We should forgive Bioware.

I thought they made some Really bad decisions with DA2, but hey, we all make mistakes. Bioware has done some very good things in the past, so it all evens out. If they continue to move in directions I'm not interested in, I'm not going to buy those games. Simple as that. It's not about hate or forgiveness, it's about what I as a consumer am interested in spending money on.
I never was angry enough at bioware to begin with... dont get me wrong I am not some blind fanboy.... ME3's ending i thought was a bit rubbish but the rest of that game was amazing... and i just kinda have it in my mind that ME3 ends when Shepard gets beamed up the special part of the citadel by the catalyst... If you think of that as the ending it is actually not too bad lol
As for DA2 I actually enjoyed the game because of the increased character development in the hawk protagonist... I liked how my character had a voice... Granted DA2 had some issues. The scenery got boring very quickly and it would have been nice to go somewhere new outside of Kirkwall. I liked getting to know a city and an area... but after the first act and a half it was not interesting anymore considering all the goons use the same hideout. Also the story was interesting but it was interesting in the way you read an autobiography... in terms of a greater story it kinda was lacking. Each act was its own story and they barely connected to each other.
And haven't played SWTOR.
All these faults in Bioware's more recent games just show they are human after all... it won't stop me from buying a new release of one of their games though I am hoping they do step their story writing up a notch in terms of endings and continuity.

Sorry but ya, the people that made those original games we BioWare, this is EA BioWare, which actually makes a large difference, that company that made great games is gone mainly because EA wants to use BioWare's old good will to shine up its image. This is all just my opinion but ya, this has happened before to more companies under EA's 'care' so I will just leave them be, if they surprise me then great if not well I can't be more disappointed then not caring.
Well that's unfortunate, I would like to have known what the original ending was supposed to be.Ed130 said:
Running Origin in Sandbox isn't so bad, once you get past the tweaking necessary to allow games to function.
Drew Karyshyn revealed some of it, it linked back to Dark Energy.008Zulu said:

Done and done.
They only moment I liked them any less was right after my first ME3 playthrough. I still don't like the writing that happened there during the last 15 minutes of the game, but they've done a nice thing with the EC (which doesn't fix the overall problem I had with the resolution of the story, but pretty much fixed the emotional connection to the game) and they generally treat their player base pretty good.
Then again, I liked DA2 and SWTOR, so I'm probably too easy to please ;-)

Huh, I've been wondering where they were going with that whole dark energy thing.Ed130 said:
Confusing as hell though; How was humanities genetic diversity (biology) supposed to solve a physics problem? Why didn't the Reapers just ask, given the stakes the odds of saying Yes were favourable. The whole "salvation through destruction" is kinda at odds with this.
There's about a hundred other question I would ask there.
We should forgive them. They make lightsabers!

Not that I really care any two ways about Bioware, but if I did, I'd still hate them because they are now EA. Everything they have done to gain ire from their fans is something EA told them to do. Until that chain is broken, Bioware will just be a zombie of the company we used to love. A money eating zombie...
Possibly because you've already set the standard. And number of times used has nothing to do with it.shrekfan246 said:
Forgive Bioware? Hell no. The ME3 ending turned me off of the entire franchise (and the EC didn't do a thing to fix my dismal opinion), and their anti-consumer attitude since Dragon Age 2 has turned me away from the rest of their junk. When I got treated like shit just because I expressed my discontent on what I bought off them, I was like "fuck this shit" and decided to never buy another Bioware game ever again.
And I need not go in the matter that their name is basically a stamp EA uses to label products so they'll sell faster. Of course, Bioware have yet to really feel the impact of their actions and dismissal of criticism. Their next game will dictate that.
