Free Mass Effect 3 DLC out next week

 @Enundr You ahve summed up my thoughts in this post rather well!

 @Theconsciousss and yes im also aware of all the other issues in the game (all the  "fetch" quests that dont involve  any kind of story to them , as in none of them felt "epic" i guess you could say , and only the main missions felt remotely epic and meaningful (till that end that is) , and the going around the galaxy just quick scanning everything for stuff , again lined in with the "fetch" quests.) there were alot of moments where it didnt feel like you were exploring a galaxy , but more like you were just going from city to city kind of feel. look at ME1 for example , all the mako (i think thats what it was called anyway) exploration moments on all the planets , sure some ppl will prob say that was real tedious , but it gave feeling to the game that the galaxy was big and you were exploring it. alot of that was taken out with ME3 , some in ME2 but not entirely as much as ME3 was. it felt like in the end they just made a short game to just end the trilogy that didnt feel as rich  in how vast the galaxy is and just had you focused on getting it done quick. (really thinking thats coming down to a CoD kind of mindset as much as i hate to do any form of comparison , much less bringing that up all together , it seems theyre just trying to go for that quick  / short attention span  mind set.

 @Theconsciousss basically im just flatout avoiding EA / Bioware games at this point , cause you can generally expect the same stuff from future games (DA3 ? ;-P ) , but what i mean is im avoiding any of their games cause they didnt admit anything was wrong  and in essence said it was all our fault for not being imaginative (i believe there was something said  about the original ending leaving it out in the open for ppl to imagine what could have happened , though not entirely sure that was bioware that said it or not , if it was that fuels my dislike even further) and all the responses from bioware / EA were insults thrown at our face(s).  if you cant even admit to a mistake , yes everyone can make a mistake , were humans and were not anywhere near perfect  , then your not someone worth bothering with (im sure that sounds arrogant but meh). if they could atleast admitted their fault with that ending i could have settled and accepted the EC and only be cautious about future bioware games. but obviously that isnt the case and all we got were insults thrown at us. in all likelyhood id blame EA first cause there is no doubt in my mind they put a strict deadline on its release (aka the same reason why ALOT of EA games have that "rushed" feeling to them) , it didnt help biowares image that they tried defending it with artistic integrity when you see a message about get more dlc after the credits. that really showed it wasnt so much focused about art (save for the graphics)  , but it was more focused on getting the cash in fast. so far the only game thats hype i find viable recently is GW2 (after beta testing it i find it does live up to its hype , though some ppl not like trying something new and would rather stick to a wow formula and want EZ mode games).

 @KDogKool Its not only  bioware hate ...its more like disappointment or heartbreak, I bought an xbox 360 specifically for Mass effect, I bought dragon age origins blindly fully price simply because it said Bioware.

But between the lies the broken promises( Multple endings, DLC is not on disc, Mutiplayer does not affect single player) I have firmly put them on my sh*tlist , near the top in fact. You seem to forget that we had to beg and grovel while all the while being spat on and derided to get this EC, Bioware had no intention of making it WE HAD TO FORCE them and even then they sneak in an insult via the refusal ending which basically says"If you don"t like our ending f#ck you everyone dies and anyway they still use the catalyst next cycle."

So the hate is so very much justified

 @KDogKool theres hate for a reason , ever think of that? some of us have reason and dont follow the media or whatever blind loyal fools like to say someone does. you really dont even try to grasp that there is a reason why ppl hate a great company (or formerly great) so suddenly? ppl LOVED their games. then all of a sudden we get something with such a sloppy ending (plot holes , the 3 colors with no actual variation in the endings that were promised (and i think someone said they claimed there wouldnt be an a , b , c ending kind of thing though  i didnt particularly pay attention to)) and when complaints are made we get told that artistic integrity BS ? and none of that seems to get you to actual think anything other then   ppl who hate them are idiots ? i think that shows enough of how you actually try to take in the situation other then living in the past / blind loyalty.

 @KDogKool you do realize its not unheard of for developers to actually change the ending  / specific parts of their games right?  and they acknowledged our criticism with that artisitic integrity crap.  and theyve only kept all of the stuff so far free to keep some fans from leaving / try to ensure future income. i loved KOTOR , i liked TOR , was sad in some ways it came out , the rest i liked , i liked DA2 even though it had the recycled areas , never even complained about that , though i was aware of it. after this though? no. and never played BG so...

 @Enundr they never lost my love...KOTOR is still my favorite game of all time. Havent finished all of Baldurs Gate but I really like it. Loved the entire Mass Effect series, I thought the ending was dissatisfactory, but I moved on. Then the EC came out and I really liked it. I even thought SWTOR was pretty good, just not worth paying a subscription fee. Need to get around to playing Dragon Age.Thing is, as much as I'd love to see some single player DLC (eg Leviathan), I'm not gonna complain for free DLC for a decent multiplayer mode. You don't see a lot of free map packs these days, and the fact that they even acknowledged the criticism they got on the ME3 ending and made the EC shows that they actually care, which most developers wouldn't even have done.I'm tired of all the BioWare hate. They're still my favorite developer.

 @NeilCardiff the sad part is , thats their attempt at assaulting used game sales. did you read the article on the guy from EA saying future EA games are all going to be digital? lol at EA. i hope the burn to the ground like they deserve  , for ruining more games then i care to count just for the sake of making money nonstop.

 @musalala BioWare are irrelevant to me these days.

Woe how the mighty have fallen.

 @musalala 

The trouble is that EA and other want all games online so that means multiplayer.

If you didn't get the message then look, there hasn't been a  reviewer that hasn't sucked up and downvoted any game that doesn't offer online for years.
