Before, BioWare was the one studio I trusted completely. Pre-order everything, buy copies for multiple platforms, get all the DLC, etc.
Now, they're just like any other game studio. Maybe worse, since frankly I feel betrayed. For them to screw up this badly on what could arguably be their most important game yet, tells me that they've lost something.
I didn't mind the day 1 DLC, but considering what we know about EA, and what they've since said on it, I am mad about it now.
Multiplayer is the rap "music" of the gaming world. I can't stand it, and everyone feels the need to throw it where it doesn't belong. If I wanted to listen to rap, I would buy rap. If I wanted to play a multiplayer FPS, I would buy a multiplayer FPS. Get your rap out of my music, and get your MPFPS out of my RPG.
Not nearly as good as the other games. They dumbed down the RPG elements - turned every quest into a fetch quest, removed dialog options, and made too many of the dialogs into autodialog. There were some really great story elements, but not nearly enough.
The ending was horrible. The lies about the game made it much worse. The belittling and marginalizing and name calling against those that didn't like it by BioWare made it unforgivable.
The EC won't help. The ending is fundamentally broken, and without at least some change to what we got, (not just additions, but actual changes), it will remain broken. There's a slim chance that it will fix everything, and if it does I will be pleasantly surprised. However, there's also a slim chance that I'll be struck twice by lightning on the way to turning in the winning lotto ticket that I found on the street. I rank the second as more likely than the first. I just cannot see how they can do anything to fix the ending without making significant changes to it, at least in terms of the premise, and what the endings actually do.
I was crazy about rap music (50 Cent-ish rap music) when I was in my teens, now it sounds like people passing waste out of where normally it doesn't come out.
The thing is, most "gamers" are of that age, where they like rap music, and catering to them means money. And in today's world, almost nobody argues with money. Especially not big game studios, so you can't really be mad at them.
Finally, I don't mean anything I said in a derogatory way, it's all good.
Retour en haut
anyone and any company can write/create a sub-par work (or part of a work, in this case), the Extended Cut makes Bioware seem like a great company. Spielberg never offered to recut any part of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (even though it really is only a handful of scenes that really mar the rest of it) and George Lucas won't STOP altering Star Wars even though we keep begging him to quit it. I don't really care about the argument of they "should" or "shouldn't" change it - you know what? We're fans, we have a right to ASK for anything we want. They're the creator, they have the right to CHOOSE to say either yes OR no to that request. The fact that they said yes, to me, says a lot about their values as a company and encourages me to support them. I hope the Extended Cut is awesome, but I know it probably won't be every single thing I want it to be. That's okay. It reflects well on Bioware that they are taking this step.
