This is an excellent (but quite long) analysis of ME3, its ending, and why it was so completely unsatisfying and sub-par.
Given that Prima Games publishes the official game strategy guide and given that Prima's own profits are directly tied to the success of Assassins Creed III, any "preview" from Prima properly should be classified as an advertisement.
Yes. Yes, it is the same. Exactly the same.
I'd have respect for a developer and/or publisher who would actually say that they're making the game easier to play in order to make it more accessible. Using the standard "corporate speak"--and then having to defend it, no less--should clue in these guys that their audience is hip to their bullshit.
Yes. Yes, it really was that bad. Ever wonder *why* you were going through that same cave for the sixteenth time?
It's because they forgot to include a small element called "a story" that would normally give you the feeling that you're progressing toward something and provide you the impetus to move through the game.
In a nutshell, you are Hawke: you kill people, you earn money, you buy stuff, you talk to people. In the meantime, Templars...
Unless Dragon Age III tells the story of another hero set during another Blight--and I know it won't--I can't really say that I give a shit when, or if, it comes out.
So. . .the same company that makes money by selling the game guides happens to gush about how terrific this game is.
Hmmm. . .no potential for bias there. . .
Principle is spelled "-le", not "-al". Stand on principle and use spell-check. Or even a dictionary.
Why does she look like a blonde Bayonetta?
Sigh.
Wait. People who honestly buy the games are being charged for on-disc DLC because the people who pirate the games will also buy the DLC?
Hunh?
A nice start would be a story that I give a shit about finishing.
Can someone please explain why anyone should care why underbelly explains anything?
Perhaps if EA spent less money marketing unfinished, craptacular games and instead spent it on studios so they could actually finish their games--koff koff Bioware--their sales might reflect that fact and people would get to keep their jobs.
Why, thank you. Much appreciated.
Yes, we should all do our part to kick sexism out of gaming.
And back into the kitchen. Where it belongs.
Like not posting comments on video game sites? : )
Here's the thing about that, in my opinion: Shepard's story ended in the first game and the writers never planned for any sequels. I'm sure that Bioware's writers have well-thumbed copies of both Campbell's "Hero With a Thousand Faces" and Vogler's "The Writer's Journey" because every single game, from KOTOR to Dragon Age, are just different versions of the hero's journey. And the hero's journey doesn't have sequels. The sequels t...
Artistic integrity. What an absolute joke. Mass Effect 3 is a commercial product, no more, no less; I don't care how Muzyka tries to spin it. The incorporation of elements like multiplayer and the marketing of day one DLC blow that contention to hell. It's also not a coincidence that they incorporated the slow-motion game mechanic from COD: MW.
Now it seems that they either desperately dredged up a concept from a forgettable Codex entry or stole the idea outright ...
I think I just answered my own question. I bet that once a game is registered, the icon appears under the registrant's avatar on all of his/her posts, including previous ones, so it's probable that this poster really did post that comment two years ago.
Wow. What a pathetic attempt at a save. IDonQuixote is right: they probably got stuck at the end of their development cycle with no time or money and, out of desperation, started combing through the codices of the pr...
Question: if this BSN post is over two years old, why is there a Mass Effect 3 icon under the poster's avatar? That icon appears only if you've registered your copy of the game and that would have been impossible to do before March 6th of this year, let alone two years ago.
From the article,
"IO and Square-Enix think that people will like this game if they believe it’s about sexy women that you can murder."
From me,
"Piss off and get your head out of your arse."
