hi bioware,

 

please don't make ME:A a game divided in episodes, nobody likes to wait months or years after starting the game to have the complete content/experience.

Why not? It's done great for Half Life.

I don't think it'd even work for a game as huge as they're claiming it to be. But yes, that'd be a horrible move.

This isn't the style of game for episodic releases.

I wouldn't mind BioWare taking a stab at an episodic game, but Mass Effect is ill-suited for that sort of thing.

You mean like TellTale games? What made you think MEA will be like that (or that Bioware were thinking of it)? I certainly agree that it wouldn't work at all for MEA, I'm just curious as to why it's an issue given Bioware haven't really done this kind of thing before.

I just don't see how that business model works. A flop in your first episode release and you might very well be SOL, because your investment costs can easily outweigh the actual profit from selling an episode. I'm actually really curious as to what the Telltale business model looks like on paper.

Who suggested ME:A was going to be episodic?

More than likely it will follow the usual path of main game released then a few DLC releases later which I tend to look at as an encore performance any way.

 

And yeah with shoddy release schedule for TT games, I'm over episodic releases. From now on I'll wait until the whole thing is available and on sale before jumping in.
