I think Bioware just proved something...

That no matter how good you game is, the internet will still hate it.
I mean FFS since when did optional content mean the difference between one of the greatest games ever made and a 2.2 on metacritic?
You guys did a good job coming up with excuses for TOR and Ill give you DA2, but [Mod Edit] ME3 is right up there with Skyrim and Half-Life 2.

I agree. I still haven't played it but I can smell trolls from a mile away.
It has become the latest trend to hate on Bioware. Just like everybody hates on Blizzard. They just don't know what the fuck they are talking about. In the other thread the guy was bitching about graphics. Of course, graphics is all that matters in an RPG?!

Everything popular sucks, that's why:

7 and 6 are most relevent, here.
Yeah it's just absurd. It's just bs from bitter people which is sad.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
I have no mercy for mental midgets who get caught up in propaganda (be it positive or negative) storms.
Do some research, formulate your own opinion and selectively scope out what you will from that of others.
For the love of god, just stop whining.
-edit-
The ME3 situation is backlash against an undeniably unscrupulous method of business. People are free to agree or disagree.
The only thing that really troubles me, is that the game is out for like half a day and people already reporting they finished it?? I mean.... really??! How is that possible?? This would mean that ME3 has like only 10% of the content and story length as what ME2 has, as I spend nearly two weeks on ME2 (only doing obligatory side missions) to finish the main story.
so that day one DLC don't bother you at all? not even a little?
and only think bioware proves me is when a bigger company buy a good small one, they really mess things up.
why do you care what user reviews on metacritic say? that score has never meant anything.
To be honest you can complete ME2 really fast if you just skip all the dialogue and skip all the side quests and you rush just to finish the main storyline. There is always people who finish games in ridiculously short periods of time. I remember the first two games were faceroll if you chose easy and you can literally run past the enemies. I doubt ME3 is any shorter than ME2. It certainly can't be shorter than ME1.

Not any more then when GW1 was selling Mission packs.
The idea that a game is (quality wise) worse because of optional content is idiotic.
It took me 18 hours to play though (started at 7am monday [used a vpn program to switch up my ip]) and I barely did any side quests.
My biggest game is with the ending - totally contrived and overly depressing. The rest of the game is excellent however.
Always mixed feelings especially when it's from a well-established company and a well-established game series. People have certain expectations that they expect are met. They want the game to be everything they love about the first one wthout the publisher selling out on things in the process of making the sequel. They want to retain that feeling that the company is still the little guy pushing out quality products and not the big huge corporation trying to milk every little dime out of devoted fans, taking advantage of their fandom. People see things like day-1 DLC, Multiplayer-required, noobifying of a game, etc.. to them being cheated out of what they waited so patiently for.
boycott EA
Im enjoying the game but I can notice the noticeable downplay of the conversation choices
Now I can just sit back and watch shepard talk his own stuff, calling for my opinion occasionally
"It has potential"
-Second most used phrase on existence
"It sucks"
-Most used phrase on existence
Concidering ME3 already sold over a million copies, and the fact that EA Controls the FIFA, MADDEN and NHL games. I don't think a boycott would work at all.
boycott the whole gaming industry since there will be some kind of fault with everyone

That no matter how bad you game is, the internet will still love it.
Huh, funny how that works. I guess that's why it's called discussion and opinion.

My only complaint is that the skins look overdone. Like they have too much of everything on them...that and the fact characters faces look like made from sacks of potatoes.
But then again, thats why I preferred Oblivions graphics to skyrims...Sometimes less is more.
Well issue with the DLC right away is its blatant milking off peoples money for content ready for launch taken out of the game for the sake of making more money. Its not a sign that people think its a bad game its just greed at its finest and a huge reason why people expression initial hate for the game.
If a game I obvilously loved and wanted to come out so badly launched and it had dlc I had to pay for right away that had been done before completion and taken out in order to be sold, as much as it pains me... I'd likely not buy it. As an avid gamers, companies like EA just are making games into a source of greed and sucking them down a drain for profits. Yes I know, comapnies need to make profit but when they try nickle and diming someone to fund primarily people who DO NOT make the actual game, I just want them to perish in a fiery pit.
As for the game, I'm completely bias and I just dislike Mass Effect. Thats really all I can say about it. My opinion would be quiet harsh even if it wasn't deserving of it.
Yeah if you would have read the reviews it was about day 1 DLC and not the quality of the game, I have no doubts it's an awesome game but I also think they lost a few customers with this tactic.
I'm definitely gonna play the game, just waiting for a friend to finish it first so I can buy it second hand from him.
But...
You don't have to buy the DLC...
I could understand the hate if you did, but you don't.
Yea thats why they dont need to worry about pirates.
Seems like getting high on top searches allready.
Let's internet
people who love bioware
people who are angry at bioware and why
it's pretty simple
Words cannot describe how sheepish you look right now.
I mean I really can't.
You're angry at EA because they added a day 1 DLC, there is nothing more too it. Mass Effect 3 will be one of the greatest games of the year.
Think about it for five seconds.
And here I thought the gaming world was mature.
