..."Quasi-snobs?"

It's OK to say it that way, because you're only quasi-insulting people, right?


Sir, I quasi nothing.  I full on insult people.  :blink:

I say "quasi-snob" because it's apparent that some people in the world (outside of BSN) thinks that by critiquing the hell out of something that it makes them look smart.  That's not an insult, that's a reality.

I don't think "AMERICANS" are being targeted by this post. It's just that we, being the superpower and world leader *ahem, I want to ****** off Europeans*, got the game first. In our exuberance, some of our countrymen are leaking info and it's hitting the eyes of our Euro counterparts.

This is a plea for restraint.

I understand. It's like the little kid who found out a juicy secret. He can't keep his mouth shut in spite of himself.





Actually Asia got it first. lol  They got it yesterday. Officially today is US release.


AWAY WITH YE!!!

"Character so-and-so dies when X happens." That is a spoiler.

"I think character so-and-so is hot!" This is not a spoiler.

"The game is buggy and the graphics are wonky." Also not a spoiler.

The fact that we shattered your precious illusion that the game was going to be some sort of divine gift to you... is not a spoiler.


I address two things, spoilers and the right for people to enjoy a spoiler-free thread.

What I also mentioned, perhaps it should have been in a reply, is that (and others agreed with me) it really sucks when you're so so excited for a game, as we all were (we were all in the same boat) and then it comes out in one place and not the other - then the thread gets overtaken by discussions about how bad this is, and that is, no balanced takes bar a few peoples posts. 

There is just one forum that is spoiler-free and there are other forums for technical support, for story elements etc... I'm just putting it out there- why here? Why cut into our excitement? 


I competely agree with you, decided i was going to try and stay away from BSN until i get my copy but i'm already avoiding youtube ME Wiki and google searches so why shouldn't i be able to come here and keep my excitement up without being spoiled.  Would be a totally different story if the UK got the game first and posted everything we have been seeing.

Dude the game is AMAZING, the only reason people are saying that stuff is because this is friggin' BSN! Check the reviews from major gaming publications or on metacritic! This community is garbage when it comes to non-biased, decent critique of games. Absolute trash.


I checked Metacritic and it seems to be the same situation.

I'm beginning to have doubts but I want to actually be able to pick up the game and try it myself, NO REGRETS!

I was thinking of the other one about ASSUME. You know... when you assume, you make an *** out of U but not ME. I put the not part though when I say it although the saying doesn't use not. ;)

It's "Uhmuricah" smh how can you guys consider yourselves real Uhmuricahns.

@OP I agree with your post although it seems to have gone over some peoples heads. It's frustrating seeing spoilerific questions in the title (e.g."How did you guys feel about Conrad Verners death" or "Volus face reveal, what'd ya think?" these are fake of course). However you should probably delete the ones you have in ur paragraph because you're assuming people have read these things already.

Oh geez, I didn't know I was capable of forming my own opinion - look maybe I didn't put it across as well as I could have. I want to play ME3 untainted by what others are saying, I don't want spoilers and I want to enjoy the excitement I have been experiencing leading up to this launch.

I don't want those complaints people have put on a spoiler-free forum to be creeping into my thoughts when I play my copy on Friday, I'm quite OCD when it comes to it I guess. I want it to be a pure experience - my first reactions I want to be my own and not me thinking back to what I've come across, on here, when that stuff shouldn't have been posted in the first place.


spoilers do not belong here , and people should be considerate. That being said I do not know how you could expect to come to bsn and not hear other people's opinions. If the boards do not want any negative input they should post rules and moderate.

Spoilers are story line. people are more than within the rules to come here and state thier opinions on gameplay, graphics , sound , score etc....as long as its general and does not include story elements.

Didn't asia get unlocked first?, in fact anyone with a copy could have proxied hong kong and opened the game early, sccording to what i have read on other forums. people just love to ****** on americans, like they are all the same.  



Yes but it's Americans posting spoilers. I'm not raging about it, I'm just pleading - to just keep it to a minimum. Also, as we discussed before - in Europe we're still hyped and excited and this negativity has done its damage, although its minute - it's certainly made me a little worried about the final product. I'm sure I'll be satisfied come friday - it just means that over the next few days, when I thought I could come here and still talk about Mass Effect and how excited I am, I now can't because threads that belong on other forums are flooding over into this one. 




Did you ask ALL of them what nationality they are? No you assume they are all Americans. And you know what they say when you ASSUME, right?



When someone says Amazon.com posted their collectors edition etc when they say Gamestop did this and Gamestop did that, when they spell things with an American Dictionary spelling, yeah - I'll assume you're American.


Ahh assumption , the mother of all screwups.

I work for a huge multi national. we have a gamers club at our office. 80 percent of the 24 people in it are not americans. they bought thier games through amazon , and i am sure a few did through gamespot.

You see how easy it is to be wrong when you rag on people from another country. Why didnt you just say it generally and keep the politics out of it. That's all i'm saying...........


Everyones argument against me is off topic? This isn't about Americans. I'm assuming that most of the people posting are American - but that's because they're typing in American-English, so show me some data that disproves me and I'll gladly accept it - I actually don't care. I didn't intend to insult Americans (I didn't know it would be so easy) I haven't written anything inflammetory - my complaints against people posting what they are, isn't because they are American - that's just context - it's because they ARE posting what they are posting. It's simply that. If I saw the majority of posts written in French, I'd say "Frenchies, stop it!"

Spoilers should go into the spoiler section of the boards, that is why they are there. I don't want to read them yet, hence why i'm staying put in this section of the board. I'm not policing anyone, thus not asking you to stop expressing opinions. Just make sure they go into the correct sections of the boards.

I agree 100% and Bioware mods should lock/delete/move spolier theads in this section on BSN with a quickness.

What ARE you talking about? You asked me what indicated posters as American. That got twisted into (somehow) me finding Gamespot as a spoiler, that is well and truly stupid. No, I'm not saying Americans are stupid. I'm saying this is getting stupid and off-topic.

You said you can tell what nationality people are by what they type. So go for it. If you can't, just say so and that you just tried to cause a flame thread in disguise.

Only Americans go to school now? That can be any teenager. That's all that says to me.

Edit: And what I asked you to say the nationality, the author actually did in a follow up post so there's no assuming happening there. But since you can't identify that author and you pull another assumption, goes to show you don't know.

I've indulged and humoured their arguments because I really don't like to offend anyone yet, it seems as though they take offense before I've even opened my virtual mouth - for instance the post above yours. What IS that boy talking about? The fact the game is out in America, the fact Americans use the spelling "mom" which is American-English and is used no where else to my knowledge - indicates pretty strongly that a post like that is by an American user, but people on here are so set on trying to coax some kind of admition out of me that I'm a hater. This post is about the individuals posting what they are, not the fact they're American - grow a ticker skin guys. No one really cares if you're American, Asari or a talking arse (or whether you're talking out your arse)

Please feel free to quote me anywhere in this entire discussion where I've ever bashed Americans - no really, please do. I've questioned the actions of individual American Mass Effect 3 users who are posting on a non-spoiler thread. This has nothing to do with being American, its to do with having access to the game earlier than us and not using the other fourms avialable to you, instead posting stuff that doesnt belong on a spoiler-free forum. That is all. Big kiss :kissing:
