Closed Betas wrote on Apr 3, 2012, 19:13: before pissing your money away on another EA beta scam, just remember, you might get closed beta access perhaps 2 days before the release. It says you get access to all of the beta weekends starting May 11th. |

finga wrote on Mar 21, 2012, 23:02: Well, now that we're doing this, I'll be writing George R.R. Martin asking him to change A Song of Ice and Fire so that my favorite character doesn't die. Also, I'll need HBO to go back and re-cut all the show scenes to match. And quickly, too! You realize this isn't exactly unprecedented, right? Fans were upset about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killing Sherlock Holmes enough that he brought him back and wrote about him for another twenty some years afterward.

TheBigVlad wrote on Mar 21, 2012, 16:31: I would think the point would be to entertain. Many of the choices I made during the series did alter my gameplay experience enough that I felt like they mattered, but I never expected them to make any huge impact to the overall story. I'm not sure why anyone would, honestly. Choices you made going back two games affected who was even in Mass Effect 3 to fight alongside. You may or may not have had a relationship with one or more people. That person may or may not even be alive to be in the 3rd game. You may or may not cure the genophage, save the collector base, save the galactic council, save any of 12 different people from ME2, eradicate the Rachni or not, save the Quarians or the Geth or both, and so on.
With the choices you can make throughout the game there's no reason NOT to believe that they would have some impact on the ending. They even said they would, and they don't. |

InBlack wrote on Mar 19, 2012, 11:54: If by press you mean the huge public/nerdrage/forum outcry then yes you are right. If on the other hand you mean the gaming press in general then its more like "Brilliant!" "Fantastic!" "Amazing!" and all those other cocksucking superlatives, combined with 9/10 scores and only a passing mention of a 'slightly dissapointing' ending with a huge fat recomendation to buy the game if you even remotely liked the first two. I thought it was funny that different parts of the gaming press who had deals with Bioware at some point to either create artwork or had a member inserted into the game (yeah you, IGN) were the very first to jump to its defense and how it was "their ending" and that gamers just didn't get it. |

HorrorScope wrote on Mar 17, 2012, 12:26: I like many here probably have to overlook several pc's, family, friends, business. When I see a bad running pc, then I see MSE, I can almost always guarantee I've immediately spotted the problem. That program wants to lock and hog resources like no other. And more people are using it? To me that will just make more disgruntled users perhaps looking at Mac next time. Win 7 was a great step forward, MSE will easily take it all back. Running it on multiple systems and not once have I seen anything even remotely like what you're describing here. Do you work for Symantec or something? It's the only antivirus software I've ever used that's completely transparent and doesn't do what you're describing.
I work on a hundred or more systems a week and I've never even heard anyone complain about it before. Literally the only problem I've ever even dealt with regarding MSE is on a couple of systems where it wouldn't install.

DrEvil wrote on Mar 15, 2012, 16:25: Ask everyone who ordered Skyrim for the PC if they got their release-date delivery. Nope. I buy games on release day on a pretty regular basis and I've had exactly 1 game in the last few years not come on release day (the one that missed was 1 day off, because of Fed Ex).
People seem to be missing the Diablo 3 has online features that work in single player as well, it's not like this is strictly a DRM scheme. Not that it matters, people will bitch and moan and then be posting three days after it comes out how they grudgingly bought it anyway. |

Creston wrote on Mar 14, 2012, 11:29: I wish instead of pretending they have 16 endings (when they have 2 with 3 different colors), they would have just gone with the Synthesis ending and expanded on it. (AND LEFT SHEPARD ALIVE!) Synthesis seems like the worst ending of all of them to me. The Reapers are synthesized life; organics combined into synthetics meant to uphold the cycle. The kid tells you he needs a new solution, so the last thing I'd want to do is a choice that basically combines all life and synthetics into what's basically just a new kind of Reaper.
That's if the entire Synthetics vs. Organics reasoning behind the Reaper motivations worked at all, which it doesn't. The Geth and Quarians can find peace. EDI is another good example.
The kicker for me is that the explosion of the relay destroys the Normandy (or would have if he wasn't running). All those ships I convinced to come to Earth? The Quarian ships, that included retrofitted civilian ships, everyone on the citadel, entire fleets full of people...dead regardless of which choice is made. I think Shepard wipes out more people across the galaxy in the end scene than the Reapers did. Unless the point is that the Reapers win, which is the only way I can take the idiotic ending of the game.
Creston wrote on Mar 14, 2012, 12:09: I made a new ending for myself. When the space troll kid tells you to make a choice, I put 40 bullets in his fucking face, then I walked away and quit the game.
I thought this was funny, because that was actually my reaction to the ending scenes. I tried to shoot the kid, because the choices didn't make sense; he's the leader of the Reapers, after all. That failed, so I tried to walk away, which of course doesn't work either.
So now, I just tell myself that none of it happened. I love the rest of the game, but the ending may well be one of the worst I've ever seen. |

Ruffiana wrote on Mar 13, 2012, 14:05: Multiplayer is not necessary. Despite what they say there, it's extremely unlikely that anyone will have enough to get the best possible ending without at least some multiplayer. There's examples of why everywhere if you want to read up on the military score requirements and what's actually attainable in the game.
Bhruic wrote on Mar 13, 2012, 13:14: Speaking of idiotic decisions... Just read that even if you do play ME3 MP to increase the readiness percentage, the readiness actually decreases every day that you don't play. Reports seem to be in the 2-5% loss per day range.
But don't worry, MP and SP are totally separate! It degrades about 5% every 24 hours from what I've seen. 100% isn't really necessary to get the best ending, but if you want to maintain that percentage that's probably going to be 45 minutes to an hour every day just as maintenance...kind of nuts. |

Squirmer wrote on Mar 11, 2012, 19:42: Not sure if you're being serious here. You do know the collector's edition costs more money, right? So no, it's not included 'for free'. It's included when you pay more money. So they provided something with actual value to the collector's edition and gave standard edition buyers a way to get the same content if they chose later.
Still not getting the problem there. |

entr0py wrote on Mar 9, 2012, 16:59: Exactly right. In fact Sony has already tried this with the PSP Go, which was a miserable failure. It's not really the same situation considering 90% of the Go's library was on UMD at the time released, meaning it had tons of games available for it and lacked the hardware to play them. It's a bit of a gross oversimplification to say the Go failed because it didn't have a UMD drive. |

| I've been really looking forward to this game a lot, but it doesn't really come as any surprise that it's delayed. I'm actually surprised it isn't delayed a bit further considering the lack of press it's had coming so close to a release date. |

Yosemite Sam wrote on Feb 10, 2012, 19:46: Lots of Devs release highly polished, bug free games. It's ludicrous to defend a not ready for prime time buggy release by using other buggy games as an example, they are ALL unacceptable. But...who? I could name the most bug free games I've played in the last year and I'm sure someone else could post about a problem they had with it.
The point I was refuting was that "these things are acceptable now" anyway; it's always been this way. It probably always will be. Bug free games don't exist; most likely even the most polished game you bought in the last five years had a patch. |

This should be emailed to everyone on their list, not left up to gaming sites to report on it.
At this point, Sony is looking more forthcoming on information. At least when they screwed up they offered people a free game. They told everyone more or less as soon as it happened. And I don't know about everyone else, but I DID get an email with all the information when it happened. It wouldn't surprise me if this got sent out, too.

If I remember right, Gabe specifically said in his message notifying users, "I apologize and am extremely sorry this happened." |

Yosemite Sam wrote on Feb 10, 2012, 18:42: Like I said, this is considered normal and acceptable now. Funny how people jump to defend developers releasing buggy games. Yet I'm the bad guy because I expect to not have pay $60 to finish beta testing for them, something they used to have to pay people to do. When have PC games ever been bug free releases? Daggerfall came out in what, 97? It had bugs in it like crazy, but it was still awesome. I remember it not even starting on my brother's system because he had a non-Intel processor.
Ultima VII had serious sound issues. Ultima IX they actually sent out new CD's to people who bought it because of game breaking bugs. The early games in the Jedi Knight series had a few serious bugs that I remember dealing with, and Jedi Academy had at least one game breaking bug. I could go on and on, but... this isn't a new issue.
Besides, Skyrim was playable out of the box just fine. There were issues that some people ran into, just like with other games, but it's not like they shipped a broken game and then got GOTY awards for it.
