Nope. I am not going to buy it. I will either pirate it or buy it second hand. It's clear Bioware doesn't give a rat's ass about its fans anymore. Why should I support them any longer?
You're going to pirate it? That's pretty lousy. If you're going to take the time to do that, you obviously feel the game has some merit, in which case you owe the devs something.
im gonna buy it. but i think its gonna be awful. that is why they are closing down the forums

Im preordering. So far i like what i see.
Pre-order and I'm seriously taking a few days off work to play it as soon as I get my hands on it... may twitch will def record this time around... only decision is whether I do first play through on PS4 or PC... prob PS4 for big screen 
So, like horse armor?
Yes, very horse armor.
(Although I did buy a stupid but beautiful Midnight Steed in ESO with crowns 
fully leveled up! But I don't play ESO anymore)
I'm going to play this one safe and wait probably... I'm sick of all these games turning into $60 coffee mug coasters.

We have next-to-no info on ME:A as a whole, no proper gameplay footage has been release. So I'll wait till we have more details and gameplay before I even consider buying/pre-ordering ME:A.
Ditto.I was suspicious of MEA beforehand.
Now I wonder why I should have anything to do with a company that holds its players is such contempt at all.
I can actually get an attachment or two for a Cat. D weapon with that money. Or over fifteen thousand rounds of ammunition. Or some pouches. I need 30rnd 5.45x39 shaped pouches. Actually, the Collector's Edition that I planned to purchase originally is almost two grand. I can have a used Cat. D sidearm for that, or add a little more money and have a new one.
Now that I used this line of thought, I have to consider the pre-announcement and post-announcement phase. Before the announcement, I had a clear math, and I knew exactly how much money I need to get the equipment I need, and the game. Right now, though... I didn't account for extra mag pouches in the original calculation anyway.
I was never going to buy ME: A but now that the forum closure has happened it has bothered me so much that I'm going to now buy it!
Well, kidding. I am still not getting it. lol!
I'm absolutely amazed how many people still preorder games... why? And it's not like people on this forum are "casual" gamers. How many AC Unity's do people need to wise up to the fact that preordering is a terrible idea. Not only are you buying what is basically a promise, but you're encouraging the release of buggy, broken games and abandonware.
Seriously, I don't care how massive of a fan you are, stop preordering video-games. You can always get it later... it's not like games are gonna run out of stock.
As a principle. I don't encourage pre-orders for all the good logical reasons often discussed.
But as a highly invested gaming fanboy, logic goes out of the window and I want it immediately at launch (whoo hoo).
Not proud of it, but I'll live with that 
Oh and the devs who made the game have nothing to do with a marketing generated forum decision.
Probably do what I did for Dragon Age: Inquisition. Hold off for a couple weeks until there's a sale, then grab the deluxe edition. Got DA:I for Xbox One for $45 shortly after it released.
Let's see
I backed Torment: Tides of Numenera
DIvinity: Original Sin 2
Battletech
Also looking forward to
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Tyranny
Vampyr
Telltale's Batman (already played the first chapter)
I no longer really need Bioware to fill my preferred niche anymore.
I'm going to wait. If Dragon Age: Inquisition is any indication, I'll save a lot of money by waiting a few months for the Game of the Year edition.
Pre-Ordering is a bit silly in today's world. Essentially you are giving money to a vendor for a product that you know nothing about. The last game I pre-ordered was Legacy of the Void and I was overly hesitant to do so but I had a great relationship with the vendor (Blizzard, albeit a bit marred by Diablo 3) and I was very happy with the product overall as it was just a fantastic sendoff to the Starcraft story.
Best bet, wait about 2-4 weeks post release to see how everything bounces off each other and pay attention to reviews that focus on the game mechanics and replay ability. At least that is my strategy. I am not really that hyped for ME:A, but then again I don't have much free time for games in general anymore.
Because I am not a moron I'll wait until the media embargo is lifted before i make a decision to buy the game, or any game for that matter. If the media embargo drops soon enough I can even pre-order it after having all the reinvent information to make an INFORMED derision assuming what is see convinces me to buy the game.
WHY the FRAK would anyone buy a game sight unseen? Why is this even a thread? We have no information to actually base any choice on so any choice is based on speculation which is pointless. I have no reason to expect the game to be crap but i don't buy any game sight unseen. I therefore rarely run into issues with buying a crap game. This isn't about deception either many a time I have seen a game that was well received by the public that just wasn't MY cup of tea so i skipped it. I have zero problem with just not playing a game I was hyped about and people love but after watch and reading reviews allowed me to see this wasn't the game for me.
