I'll employ the same approach as I did with ME1....wait a few weeks.....read the reviews and ultimately decide if ME4 is worth my interest.

[ofarrell]

Mass Effect is a big universe and I really enjoy the lore (especially Drell and Krogans) so I will be buying the next game.

Unless Disney buys Bioware and closes the company.

[spacehamsterZH]

We'll see. I seem to be alone with this, but I thought the Citadel DLC was pretty awful, and if it's a sign of things to come... ugh. Honestly, though, unless it's an MMO, I probably won't be able to resist. As much as I'm disappointed by ME3's ending, I'm still way too obsessed with this universe to just give up on it. Even if it does look like the next game's going to be a straight-up shooter written by a committee of fanfic writers from deviantART.

It seems to me that if you're not willing to buy a BioWare game sight-unseen, then you should probably re-evaluate why you're here.

because being a fan of ME doesn't mean we're mindless drones that will buy anything pushed in our faces..y'know..we have minds..and actually USE them.

BioWare has fallen...they used to be a company you could just about rely on to give you a good game.  then came DA2..copy/paste..obvious cash-grab by EA...then came SWTOR..shortcuts taken..far too linear...buggy....all the mistakes other MMO's have made that made them not sell well or lose subs fast....ME2 was still a good game but the direction changed..and other than better combat and graphics..not in a good way....ME3 improved on it but I won't say more than that.

BioWare's attitude has also changed...they now are all holier-than-thou and look down upon their own fans...the whole "artistic integrity" thing is hogwash....but if you're a true BIoWare fan you know David Gaider..and he's the poster child for how bad BioWare has gotten...he's so condensending to anyone who's opinion differs from his or to anyone that points out logical and obvious problems with a story/etc it's disgusting.

So yah..maybe we're still here because we like the ME universe...maybe we're still here because we still have hope for EA...or maybe some are here just kill time...regardless at least we have minds of our own...unlike those that say if we don't bow down and prey to the BIoWare gods and shove them our wallets on release days we don't belong here.

No. I play games to have fun, I feel I am not just investing 60 bucks+ I am also investing hours of my life, more importntly hours of my freetime into the game, I expect to walk away happy, flushed with victory, full of the rose tinted glow of the illusion that I can overcome anything, do anything, become, anything I want at the end of the day. In Zelda I restored the land of Hyrule and saved the princess in Mario brothers I defeated bowser and restored the Mushroom kingdom, In DAO I saved everyone and it was awesome In ME1 and ME2 I got the best video game rush of gratification that I played them over and over and over again because they were so much fun.

In Skyrim I get to be the dragonborn, the listener, the Guild leader, A Nocturnal, the Harbinger and even the stupid Archmagus if I want to be. Its fun.

The end of ME3.. how can I put this... ME3 gave me a full glass of chocalate milk fun, then at the very end when I expected the big payoff Bioware writers stuck their artistic fingers down my throat and made me throw it all back up and some of it came out of my nose.

They then did it again and again each time I played it.

Now I love chocolate milk but I HATE throwing up.

A video game should not have this effect on a person.

So no I do not intend on buying ME4 unless I can get it used and at less than half price and then only if I can be sure through Youtube videos and user reviews that ME4 does not repeat the mistakes of ME3. Now when ME4 goes on sale for 10 bucks on Origin I might pick it up again. Afterall I am not supposed to eat Tuna it gives me hives but I love eating it and sometimes I eat it anyway because its so good.

[Tron Mega]

no buy here.

ME1 is the only bioware game worth owning.

im not here for bioware.

[chemiclord]

I most likely will not.

I loathe Electronic Arts and their business practices. I only put up with it to finish this trilogy, after this, I am back to my boycott of all associated EA products.

[sonicphoto]

It all depends on what will it be about and how that content is handled. Chances are that yes, if Bioware manages to create more great stuff for this universe in a future without reapers, instead a new kind of threat. The Yahg attack!

[Archonsg]

Definitely not pre-ordering.
Nor day one purchase.

Then it'll depend on *when* its being released.
Year 2014, I have at least two other massive (as in the good old days of months worth of gameplay) RPGs that I have backed and will have available, namely Obsidian's Project Eternity and Inxile's Torment : Tides of Numenera, I'll also have Chris Robert's Star Citizen to look forward to.
Closer to the present, 2013, we have Larian's Divinity : Original Sin and Inxile's Wasteland 2.

All the above titles I know are being developed with the "Old school RPG player", you know, the ones who played and loved titles such as the Baldur's Gate series , Icewind Dale series, Neverwinter Nights series, Planescape :Torment, Divinity series ... The "A" list of RPG games.

