it on the Internet, when I had to look for clues, due to the lousy journal) that very many didn't like the Demo, so I think I'm kind of almost the only one who did like it..maybe... ;-)

Love your post OP, I was totally cracking up. I think I still would have bought the game, but I would have waited for the price to drop. $20 bucks is about the most I'd pay for it.

If they had actually said that before ME3 launched I think I would've laughed and not taken those points seriously at all. THAT's how hard it is for me to believe BioWare botched the ending so badly.

I really don't know if I could buy the game under those circumstances. I would've felt as if I was left out to dry by Bioware. So, probably not. I definitely wouldn't have paid the extra money for the Collector's Edition

Eventually probably. Once the prices dropped. Definitely not a preorder of the CE edition on both PC and 360.

No. I put off my pre-order until February, and struggled with the decision to even get the CE. If they had been truthful about the endings and other things, like the auto-dialog or treatment of some ME2 characters, I wouldn't have bought it until the price dropped to $19.99 or so. Of course, I'd have been stunned if they had come out with suicidal PR like that.

I remember what I posted after the demo. That the kid was horrible, mostly. That it was a bad omen, a symptom of crappy writing that I was convinced would return. It did return, despite people calling me a nitpicker, a hater and a troll. I even had a mod close one of my threads because he thought I was trolling. Just imagine that. Not even two months ago, and people here had so much faith in Bioware that criticising threads got closed because people just could not fathom Bioware doing anything so blatantly wrong.
One of the things that really amused me was that most people seemed to agree the kid was horrible, but some chose to go in denial mode and went "it's all a hallucination!"
The exact same thing happened on a larger scale later on, when they came up with the indoctrination theory to explain the bad endings. I never tried to justify it like that. I know bad writing when I see it, and I was not surprised.
Just hopelessly hopeful.
