everyones been talking about rpg this and rpg that and fps this and fps that when they dont see the real target audience of EA ==

life/love simulators.

this is no surprise. ea's MOST succesful game are the Sims 1, the Sims 2 and the Sims 3. why not do the same for mass effect 1, 2 and 3??

>>The Sims 3, the latest in Electronic Arts' blockbuster life simulation franchise, has exceeded 1.4 million PC and Mac sales in its first week on shelves, the publisher said today. According to EA, that figure represents the strongest PC game launch the company has ever had.<<

ea sells 20 million with the sims, so no wonder they buy bioware when all games have love simulation hand-in-hand with character storylines so they can target that audience. Websites reviews do NOT MATTER when there is love interests in game, even if GAMEPLAY and BALANCE and STORY MAKING SENSE are placed on the backburner because of it

EVIDENCE----

>>sales went UP after foxnews reported about the nonexistent full--nudity in me1
http://social.biowar...egory/128/index
>>character threads are the LARGEST threads on the forum

elf/alien love interests matter most for sales, THEN same-sex love interests, THEN potential nudity. the perfect game for BW/EA profit is to include the first 2 or all 3 in one game, like ME1 DAO or KOTOR. mass effect 2 failed expectations because it only included the FIRST to avoid controversial news

MORE EVIDENCE----
Bladur's Gate I + expansions
romance? no
success? about two mil with expansions

Bladur's Gate II
elf/alien romance? yes
fully voiced romance? no
same-sex romance? moddable

success? OVER two mil alone

Bladur's Gate II Expansion
elf/alien romance? yes
fully voiced romance? no
same-sex romance? was moddable
nudity? no

success? NOT EVEN 0.7 mil

****i urge BW to PLEASE make mass effect 3 WITHOUT romances so that the gameplay and plot does NOT suffer becaues of it****

i dont care if it doesnt do as well because sales dont matter to me, GAMEPLAY and MAIN STORY MAKING SENSE does

the rpg and shooter industry is being dummed down by characters with seductive voices. bethesda studios doesnt need romance in elder scrolls to be successful because their rpgs are superior in GAMEPLAY....

[SuperMedbh]

Ah yes, the "current games are dumbed* down for other people (unlike me)" post.



We have dismissed these claims.



*pardon me, "dummed".

[Sigma Tauri]

I would like to play this Bladur's Gate.

[Cheese Elemental]

Bethesda doesn't have romance in their games because their animation and voice acting are both fething embarassing.

I think it's the sequel to Colon's Gate.

[Nightwriter]

Their target audience is me. Only me. Me alone. The rest of you all don't even matter.

I am shocked and appalled at BioWare's lack of interest in my personal input. I have not gotten so much as a phone
call from them and I don't know how they expect to get anything done if they don't know what my opinion is.

Their target audience, sir?...

EVERYONE!!!

[Sword of Knowledge]

Please, everyone knows that it is I who is Bioware's target audience!



Frankly, their lack of giant monsters, swords, and magic in Mass Effect disgusts me! I sent them a VERY detailed e-mail, and they had the GALL to ignore it!?!?!?



I think I'll post a whiny thread about it on their forums.



That'll get 'em!



P.S. : Square Enix doesn't need Romance in Final Fantasy I & II because they had Giant Monsters, Swords, and Magic!!!!1!!!!!1!!!!!

[legbamel]

So, their most successful games were the ones with romance in them, which you've pointed out with great specificity. And you would like them to take that information and stuff it in their collective ear so that you can get what you want. Yeah, good luck with that.

[Nightwriter]

Now listen here Sword, I'M their target audience. Every game is created for the sole purpose of pleasing me and me only. It is for this reason I am shocked that none of their games have included a single South Park reference. It is scandalous.

[SuperMedbh]

Serious answer in a non-serious thread. How many blockbuster movies have romance as either the main plot point or a side plot? And I mean romance, not just anatomically questionable female characters in uncomfortable clothing.

You know what the first secular songs recorded were about? You guessed it. Love songs, popular since the 12th century. How on earth is Bioware supposed to buck an a nearly millennium old trend?

Edit to add:  Ecael is my hero.

That, good sir (Madam?) is quite preposterous. I am the center of the universe, this fact is well known. This is obvious, because I love Firefly, and Zaeed, with all his references to Firefly, was obviously made for my enjoyment specifically.

Plus, they made Talimancing possible.

Case closed.

Well, I do think that Colon's Gate II: Sphincters of Amn (as illustrated by MessyPossum) was much more in-depth.

Colon's Gate 2??? What sort of console-****** are you? They had you wasting all that time doing biopsies on polyps when any self respecting narrative would have just gobbled down the fibre.



Hmmm....that made more sense before I said it.

Understandable Nightwriter. You express a clear and valid point!

[SuperMedbh]

I think what keeps bringing me back to this forum is the love and affection we have for each other.



*channels Teletubbies*



BIIIIIIG HUG!!!!

[Captain Jazz]

I think it is disgraceful that bioware have made no games involving vomiting kitty minigames.

[cachx]

Oh, please, we all know the Colon's Gate games were the crappiest ever...

get it?

One time I told my girlfriend I'd be Commander Shepard and she would be Ashley Williams. She thought it was hilarious until she realized I was serious.

Well I wouldn't want to be nuked either. How can you treat your girlfriend that way, man?

I thought she'd like it. She said she's a bit of a masochist.

Make sure none of the people in the character appreciation threads see this. They'll **** bricks.
