Care to take a swing at being anti-semitic?

How... laughable.

Do you usually slander others with such generalities and assumptions?

You seem to offer no real point in your reply. It actually reads like a stream of consciousness engulfed in rage. This is usually the case when someones beliefs are challenged with facts and insight.

Question: Do you normally judge motives of others?

If so, I think you should step back and find....

...some perspective.

Did you just change topics?

More like personalities.

While I don't entirely agree with the manor in which everyone is responding to you, you can not deny the fact that many of your previous posts are riddled with anti retake and Christian overtones. I believe that if you responded in a way that argues your points rather then belittling others they likely would react to you in a more respectful way.

As to my previous post to you please expand on how the retake movement relates to Christianity. (pm it to me so it doesnt water down the thread) I am genuinely interested in what you are trying to say there.

Cough cough... I'm not going to get into the religious debate, I don't want to contribute to this thread getting locked. But *damn* that facebook excerpt was funny.

Bottom line of this story, revenue and margin seem to be solidly up for EA this quarter and as far as sales figures go they have no reason to be unhappy with how ME3 has performed. Even the boost to ME2 sales has helped their bottom line significantly.

However, EA shares have been going down since Q4 results came out so there's more to the story. Shareholders are not happy and all the bad press probably has something to do with it.

A couple things I noted from the EA Q4 report. The name "Mass Effect" appears in only one slide. That's it, for a game that sold over 2 million copies in March alone (3.25 million total).

The one word that keeps coming up in every slide is "digital". Their whole growth strategy is focused on digital revenue, and the biggest item in there is "Extra Content". Or DLC. I think the Day 1 DLC controversy around ME3 scared the shareholders much more than the "Retake" movement ever did. Customer rebellion over DLC is the one thing they can't afford.

Later you have one slide with all of EA's main brands. Lots of sports games in there, but not a single Bioware title. I'm no alarmist but I'm more than a bit confounded by that. It seems like EA has no idea and no vision on how to manage the Bioware brand.

What's the surprise? I agree the rest of the game is fantastic, but the ending is just such a sour note that it makes it hard to see it as a good game.

Something must seriously be affecting your memory. How many posts have I addressed to you specifically trying to appeal to your sensibilities? Specifically trying to get you to see the merits of civil discourse as opposed to your standard fare antagonistic threads/posts that get you absolutely nowhere. That always seem to get your views dismissed as the nonsensical ramblings of a nincompoop.

I can make multiple threads lambasting a particular movement and playing at a nonexistant trump card too. But you know what? People see through that bull****. So who's views are you challenging? Who's views are you representing?

Question: When someone's motives are clearly suspect, questionable, and favoring a specific agenda, shouldn't you judge them? Especially when they build themselves up on the false pretense of advocation?

If not, then I think you should step back and find....

The passive-aggressive image is a nice touch...

Again, I have no idea why I'm being attacked over the fact that ME3 has reached the $200 million mark....

I only use facts to back up my claims. Always. I have also been completely respectful to you as you continue to slander me...

You remind me of a chambermaid I once knew: www.youtube.com/watch

Feel better mate. It's no my fault the movement failed.

Kinda makes me feel irrelevant as a fan, I think I'm just going to give up all together. If they have all the money they need, why should they care about fan feedback?

Oh well, nice knowing you all, probably going to not bother with BSN anymore, if the game is a winner for EA, there's no point pressuring them to make changes or do anything to please fans.

No need to waste me time and effort. Guess I'll find an indie studio to fall in love with.

They got fan feedback.  $200 million worth.  ME3 was a great game.  Start, middle, and end.  :lol:

Mass Effect 3 was a good game but I wouldn't go as far as to say great beyond start and middle. It had a number of annoying flaws such as that horrible journal, a weak final act and the ending could certainly have been better, and maybe it will with the EC.

As for the money, Mass Effect had a huge following when it launched and it was bound to sell quite a bit, so that's no surprise nor a reflection of fan satisfation with the product.

[veramis]

Did bioware or EA release official sales numbers? Also, the profit from sales may be about 50% going to developer/publisher, so assuming 200 million in sales, it may be 100 million or so return, and I may be way off, but I am guessing the budget for ME3 may be around 20 million, maybe 40 million if they stuffed the pockets of their friends with shareholder money.

I'm assuming the trump card that your referring to is the Christianity argument that somehow perfectly illustrates her arguments, although it has yet to be made clear what that is. Please pm me the details of what you are saying minty. I am just trying to do what you are advocating. Gather information from multiple viewpoints in order to form an educated opinion for myself.

I'm not trying to attack her. I'm simply trying to figure out what she is talking about, yet I'm been getting ignored for the past hour.

What comes next is you rushing to obtain DA3 Collectors Edition - Platinum. lol.

You're an assumed asset. Bioware knows this.....

Vocal minorities always lose. Always.


$200 million worth of Checkmate proves it.

And how much of that 200 million was earned through preorders generated by goodwill garnered through the previous two games quality. Not to mention pre release hype and exaggerated promises.

It would be interesting to see how much ME3 has generated excluding these sales.

Again you're an assumed asset. Similarly to how a dedicated Christian finds out there beliefs are filled with bigotry and hypocrisies....

Yet...

...They ignore this information and insight and continue to be flocked like herded sheep.

You'll be back for the next triple-AAA title, and Biowares knows this....


$200 million does, not, lie. Checkmate.

Minty, if you're going to troll, at least try to be funny.

If anyone's a troll, it's you.  You LIVE on these forums bashing anything positive about ME3.  We get it, the ending wasn't great and there were a few flaws in the game mechanics, but for the love of baby jesus, just STFU.

Yeah as much as she talks about trolling the angsty one trolls quite a bit.

Actually, we have no specific figures for ME, but the average for EA games is about 65% profit margin, sometimes up to 70%. So quite a bit more than 50.
