I'll see how the forum react after release. After Omega I will not buy on day one when it's a Bioware product.

[DirtyPhoenix]

WHat is this TLC we're speaking of?

[RukiaKuchki]

I'm buying it. Everyone I know who has ME3 is planning on buying it. I will try out anything and everything ME-related because I love the ME universe and none of the detractors here will convince me otherwise.

[Thrazesul]

If it doesn't have anything with Thane, it'll have to extremly good and one of the best DLCs in existance before I buy it.

As it is now I'll probably youtube it.

[jstme]

If after release it will be clear that it is non-rushed fun DLC with acceptable content and of acceptable quality  - sure i will buy it.
More squad time and sortofhub place really appeal to me.

I already have my goodbye scenes with squadmates,

I already have an apartment from pinnacle station so why disregard that,

Already have a shooting range and a battle arena( pinnacle station)

A new enemy at the end of the trilogy, Come on the catalyst come from nowhere now this

Why else would i get this? Casino to make money you cant enjoy as the mission after blows the citadel dlc up....

Where was your squadmates during the game? Now all of a sudden they can come romance you and forget about what they were doing....im all fo that but charging money for romance dlc..mwuhahah they were laughing aroung there table when they knew people would buy that crap.

I'm in.

People have been whining on forums about not buying xpacks and DLC since Bioware released Tales of the Sword Coast for Baldurs Gate.

[Liamv2]

Yes i will since i enjoyed the past ones

[Battlebloodmage]

I skipped Omega since it seems like a waste of time, but I'll probably get this one for the final send-off with Kaidan.

[Asch Lavigne]

Very interested in Citadel. But I will wait to see what people say about how the story content is. Also interested in whether or not past squadmates are temp or not. Not that that determines a buying factor for me, just want to know.

[RGC_Ines]

I liked Leviathan but Omega was a crap ( fortunetly I youtubed it before I went to Xbox game market), plus BioWare isn't my " must have" Devs anymore, so first I will yt it ( don't care about spoilers) and I will see if there is something for me...

[obZen DF]

Of course I will buy it! Leviathan was fantastic. Omega was mehhh...but Citadel sounds really promising, and I love to rekindle with the characters.

[NeonFlux117]

I despise, lament and otherwise hate the endings of ME3. I also believe in IT- my OWN interpretation of my Shepard ending.

But I am stoked and boiling with excitement for Citadel DLC- I've played Mass Effect since I was 18, I'm 24 now and I can't imagine not wanting to play one last story and say goodbye to the series.

Plus it has Miri, Wrex and Zaeed. Nuff said.

Day 1 buy for me.

The point Kev is trying to make is of a longer picture in the future of video gaming. None of you are interested in his pov, or mine, because you think he is attacking your right to want, play, like and enjoy the Citadel DLC.

You are all wrong. He is trying to state, just like I have been, if you can refrain from buying this dlc, whether it is spectacular or a bitter dissapointment, to show Bioware that we will not just settle for just anything. We want something that will exceed in creativity all your previous games and dlc. And I know a lot of you have been saying "but this is what we all asked for" and this might be the wrong time to do this whole boycott deal. But i really think that this will send them a message for future titles and other companies to realize that "we will take a stand against this type of dlc".

We should not HAVE to pay for "character interaction" like this. If we give in so much, we will be digging a hole for gamers everywhere. And if you choose to buy it, feel free, nobody is stopping you.

You have a brain, its your money, and I truly hope for those of you who wanted this are happy and satisfied with it at the end. But Kev and I and a select few will try to take a stand for the future of gaming. You might think this is a wasted attempt but I believe its something.

If I have not clarified your point Kev' do let me know. The rest of you, I really can't explain it further.

I'm not paying for 'character interaction' .That already exists in ME3, and in my view to a greater extent than in either ME1 or 2. I am paying for more character interaction, and more story and more lore. Just like people would pay for more content of any description, whether in dlc form or as an expansion pack. I don't buy the idea that anything that could possibly be added to a game should therefore have been in the game at release. Should Throne of Bhaal have shipped with BG2? Was the core Nwn2 game in some way incomplete for not including Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir? In some cases of course, it is so (I dislike Day One dlc because much of that content is already on the disc). But here specifically? I think Bioware is responding to a very popular demand from many fans (more squad/romance content) since the days of ME2.

