What I don't get is how, of all the games they have made, THIS was the one where they intentionally left out story elements for post-Netflix DLC. Leaving out mid-game content like Javik is one thing, but this was very cocky.

So while the statement that the DLC was cancelled was a hoax, it seems to be that it couldn't be cancelled because it was never going to happen anyway. This is pretty sad given that they intentionally put the characters at the end of the game in a holding pattern waiting for DLC...

So much for that season pass for content included in the deluxe version..... I suspect someone suing these assholes at some point... again.

I cannot believe anyone to this day actually defended this tub of shit.

Next up? The same damn hype and shout downs from fanboys
Shills
when it comes to Dragon Age and they do the same damn thing and pull another implosion of shit.


I just can't wait until they fuckup DA this badly. Take Weekes off'a the writing team, and they've got nothing. And possibly, with him being the lead writer, they've got nothing now.

There was no season pass this time around. So perhaps someone at Mama EA saw the writing on the wall.

yeah EA games are now broken down like this

normal $60 game - pleb shit
deluxe $70-80 version - you pay $20 extra for some costumes and basic weapons that become useless after 2 hours
gold, ultimate $100-140 version - deluxe + season pass

Although battlefront 2 is now going the destiny model, where there will only be normal and deluxe, and all maps will be free but they will throw in loot boxes and the like to get stupid whales who like opening hundreds of boxes instead of playing a game to spend $500 every month.

btw I picked up the game for $15 on ps4 last week and have put in a good 30 hours, almost the end of the story. Its still a 4/10 game, but if you really loved mass effect 1-3 you may wanna give it a spin at a < $20 price. There are some truly horrendously bad moments in the game, and the quest designer seemed to have looked at world of warcraft 2007 and said "this is the pinnacle of video game design". Its just hundreds and hundreds of fedex/visit boring ass quests but its letting me binge on a few TV shows I couldn't watch with 100% attention so all good for me. The main story isn't terrible, its not great either but it is kinda cool exploring new planets and shit. Some of the planets are absolutely massive, especially Eos and the frozen planet.

Its not 100% SJW, its more like there were 5-6 writers and one of them was a raging liberal but the rest of them normal so you'll do mostly normal quests where people talk like human beings and then suddenly run into a quest where an alien lectures you on why women are superior to men and how humans are all racist and it just is a "... uh, wtf" kind of thing every now and then. Its actually kinda funny and you can totally tell different people worked on different parts of the game and no one ever tried to make anything cohesive out of it.

Rushing to finish the main story tonight so I can trade it in for $25

Haha I wonder if they are using this as a test bed to hire animators. That would be hilarious.

That is the rumor I heard, since they basically are turfing this IP. In other news, they royally fucked MP (which was already meh) with this patch in various ways. Specifically, changes to the in game unlock system make it even more inaccessible to newbs than before. Great move for an already dying server population.....

better start early on that anthem hype train, especially if Destiny 2 is just mediocre as its looking

I might buy the next DA game, but not without seven different sources telling me that it's a good game. It's the same as Destiny now, and I'm not saying that because of Destiny 2 .... err Fallout 5 ... errr Anthem.

wtf are you faggots talking about Dragon Age Inquisition was also shit, it was what warned you about ME:A potentially being shit.

How on earth can you even think about buying the next Dragon Age? Dragon Age 2 was a consolized shit quick cash in of mediocrity but it was at least playable.

There was only 1 good DA, Dragon Age Origins/Awakenings DLC

DAI was not shit, in fact it was quite popular on this forum and I only bought it because of how well received it was here.

I mean yeah just a few short months later Witcher 3 blew it right out of the water, but thats a separate issue.

DAI had some obvious growing pains, and before the release of MEA that's all we thought that they were -- growing pains. I don't wanna go down and list everything wrong with DAI, though. Just realize that MEA brought into the light just how much of shit that FB3 is for RPG games. Great for first person shooters, however.

I never really got into W3, so I guess that makes me the devil, but I recognize it as a great game and plan on playing it at some point. DAI came out at a time when there was a lack of halfway decent RPGs on the market and in the normally empty winter season, so I played the shit out of it. Its also the first game I played where the whole over the top SJW agenda pushing really stood out, so its lost some of its appeal to me over time. But it was a good game and saying otherwise is being disingenuous. It was certainly much better than DA2.

The whole MEA thing was heartbreaking because I loved the original trilogy, warts and all, and this game shat on every aspect of it. Playing it was like being an Elvis fan and going to Vegas to see fat dead on a toilet Elvis just because of nostalgia for young jailhouse rock Elvis. It was a never ending spiral of disappointment. The MP started out OK but they literally slowly strangled it to death and the latest patch has turned the PS4 MP Community into a complete wasteland. In fact, unofficial numbers show more people playing ME3 MP than MEAMP, which just about says it all. Mission accomplished, EA and SJWs, you have successfully killed Bioware. I am guessing Rock Star will be their next scalp to claim....

Unless Frostbyte wrote all the cringe worthy dialog about trannies and hired blue hair sound techs to be main character voice actors, it was not the main reason MEA sucked.

I had a blast with DAI but other people I know who have good taste in video games hated it.
