Considering the site, I wouldn't put it past them. They have a history of sensationalism.
Don't be trying to influence their artistic integrity, now.
I always went with the Shadowcat, and the occasional Mad Dog, in previous games. Kind of looking forward to how they'll stack up this time around.
I'm going to have to disagree with this. Gaming, itself, does not cause obesity nor cause people to drop dead. The act of not getting up and taking breaks does.
Just because we don't hear of people dropping dead after a reading marathon doesn't mean that it couldn't happen. The media blows gaming way out of proportion as it is. Chances are at least some of the people you see dropping from blot clots weren't gamers but sat on their asses all day anyway, doi...
and give up the chance to be right?
What is the connection between a school grading scale and gaming reviews?
If they get fixed. Bethesda is notorious for breaking stuff and then never fixing it.
It amazes me that people still take Jim seriously.
or the suckers that buy the Jeeps.
Since I know they're going to keep going down the voice acted road, then two things need to carry over from DA2. Your dialogue choices changing what you say as the story progresses and Varric. Trash everything else.
It'll also have to live up to the marketing before I hand over my dosh. Bioware used up their brand reputation on Awakening, DA2, and ME3.
Lamest article today.
If you want to start making points in defense of something, you should probably at least do the research to figure out exactly why the other side is saying what they are.
For instance "Now as for the three options presented to you at the end of the game by the Cataguffin–Destroy, Control, or Synthesis–I really don’t know what has people so upset"
Couldn't possibly be Casey Hudson saying "It’s not even ...
We gave up? When did this happen?
They've only announced the European CEs, as far as I know. They haven't announced what the others will be yet.
Sadly, I doubt that would even help. Lately, most of the horrifically bad PR has come straight from original Bioware employees. I really don't think they care anymore. It might take care of some of the corner cutting at least, though.
Bioware reps flat out lied while marketing the product. The ending was exactly what they said it would NOT be. If this had been any other medium, they would be getting hit with false advertising right now. Had Bioware not specifically stated, multiple times, that the game would not end exactly as it did, people wouldn't have the ammo they do.
The "artistic integrity" argument is a strawman built by gaming journalists that has no bearing on the actual issues with...
No, but I expected at least a sentence from the guy who the article is "by" unless you're counting copy/pasting something about tweeting the article as adding something.
ANOTHER "Artistic Values" argument? Really? We need more of these?
Gamers had every right to demand it. They were told bold faced lies by the team marketing their product. There is no getting around that fact. People can try and call it puffery, and I'll say that word doesn't meant they think it does.
The artistic vision argument is meaningless when they have done things that would get them slapped with false advertising in any other media. ...
Good work, Captain Obvious.
Also, what's the point of writing an article that's just three other articles without adding anything of your own?
If BP or BoA had gotten the poo, they would have totally turned around their practices, right?
Right?
At least EA might squirm a little in their chair over it. Maybe stop assuming that everything is exactly how you imagine it.
Yeah, the article was ok until you decided to start the insults with the ME3 part. First, it's clear you didn't even look at why people got upset about things Second, you couldn't even be assed to research what you were typing.
The contest did not yield a blonde Femshep. The redhead won. People are angry about being lied to about the ending and quite frankly those of you that continue to defend such practices are doing more to harm the industry than any amount of ...
