I slogged through finishing DA2, and afterwards realised that I didn't like it because I had no connection to the story. I liked the characters, but the chapters had nothing joining them together.

And the ending was bad. So I never bought any DLC.

ME3 on the other hand, didn't feel like a slog. The narrative flowed, the characters were engaging and made me care about what happened to them. Then I reached the ending.

And the ending was bad. So I'll never buy any DLC.

After 2 bad endings, Bioware, you need to get your act together. The EC is your last chance, your potential third strike. Otherwise I'm out.

I'm never preordering a bioware game again and will not first day buy either. They messed up way to much already. If EC is a bust then no matter how "good" a future mass effect game is, I will wait till its <15 dollars to buy or straight out ignore the game.

Pretty sure most others will do something similar.

Remember, money speaks!

It will always be on a case-by-case basis for me. Depends on what the DLC is.

If 20th Century Fox turned out a bad movie, I'm not going to stop watching all 20th Century Fox films.

I was all pumped to see Prometheus as I am a huge fan of the Alien films, I'm not going to avoid all his films now just because I felt he dropped the ball (big time) with Prometheus.

Loved ME1, ME2, KOTOR, and Jade Empire. I think TOR is "meh" (but then again I've never been able to get into MMOs to the point that I'd cough up the monthly subscription fee). And I loved ME3 for the most part, despite thinking the ending sucked. I'm not going to boycott Bioware just because they dropped the ball on the ending of one game, when I otherwise enjoyed it.

I never played DA or DA2, so if there are problems there, I am unaware of them.

Its not because ME3 was a bad game that I'll not be buying their products.  It is because their promotional interviews were misleading on what to expect in game.  They also blatantly discarded charcter development of some of the ME2 cast to save 'resources' with the aim of increasing profit rather than creating a fitting end to their TRILOGY.  If a customer picks a path through choices provided by a BW in the previous two games only to have those choices essentially turn out to be wrong that is an insult...    especially when you consider what they spent some of these precious resources on (Allers).

I don't see how you're coming to the conclusion that people have forgiven BW.  Considering the 'hold the line' folks have their own site dedicated to that whole idea - I'd say you're wrong.

What's the url for that site now?

[Faded-Myth]

Depends. I care a great deal about the Mass Effect universe for reasons pretty much everyone else has already covered. I feel like I'd be doing it an injustice if I abandoned the series, though I'm conflicted by my massive disappointment in BioWare. I remember before ME3 came out expressing my confidence in them, claiming them to be the best writers in the game industry, and saying, (and I quote), "BioWare wouldn't frak up their biggest franchise".

Thanks for proving me wrong on that part, BioWare.

The thing is, I see this for what it is; a singular, yet immensely consequential, mistake. BioWare are still good writers, and the majority of the Mass Effect series is still fantastic. I'd be willing to give them another go, but they really need to prove that they haven't just pissed all over the series in the name of being artsy and called it a day.

[RADIUMEYEZ]

If EC is a complete piece of crap I doubt I will buy any products from them again. If I end up buying Dragon Age 3 I will buy it used from Gamestop or something.

[Computer_God91]

I'd probably buy whatever product they might sell in the future if it interests me enough. Unlike most people on these boards I didn't going screaming with pitch forks demanding for Bioware's head. So it really depends what it might be. I did purchase the Xbox copy of ME3 because I oppose Origin. I'll never buy a game that requires Origin on my PC because I don't want that program on my computer. So if they do something along those lines then I wouldn't by. In short: Depends what it is.

[Gladiater56]

I am one of those people that saw the ME3 ending as nothing less than a betrayal of trust. I see soooo many plot holes in the ending that if EC manages to patch them all, I will be very impressed and might give BEAoware some verbal congratulations on how they managed to repair the FUBAR ending they call "bittersweet". HOWEVER I am never buying a product from Bioware again.

If EC does not completely blow my mind I will no longer be a customer with EA/Bioware.  End of story.

Why on earth would I want to continue to buy games from a company that had me play 120+ hours for a conclusion that was complete nonsense & destroyed a entire series?

On the other hand, if they can pull this off it will go down as one of the best games of all time.

[Yalision]

Damage is done here. I won't be picking up DA3 until it is heavily discounted. If at all, regarding its reception. I'm done being toyed with. Same with the likes of Lionhead. The only dependable developers are the people with Todd Howard.

