Chmarr - where did you read sales were under a million? Just curious, not doubting you. Don't need a quote or anything, just where it was? I've been searching hard for that kind of info.


it was on forbes as well as the EA nasdaq reports.
they shipped out 3.5 million and sold just under a million, another week of sales and it will be  1 million


Total Global sales of ME3 from 10th Match to the 7th April on all platforms is 2,686,100 units, of which 2,460,438 (or 91.5 %) was pre-orders and first week sales.

Sales figures can be found here; http://www.vgchartz....ffect-3/Global/

Vahilor - rather hard to do if you're dead, or a reaper machine, or a piece of an energy beam. :-P

Life all good with you?


Doing pretty well, trying to do some writing and school is kicking my butt this term, but hey, I'm alive, healthy and got all the bills paid so I'm doing pretty good in my book :)

It is hard finding the time to get the writing done in between everything else! How is school kicking your butt?


Having been out of school for over 20 years, it's really hard to get back into the routine.  Especially when you've spent many years pretty much doing your own thing and making your own schedule.

Lol I can imagine, I'm not sure I'd be up for going back! What're you studying?

Computer science, I'm a computer tech/IT person by trade, however, with the US job market the way it currently is, I'm in need of a degree these days /sigh.

That's a shame since most IT degrees don't add anything to your technical ability, it just seems to be the words on the CV - but then that might just be the UK.

one other thing, i have an idea on how to save thane, mordin as well as legion so they are there till the end.

3 ideas to save 3 lives and it can all be done in a valid sensible way

Admittedly this is a personal opinion but I don't think they should find a way to bring them back. I think their deaths were incredibly well done and poignant.



well legion is the easy one to bring back

mordin, theres so many ideas i can think of that can save him

thane would be the hardest but in one of the other posts it is true that thane was still breathing when we left him and thane stopped his son from giving him a blood transfusion, maybe when he went unconciousness and after shepard left his son would then have the yes / no say in the blood transfusion so in a sense his son could save his life


I think their death scenes were the best scenes in the whole game, maybe aside from Tali on Rannoch. I always welcome choices though. I think Mordin would have been the easiest to save, he normalized the Shroud, and then just hung around, either the Normandy could have swooped in and grabbed him, or at the very least he could have taken the elevator back down, he actually had plenty of time.
I think Thane's was a good death, it was how I expected him to die. And Legion, well, that seemed forced. Even though I thought it was well executed. I'm just mad we didn't actually get to have any of them in our party, even for a short time. We didn't even have a Krogan.

Thane's death was fantastic; way better than waiting to die of his disease.  It was sad, sure, but he died a hero and that is awesome, especially for a character that always was atoning for his past.

Mordin's death was also executed very well.  He died (at least the Paragon way) undoing the wrongs he comitted in his life; he found peace.  His death was also a good death.  I would not take this away from him, and I think saving him would take away something from the game.  His death is actually one of my favorite parts of the game; not because I wanted him to die (quite the contrary, I really like his character), but because of how upset I was he died and how happy I was he had the chance to sacrifice himself to right his wrongs.

I agree Legion felt forced, but was well done.  If you think about it though, he isn't really dead; piece of him exists in every geth platform, so that is kind of cool.  I also like the idea of the machine sacrificing himself to save others; it shows nobility and honor in the geth (which further pisses me off about the whole synthentic vs organic thing the starbrat spouts at me that the thing that is supposedly my Shepard for some reason blindly agrees with).

With the level of meanginful sacrifice in this game, blowing up the mass relays, killing all synthetics (and possibly destroying every solar system with a mass relay) is overkill.  The game was bittersweet (the meaninful, but sad deaths of your friends, constant sacrifices, offset by jokes and conversations with old friends and the touching scenes with your LI) .  The ending just makes the game bittersuck.

I don't find Legion's death was forced particularly but I think the most poignant bit of that for me was when he used "I" instead of "we". Image IPB

And yet we still end up with that travesty of an ending.....

Actually reading some of the other posts I have to revisit my short one.
I agree with the others that Thane's death was well executed and better way for him to go than getting slowly killed by his disease. (Kinda forgot about it while I was typing)

in short bioware delivered on promises for 2 games which were DA:O and ME2, the rest of them bioware did not deliver more so on ME3 which bioware have officaly been called liars by the BBB and even the canadian advertising authority are now investigating biowares promises of ME3.


Point of fact, It was a blog on the BBB site by an an employee. As I recall that is not really an official anything and they mearly said they were misleading. Even if it is believed to be true, let's avoid the direct accusations in this thread.

and now bioware has started to make dragon age 3 and there using THE ELDER SCROLLS: SKYRIM as a BASE.
WOW just WOW, there so lost there using OTHER COMPANIES GAMES to base there NEW GAME ON,
toss in the fact they have already made ONE promise "not to repeat any part of levels in DA3" that right there is impossible, that means if someone goes down a path thats been used in another quest then they have broken the promise.


What do you mean "a base."

Also, not impossible. I'm playing Kingdoms of Amalur and I do not notice any level reuse. Mind you:*notice*. It all depends on how it is implemented.
