I'm just waiting to hear some or ANY sort of clarification out of Bioware.
Even a simple, "Eh, we don't really care" would suffice.
After DA2 and this however, I can guarantee that new Bioware media won't be day one purchase. The scary part is I don't even feel like I can trust "gaming review" sites anymore. Sure, I think most of us were a bit wary as to publishers and their influence but... man, the media spin so far has been brutally eye-opening.
Yes. I noticed the same with reviews for Saints Row 3, which was pretty much an infinitely inferior game to SR2, but got 10/10s from the gaming sites. It's obvious these reviewers either don't play their review copies till the end before writing the review, or they are being pressured by their editors to give these AAA titles a high score. They make a living from the ad revenue these game publisher provide, after all.
Anyway, I haven't felt this depressed over a game since KOTOR 2. Like that game, the ending for ME3 was so OBVIOUSLY rushed that it just seems painful to think about. Bioware bragged about 3 different endings, yet those 3 are basically the same ending with a pallette swap. I guess like with the Javik DLC being "made by a seperate team months after going gold," their excuse of the tacked-on multiplayer not affecting the single player game was a big fat load of bull as well. I guarantee you that if assets weren't wasted on the multiplayer, ME3 would have a proper ending (or two) right now.