ME4 or ME:TNG needs to be something awesome for me to *want* to buy it.
Awesome as defined by my peers. Not some sellout from "major" Gaming Review website whose "reviews" are tempered and gagged by the threat of advertising dollar loss or product embargo.

Probably. Unless the previews look really bad.

[N7 Drone]

Yes I will buy the next Mass Effect games when or if it comes. I will countied to support the Mass Effect universe.

[phat0817]

No I don't think so I felt I got burnt from Da2, Mass Effect 3 Ive just lost faith in Bioware but I'll check out the reviews...but they need to be standing ovations to bring me back to play again

[daigakuinsei]

It depends on the FAN reviews, but I will not buy it on day one. It's the whole fool me twice, shame on me thing.

[tonofluck21]

Yes I will get the next Mass Effect possibly even on the first day just because I like Bioware's games.

I never preorder any games however (not just Bioware, Everyone) because it seems pointless just to get:

A) Weapons and Armor that I will replace the minute I get something better.
Costumes or pets that serve no real purpose other than aesthetic value.
C) DLC that I will pay for later anyway.
D) Map packs that I never.

Pirating just seems dumb and I suppose I can wait for bargain bin but it just seems like it will take forever at least where I live. Not gonna let a couple of mistakes ruin what has generally been a great series I've enjoyed. Both DA and ME.

[GreyLycanTrope]

Nope, not after what they pulled with the last one.

Yeah the purpose of that preorder DLC isn't to actually do anything useful, it's just to give you that constant and lingering feeling that you have an "incomplete" game because don't have everything that it was possible to get, and may not get a chance to in the future, and goad you into preordering the game the next time around.  Such a cheap and transparent tactic, but let's be honest here - it works.

[babachewie]

All the people saying no are liars. Any person who is still on this site after the Last DLC has been released and still talking about this game are on the hook no matter what side they're on. They can cry and whine all they want, but in the end they're gonna buy it.

