I could do the same in DA2 if I take long walks on the beach. Seriously, it is common knowledge that games designed today simply can't mount the same story content as in the old times when graphics were the least important things about a good game and voiceover was basically non-existant. However keep pretending whatever if it makes you happy.Xarathox wrote...

Agreed.
Skyrim is packed full of big and small quests/events/triggers/etc, that it's insane.

No, I'm simply pointing out the inherent idiocy in the notion that professional game reviews are bought off. It completely ignores the reality that gaming is an extremely subjective thing and one mans great game, is another mans terrible game.Axeface wrote...

Yes, because spamming 0's from multiple accounts is a much more reliable and objective metric.
The internet is full of MAGIC, because only MAGIC can explain how any professional review a person disagrees with is either bought off, if its a positive review for a game you didn't like, or written by an idiot if its a bad review for a game you do like, but every review that you agree with, EVERY, SINGLE, ONE, is a shining beacon of intelligent and objective writing. MAGIC!
Thats why my rule is above 7. By your reasoning a user score of 7 should be some kind of shining beacon of gaming heaven.TheDragonOfWhi wrote...
the low score is result of /v/ spamming it yesterday, about 24 hours ago the score was 1.6 with over 200 neg 'reviews'.
Now
that the mob has mostly drifted away and the people who actually played
the game are coming out of the wood work to give a more honest review,
I'm not surprised to see the 'user score' go up. It'll probably level
out at around 7.3 I'd say before too long.
See? Like I said.

Because it's an open world game. Do I have to point out the difference between narrative and open world? How long is the actual main story line? Compare it to BG2. It's really annoying how you have to spell out obvious things to you people. Can't you think for yourself for once? 220 hours is still extremely exaggerated.Rockworm503 wrote...

I could insult you too, but I won't. I'm above such petty notions.
Also, 220 hours is what I've racked up because of the radiant quests. Because they never run out, kinda like daily quests in MMOs without the wait.

Well if you think MMORPGs are the pinnacle of RPGs/video games then you have a point. I'd go with quality over quantity at any time of the day though.
Edit: Ah nevermind, the other guy was the one with the facepalms, but you agreed, so ...

1. Implementation of Multiplayer in a place where a large portion of the fanbase feels it has no business. This has been expanded because the MP uses the much hated 'trading cards for cash' upgrade system AND has an effect on the SinglePlayer storyline.
2. There seems to be a vocal minority who despise any game with a same-sex romance option. These people are disgusting and bigotted.
3. There seems to be a slightly larger vocal minority who seem unhappy that Bioware's pushback against that vocal-minority has been to declare everything and everyone to be homosexual. I'm not homophobic, personally, but to be honest I'm starting to feel a litlte bit like the protagonist in Joe Haldeman's 'Forever War' when I'm wandering the Normandy.
4. There seem to be a reasonable sized group of customers who are unhappy with the direction of the storyline. Precise complaints vary from de-emphasising much loved characters to cameos, the precise nature of the ending or claims that the story is far more interested in being edgy or clever for its own sake than the satisfaction of its clients.
Obviously one can write off some segments of this protest as misguided or childish, but there does seem to be a legitimate under-current of dissatisfaction that should be acknowledged. Can any ending for such an undertaking possibly be good enough? That's another worthy debating point.

I honestly don't mind to pay more because I miss out of the preorder or CE or whatever. But I won't pay for things I don't want. I really think Bioware may lose alot of money because of that, because frankly, if they don't charge extra for DLC/base game and therefore sell a couple of millions more copies they even make more money. Pretty much like Bethesda/Skyrim.

I don't think MMOs are the pinnacle of gaming. Far from it, in fact, since the basic design hasn't really changed in well over a decade. But there are some things that could transfer over into single player games to continue playability. Take into account the active mod community surrounding Bethesda, their games have lived well past their shelf life.
Skyrim is that perfect blend right now. A single player game with never ending quests/events and a community that will more than likely (based on track record) continue to add new things to the game over the years.
But this is getting way off track.

If we assume people giving zeroes couldn't have completed the game then how can we assume all the tens are valid? What I see is that trollhaters are fighting against ****s.

What? No. DA2 was genuinely poor in comparison to DAO. The 0/10 score, yes, that's similar, but people were furious about DA2 because it was bad.
Unless you're trying to imply ME3 is inferior to the prior two games...

Honestly I don't vote there and won't. Every vote gives metacritic more credit and in the end we still get a rating that is lower than it should be. The best would have been to ignore it and let all the 0's vote the game to 0.6/10 then it would be plain to see that decent people are boycotting this BS. Unless metacritic deletes all the 0's and 1's it is going to be a biased thing altogether.
