Always room for going lower.

Of course. But when you setting margins for your expectations, wouldn't it be logical to base them on some basis, be that your previous experience, "hunch", "sixth feeling", "intelligence work" or whatever else there is?

As the say in the Limbo dance, how low can you go?

No idea. "Life is full of surprises" isn't it?

Dragoonlordz wrote...

As mentioned to you in PM's just start treating it as a way to pass time, a form of entertainment between work and relationships (life in general).

Not sure whether I mentioned that or not, probably not, at least in last couple of days (if you excuse me, I have no wish to dig through our PMs, It's not shortest thing to read, as you know), but I do treat them this way. And I'm pretty sure I mentioned main "raisins" of my "frustration", so to speak.

Dragoonlordz wrote...

It is fine to be annoyed for while or disappointed in a product but if remain in control of emotions and treat it as should be treated then that disappointment will be vastly lowered.

Oh, come on, I'm insane colibri on caffeine, I cannot control my emotions, regardless of their tone, source and colour.

Dragoonlordz wrote...

At the same time the ones that exceed such expectations and will happen far more often if lowered, will make you more joy in the long run. Some people put their expectations so high they were never going to be achieved.

IIRC we shared opinion on that already - up to level of my expectations.

Well, maybe you can. I do not. I'm teetotaller.
Hmm, speaking of sobriety. Should I demand option "no forced beverages consumption" from Bioware for their future games?

Diablo 3, AC3

Isn't "anticipation of sequels" kind of his point?

I can play a few rounds of Halo, but nothing else really. Whenever I try to play a story-based game (yes, I even tried to replay TW2 with the EE downloaded) my mind goes completely numb.

Ever since the ending to ME3, i have not only lost my motivation for playing what was my favorite video game series.  I have pretty much lost my will to play video games in general.  This entire chain of events that has happened since March, has made me feel like i cant trust developers anymore or feel any joy over purchasing a product.  I cant even get myself to feel excited over Diablo 3 or AC3.  I never thought that a 10 minute ending could have such a negative impact on me.


Thank you Bioware.

And? What's the 'so what'?

If a 10 minute ending could have such an impact on you, you were clearly never a solid consumer to be relied upon in the first place.

What ever made you think this?

No, ME was never 'supposed' to be a game akin to Skyrim, TW2, or DA2. Those are completely different subgenres of RPGs. Heck, those three aren't even the same sub-genres either: Skyrim is a setting-focused exploration RPG, TW2 is a complex-path but still story driven RPG, and DA2 (much like DAO) is a largely linear RPG.


ME1 never even attempted to be TW2, or Skyrim, or DA2. It was always a shooting-based action-RPG.

Did I say that?

I said ME3 was supposed to be this big satisfying epic game, but really it was an okay game in the end. Nothing special, makes you lose faith in gaming in general. ):

Hence why I can'y play the other games as interestedly.

I can't speak for the OP, but I share his sentiments. Anyways, here is a list of Bioware games/accessories I have purchased since the original Mass Effect -

-  Mass Effect themed  Xbox 360 Faceplate
- DLC Bring Down the Sky 
- DLC Pinnacle Station 
- Mass Effect: Revelation
- Mass Effect: Ascension
- Mass Effect: Retribution
- N7 Hoodie
- Dragon Age: Origins
- DLC Gokems of Amgarrak
- DLC Return to Ostagar
- DLC Warden's Keep
- DLC Witch Hunt
- Dragon Age: Awakening 
- Mass Effect 2
- DLC Overlord
- DLC Lair of the Shadowbroker 
- DLC Arrival
- DLC Alternate Appearance Pack 1
- DLC Alternate Appearance Pack 2
- DLC Firewalker 
- DLC Stolen Memories 
- DLC Equalizer Pack
- DLC - Aegis Pack
- DLC Firepower Pack
- DLC Dr. Pepper Promo Event (x3)
- Preordered a Garrus Vakarian figure from Square-Enix
- Mass Effect Normandy SR2 lithograph
-  Dragon Age 2: Signature Edition
- Mass Effect 3: N7 Edition
- N7 Imperator mouse by Razer
- ME3 Vespula mousepad by Razer

So yeah, I was the very definition of a "solid consumer" before Bioware destroyed my relations with their company with an absolutely atrocious post-release PR campaign.

Bah..There are good games coming out, forget ME3. Actually I'm excitedly waiting for Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2 and Borderlands 2. There are other fish in the sea soon enough

[MattFini]

All I'm going to say is that I have been VERY down on gaming after the whole ME3 debacle.

But I did buy The Witcher 2 this week and really got a chance to dig into it today. It's VERY good stuff.

Good story (so far), interesting characters, and an expansive world.

I wasn't expecting much, but it has gone a long way toward making me move on from ME3.

Now, it's going to be a lot easier to close the book on BioWare if they don't really come through with the extended cut ending.

[billida]

i stopped playing completely for weeks after this debacle, i felt quite empty, after waiting so long for such a letdown.

I bought Amalur two days ago, then started slowly, and now i find myself enjoying more and more the game. even if it is very classical, the landscapes are beautiful, the country is really huge, the combat system is fun (i play full mage with chakrams), there are lots and lots of quests. And oh my, it is EA. damn.

Thank you Bioware.

I can't get excited over AC3 because it is a pile of rubbish most likely, but don't say you're going to retire because that's always when bad things happen in the movies!

[ediskrad327]

actually if anything the ending made me feel more comfortable about future games i'm expecting since i really believe i will never see a more crappy ending in my life and will not be disappointed again

Dean, can you start talking about the collector base again so I can stop agreeing with you so damn much? it's bothering me

I apologize for that earlier statement, I should have used the official term, PPSD, Post Playthrough Stress Disorder.

Go and relax, burn all your game related possesssions(must be burned for symbolism showing rebirth through destruction), and go get yourself a new hobby, like mixed martial arts or monster trucking.

You know he could just I don't know...SELL THEM!!

gawd you people can be so dramatic, although ima better.

[Tank207]

I'm pretty much done with the mainstream market.

After how BioWare has been acting with the ME3 fallout and seeing the Diablo III BETA... yeah... I think I'm sticking with indie games from now on.

OP needs to get mad at what some companies are trying to do to our gaming hobby. Voice your thoughts as a consumer! But do so legally and sensibly. I for one will not allow EA to let their cancer florish in the hobby.

Personally can't wait for Diablo 3!!! DIABLO 3 HAS AN OPEN BETA ON THIS WEEKEND!!!

I hate to say this, but Diablo 3 really isn't that good. They stripped out most everything diablo 2 had. It's super casual. You're better off trying Guild Wars 2 next weekend.

[BiO]

You probably weren't a gamer to begin with.

[Phaedros]

DA2 & ME3 are symptoms of a much wider decline in standards for gaming in general & specifically for true RPGs.


I know just how you feel OP.  Just how you feel...
