BioWare Mines Data From Mass Effect 2

I'm surprised that there's an article about data mining in games, and no one mentions Valve.
If I read the code in the source SDK right, the source engine records every action the player makes and sends a gameplay report back to Valve later. And then there's steam...
I'm fine with it, just so long as the devs who gather this information actually use it to improve gameplay. It'd also be nice to see some of the Mass Effect information available for view.

Actually, it's not really -that- cringe worthy, as the Loyalty missions don't automatically lead to romancing the character, that actually takes quite a bit more dialogue.thefreeman0001 said:
Were that the case, it -would- be slightly...odd, that 360 games chose Grunt over Miranda. xD Not that there's anything wrong with that. ^^' Though it could point to console gamers preferring giant, warrior type characters over PC players preference for...err...umm...confident intellectual females with huge...character development?
who else chose soldier because everything else sounded F&%KING hard to understand???
I did... its just anoying because i had no idea what i wanted to do... and the soldier sounded the most easy
if this means they will make the classes easyer to understand (put initial powers or something like that at the beginning to know what you will do would be a good idea)
those are my thoughts

Yeah cause no one has ever made a custom map and got a job out of it. OH WAIT league of legends. Thanks for the laughs though.oranger said:
That surprised them? Huh...Logan Westbrook said:
Actually, that kid of explains quite a bit. Always thought surprisingly little effort was put behind relationship continuity (or whatever you wanna call it), seeing how the import feature was one of the game's biggest selling point for me. Maybe if they had had more faith in the feature, it wouldn't have turned out as watered down.
Announcement of Mass Effect 3: "We took a lot a feedback from the community, and found that almost everyone fucked Tali. For this reason, Tali will now be the main character of Mass Effect 3, and will walk around completely naked."

"Yes, that's right, under that suit there was a smoking hot blonde the entire time!"

sounds good to me, its impersonal, and gathers useful stuff for making mass effect 3 even more awesome.
However i hope it did tell them that having all powers have a global cooldown is F**cking irritating, and makes playing a biotic much, much less fun than in the first.

It's called the End User License Agreement. You acquiring the game gives them permission to do this.Arachon said:
As long as there's no personal information involved, I think this is a great idea, because it's an easier way to find out what works and what doesn't than listening to a small but vocal minority of whiners on forums or something.
I definitely contributed to that soldier demographic, since there is no problem that cannot be solved with more dakka. I tried playing as an adept, but I felt like I was just sitting around with my thumb up my ass when stuff was on cooldown.

considering how the suicide mission works I thought it was in the player's best interest to get the loyalty of everyone. Or are they just saying that Grunt and Miranda are the character's loyalty missions that the respective consoles do sooner or rather than not at all?
