Agreed.
When asked about the delay, EA boss John Riccitiello said, "Essentially, step by step, [BioWare is] adjusting some of the gameplay mechanics and some of the features that you'll see at E3 that can put this into a genre equivalent of shooter-meets-RPG, and essentially address a far larger market opportunity than Mass Effect 1 did and Mass Effect 2 began to approach."
This is quoted from Justin McElroy article on Joystiq.
What do you mean you AGREE!
They basically just said that they are dumbing down the game even furthur just so EA can squeeze out even more money.
I wish they would have waited tillt he end of the trilogy before EA ruined Mass Effect as a franchise.
Mass 1 ....Ashley as squad mate entire game= Best damn game I've ever played
Mass 2....No ashley as squad mate= it was ok
Mass 3....NO decisions that mean anything anymore and generic 3rd person shooter with horrible dead space like multiplayer probably and ashley still remain to be seen on what she ACTUALLY does= Good job EA.
um what? Mass effect 2 was Okay? Mass effect 2 was an incredible game despite Ashley not being in it for more than 1 cutscene. but let's not turn this into a which game was superior arguement despite what Ijst wrote as the response to one.
This isnt a which games is superior since both games did damn well.
The only reason Mass 2 gets so much praise is because Bio dumbed down the entire game just so EA could try to woo the COD kids.
When did RPG's have to try to bring in FPS players?
Mass 1 is an RPG with shooting
Mass 2 is a 3rd person shooter with talking cutscenes .
Mass 3 as they say is going to be dumbed down even more and its not RPG first Shooter second its the opposite.
Thats like COD trying to bring in Mass Effect 1 players by throwing in some garbage RPG element....it makes no sense but to ruin an IP and show that all you care about now is money and not the legacy of your game.
Also I just put in Ashley because we are all die hard Ash fans...not that it had any merit to the argument..
As more and more time goes by it seems Bio has lost the idea of what they were trying to do with Mass Effect and are now in it just to make a profit.
Mass 1 ....the beginning of a Legacy
Mass 2....rushed for what? Oh thats right EA
Mass 3.... "Well we are trying ot bring in more people to play the game and alienate the ORIGINAL fanbase.."
Might not even preorder anymore.
