User blog comment:Kaloneous/Mass Effect 3 Ending DLC Denied and PAX/@comment-4043223-20120321040742/@comment-1388547-20120321051655

Well, I got emotionally invested in Mass Effect, so I felt I had to buy ME3. In other words, the first two games in the series convinced me to buy the third, somewhat despite my better judgement. With another game, all the hype surrounding its release, combined with the day 1 for-pay DLC and the inclusion of multiplayer in a previously single-player franchise, would have caused me to stay back and wait for review, or maybe even wait a year or two and pick it up from the bargain bin. Fortunately, I'm not such a superfan of any other video game series, so I'm unlikely to end up in the same situation again any time soon...
