Seriously...
These figures mean people liked Mass Effect 2, so they bought Mass Effect 3...

Hey KotorEffect3 I want an answer to the answer I made to your answer to my answer to your answer about my nice pic :wizard:

Should've put that on a picture of Xzibit with "Yo dawg" at the beginning of it.

Bioware deserves to have better fans than what they have got on this forum at least.


Ok, so who's the better friend?

Just before a party your friend decides to wear the most stupid looking outfit in the world, ever conceived. He will not get any dances with that, not get any looks with that and will have a whole bummer of an evening looking like a **** - and you know it.

So, do you tell him before you leave and get him to change into something better?
Or do you just sit there and watch him look like an idiot - ridiculed and upset?

Praising BW 100% for everything they do ever, even if it's terrible or mediocre, is not being a good fan. It's being stupid.



Once again the black and white thinking of the bsn is on display.  Just because someone doesn't want to be negative 24/7 doesn't mean they praise everything 100%.  I have even said I didn't like the ending.  I just don't condemn the whole damn game over the last 5 minutes.  I have also said DA 2 was flawed but fun.  Just because I would rather be a glass half full person than a glass half empty person doesn't mean I am blinded.  Yet you haters seem to only want to be 100% negative and you decry anything positive.

Is it just me or did someone else find something wrong with the math in this article?

At $59.99, 3 million units would generate much more than $200 million dollars.


$60 x 3,000,000 = $180,000,000


My bro like MP games and so he bought ME3. but he doesn't like to play the story because he finds it boring with no interactivity with other players. I can't blame him he dedicate his life for MP.
HOWEVER, BW sells RPG?? so is their sales represent good indicator? I feel most buyers could have more interest on MP rather than game story. It is better to stop making RPG and start focusing on MP. The profit margin could increase incredibly.

I don't know if this was brought up, but EA as a company had high revenue for 2012, but low income. In fact, income dropped 264% this fiscal year, meaning despite making money, their bottom line profits were real low.

Chances are, they paid out a lot on speculation for next gen, severance packages and game development to keep the company afloat, which is a mark of either severe growing pains, or mismanagement of funds. Because the company is so big at this point, I am thinking the former over the latter, because they added several studios in the past few years.

That all said, all I have to say is, what did you expect, OP? Of course the game was going to sell. Long term impact though, remains to be seen. But considering people are still talking about Mass Effect 3 2 months after release...id say they are successful in that too.

As for the multiplayer addition, i'm sure it added sales. No doubt about that at all. But the focus was single player, not the multiplayer, so I guarentee a majority of the sales regarding the game were made with single player in mind, with multiplayer sustaining replayability for a majority of the consumer base. In other words, multiplayer gives the game more life than a replay of the single player becuase its both different and random.

Why are you saying all of that to me?

I was just correcting another person's erroneous math...

You forgot to mention the game import bug, and the removal of assets from the Character Creator making it nearly impossible to import your Sheaprd with any degree of reliability or recognizability.

And actually, I don't condemn the game based on the last 5 minutes - I condemn the game based on the previous 20 hours of really poor BW quality game play.
I openly acknowledge that there were good aspects in the game, but these were weighed down or negated by the many bad things.

Also I'd like to add how unbelieveably hypocritical you are. It's obvious that you are the most black and white poster here, since apparently anyone who criticises the game more than you is a HATER who decries ANYTHING positive.

It was patched, but I think a second issue came up regarding Mass Effect 2 profile saves now. Don't quote me though i'm not sure if that was fixed yet.

That's about 2.8 million copies sold if you take CE into account.

Not the over 3 million copies claim reviewer sites mentioned at the beginning of April

I have been able to import two shepards since the patch.  Hair looked a little different but everything else was spot on.

I play on the 360 and everything imported fine on the two shepards I have imported since the patch, only thing that looked different was the hair and that was only slight.

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::lol::lol:

Why is it that anybody with a positive opinion of the game now gets accused of trolling?


I think you haven't played the game in my opinion. The game has some good part like Tuchanka , but other parts are "Trolling" "sorry for using that expersion" 









I've beaten the game 5 times.  Way to make false assumptions.


Good! then let me ask you this simple question; how did your last squad mate manage to have a ride in the Normandy and why did Joker send the Normandy to uncharted world if Shep has truly won against the Reapers? 

In fact these people; who you are aruging with; are very loyal to BW and they have all their games. They hate what their favourite game producer became and wish to see changes. 


I like how you ignore the previous 40 hours of gameplay to whine about the last few minutes.  Shows what perspective you have.


I will hold my answer, although I spent 1000hrs playing ME 1&2 in addition to the time I spent in reading ME novels. I can't believe you made such a commitement to play ME3 FIVE times??
