The guy paid for his game. Let him express his mind out, when leaving the game. People feel better when they let out some steam. He hasn't attacked anyone. Remember, expressing frustration in the public forum also sends a message to the developer. At the same time it is also an indication of the person hopes that the game improves in the future. Otherwise, he wouldn't have posted.

 

A voice of reason on the forums?  I live in NY so can someone tell me if the ground is cold where it is warmer?  Did that pig just now have wings?

 

I have to agree with your sentiment in regards to this, let him complain as he was a paying customer and it is his right to voice his complaints in the one area that someone at EAWare might see it (not that they come here often).  Just as I am a paying customer who has lost all faith in Bioware, faith which was cemented in the company back when Baldur's Gate was released.  I bought this game sight unseen on the last bit of that faith I had left in Bioware and, frankly, I am done with the company.

 

Does this mean I will be leaving the game?  No, because even with its issues it is fun when it works, but I can see where a lot of people would be pissed off.  Plus its comical to see what they screw up next (yes I know I'm a horrible person).  So far I have seen:

 

A company which likely didn't test the product before release to any level beyond "Does the game load to the main menu?"  "Yes?"  "Ship it"

 

A company which has in no meaningful way communicated with those who have bought their product.  (Seems they are more interested in posting on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit then their own forums)

 

A company who does release a patch for their product in which they "fixed" issues.  (I can tell you for a fact that the fixes did not work and/or made issues worse, I'm not even going to go into the shader issue caused by "patch 2")

 

A company who lets their employees berate and threaten users with bans.  (If you want proof http://forum.bioware...se/?p=17982582)

 

So yes, if I seem irritated its because I am.  I do not plan to buy the next games unless they are dirt cheap or after I have watched the forums for a while to see what the product is actually like.

 

Cant even blame those who started Bioware as this is Bioware 2.0 aka EAWare

I am having a blast unlocking gear and characters in this game. I just unlocked all of the characters today. Now to level them up.

The multiplayer does kinda suck hard at the moment but the single player is surprisingly good, that's where i've Been spending my time until the DAMP fiasco is a little more refined.

Goodbye OP. You will be sorely missed.

Finally, MP is a free extra option that was added at the 11th hour of the game dev cycle. Unless he has dropped $50 on platinum on MP then NO, he has not paid for this aspect of the game. Lots of people ha preorders in only expecting a SP game.

I guess Bioware owes me £40 then given i have absolutely no interest in the single player and preordered this game exclusively for the MP.

Same here - only I regard the SP as a nice free extra option that was added somewhere in the dev cycle. I can really recommend it.

Ok, I just spit some water out on my keyboard.

 

What are you on about? Multiplayer was an advertised part of the game. If they hadn't included it, I and many others wouldn't have bought the game at full price. Everybody who paid for this game also paid for the multiplayer aspect.

Same here. I've barely touched SP.

[Ryumanjisen]

Seriously, you guys got this game ONLY for the multiplayer?

Don't get me wrong, everybody has his own preferences and I don't want to sound disrepectful. But, to me, the MP mode is way, way less developed than the SP. It's pretty clear to me that's it's only an addition (just like the ME3 MP mode was).
 

[Chaos17]

I uninstalled the game. At this rate, we won't get any game-changing content for MP for the next several months. I'm not waiting for that to happen.

 

MP has no progression, no rewards. It's buggy. Why should I even play?

 

F*** it. I quit.

You've many better mmorpgs out there that are ready to welcome you and that's not sarcasm.

edit, I just saw who posted this, you're trolling us right, tell me you're trolling....

Please don't start this up again, man.

Yes, there are alot of people that bought this game just for the multiplayer.

Yes, ME3MP really was that much fun.

Yes, sone people have/had zero interest in the single player campaign.

And yet people spent way more time playing MP. Hmmmmmm.......

[Xeresh]

It looks like the multiplayer idea wasn't a last minute add-on.

I enjoy both aspects of the game but like ME3 the single player will only hold my interest for a few play throughs. I'll be looking for long term enjoyment in the multiplayer, just as I did with ME3.

[veramis]

I just read the article. I think what darrah meant by multiplayer was mmorpg, while da3mp is action adventure or pure hack and slash.

[Pee Jae]

Huh. I've done 3 playthroughs of SP and working on my 4th. Spent probably a hundred hours in mp already. The fun far outweighed any problems I've had so far (barring that one incident where the DNS servers were borked and nobody could even log into the game.)

