Honestly, while I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the ending drove enough people away from ME3 to basically drive it into the ground, I highly doubt that to be the case. There are still a good number of people playing multiplayer, buying DLC, etc. If there weren't, Bioware wouldn't be supporting it with such fervor. They would, rather, write it off as a lost cause.
Yep. They said that if Leviathan doesn't sell, they wouldn't have made Omega. However, it did sell well, so they made Omega. Clearly, there's a lot more people who like Mass Effect 3, than those who may not like it as much due to the endings or what not. Kind of stating the obvious here, but they are going to make DLC and such that most people will enjoy. No point in making a DLC that caters to a small minority, because they wouldn't make any money with it.
Indeed some people didn't get the memo. bioware doesn't have to cater to a loud angry minority. I am sure most people will play and enjoy omega.
You do realise that Omega was already 80 percent done. Half of Aria's dialogue is in the campaign to begin with as it stands. Omega is little more than content they did not have time to finish or cut from the game to sell later.
Even if DLC sales were abyssmal and not just Mediocre, which they most likely are, putting in the final touchups to this content to sell at 15 bucks apice would be somewhat worth it since it was mostly finished to begin with.
Because it was supposed to be part of the vanilla game it would account for the size (twice as big supposedly) and the release timeframe , with barely three months between it and leviathan, and even that might be because of Microsoft's schedule regarding DLC more than the time needed to finish it. Normally they announce DLC's a week before they appear, not an entire month in advance.
With AC3 coming out, Dark souls getting its first DLC, Halo 4 and several other releases around the end of oct/begining of nov. Microsoft because of their policies may have told them it was too late to book an october or early nov. release, so they just up and announced it for late nov.
Don't take Omega's existence as evidence, its flimsy at best, even DA2 had two very large pieces of DLC, and its DLC sales were abhorrent, even without a massive controversy surrounding it.
Which explains why Leviathan sold so well
Evidence?
If you're referring to priestly's post, I distinctly remember hearing the same from DA2's dirrector a month before everything was canceled and the bottom fell out.
Again, flimsy evidence is flimsy.
If you have actual numbers to show, then please do. It'll end this whole song and dance once and for all.
I will take his word over your assumption. The burden of proof is on you. Also this has nothing to do with this ending support thread. Stop hijacking it.
Retour en haut
Well... I guess this was a nice topic.
