I'm stitting here now looking at my jade empire special edition, my star wars the old republic, my mass effect, mass effect 2, and mass effect 3 cases, and all my dragon age stuff and I'm going "I could have gotten a turbocharger system, exhaust, and probably a whole new stereo system for all of this crap".
I'm still trying to figure out how we went from the awesome that is Jade Empire to the mediocrity that is SWTOR, to the awesome until the massive fail end Mass Effect 3.
You know what, I notice JE has 2kGames as the publisher, and the rest have EA, given my own realization about that particular publisher (I USED to be a need for speed series fan, I used to.), I still say they had something to do with it, probably the unmoveable deadline, so probably not, I wouldn't buy from them, I don't particularly trust them to give me a game that will satisfy me in the end.
Just how I don't trust EA Blackbox to make a need for speed that isn't a rehash of the previous one, including same engine, bugs, crashes, lackluster patches, and dumping it's online for the one that follows the very.next.year.
