Mass Effect 3 backlash: why gamers should be ashamed

So, Mass Effect 3 has been in shops for mere hours now (if you live in the UK, anyway) and that’s been more than enough time for a small but very loud portion of the gaming community to launch a backlash against it – just check out the metacritic user score of (currently) 3.2. Making a stand is great when there’s something worth standing against – and the internet’s fearsomely good at letting a voice reach the masses – but the reasons behind the ME3 fan backlash shame us all. If you want games to be taken seriously and seen as mature then an equally vocal stand should be made against what’s happening with Mass Effect 3.

This happen in

FFXIII, Dragon Age 2,Comand Conquer 4,Gears 2... internet is camp for trolls and haters, So,Move along, nothing new to see here.

Sadly I have come to realize that there is a fairly sizable segment of gamers that are complete idiots.

dark-hollow5196d ago

They rip us off and are the ones who should be ashamed?

beastlysensation5196d ago

ok, ff13 and da2 totally deserve, and lets be honest, mass effect 3 is not a 2.5, but it not even an 8. A 7 is what it is. It is not a better game than the previous ones and when we talk about pc port, its atrocious.

The issue here is, you can bet those who did this will still buy the game. They will still buy the dlc. Then EA and Bioware will continue on with this business model.

The only way to make them see how serious you are, is to not buy it. Don't rent it or buy it used. You just don't buy it at all.

Anyone else also think it is funny that reviewers are saying gamers should be ashamed, yet they have no issue handing out top scores to the likes of Call of Duty!

TheHater5196d ago

How come no reviewers mentioned the game control and actual gameplay as a negative for this game? The actual gameplay is a huge letdown.

Not going to mention the DLC because I refuse to buy the game due to the hold DLC BS.

This is just pretty much the way the internet works these days. The greatest games get mashed by the public while games nobody cares about get a free pass from the bullying. It comes to no surprise that a game of the caliber of Mass Effect 3 got this treatment.

I sadly expect many great games in the future to be treated the exact same way, just as many have before it.

Reasons like this are why people have closed online networks, and why you should never let the public be in control of anything.

Rated E For Everyone

These people are a bunch of idiots.

"The first domino in the line raises some valid concerns about the nature of day one DLC. The content in question, “From Ashes,” is a pack which gives you a new squad member and a new mission. Since it’s available right now, is it possible that the content was originally to be included in the game? Maybe? Should gamers be angry about it? Again, maybe."

Pretty much didn't take the article seriously after that....

There's no such thing as a legitimate review. Just sayin'.

anast535d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine535d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast535d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman535d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast535d ago

IAMRealHooman535d ago

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
