honestly, the only thing holding the industry back is the industry itself, due to it trying to do everything at once, it wants to have an each way bet on the financial success/artistic merit front simultaneously despite the fact that you can only really be either one or the other, it also wants...

a bit more than five if you count the interviews, which give a small war asset boost to other war assets depending on how you answer (case in point: after the final rannoch mission, if you have both the quarian and geth fleets, and choose the deal with it answer, the alliance reluctantly...

all of it, ignoring the fact that the entire sequence is rather contrived (case in point: harbinger suddenly making a grand appearence after spending most of the game keeping the benches warm as opposed to his constant taunting in the previous game) and taking into account that some of us tend...

while that may be so, have you considered that he was fully aware of that when he made the decision to criticize the project? sometimes people go 'screw the money i'm doing what's right, no job in this industry is worth this shit'

two problems with the indoctrination theory one: involes a LOT of grasping at straws, if a conclusion results in a lot of people doing that in order to make sense of what just happened then something has gone horribly wrong along the way two: if the theory is correct, that this was...

my two cents if this was a case of them dropping the ball and doing DLC to try and fix the mess they created, then fine, i can forgive that however if it was intentionally planned to give us an ending that makes no sense in order to get people to buy DLC just to get some closure then that...

quite a few, here's some of them in no particular order * Drunk Tali, especially if you romanced her, it's as funny as it is tragic * Shepard flirting with Tali on the geth dreadnought * Garrus and Shepard shooting bottles on top of the presidium * Joker and Garrus trading jokes *...

remove the god-child nonsense completely for starters. shepard activates the crucible, which causes the reapers mass effect cores to exponentially increase their mass/felt density to the point that they impact in on themselves/implode/tear themselves apart under their own weight. shepard then...

make it less bleak for starters, if i want grimdark despair i'll either watch the news or play warhammer 40K, note that this does not mean make it all rainbows and sunshine, fistbumping and galactic alliance..FUCK YEAH!! have shepard survive by the skin of his teeth after taking down...

my 2 cents: I grow sick of this 'games are art' argument, especially seing as in recent years people have taken to the belief that 'true art is angsty' when it is not, now obviously the ending shouldn't go to the extreme of rainbows and sunshine, but it also shouldn't have gone to other...

easy answer, if you don't like their product, vote with your wallet. but don't make a song and dance about it on the internet. your point about bioware changing the product its now selling is irrelevant, because its what successful businesses do, they evolve to shifting trends, technology...

where's the 'indifferent because i'm not dumb enough to get emotionally attached to a business' option? because its stuff like that which leads to stupid asinine occurences like the 'console wars' and the 'ford vs holden' debate seriously, i honestly don't care either way whether bioware has...

thats where you're mistaken because what bioware is doing with this figurine business is similar to bandai's marketing practice, especially where 'tamashii web shop limited' is concerned, in short they frequently offer 'special edition' figures, figurines and model kits (which in some cases are...

ha! you think thats outrageous, check out the prices of gundam model kits (or gundam merch in general) then you can complain about prices being outrageous. seriously though, you're making a mountain out of a molehill, the DLC in the case of these figurines is just a slight bonus for buying...

maybe its because he was bored... i disagree, compared to usual male protagonist voices in western media which either fall into 'gruff cookie monster made flesh who seriously needs a dozen lozenges' and 'over the top all american hero who swears and talks loudly alot "oo-rah!"', i've found...
