I did not.
Learning in late December that it was an Origin only release was a real disappointment. However after learning about the DLC and more recently the ending, the disappointment has turned to smug satisfaction.
I may get it, if comes up in a Steam sale.

I didn't get it because I played ME2 for a bit, then stopped because it wasn't very good. At all.
I grew a small amount of hate for BioWare from playing ME2 for those few hours and have been enjoying the hate very much.

Solid game, worth every penny, a multiplayer system I can get behind (for once) . An engaging story of impending doom, sacrifice and how far hope can carry you, That death doesn't mean the end.
Then that fucking ending.

yep same here and I wont be getting the finished product edition until its pretty cheap ME2 was quite fun but honestly I can take or leave the series now its vastly overrated (like all popular game series) and I have other games I would rather play.If one of my friends get the game I may even just borrow it from them (if I have time) so EA dont get a single penny.T_ConX said:
Youre in for a treat with Xenoblade Chronicles (probably) it took me 130 hours on the first playthrough to do it all and I enjoyed every minute (well except the five hours of grinding that was just passable) but it is huge and dosent feel drawn out at all.
didnt buy , havent been a huge ME series fan , and it was a massively overpriced release+ origin so meh , if they do a complete version for a tenner on steam without origin ill give it a go maybe... and i dont even know what the ending is thats causing all the fuss 
I didn't because I haven't played the first two. They have been on my 'to-play' list for a long time, but I don't have nearly as much gaming time nowadays anyway and I still have a backlog of games I own but have never played to get through, then AC Revelations and FF XIII-2 are my next planned purchases, so Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 will all be on the back burner for a good while
Played Mass Effect 1 and it was a pretty cool game, but after that I went on my "voting with my wallet against EA in general" deal and so I do not have Mass Effect 3. Honestly with all the crazy arguing with the ending I am not a bit torn up about not having it.
I have been delaying the inevitable by putting off my involvement in the Mass Effect franchise for as long as possible. I neglected to hop the bandwagon years past when the first game was released, and kind of went my own way from there. Being a devoted Bioware fan, however, and given that I track rather closely their every effort, it scares and bewilders me the turn they have taken; so my propensity towards Mass Effect has somewhat diminished to the point where I still want to play the games because I hear nothing about how excellent they are (sometimes from unreliable sources but there have been many credible ones also), but I don't want to marry myself to the series because of what will undoubtedly lead to ultimate disappointment. It's kind of like my hesitation to watch Firefly.
EDIT: Also I am just that goddamn poor you guys, serious.

You've said everything I was thinking of saying in your first paragraph. Keelah Se'lai, brother :OCaramel Frappe said:
Also, I thought I had seen everything until I saw a drunk Tali. That was hilarious.
It might be a while until I feel like replaying ME3. As great as a game that it is, I'm getting discouraged from replaying it due to the ending.
Captcha: Silence is golden.
Captcha is telling me to shut up about ME3 already :I
I didnt. However it has nothing to do with the ending, and everything to do with the price tag simply not being worth it yet. I WILL eventually buy it but not until its pricetag is more appropriate to my level of commitment to the franchise which would be in the 10-20$ range.
However before that happens I will likely rent it long term for a base playthru to get the canon of the series. Then likely buy once all the DLC has been released. Typically the same thing I do with about 80% of games I buy.

i haven't bought it purely on lack of funds. that being said when i finally do have the money chances are that a new shiny game would have been released and i will probably buy that. ME3 is defiantly on my to play list but im fickle as hell when it comes to games and i will more than likely simply forget about it. pretty much exactly what happened with Archam City.
I've never bought any Mass Effect game because they just don't seem all that interesting. I've tried them out a bit and I really don't get most of the hype. Now don't get me wrong, they're okay games. However, there are much better games around and I won't have time for Mass Effect until I play the more fascinating games.
I never bought a single Mass Effect game since (to me) it looks like generic sci-fi action with a pretentious storyline.
I haven't buy it because I didn't play the first two Mass Effects and because I just never got around to playing them. The outcry over the ending doesn't make sense to me and such I don't take part in any Mass Effect Bioware conversations except this one.
I only ever played Mass Effect 1 & 2 for less than an hour because they bored me so quickly.
I rented Mass Effect 3 and experienced the same thing.
Seems like a horrible game series and apparently the ending is bad?
Does renting count as buying in this? In the middle I guess.

Garrus, oh God. They created him perfectly. Garrus is such a bro. Whether romanced or as a friend, he is downright amazing.Caramel Frappe said:
Interestingly enough, you pointed out one of my main issues. Sure, the ending is one big issue really, but I mean the crew members. I took Liara and Garrus and had I known better, I would have left them behind. Yet once everything is said and done with, I see Liara coming out of the Normandy. Really? Just...how? Don't get me wrong, that's great. I love seeing Liara alive, but what the hell did I just miss?
Yeah, I didn't mind Shepard dying. In fact, that's what I expected going in, but it's just...come on! Then the whole Stargazer scene felt like an insult to injury.
There were 16 endings? Really? I thought it was just 3 of the same exact ones with different colored explosions. :/
People, Mass Effect isn't a terrible series. It's actually a great one and shouldn't be avoided due to the ending. Just beware when you get there though.