Also -  and yes, I'm assuming for a moment that The Citadel will be good (it may not be, obviously) - isn't it kind of self-defeating to refuse to buy something that is a) good quality and wanted and requested repeatedly by a sizeable portion of the fanbase? If enough people listen to you and don't buy this, then the only 'message' it sends is that this isn't the kind of content people want. When in fact it is exactly the kind of content many people want! 

I'm all for withholding your cash and refusing to buy a product because you think it looks rubbish/is widely considered terrible - because this sends a positive message that you won't accept a bad product. And boycotting a company because they engage in practices you dislike is your absolute right, and more power to you! But in my view,  enough people refusing to a buy a good product will at best send an extremely mixed message, and at worst actively prevent such things being made in the future, therefore actually decreasing the quality of output further. What it will NOT do, is force Bioware's hand in regards to the ending of ME3.

Same here, but replace Omega with the main ME3 game. The dlc sounds mildly interesting but I know better now than to buy into hype though I'm aware it's mostly fans hyping themselves and others here on the forums, not Bioware themselves.

If it doesn't have anything with Thane, it'll have to extremly good and one of the best DLCs in existance before I buy it. 

I think they stated it can be done at any time between the coup and the ending, in which case... no Thane I suppose. Except if they retcon his unavoidable death.

Who will buy these DLCs?

I haven't purchased a single piece of ME3 DLC so far (I didn't even grab any of the free DLC), and I'm not about to start now. My money is better spent elsewhere.

[AllThatJazz]

 As regards 'standing up for the future of gaming', I remember when I first started gaming twenty-odd years ago. There were huge barren stretches when there was absolutely nothing I remotely wanted to play! There was a fair amount of rubbish around even then (and from a much smaller pool of games), technology was moving so fast that my PC couldn't keep up, and computers weren't as easily upgradeable as they are now. I couldn't afford the array of consoles that kept coming on to the market, and, let's be honest here, games looked kind of ... ugly, even the pretty ones! And when I did play games, I was often forced to play either a male character or a hypersexed female character because everyone knew that women didn't play games, and therefore no developers bothered to cater to my tastes. 


Sure, questionable business practices still abound, as do rubbish/disappointing/buggy games - but right now, I have a backlog of games, there's plenty on the horizon to interest me (both AAA glossy titles and old-school depth such as P:E, Wasteland 2 , Shadowrun and Age of Decadence), devs have finally cottoned on that female gamers represent a viable market to target, there are diverse enough titles out there that cater to me to allow me to make discerning choices while still having plenty to entertain me and yes, I like that games look prettier too! From my perspective, while not wearing my nostalgia specs anyway, I've never had a better time as a gamer.

I'm getting it, but I'm still not buying that POS Omega..

Not unless this dlc has SOMETHING added to the ending to give Shepard more closure at the very least.

If not, then there's mehem. But stuff Aria and stuff her stupid $15 space station.

Same here. Omega is a no-go. I wouldn't have too much hope about something getting changed or added in the ending though. But Casino DLC could be a valid alternative to the RGB ending.

.I just want to enjoy the final installment of this trilogy with all the DLCs so the journey will feel more complete

Sounds like bargaining - google "stages of grief". Some of us have moved on and accepted that ME3 is a mess that won't get fixed.

But in my view,  enough people refusing to a buy a good product will at best send an extremely mixed message, and at worst actively prevent such things being made in the future, therefore actually decreasing the quality of output further

Right, so I should be able to ship a blank disc at full price, and still have the moral high ground when people subsequently don't want to buy more games (regardless of quality)? Sweet! 

I don't think you quite understand the idea of a deterrent - if a video game company lies about their product then there have to be consequences, or else everyone will start doing it.

Edit to add: Leviathan is a covert ending fix (without it, Shepard just takes the head reapers word for everything at the end), and I will not pay developers to fix their mistakes. I couldn't care less about Aria or her pet rock, and I will decide on Citadel after watching a complete Let's Play (sadly a necessity since Bioware has proven that they are not to be trusted)

I understand what a deterrent is very well. I dislike Day One dlc. I will not pay extra for it, I will not purchase it separately. That is a very specific message sent to register my disapproval of a specific issue, and hopefully deter its continuation. This does not seem like the same thing - to me. This seems like a generic message that can be interpreted in different ways - the most likely one being 'people don't like this sort of content therefore we won't make it anymore'. When, in fact I do like that sort of content and would like to see more of it!

Also, how does shipping a blank disc at full price equate to a good quality product? I've already stated I see no issue with people refusing to buy a bad (or non existant?) product ... That example is right down at the bottom of that slippery slope!

Okay then, if you prefer to let the "details remain lost in time", that's your decision.
