What inflated prices? If anything games these days are sold at lower prices than 10 years ago due to inflation.

On topic: Pre-ordered the digital CE.

as long as they don screw up the story (wich i will NEVER forgive , not even kidding here) im a happy camper

DONT F IT UP PLEASE! this is like biowares god of war, you do NOT change god of war , period.
I don't see how ME2 was on rails, there are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many variations. From ME1 there are like 100 different variations based on which story you choose. Saving council, not saving council etc.. Determines things like the races hating you.

They said they are taking like 1000+ choices into consideration from ME2 into 3 as part of the story variations.

in ME2 (SPOILER) you can literally let yourself die it will be part of the story. Or you can be a hero and save everyone without letting a single person die. Not to mention you have all the choices in the world at which characters you choose to engage with and which ones will advance.

Rails is about the last thing you can say about ME2. Unless you compare it to something like SKYRIM, which is just a completely different style.
If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

ME3 went from an automatic buy to a non-buy with ME2.

SWTOR has no bearing on it since it was made by Mythic.

DA2 was also done by a different studio (Who also helped with SWTOR funny enough).

To me, all that shows is that since Bioware joined EA, their reputation has taken a beating.

But it's mostly because EA started shovelling other development teams under the Bioware name.

Honestly, ME2 was the only game done by the real Bioware that was lack-luster to me, and that was because the story stunk. It also coincided with them drinking the EA poison.

Oh no, I do not mean that the STORY is on rails. That is certainly not the case.

The lack of exploration is really what I'm getting at. I know many people hated MAKO but it was really nice to be able to explore a planet without [many] bounds and happen across points of interest without feeling like you're being strung along.

And look at side-quest structure. Most of them were of a "move through these rooms, kill everything" nature. Some of the city hubs were even smaller and more linear than in ME1. It's also kind of boring when you realize that everything was basically set up in combat and non-combat zones.

Compound that with the fact that there was little choice in weapon and armor variety, and the game just felt so much more claustrophobic to me.

I actually experimented with all the classes and completed the game with different classes. In ME1, the only class I could tolerate was the Soldier.

I wont be buying it only because I am never playing a game from Bioware. I loved those guys but they disappointed me by lying to the community, misleading and generally pis**ng on our heads since launch.

No thanks, Im done with BW.
The crazy is strong with this one.

Sadly this is my first and last Bioware game, not because of gameplay but because of customer services. In 20 years (16 of them on-line) I have never seen such disrespectful people in my life, especially the forum moderators.

No sir, this is the last time my money goes to help their wages, it's just wrong.
