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.

I enjoyed the first game enough, but got bored half-way through the second one. Still finished it, but I think there is something about the way Bioware does its level design that just fundamentally disagrees with me. I felt it in the Star Wars RPS, I felt it in Mass Effect. As a result of those lack-lustre experiences [EDIT: and, of course, Origin], I had little interest in ME3, though it is interesting to see how they decided to wrap up all those decisions we agonised over in the previous games (read: apparently not very well)

From what I've read the ending is a lot like the ending to the movie Contact. You do all that build up and in the end you're stuck talking to your Dad.

I did not buy ME3 and probably won't. I do like biowares RPGs but from what I hear each Mass Effect after one started to take away rpg elements for that of a more shooter type game and really we got a thousand of those. Also I had no problems with grenades in the first one :p. Bioware has started going down hill though most of its recent installments story wise are pretty bland. Are they done? Have they reached their peak like Rare did with the N64? Idk probably.

A) I have absolutely no money

B) I want to wait until I get every person to survive the ME 2 ending. (this one is super annoying because I have the loyalty of everyone but I just can't seem to get it so everyone survives.)

I was going to play the first one when the second came out, but the second just looked bad, like they gotten rid of RPG elements for more FPS ones. I thought I may get around to playing them anyways since my dad owns them all, but in trying to avoid all ME3 spoilers I never herd anyone talk about the changes between 2 and 3. Seeing how Bioware said they wanted to make it even more simple and the difference between 1 and 2 it made me think that 3 will be even worse.

Of course since I never played it feel free to tell me how wrong I am and if that's true I may put it higher on my backlog.

I've been waiting for the Mass Effects to go on sale on Steam (still don't own any of them) until I buy them. Then I'll probably buy Mass Effect 3 for the XBox or PS3 since I don't want to use Origin.

I haven't purchased it. I just rented it last night. Since there are as many threads on this game as there were with Skyrim, I figured I had better play it through before someone ruins the story's end for me.

I keep waiting for BioWare to release an ME2 complete, but they don't seem to want to do it. As the series (or this particular story arc) has come to a close, I imagine they'll release a collection of all three with their dlc. While I will wait for that to go on sale, I would pick it up.
