So let me get this straight; because *you* care about Day One DLC and face importing, those are "real, gamebreaking issues," but because you don't think the ending is broken, people getting upset about that are "unhinged?" Despite there clearly being tens of thousands more people expressing that opinion than are expressing yours, and many of those people feel the entire series has been broken, not just this game?
A couple things:
If you're going to fight a battle against a company, doesn't it make more sense to go after a giant bug import issue and the idea that Bioware is charging you for content that should be in the game? Again, it's about picking your battles wisely.
And the second part...are you saying that a person that hated the entire series and yet continues to buy the games, play the games, and come to the forum and complain about them is not slightly strange? That's what I mean by unhinged. If a person hates the whole series or believes "the entire series is broken", why play the games? To just make themselves angry? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, because otherwise you're proving my point.
I get people are upset about the endings. But stores are subjective. Always have been. Glitches and marketing schemes...not so much. And even with these, they have nothing to do with critical score about the quality iof a game.
Well it should if the game's advertising doesn't match the actual product. If Street Fighter X Tekken promised dozens of playable characters to choose from, but only 23 were playable without buying DLC shouldn't at least be mentioned in the review? It doesn't matter if the game is the best game ever it still wasn't truthful about the product.
You may be surprisd, but I won't argue that point. There is disconnect between EA marketing and Bioware's finished product. It's becoming more and more prevalent with each new release. I'm not sure what the answer to that is. I said this before, the marriage between EA and Bioware is like a hippie artist and a corporate lawyer shacking up. It's an odd relationship. And if you really analyze and read between the lines, I think it's this odd relationship that began this hate and venom from the fanbase. I, personally, can live with it as long as Bioware continues to push boundaries and go against the grain with their games. Bioware has always tried to change the perception of storytelling in their video games. This is nothing new. And I hope all of this backlash won't change them, neuter them, and turn them into a company that makes mindless crap. The gaming industry has enough of that on the shelves, thank you very much. Again, say what you want about Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3...they told stories that weren't afraid to challenge you.
