While Skyrim is still at or near full price? Skyrim even sold four times as many copies as ME3. Can someone explain?

Bethesda have no artistic or inegrity? LOL! It's pretty sad, actually.

Bethesda appeals to the unwashed masses.

Did you know Walmart sells far more clothes than Imporio Armani?

Stores were accepting full refunds of openned PC versions of the game (amazon for example). Basically they had tonnes of copies of the games but people were not buying it or they were buying and returning.

Basically bad press caused by a bad game caused the price drop.

Actually Skyrim sold exponentially well. It's a lot of people's first Elder Scrolls game.

Bethesda's not afraid to Break the Steel.

Bioware doesn't?

Word of mouth hurt ME3 more than anything else. Word of mouth helped Skyrim (cause its better)

How did broken steal change the ending? I never understood this. All it did was add on to it, you still effectively die at the end of the game, everything plays out exactly as it did before, all you do now is pick up after you die.

It didn't remove the death, or the stupid need to choose, or make it where you super mutant sidekick could go into the chamber, it changed nothing of the originial except add onto it, which is not what fans of ME want with ME3, they want it removed and replaced, not added on.

I can think of a couple reasons.

• Skyrim wasn't nearly as rushed.
• Skyrim stuck to its roots (didn't sell out with a tacked on multiplayer)
• Skyrim didn't try to be "artsy"
• Elder Scrolls is fundamentally better than Mass Effect. Mass Effect 3 wasn't helped by its ending.
• Skyrim's advertising focused more on "Look how cool our game is!" rather than "Look at all the nice paid-off reviews!"

I didn't put much thought into those, but that's the gist of it.

Scifi it seems, is harder to get right(at least beyond niche specially in videogames) more so then fantasy. Seems most of the top writers/directors at least story wise are less inconsistent.

Also with fantasy, you dont have to worry about a writer constantly going from high fantasy to low fantasy. Where as with scifi you always have to hope that the writers dont treat the setting like it is skitzo not knowing what kind of scifi it is(however this normally happens).

FO:3's ending wasn't nearly as messed up as ME3's. It had only one glaring contrivance: the fact that the PC had to die to beat the game. BS removed that one major flaw of the ending.

FO:NV was more unplayable than even the ps3 version of Skyrim. it stunk

[Meltemph]

YA, FOV did come out a buggy mess... After enough patches though, it was pretty good.

it took 1 year, 50 mega bites of patches, and cutting the price to 20$ for it to be worth buying

Yeah, the bugs were terrible last year, but I've starting playing it again recently, and it's A LOT smoother now.  Add in all the amazing dlc's and it's a great game.

Depends on what you are looking for.

Skyrim bored me to tears, but then so do most Bethesda games.  Bethesda does a great job of creating an interesting game enviroment, but the characters that populate it are completely lifeless.

IMO, ME3 > Skyrim

I never finished Oblivion.
I never finished Skyrim.

I now have 17 Shepards with multiple complete playthroughs.
I don't care about other peoples gaming habits. Bioware is still my first love for RPG's.

If Bethesda made some changes.... maybe I would like their games better.
