I played ME 1 and didn't really like it, so I've never bothered with the rest of the series. I'm sorry so many people were frustrated with the endings, though.

Well i didn't and from the internet washing a tsunami of bile across the game, i can honestly say i'm glad i didn't. I actually haven't played any of the Mass Effects, So no real stake for me. I just get to sit back and have a good laugh.

So if you didn't buy it are you planning to buy it or just skip it? If they change the ending would consider buying then?
What are you talking out? Ending aside, Mass Effect 3 is one of the best, well-made games I've ever played. It's more emotinally affecting than Schindler's List, it's as visually impressive as Crysis, it's got more choices than you can wave a minigun at. If you're not buying it just because of the ending, then you really need to wake up.

Please note that i didn't say anywhere that the game was bad. I just haven't had the time/money/interest to play any of the mass effect games. It's received great reviews from just about everywhere and i can see why people like it. It's just not for me. I'm just happy i didn't get sucked into the hype pre-order and get a (supposedly) very sub-standard ending to an otherwise great series.

This is fun stuff for me to watch. I'm just asking who didn't buy it, why, and if they're happy they didn't considering the crap that's happened since then.

i didnt, i dont know why but i just cant get into any kind of space/future and aliens stuff. everything is always plain boring white or boring grey. my friends who played Mass Effect 1 was showing me the game and noting how good the graphics were and all i could say is " the entire room is pure white, with no texture decorations or anything. i dont know, im more of a medieval type of person when it comes to time frames and games. everything natural and simple instead of clean and bleak.

If Bioware do the right thing and fix the story with some kind of additional content, and EA comes to their senses and releases it on Steam, only then will I be purchasing Mass Effect 3.

Which is a shame, because I loved ME2.

well considering that I have mass effect and mass effect 2 on Steam, and I will not support origin, and yes I am one of those, strange, individuals who actually sticks to their opinion and their standpoint, if I won't support something I just won't end of story, not until they make the service at least competitive in quality to steam, then I may reconsider.

Otherwise I have other games to play, so mass effect 3 can wait indefinately.

I never even got around to trying the series. The characters and environments look so bland and boring that there was never really any appeal to play it. I don't have a lot of time for games in the past few years, so I'm really picky about what I buy. Maybe I'll play it someday as a learning experience if I get a chance.

I've played the first two, but I'm skipping this one. Origin just seems like too big a hassle to put up with.

I didn't buy it. I found ME2 disappointing compared to the first so I was waiting to see what the buzz for 3 was. Since it's mixed, I'll just buy it later.

I loved the first, and despised the second.., With all this DLC nonsense I'll wait for the bundle release.

I played the first sixth of the original Mass Effect, and then I got bored.
I've always planed to go back and play the rest, but I've got a brand new copy of [INSERT GAME HERE], and its not gonna play itself.

I didn't buy it YET.

I'm actually psyched to play the game and finally see this series destroying ending of utter garbage. I have a hard time believing the ending could be so bad...but eventually I'll experience it first hand.

I didn't pick it up at launch because my gaming time was focused on SWTOR exclusively. With my subscription being canceled in Apr, I'll likely buy ME3 to fill the gap until Diablo 3's launch in May.

Not really an RPG fan. So no, I haven't bought any of the Mass Effect games.

All the drama really is quite funny for someone with no investment in (or even much understanding of) the franchise.

I know the feeling! It was only when I was stuck at home with flu last week that I finally finished my first play-through of Dragon Age: Origins (having originally bought it with a thought of "I should really try one of these RPG things and this one sounds like it has dragons").

I didn't buy it, because I don't want Origin. I'll propably get it eventually, because I don't despise it, unlike so many people on the web.

I didn't buy Mass Effect 3, because it requires Origins.

And since I do not support DRM-systems like that, I gave this game a miss too.

But reading about how the game ended, this might have been for the better.

I didn't.
And I'm not going to.
I played the first ME and didn't like it. I tried ME3 demo and couldn't finish it because it just bored the hell out of me.
I know what it feels like to be someone who didn't buy Skyrim. The internet was empty the day ME3 came out.