 

IMO, very much worth playing.

From the article:

 

"Skyrim changed the landscape for role-playing games completely," he said. "Now the expectations of your other fans, they're changing too. People age, they typically have less time for games, so it changes their expectations in terms of gameplay segments. It also results in some nostalgia. so they may become even more firm in their attachment to previous features. Now suddenly you have 15 million people that have basically had the first RPG they've ever played as Skyrim. They have totally different expectations of what storytelling is, what exploration is, and I think exploration is really where we've seen the biggest change."

 

I love it.

 

Dear Mr Darrah,

 

I do not know where you get these ideas from, perhaps from some kind of study or brainstorming in the office over pizza or perhaps these are self-evident truths, but I can tell you want my expectations are in the first place: Release finished product, alright? 

 

Thanks in advance.

In single player i cant murder demons with the help of my friends and loved ones. Id much rather engage my hobby with other people than sitting on my own reading dialogue that I could just watch on youtube.

It's a sad state of affair but I have to agree. Most AAA games these days are quite poor, single or multiplayer.

The majority of AAA single player only games, I just watch the cutscene movies on youtube as the gameplay itself isn't worth (or doesn't appear to be worth) the time it takes to slog through the gameplay.

Multiplayer games, no matter how poor, are made much more enjoyable when played with friends.

Love the attention? No one cares. Go play cod.

Lol god thats funny like right people seem to forget that me3mp had a funny few months. But over time just kept getting better and better.

[veramis]

Make a good game that people will actually buy and tell others to buy instead of a broken game that people warn their friends not to buy.

 

???

 

Profit!

[Cyberstrike nTo]

I don't get it. Why are people bashing a person who has a legitimate reason to be frustrated with the game. Granted it wasn't the best way to convey it, but clearly you can see he is pretty disgruntled.

 

I have had a terrible experience with MP yesterday. Almost 4/5 games I would fail to join a game. And of the games that I managed to play 1/5 would crash into the desktop without any error message (most of which was already in the 5th area). Not to mention the horrible lag and rubberbanding in-game. Tell me that that isn't frustrating?

 

 

Some of the remarks I see in this thread really disappoint me.

 

 

Is this really what gamers/customers expect from games these days? Is this the standard the new generation is setting? We already have the rampant proliferation of alpha/early access games. Now I'm seeing precedent of old-fashion financed project going into market as retail release, when it feels very much like an alpha/beta game (in DA:I, the pc version).

 

I'm on so many message boards I've honestly lost count. It's one thing to complain about a game, (or whatever else you talking about on said boards) but one of the most annoying things is a goodbye thread by a poster, especially looks a like attention seeker whining "that nobody likes them and everybody else other than them is a moron" and then come back and defend their so-called "farewell" now if the OP was a long standing community member who was a mod and/or admin and built up a great rep on the board and/or with the community as a whole was leaving for any reason and says goodbye and doesn't come back then I don't have an issue with it.  

 

If the OP doesn't like DA:I fine they're have the rights to voice their opinions, but they don't have the right to be agreed with,or not to have their voice shouted down by others who don't share opinions, or to be made fun of, etc.

At least on ME3MP they started adding new content regularly after launch. One month after DAMP launch and all we get is "DLC"s full of bugs

 

I can understand the frustration, but people need to take off their rose-tinted glasses about ME3MP. The first new content was a month after launch (2 months after beta) and took progressively longer (2, 3, and finally 4 months between DLC). The first patch took 3 months (4 months from beta), and it wasn't until 7 months later that game-breaking bugs like the Vanguard glitch were fixed. Here's a 1500+ reply thread on connection issues. Some of ME3MP's bugs might look familiar (if you'd browse the forum archive you'll see way more qq'ing/frustration venting going on, or search for "bug").

 

I kept playing ME3MP since it was fun w/ friends, the power/shooter mechanics were great, and the grind was surprisingly addicting, but at the time I was sort of gobsmacked that it took most of a year for the game to get to a point where I would've expected bugs/glitchiness to have been at release. Now I guess I've come to accept it. When DAMP bugs out, I stop playing. Haven't even bothered to play w/ the new DLC. Maybe ME3MP spoiled Bioware into believing that MP could still be successful w/ game-breaking bugs, but DAMP is nowhere near as fun as ME3MP atm (and it looks like it has a tiny fraction of the player base) so I guess we'll see how that turns out.
