- To be perfectly honest and blunt, BioWare deserves absolutely none of the praise they've been getting nor do they deserve any type of respect. It's laughable when the Bio-Praise comes pouring in: "Oh this is the best game ever! It's so perfect"... No, it isn't. It's by far the most horrendous excuse for an 'RPG'.
There are so many problems and flaws FROM THE START of the game, that I can't see how anyone in their right mind would think this was a good game. Starting with the character-customisation, which was left completely untouched with no additional features nor improvements of any kind despite the fan feedback about how lackluster and downright terrible the system was. BioWare ignores that in favour of cashing in on the Call of Duty franchise by releasing a space sequel.
Since the character-customisation system is so flawed (lack of options, lightning, angle, etc.) more often than not there is something wrong with the custom Shepard [not to mention, ALL male custom Shepards look like **** - I dare anyone to show a picture of a good male Shepard]. So every-time I want to retry my hand at making a custom Shepard, I have the pleasure of being UNABLE TO SKIP THE LONG, OVER-EXTENDED CUTSCENE, continuing forward to an obnoxious, unnecessary game-play scenario that just leaves me with ANOTHER cutscene that I can't skip.
That's just the character-customisation and first minutes of starting a new game, you can only imagine the gaping flaws that extend throughout the entirety of the game itself.
That being said, I can only Laugh Out Loud at anyone who thinks BioWare has proved themselves anything other than flat-out lazy, shoddy, second-rate, and ******-poor developers who BRIBE REVIEWERS to give them good scores.
Oh, you actually thought North American video game reviewers were legitimate and weren't 100% influenced with money/bias? I can only imagine how many times you've been ripped off by late-night infomercials then.
BioWare proves once again that they could care less about the player but only care about the Mass Profit$ to line their already-fattened bank accounts. They make me sick.
What's worse is that YOU, the fans, the customers, don't give PROPER criticism but would rather tell BioWare "Thank You" for basically putting on the Cruise Control and picking up the Cheeto's rather than doing work and y'know, making a good sequel. All you're doing is encouraging BioWare to keep up the mediocrity.
sorry, I really don't enjoy mass effect, thanks for informing me. I was completely unaware I had really been hating the game I have been playing for a total of ~40 hours since two weeks ago.
(causing my productivity to tank, with average video gaming jumping from ~8 hours per week to ~20
)
In all seriousness, I've posted several threads on stuff they did wrong, and on topics that remain objective about critiscism rather then bioware bash, I've also posted several suggestions. Remember, its only a game, not a lifestyle, Their are other games that have come out which provide a great RP experience if you think bioware sucks balls or something. Also, coming with someone who has experience in the game reporting biz, paying off reviewers doesn't happen nearly as much as you think. Capcom is a company that does it a lot, 2k is another frequently guilty party, but other publishers (like EA), tend not to at all.
If for some reason, you've officialy decided to not support bioware, their are plenty of new RPG releases that provide a classical RPG experience, though many are often ignored by mainstream coverage. Bioware isn't your last sanctum of RPG goodiness that has been lost. If your genuine in your feelings that bioware has lost their touch (I'll respect that), to the point where you are legimately going to stop buying future bioware products, you have alternatives.
See Age of Decadence. Its literally the most complex and awesome classical RPG I've ever played, defintely better then baldurs gate, if we go by gameplay only. Plus, its made by a small indie studio. Support indie studios (yay!). The games nearly release, and so far, it is amazing.
http://www.irontowerstudio.com/.Or you can try divinity 2. Though I have a feeling you might not like that, the combat feels choppy, though it retains a good selection of loot, and the mechanics are pretty deep.
In addition, we've got some super interesting classic RPG releases like Gothic 4 (not called 4, effectively 4), and two worlds 2. Think the witcher 2 is also coming, it is a action RPG, but it has literally one of the most amazing alchemy systems to date. The basic healing potion has 7 different ways of making it, each with different effects!. And then you can MIX THEM, creating 7^7 variations for the BASIC HEALING POTION. How sweet is that?
That is, assuming your not being a troll, and are legitimately going to stop buying bioware games, and have seriously not enjoyed Mass Effect 2 at all. If you are, kindly go shoot yourself for making me type that
