What was really awesome is living on the East Coast and getting the game at midnight and going home and finding your game wouldn't unlock until midnight PST.
This, I was pissed at myself for actually picking it up at midnight thinking it'd be playable on march 8th in my time zone with a legal retail copy.
Personally I lost most of my respect for Bioware after ME2 was hyped to be this "DARK SECOND CHAPTER!" of the ME Trilogy, and it ended up being playing therapist to your companions for 95% of the game, cue end oversized human terminator end boss fight. ME2 was about as "epic and dark" as a normal run of the mill action game, in other words, it wasn't.
All the dumbing down of DA2 and the dev lies "it won't feel like a console port on pc" Which it does, with dx11 features half assedly tacked on.
They seem to be molding into the EA Collective quite well since selling out. Awakening? Half assed and rushed, DA2? Half assed and rushed. Most EA games? Half assed and rushed. Notice a trend there?
