Delux pre-ordered and fully payed for. Untill BioWare starts releasing a chain of games that are disappointing and that I also don't play much is when I'll stop.
There's been a total of 3 games that I've been 'disappointed' in. Basically, NWN - single player campaign I was upset with, just odd pacing, story was kinda lackluster (in its presentation).... and I played that game for 10 years-ish. The Multiplayer and modules, just the vast amount of community content that they had fostered with that game makes it one of the best they've ever done.
Dragon Age 2 was kind of a disappointment for a multitude of reasons but I still hold for every 2 things it did something weird or awful, it did 1 thing really, really right that advanced the Dragon Age game as a whole. Just all those little bad things that ultimately mired the game. And you know what? I still played through that thing a buncha times and for a game made in a year it was surprisingly long and had plenty of content (all be it, not via new location or maps LOL).
Mass Effect 3 ending, blah blah whine, not what they promised blah blah - all that yeah. It just wasn't what was advertised, theres even a trailer show casing a choice you get to make and the outcomes and when you play the game you get 0 choice and the outcomes always the same. So that's... yeah. Played through the game twice though (with over a year apart between the 2 play throughs mind you). Did a buncha half-play thoughs after that year break with some of the DLC. But man, that multiplayer again, played that for soo long.
Fun thing about ME3 actually, that MP made playing Single player harder haha. I just got so used to having all these more amazing abilities and getting to play a Krogan and giving out headbutts like some kinda massive armored Oprah. That I 'tried' to play the single player few times during that year of just non-stop MP.. and I couldn't do it, just felt so much deader compared to the MP. It took an extended break from the MP and a lack of other games before I actually started up a full playthrough (with citadel DLC).
Anyway point is, even when BioWare is disappointing - it's still better then the 'vast' majority of **** and I'd rather pay full price and play through BioWare's missteps then play half the games that get released each year. Though this time I'm hoping we get a massive, great complex single player with a better MP. Guy can dream right?
