BioWare Defends Mass Effect 3 Launch-Day DLC

[WonderWillard]

What the fucking-entitlement-FUCK?

I just don't have any words. I expected a much more rational response to this well written and rational news post. Really? "Sheeple"? REALLY?

God dammit.

Fuck that. Anyone who agrees with this practice is a brainwashed sheep with no independent thought.

No independent thought? Jesus fucking shit Christ of helldamnfuck. I'd say that not even reading the post and just mindlessly going with the crowd means not having independent thought. You seem to believe it means doing research, listening to the opinions of others, and then forming your own opinion, whichever it may end up being.

You'll probably react with a knee jerk and call me a brainwashed consumerist pig for daring to write this post, because you will have failed to notice that I haven't even yet given my opinion on this Day One DLC business for ME3.

THANK you. I'm glad I'm not the only one flipping out over the people who are flipping out. I feel so bad for Bioware, that they work hard to get extra.... NOT CUT OR WITHHELD FOR FUCK'S SAKE..... content out on launch day, only to have to deal with overwhelming self-entitlement. I gladly laid down the extra cash for the CE, and even if I hadn't I probably would have paid for the DLC.

Be right back guys, making some tea.

Anyone else want one while I'm there? Maybe a sandwich?

I could put some popcorn on?

I'll take some chips if you have them.

Although I do have a sinking feeling that this thread is slowly winding down.

No chips, just crisps (yes, I'm being pedantic, but I'm allowed. I'm British).


The only thing that could possibly make this better is if Zeel had some sort of arch nemesis...

Any minute now.

Arch nemesis will enter this thread.

I swear I must look like such a badass to everyone reading this thead. Everytime you guys come at me with a new argument, I swat it away like god damn fruit flies. You guys have lost. Just admit it. ADMIT IT. THATS WHAT MAKES THIS SO HILARIOUS.

EVERY ARGUMENT I REFUTE, you guys just come up with new ones. MY STANCE has remained the same. you guys have been changing more than a god damn teenage girl.
I AM RIGHT, YOU ARE WRONG. Just admit it guys.

admit it, admit it, admit it, admit it.

This is hilarious. Every argument we present is ignored by the Supreme Overlord Zeel and he makes up new facts. As we are forced to explain to him the new "facts", actual rambling and nonsense that he claims but never supports about the same thing with slighty different words, he can then say we are making things up, and that we is right. To add an extra layer of stupidity and hilarious? Have every post filled with pedantic rage and Caps Lock obssession.

Brilliant comedy, good sir! I think you should write a sitcom. It's name? "When I forget to take my pills".

common sense is dead zeel is proof of this

 

[Radoh]

That and "Bioware is telling the truth". I'd sooner bite off my thumb than believe a word that comes out of the Bioware's PR team. Their entire job is lie to the consumer.

I'm sorry but wasn't it you who called EA and Bioware liars? The irony that the proof or facts your attempting to use against us and failing to do so, are coming from people who are in your words "lie to the consumer." This is a tad ironic no?

Because if you acknowledge the fact that they are not liars. You must also acknowledge the fact that Michael Gamble and other Bioware representatives used in this debate must be telling the truth. If that's the case then it's a fact that are telling the truth in this article addressing the Day 1 DLC.

Thikreen is a developer not the PR team. Plus his explanation makes sense. No I don't have to acknowlege anything. They are liars but not all the time. I think they are lying in this case well because; the evidence says the prothean was released in nov. They say jan. They are lying. It's really simple to put this together.

So you trust this Thrikreen is telling the truth when he says he's a developer, but not the PR team.
Now this becomes more convoluted as I need proof that he works for Bioware, since I'm wary of people online saying they are Nigerian royalty or are developers for game companies.

Well okay. I can't prove that he works at Bioware other than his profile. What he said does seem pretty reasonable and logical to me. Regardless of where he works, what he said still adds more to the discussion.

Exactly as I expected.
He's a Bioware employee because it would be convenient to your argument.
That's all this has been in the end hasn't it?
Someone speculates and posts evidence, you deny it because it isn't one hundred percent confirmed and because it is inconvenient.
But you speculate and post evidence then it must be true and everyone needs to treat it as such.

So you trust this Thrikreen is telling the truth when he says he's a developer, but not the PR team.
Now this becomes more convoluted as I need proof that he works for Bioware, since I'm wary of people online saying they are Nigerian royalty or are developers for game companies.

If you look at Thrikeen's input into this thread, which can be seen through his profile. Look at the context of the conversations he had with Zeel, he discredits him almost 90% of the time. Mostly unsure about these theories he came up with, the only one occasion he agreed was with a topic we all agreed on there's hints that this NPC conveys information about Sheperds mission and this anti Repear weapon their building. As well as the DLC allows him to be a Squad member.

