Not really, yor buying it, then complaining before you even buy it. If you dislike what Bioware is doing dont support them. If your going to support what they do (by buying the game) then you shouldnt complain imo. Atleast buy it pre owned if you hate them that much but still want to play it.

DA][ encounters were far more varied than DA:O.

Honestly, I just can't understand all the DA][ hate. Yeah, the game had some flaws. It also didn't have the f'in fade or deep roads. The art style had actual style and the combat was just as (if not more) deep than DA:O, but with faster animations and character movement (a damn good thing). Yeah, the writing had flaws, but you know what? So does every Bioware game....

But, anyway, the article is a blatant lie.

Someone post that "awesome button" video on YouTube. It's always relevant.

It's the one where the Dev says 'you press a button and something awesome happens. Button. awesome'. Cringe worthy. I'm on my mobile can't check.

EA's involvement is again obvious in ME3 multiplayer. EA has claimed that they want all AAA titles to have multiplayer. Bioware does not specialise in multiplayer games, Bioware has never before had multiplayer in Mass Effect, and Bioware never before expressed an interest in adding multiplayer to the Mass Effect series. Now however, suddenly multiplayer as been added to the game despite Bioware's earlier assertions. Obviously this decision was not made by Bioware, but undoubtably from their publisher who, as they have said, want to include multiplayer in every major release.

Since Electronic Arts took over Bioware, the studio has gone downhill. Rushed games, poorly thought out DLCs and aggressive attitudes towards fan criticism are the result of the great tentacles of EA spreading and infecting Bioware. (Forgive the over-the-top anology) EA themselves have made some good games, but their business practices are some of the worst in any industry. The EA Spouse blog, malware-like DRM and immature advertising are not signs of a particularly nice corporation, and this is ultimatly having a negative effect on the studio's they control.

I hadn't been keeping up to much with the ME3 news but this just ruined my day. You know they are doing it for all the wrong reasons, and that if it weren't for EA they probably would of never done multiplayer. I'll still buy ME3 in hopes of it being good but its looking like it will be the last Bioware game I buy on release.

Or rather, Bioware said one thing, EA told them to do another.

How on earth would you possibly know that? Perhaps bioware saw how well big mulitplayer titles sell and figured out a way to incorporate it into their game to make more money.

So many people claim to be saying that bioware is lying about EA, but honestly, how would any of us know that?

As said earlier in this thread EA has already said that they plan for all their AAA games to have multiplayer... so that would hint that EA was prob pushing for it, but Bioware has the say so on what they do with it (the rumor is it has co-op only right now which isnt a problem to me but well just see how it turns out).

As for EA, i truly dislike them for many reasons; they are aggressive/immature with their marketing (Dead space 2, BF3, dantes inferno), theyre methods of handling dlc and preorders take content that should of been in the game.

I'm not talking about EA's rather aggressive business practices. Bioware stated that they still have absolute control over their games, and based on the success bioware has, it would make sense for EA to leave them alone.

They dont have absolute control if theyre being pushed to have multiplayer by EA.... and EA is also the one that has a say on how dlc works so again bioware doesnt have full control. Either way though bioware is pretty much dead to me.

That's false EA has to be in control why else would Bioware release horrible games that aren't complete.

Right becuase bioware cant release bad games *rolls eyes*

Look at kingdom of amalur, it looks like a great rpg. Its published by EA.

Brink svcked we should all blame bethesda, why else would splash damage make a horrible game ? /sarcasm

Devs make horrible games, look at oblivion.

Dragon Age 2 would suggest otherwise., as does the addition of multiplayer to Mass Effect 3.