Sort of new to the forum but I honestly hoped to find the post in whch to pitch ideas for Mass effect 4 but this one isn't a bad place to start. Although it is early to pose the question, the developers normallycheck frums for fan base ideas to incorporate in the hopes to apeal to the masses in subjects just like this. I have playe just abou every biowaregame I could get my hands on and mass effect was one of the first ajor franchises that gaveme a reason to sit down and naturally enjoy a game where my consquences truely effected my game and the way I felt hen playing it. The old Kotor (aka. Kights of the old republic) wereso of the first to really give me that odd and satisfying story telling, not because of the main character's growth but rather the character growth created between members of your party. At times your chatsbetween characters often helpeddarken their resolve and their perception of you not just by your actions but also by the small tie-in when you could control other characters for short periods i the story.Mass effect 1 had a little of his involving Gauras and Wrex, butnever really let you control any othr characters till mass effect 2 with Joker. Ultimately if we had a little more interaction and control over the changing and developement in the characters whom with fight aside, the game dynamic for the next one would be a game changer f say a team member suddnly switced his alliance from you due to a choice you made or rather not agreeing with your phiosphy of current events, and suddenly becomes your enemy. And notjust because of key plotpoints, but because he has become fed up with you and imagine having to continue your quest without their skill even if that skill isrequired for certain side missions or hiddien parts of the game. Another Thing I really enjoyed was te exploration of Mass effect 1. It gave me areasongto go back ad play itover and over again because there was so much that could be missed and so many side missions that could be done. Sure the Mako was a clunky driving mechanic but exploring the worlds ave me more expansion to the game then I could get out of an DLC. If there is one main thing I ask out of Mass Effect 4 is please bring back that kind of expansive world and god please no more probes, I don't care if you leave the gas thing for relism just ditch the mining its incredibly boring. Another mjor change is maybe keeping the current combat system as is but make it geared a little more towards how it plays in Mass Effect 3's multiplayer... and what I mean by tat brings me to my number one request for mass effect 4... MAKE IT A SEQUEL. Seriously there really i very little need to back track into the past when you set the building blocks for the future. All the games cooperate and spreada gorgeous story and slew of events by transfering all decision making in mass effect 1,2 and 3. And with said sequel and the absence of our main shepard, allow the players to be able to choose the race in which the next galaxies champion an unfold there story,.. And this can be possible as it was attempted and successfu in games lie Dragon Age Origins, so please allow yourselves time and a chance to really givea story of choice the ultimate role in choice. The last decisons made in Mass effect three can unfold what transpires to the world of say the Krogan, If the geno****e is cured; krogan character is on the brink of a civil war between clans and the rival clan seeks to stay in peace with an over populated planet while the other clan demand the race seeks out new planets to conquer to avoid their resources diminishing giving you an immediate chage of pace for the political and moral choices aboud from decision 1 in Mass effect 4... or if the genophage was not cured; Krogan race has become a dyng breed of mercenaries, as said krogan the world has become you battlezone, no mater the planet your on like decision 2... Or ven if everyo was synthesized, krogans no longer fear obliteraton as they have adapted to comunicating as one unit. But you seem to feel odd about always being connected to everyone, and feel it s unnatural and manage to break free from your programming, labeling you as rouge and dangerous you seek out others who share your cause to release and free your race and other races from the shackles of synthetics, reversing what once savedthe galaxy in your own moral holy war. Ulitmately if I was giving a game with these kids of qualities I would buy it and give it more replay value then any other game on my shelf. The replay value couldn't be higher with the grasp a game like that, especially if it could take it from it's predeccesors. The DLC Overlord was probably my first hope that the previous ME2 and ME3 would have incorperated this but alas it wasn't so. And I honestly hope that they look t make more DLC that was as amazing as Overlord as it was not only a amazing side story but a greatlypaced one at that. As much as Shadow broker gave me Lara, I still think Overlord over shadowed it but amazing storytelling and exploration. Lastly if MassEffect 4 is to be a true successor, please DO NOT GIVE IT MULTPLAYER. Honestly I get it if EA believes it is a money makig cash cow and hell, it may be, but make it a DLC or a stand alone. To be honest I loved Mass Effect 3... The story was amazingly well pacedand it had some awesome and amazing fights against the reapers... but I can't elp but feel that the end result was rushed and really I believe that multiplayer played the biggest part to that. The game was geat till the end... where the storytook such a drstic turn that it felt soforced that it honestly felt, well fake and to me the biggest let down to one of the greatst games I had ever played. YesI know the extended cut was made to aleviate the mases but evenwith it, I felt very little closer to this master peice that felt like it could have been far more epic. A final fight against soverign became a choice of afor in the road that ultimately ended the series, but even if shepard a to die, I would much rather see him firing his cannon dow thethroat of soverign in a blaze of glory ad with te arefforts being hih enough, maybe the races succeded, but at a cost of great loss, laying way to a future of rebuiding and post apocolyptic galaxies have arisen from the carnage. Instead we only got a radio tansmission, no change no matter how hard we got our war efforts. I undestan it isn't the developer's fault and EA may have pushed multiplayer more to help the sales which cut back on the production o the ending, could be possible and absolutely forgivable... but for a sequel as big as this to a trilogy as massive as this, woud it not be wiser to focus on the core gaming experience first and make ME 4 a single player first, that after the success of te first two weeks, start production on multilayer DLC, then micro transactions and the main DLC. If you lyer up your marketing you wil see not only your increase in sales but the fandom and then that very fandom as it grows so does the money rolling in because you took the time to deliver what core gamers wanted and allowed multiplayer gamers to get a feel for the game and dive into multiplayer with the hope of new content which micro transactions ca follow, and deliver DLC to expand your core game afterwards so that both fandoms can be happier and more willing to lay down more money, instead of bombarding the with day one dlc and mulitplayer that is somehow relevant to he war efforts, but the war effforts do little to change theout come of the story, ultimately upsetting the core fandom and leading them astray while multiplayer fandom focus on just mulitplayer and doesn't bothe rwith core based dlc. Again this is just a fellow core player speaking but wold it not be better to give your gamers that choice, especially when it is a game about coice? Ultimately I see no reason that it would hurt to allow the core game to remain single player and then just add multiplayer to the mix after, everyone wouldstill get it, and everyone woud still buy the dlc for it, and core gamers may also feel up to going multiplayer after feeling a success in their core experience, they may look to multiplayer to kill more time and thus buy the dlc for it. All I ask is don't make it the focus of ME4, take your time with till the polish relect show amazing your game is compared to all the other games out there. I honestly don'tmind the wait because he game itself will be worth every penny I give it. These are just my ideas and there are many of them out there for Mass Effect 4, I could name so many great ways to change the focus and the story, maybe even the way it can branch out to possble sequels. All I ask is for bioware is to look and see that fans want their games and our ideas are theirs to use, We just want a game that reflects them and the quality the bioware has been known to cretae far before the mass effect franchise.  Hopefully a developer sees ths and who knows, maybe incoporates it, because if an game industry hope to thrive, it will be the fans that carry them to the race, but it's their devotion to them that finishes it.

[Hey]

I mean, with knowing absolutely nothing about it... Yes - so far so good. I've personally never played one of their games where I've been outraged at the price/enjoyment ratios. So it would have to look massively, massively stupid for me not to buy it.

[Battlebloodmage]

I'd buy it if I like the preview enough. I don't think the ending is that bad, especially with the extended cut. I like the universe, and I played DA way before ME series, and I'm okay with parting with the Warden and now Hawke. It's just something I'm used to already, so it wouldn't be a big deal for me to start with a new character.
