So what do you guys feel about it? personally i find this extremenly unfair, 1st with the battlefield 3 bonus and now this.
Good way to show that bioware doesn't care about ps3 users.
E.A gives ps3 exclusives on anything battlefield 3, B2K map packs early, all upcoming maps early, also got the demo early and last but not least, the mass effect dogs tags in game.. including a mass effect 3 tag, there are 2..
i was throwing a hissy the day of, obviously over the principal and obviously just to hear myself think because i knew it wouldnt do much but make me feel a little better, lol
so basically i wanted to know, needed to know but had to wait, and unfortunately the mass effect of opinions is only true in the minds of the randoms who were tossing them out there.
finally i got some info, wasnt what i was expecting to hear and more importantly not what i was hoping to hear..
by contractual obligations certain things can not be discussed , even something which seems simple can be volcanic if worded wrongly of if worded at all , in this case a bunch of wealthy corperations.
i have learned that nobody is exempt from touching on certain subjects, especially when its on their property,lol..
i will and can say this much, " who ever is in control of dispersing such digital content may do so at their discretion via the network"
so if the elements that be felt like it would be a nice gesture to toss us a bone, a recruit pack etc, it is possible. "so as long as one has internet access and redeemed a valid online pass"
keep in mind that one can not snap fingers and viola, but it can be done and would be a more simpler process to give pretty much identical items to everybody. but it is a process none the less.
and to my knowledge this has not been ruled out, it may very well happen if the future.
the name and number in the box to the left of my post is my psn user name if you want to get a better understanding,
but i have come to the conclusion that its not worth any more usage of the 5 and 1 half brain cells i have left. i have also come to a conclusion while those brains cells were being used and wanting to get the most out of them in the same moment in case of potential loss of some, that :
"wow, maybe you are getting a bit old for this crap, its not the golden age anymore, it just feels so cheap and crappy to game and thats just it, its not cheap and the way i game well lets just say i could feed an orphanage before one gaming quater is up. all the accessories, guides, dlc's and dlc's for those dlc's just for new dlc's to come out w/ all the dlc's in whats called a "complete edition". well the irony in buying items which are not complete i normally dont practice in my non-gaming affairs for example - paying for a carry on, a small suitcase, then a medium one and then a large suitcase, wait a while, and then go back and buy the entire indentical set at a cheaper price , common sense tells me that i should look for a set first because its probably cheaper and if i dont then shame on me for being an idiot.
but i know the ropes by now, the tricks of the gaming trade , by no means am i new to this and thats the scary part, the part i dont like 2 admit to myself or anyone for that matter. but like the word insanity is defined, doing the same things over and over again expecting different results. so am i insane? or is that naive kid who loved his nintendo and sega just mighting himself for things to be different the next game or ultimately somehow get some sort of fair treatment on a level of business pactices, well in my mind i know the gaming industries well oiled money printing publishing machines turned everything to hot trash and the many laws passed by congress basically opened the flood gates for them and closed the door on in the faces of the gamers in one motion so i must be some sort of game-o-holic or some gamehead ! so a naive, nuts in much denial and strung out on pixels.
but after all these years of gaming i never really stopped to think about how much the industry has changed. to the point where/when the companies that are selling me a fun exp on a disk/hard drive are also the very ones taking away from the fun exp.. you kidding me? years ago a this crap wouldnt go on, people wouldnt stand for it.
but thats just it. its not years ago. in one shape or form i have been around gaming for one reason or another but it was the passion was what kept me playing. but that passion has taken a beating.. nothing happened over night, but maybe it just hit me hard because mass effect / bioware where one of the few that kept that spirit alive and it sad to see that no game/studio/developer is immune and maybe i just wished it would skip mass effect and just continue to commercialize the re-hashed crap thats lingering out there,which there certainly isnt a shortage of.
anyways , later people..
