If im brutally honest im hoping with the shutdown of these forums its a indication of BioWare changing direction in there games an with the direction of the way they make games being changed they know it will cause anger with ppl who inhabit these forums so hence the shutdown.
Having playing all there games 1 after the other continuously over the years i can also say there format is getting kinda boring an very predictable, heck the only difference lately between DA an ME is the setting, each game is basically go recruit then fight an that was that, to most "same" is great to me it gets right boring knowing how things will be in a game before u even buy it.
Im honestly hoping ME:A will be a Destiny/Division type game with none of the problems, i really hope with nothing much being released about ME:A an the announcement this place being shutdown that this is the case an BioWare has finally decided to take the jump an try something new
