People hate CoD, it still sells.

OP probably started gaming a year ago.

I don't hate CoD so much as I hate every games desire to be like CoD

theres a small bit of transference

Most likely, ME4/Beyond will sell well. Not necessarily because of the AAA-status, or even because of positive word of mouth; Rather, it will sell because many of the people who yell "I won't buy more content!"/etc seem to always wind up dropping this opinion the moment they see new gameplay.

I think it's unfortunate, but many people have a hard time sticking to their guns when it comes to Boycotting/Not Buying/Etc, especially when a new game, new content, or new offer looks so appealing. Many people are caught by a natural hook.

Perhaps it'll be interesting to track if BioWare is capable of lying through its teeth more, and still having fanbase loyalty. In the end, everything is just speculation. However, if I recall correctly, ME3's DLC sold pretty well compared to all initial speculation that it "Wouldn't sell at all."

Stats from the Xbox live Marketplace when comparing it to all other DLC for Mass effect, put Leviathan close to the bottom.

Really now? I had heard otherwise, but this was some time ago, perhaps before the release of any official data. Do you perchance have a link I could read about it? I'd love to update my own information. 

Some dev had posted it had been their bestselling DLC. Odd. Or not.

Wasn't that DLC out as soon as the game was? I don't think it would count anyhow as many people purchased it before they had even played through ME3 and seen the ending anyhow.

Omega should tell a story.

No, it was From Ashes. Leviathan was out few months after releasing of ME3.

You're stupid and overreacting. Right now, I'm pretty sure all you want is attention, and you're getting it. But here's what I have to say: Get over yourself.

[Armass81]

If people are buying dlc, you can bet ME4 will sell too.

Now if it will be any good or not is another question, Theres always a chance they could take their own franchise and screw it up like Lucas did with SW prequels and Chris Roberts did with the Wing Commander movie.

Mass Effect 4 will sell. It's Mass Effect, the IP reached a critical mass of followers and people have started collecting it. I bet half the ME Trilogy buyers on PC and XBox already had all three games anyway.

[LandoCalrisian]

ME4 will sell like crazy.

The non-internet forum readers mostly loved and still loved ME3. The forum trolls that have helped prove that every second of ME3 was terrible have spent so much time and effort in their negativity that it's obvious they are so obsessed with the franchise that they'll never say no to a Mass Effect game. The DLC is selling like hotcakes, Multiplayer is still packed with quite a few players even though there's only a single playmode and plenty of other MP veterans and big name MMOs have been introduced over the past 9 months...

[Solas]

ME4, do want

[Sejborg]

OP needs to get more out. ME4 will sell.

A quick look at the ME3 and ME2 dlc on both the US and GB XBox live sites shows that Leviathan had more people rating it (8.2k raters in US, 2.7 I think in GB) than any other  ME dlc I saw, aside from From Ashes (which got 11k ratings in US). I checked out Overlord, Arrival, LaIr of the Shadowbroker and Stolen Memory as well as From Ashes, Cerberus Network and MP dlc. I didn't check Price of Revenge. Regardless, if other platforms follow the same pattern, then it seems like Leviathan sold fine ...

I was going to provide a link, but there doesn't seem much point. The info is easy to find, and I had to do separate searches for Kasumi, Overlord and Lair anyway

OT, I imagine ME4 will sell fine, if not as well as the original trilogy.  I'm never a guaranteed buyer of any game, and I really disliked the endings of ME3, but if they include characters on a par with Garrus, Wrex et al, I'll probably pick it up at some point ...

I'll pre-order the collector's edition and I'll be playing it over and over again. I'm very excited about ME4! I love this series! Only thing that might kill it for me is if they change it to a first person shooter. Please Bioware keep the game a 3rd person perspective. The over the shoulder look is what I prefer because it gives you a better sense of the environment and the surroundings.

[jstme]

Saying now how non-existing game will sell is pretty pointless. For example i hated the way they slaughtered the ME series with. And i am not going to preorder any EA/Bioware game ,at least in the near future.
But if it will be good game i will buy it after the release despite ME3 issue.

^ dis guy. He's smart. He waits.

[Solotalento]

It will prbly sell well enough to call it succes, but it will also be pirated as hell. Less people will preorder. If it is good enough, sales will be stronger after some weeks, but first week sales will be lower.

[clarkusdarkus]

Well im not a must buy customer of bioware anymore after the crap trend that is DA2/TOR/ME3.....i'll rent there games as shooting games don't take that long to blitz through. So yeah i won't be buying there game in some context.

On i side note though you have to hand it to bethesda with skyrim, fans and critics keep bombarding them with " you need to include Multiplayer " for it to be a success.............and yet look how many sales that games has and in a niche market bioware wont no part of anymore with the RPG genre. A single player RPG sold more copies than ME3 did so yeah way to go with the direction bioware.

I didn't like the ending but I'll get it.

if they keep the rpg elements of the game. if they diminish it into a halo with rpg features then I'll see

[tanisha__unknown]

It'll sell. A decent part of the fanbase is upset about the ending of ME3 and Shepard's fate, but by now the game also appeals to the shooter fans, not only to those interestet in characters, setup and story telling. I am careful on numbers, but keep in mind that a lot of BSNers are hardcore fans since the 1st game. For those who started with ME3, the original ending was probably disappointing, but acceptable and since EC even good.

So let's wait and see.

[MattFini]

The ONLY way I won't buy another MASS EFFECT, is if it hinges upon synthesis being the canon ending of 3.

I loved the whole franchise, loved the EC - the SP and MP DLC has been stellar so far and when ME4 comes out I'll buy the collectors addition. OP watchoo bored? Why would you make a thread like this on teh ME3 forum?

I'm going to giggle when I see the '4' icon under your avatar one day.

Do people really still do that whole corny thing on here "ME is dead to me now.....yet I still post here.....and still buy the DLC" gtfo. People got butthurt over the ending and will not be able to resist the next mass effect, I bet me4 will outsell 3 for sure

You won't EVERY see it under my avatar and I like how the lot of ya are so hostile to me  Like HAHAHHA oh BSN  stay classy.

I don't know if it won't sell. I know I won't buy it and if it does sell, it doesn't invalidate my opinion of the game. If it fails, it isn't like it is going to verify my existance either.

Personally, I am rooting for them to change the ending(s) to have a choice that actually matters. Even though they are dead set on not doing that. Pipe dream as it may be. Realistically, if/when they don't do that, I'll be rooting for a fail, just because the lesson needs to be learned. Maybe. I've seen a lot of failures never admitting to making mistakes to0.

But here's to hoping the knuckleheadedness over at BW ends and someon figures out the only editing that is needed involves deleting...

@Iggy...yep, I give that sig of yours a major thumbs up.
