Has anyone seen this? Posted four days ago.

It's kind of depressing, honestly. It's obvious the ME 3 story section is far worse than the DA III section.


a lot of truth in that. People just need to get a life - and some perspective.

Don't worry, Ninja Stan is somewhere. He has a life too, after all. I don't envy the mods and their hard work. They must have headaches from all these conversations.


I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he jumped the boat with this board and salvaged in the MP or DA forums. This board is like the slogan for The Dark Knight:

"Welcome to a World Without Rules"

I don't have to twist it.  It is a biased source with an agenda against me.


You think you're far more important than you think you are, buddy.

And oi! Thanks for the PM, I really liked it. :)

Yeah, there's a reason why I hardly ever post in the ME and DA boards anymore, I just stick to Off Topic now. And while not necessarily a shining beacon itself, it's much, MUCH better behaved than these sections of BSN usually have been. This place ain't like it used to be. All this negativity just isn't healthy for a person.


Off-topic rules.

I think all of the posts in this thread pretty much accurately describes exactly what Gaider is blogging about.

]I know Jade, and I obviously wasn't talking about them. Because as much as I don't like ME3, the modellers, sounds designers, animators did a good job. And if you look around, nobody's blaming them.

I'm only questioning those few people's actions, as you mentioned.


Yes, but too often people just generalize and say "BioWare did this, BioWare did that."

People really need to stop that. Because it's only the 2% of BioWare doing wrong.
.

Agreed. I actually feel sorry for them, in that matter. The best that 98% can do is to not take the hate upon themselves.

Now when you follow me around a thread and harass me you are being a troll.


Sorry to burst your bubble little boy, but you're the one harassing. :wizard:


Go to hell

Which is exactly where most of your credibility just went. Image IPB


Yet the "little boy" comment was justified?  Typical of you and your ilk to ignore that part.  You can go to hell as well for that.

Nice sentiment, but in the end you will be be one with all the reports for harassment and vulgar language.


Think again since your agenda against me has become transparent.

Excuse me? You're beginning to sound a bit paranoid.

also....

they may consider it toxic because of a matter of standards.

what I mean by that is, Bioware has never been used to this overwhelming wave of criticism...remember the times if kotor? ME1/2? DAO? they knew the fans would point out the faults of the games but they would still be overall more than satisfied.....but not this time

indeed does anyone remember what the VERY FIRST line of defense was?

come on....who remembers? because that is very telling


Lol, exactly my point!

And its not like Bioware hasn't released dlc for free:  Retaliation, Rebellion, Earth, and Resurgence.


That's because of micro-transactions.




And yet I have not been forced to pay.  btw, how is paying for something that is random wrong?  The rarity of the good weapons and characters means it wouldn't work as a pay to win system.



I think hes saying that if they did not have the micro transaction system in place your looking at 10 bucks a pop for those expansions. They didnt give those free out of the kindness of there heart, they make more money with MT, look at Team Fortress 2.


If that is true then I am all for microtransactions.  It doesn't hamper my experience by benefiting those with cash too much while at the same time allowing new content to be released for free.  But what is wrong with Bioware making money off of this?  They are a business, they make games to make money.  If they aren't making any money on the endeavor, I full expect them to stop supporting it.


Nothing is wrong with making money, its their job. But I just dont like how some people think the free MP DLC is proof Bioware really cares about the customer and wants to do them a solid. They dont, they just know that people with expendable income, will, well, expend it.:D

Oh it's obvious.  There is a deliberate movement against me in this thread without even looking at the facts.  This just proves how right I am about the state of this place.

Well that is more direct than your normal passive agressive snipes at me but that doesn't change the fact that whatever you say to me has no credibility due to your already transparent biasness against me.

I'm not biased against you. I'm not biased against anyone.

If someone makes a stupid post or appears to be contradicting themselves, I will call them out on it. Even if you're on my friend's list. In fact, I have friends on my friend's list that even like the ending. Yes, believe it or not. I do because I can see past all that philosophical/political crap that the endings generate.

There have even been posts of Brovikk and Eterna5 that I have agreed with and I've even thanked them on mutliple occassions for their decency. Even though I don't agree with their overall interpretations of the ending.

So honestly, if you think that I carry some kind of pre-disposed bias against you, it's only because you frequently make stupid posts or posts I don't agree with, without ever any deceny yourself.

I believe I heard something similar to that after the destruction of some certain towers in NY.

Nothing is wrong with it. It's not them being good however just a result of their buisness model.


But the way people seem to phrase it makes it seem like having a business model that works is an inherently negative quality.  But I don't that can really be helped.

I joined the community right from the beginning when they switched off from the old bioware site, the forums were (quite) clean and polite back then and after da1 we were all praising bioware for being really AWESOME.
Then came DA2 (And before it shipped a lot of us argued about the lack of steam support, then the game came out and I really think I should have left it at the shop). After it swtor (thank god I betatested It, I didn't waste money) And me3, I think that's their fault if we're toxic.


After reading the blog post this is exactly what I thought about.

He brings up perfectly valid points.  Its impossible to find a single thread in this section of the forum that doesn't get tainted by lingering negativity.  I don't blame him for avoiding it. However, if Bioware's recent track record was better this place would be better.

There will always be immature posters who make more noise than they should, but BSN is the result of YEARS of disappointed, enthusiastic Bioware fans.  Want to make your forums a better place?  Make a better product.