I would love to spend more of my day on looking into what this individual has been saying, but I can't cut through the fluff that doesn't pertain to this argument fast enough to find what is relevant to Zeel's posts.
Heck, I bet I'll be way behind when I finish posting this and will have to play catch up for a solid page.
Now, what I'm hoping for is actually credible evidence to:
A. Prove he works for Bioware.
B. That what Zeel is saying is true/false.

To be attributed where it is seen fit to do so.
This whole topic is becoming very convoluted and spending the time it takes to organise through it all is one hell of a task for someone who had to be places throughout this whole thing.

 

[Llamazoid]

Well he's pretty much admitted his defeat, admitting he doesn't know if his source works with Bioware or not,that leaves him with no leg to stand on. His evidence is shoddy at best and can be interpreted to the will of both sides. Zeel's just stated the question we all were thinking at the beginning:

"IS THE CHARACTER ONLY GAINED THROUGH THE DLC? THATS THE ISSUE."

I'm going out on a limb here and say I'm basically were 99% sure the Character is only available through the DLC just like Kasumi was in ME2. Does this matter or affect the story if you don't have them? No. Will anything change in the story because of the DLC? Aside from the Squad banter and his own personal mission..No.

*Grabs a sandwich*

Oh neat, Zeel got the Six hundred sixty sixth post in the thread.
That's fun to me, anyone else think that's fun?

It is amusing, I'm willing to bet he created a profile just to rant about ME3. Not sure what he expects to achieve with it.

Why bet?
He did, I saw two of his posts and wanted to know more, and sure enough he made an account and about ninety percent of his posts were ME3 related.
The others are him bashing religion and a few miscellaneous things.

Good 'morrow to the gentlefolk of Escapist.
I've been following the escapists forums for a little over a year now, mainly for zero/extra punctuation. But lately I've started becoming more interested in reading the forums. Around 3 months (I think) a certain problem crept into the forums and it seems you guys have been unable to contain it. Now, I was on the point of warning you guys several times over the course of the last few months and even registered an account to this end. But each time I was on the verge of explaining the source of this trouble I told myself "no, lets just see how far this goes" (mostly for shits and giggles) but also to see if escapists can handle the situation where so many other forums failed. Since then I've had many a laugh and think it time to put this problem to rest.
With that I ask you to direct your attention to this blog spot and it'll all be made pretty clear I should think. Do not ask me how I came to find this particular blog spot as this would be my one and only post in this forum. I shall go back to my shadowy corner, well until this sort of thing repeats and I have to come out of my hibernation again.

In the meantime
Stay classy escapists and "don't feed the trolls".

This doesn't bother me in the slightest. (Then again I've got my CE ordered!) Anyone bothered by it really needs to get over themselves - its not a big deal!

Honestly, ME3 has developed new levels of whinging and moaning I didn't think possible from the human race! I really just don't get it!

Basically Zeel's position is:

"I reject your reality and substitute my own"

I don't know who you are, stranger.

But thank you.

Thank you so bloody much.

Bioware, It's a fucking Prothean.

Just let that sink in for a bit and realize that IT'S DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO THE PLOT!

Sure Bioware, remove all the fancy outfits and extras, but for gods sake keep the plot relevant stuff with the plot!

It's been pretty much confirmed that the prothean is in the game regardless, it's just the DLC adds him as a squad mate.

I do find it odd no one in Bioware has claimed that yet. And I would simply love that. I'm sure just releasing characters already in the game but, who don't join up with your squad as DLC squad mates would make a killing. I know I'd pay money to get some of my favorite classic squad mates back on my team.

They have a fairly strict no spoiler policy when it comes to what info they release about the game.

That's not really a spoiler. All they would have to say is that he's in the game even if you don't buy the DLC just not as a squad mate.

 

[ryo02]

no more collectors editions T_T I was going to buy it but now I have to settle for the standard edition.

why didnt they make more? alot more?.

This is the arch nemesis I was talking about!

[HEADING=1]Holy shit! This thread is fucking awesome![/HEADING]

It's like an action movie, except, you know, without the action...

 

[Tony2077]

i think its time to go probe Uranus in me2. i wonder will it say anything special

 

[anthony87]

It's quite an interesting insight into the mind of our little Zeel isn't it? I was actually starting to feel a little bad about us basically ganging up and being kinda hard on him. Now I think we should be HARDER.

Oh god I hope he talks about us in his blog!

And we don't need action! We've got spirit!