DA3 will be made by a different team that has, to my knowledge, no real connection to the ME3 team. DA2 dlc was a big step up from the main game as well so it seems they learned their lesson at least. Now to see if it sticks. From the marketing we'll be able to see what DA3 will be like. If it focuses overly much on AWESOME COMBAT then the story probably won't be much good, neither will the characters. I won't be buying it first day that's for sure. I don't trust BioWare enough for that any more.

Buying ME3 dlc is pretty much ruled out at this point. Perhaps if they hadn't treated us like whining brats after that ending debacle I might have been inclined to buy some dlc IF the EC solves anything. As it stands now though.... no way!

[Doctor Uburian]

I'm not going to abandon the series, but Bioware? Probably yes.

I hope they prove me wrong, though.

Depends on EC if it can win me back, then maybe, but if it fails, then, I will stop playing Mass Effect series and pretend that the ME3 ending never happened and put those games a side, and play Halo4 and Borderlands 2, as there is no Fallout 4 , Damn you Bethesda, Damn you!!!!

Not trying to start a fight here, but i think a large majority of you would. Large enough to give Bioware the idea that no matter how bad they screw us, you'll keep giving them money. Because I remember 3 months ago, almost everybody was talking about holding the line/wallet, and how Bioware will never see another penny from them again.

Now not so much. Seems like a lot of you have forgiven Bioware. If i'm wrong, feel free to tell me how wrong i am, but i've seen this kind of thing before. Consumers complain and complain, and yet they keep buying the companies products. I do know of some specific people on here, that will probably stick to their guns, but i'm not sure about the rest of you.

I never said I won't anything Bioware again. But for sure I won't buy any DLC for ME3 no matter how good the EC is. And I won't preorder any EA game anymore. I will wait for reviews from the sources I trust, look at the reaction of the community and decide if I should buy the game at release or when the game is discounted. I will follow the same routine for every game with EA logo on it.

Well, right now, I have no intention of playing any of the games, or buying any DLC. So unless the EC somehow changes that, then that's how it'll stay.

[KnifeForkAndSpoon]

DLC: There's no chance
Future Games: Unlikely

[Headcount]

I will be taking a wait and see approach (no pre-orders) even if the EC is great, unless EA gives BW more development time because 2 years is not cutting it. That is the source of most of the problems.

Given that they are not even trying to fix the bad ending, just cover it with BS, I'll never buy another Bioware/EA game. I definitely won't be buying any DLC for ME3. They have lost my respect and I won't support them anymore.

Now if they actually fix the broken ending I may consider buying more titles from them, but I would want to see how any other game ended first. But we all know they won't fix it. The EC DLC will be a small bandaid on a gaping wound. 

[crimzontearz]

if the EC is less than stellar and does not address the core issues that make the game un-replayable to me (mostly a shepard lives + reunion with the crew and not just a ****ing hint either) then I am pretty much done with Bioware....and EA. I'll just stick to companies not tied to this cancer we call EA and companies that make single platform games like oh I dunno...Bethesda, Epic Games, 343i

it is so goddamn sad....2.5 years to make Mass Effect 3 and Halo 4 is taking upwards of 4.5 with more manpower to boot.....AND ITS JUST A GODDAMN SHOOTER. Worse have you seen spartan ops? Story driven episodic co op content that can be tackled solo as well


uh....WTF bioware??

@squeegee with ME3 BW treated females like well garbage, they don't matter, they're only meant to service men, and yadda yadda yeah.

It wasn't even just straight female players, lesbians too look at Samantha and Allers, and it didn't stop there, look at the scene where Ashley and Shep get into it in the hospital if Shep cheated, it's messed up DudeShep gets up to leave and suddenly Ash is like "Shepard wait, it's just these meds are really messing with me, and there is some other stuff family."

But if FemShep dumped Kaidan or cheated it effectly makes her the bad person, the one at fault, it's like BW saying "Hey you got no balls you just are always wrong, and we own you"

When I saw that on youtube my jaw hit the floor and I was peeved, also look at Ash's now make over it ruined so much of her, and they didn't stop there Chakwas was covered in makeup, Dr. Michel too, and even going so far as having Tevos get all touchy with Shep, which p!ssed me off bad, I was like hell no, she's suddenly all shoulder hug touchy with Shep, it p!ssed me off.

And don't any other dudes try and justify that cr@p. Because it can't be justified it was put there was so m disrespectful towards woman and it was all very chauvinistic.
