Wait for all the DLC to come out?

Would it be smarter to wait? Sure.

Will I wait? Hell no. Been waiting a while for this game and buying it on launch. 

But to each their own, my dude.

nah...each dlc expansion presents an opportunity for a brand new play through, it's perfect

Here is my personal tactic:

Play the base game to conclusion -ONCE!
Then DO NOT play it again even after all DLC -story and otherwise are released.
After several years -once you have forgotten the game story and endings:
Only then go and get all the story DLC's that have been released and replay it.

NOTE: This does not work unless you wait years.
For me personally it is at least three years between.

For some things, I would for sure wait for the "Game of the Year" edition with all the DLC and discounted base game. But for Bioware, especially Mass Effect, I want to support them. I love Mass Effect and want the studio to get the most money. That being said, if I play MEA on day 1 and it doesn't meet expectations or is very mediocre, I will probably not buy DLC, or at least until they are greatly discounted. But if I love the game, I will buy DLC as soon as it's available, so that I can support the people making the game and DLC and show them that I want more.

Nah, can't wait. Too invested in the ME franchise and this point and looking forward to this game in particular. Plus, I'm a regular here and it would be weird to be posting my MET exploits while everyone else is posting about MEA.

I assume there will be a new thread in the MEA section for "What did you do today?" And because the game will be brand new I'll use spoiler tags that I don't use for games that are now 5-10 years old.

I'm not a fan of DLC...well i'am, i just hate downloading stuff. I'd rather have it all on the disk and at this point we have already established that GOTY edition is not gonna happen *looks at ME3*. That said when i purchase a game in general and once i beat it, i won't go back to that game for at least 6 months - year so it can feel fresh whenever i fire it up again. At that point all of the dlc should be out by then and there should be other games that have dropped by then to keep you busy.

At some point i'm going to purchase "The citadel" and "Leviathan" DLC for ME3.... ...i just need to bite the bullet and do it...since i know there is not going to be a GOTY edition.

Waiting is certainly the most economical way to buy. Of course you risk major spoilage waiting...particularly if you hang around any of these forums.

Traditionally I've bought full price at release as a way to support continued development of these types of games. Right now I'm back and forth on this. On the one hand some of Bio's decision making of late has been rather annoying, but on the flip side even with some of the aggravating design choices there aren't many AAA RPG's available...and it's still preferable to yet another rehash of COD or Halo...of which contains little or no SP story/adventure. I would say I'm leaning toward buying upon release but waiting a few days to ensure the game is playable on PC.

I would say if you don't mind isolating yourself from these forums and other MEA related info sites and of course waiting the year/year and a half for all DLC's to be released, then by all means wait. The question you have to ask yourself is waiting that length of time worth the 40-50$ you'll save yourself.

Precisely! I've already pre-ordered the game, and am eagerly waiting to explore Andromeda. Bioware is my favorite game developer, and I try to do my part to support them-
So they can keep making more games I enjoy!

That was the one feature that made me a little worried. See, I just be ME3 earlier on Insanity. The pause and aim feature really helped me to get out of harm's way, when I needed to.
Besides that, I am also curious about how the new cover system will feel. Since there is no snap to cover, anymore.

Sorry to hear about your disability. But here's hoping you'll feel right at home in Andromeda!

yeah I can play games generally on easy levels as long as I don't have to be super quick on the buttonslike you have to sometimes when a QTE comes along and seeing as the trilogy dosen't have them I'm OK in the trilogy's case it's just a case of being aware of what's going on around you and making the right decisions to get around it which isn't too hard.
