28 days left until I completely jump ship.

Well, the funny thing is that BW was showered with buckets of cash for development. I agree that you can't please everybody but they certainly made easy targets out of themselves.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is also an example of how BW gets themselves in trouble and EA tightens the reins.

Wow...that was short lived lol. The Doctors bailed within the first few months.

Thanks for the link...interesting.

And then this one in 2010

“It is the largest R&D project EA has ever undertaken in terms of total dollars that we expect to spend bringing the title to market,”

EA wanted in on WoW's success and BW needed the cash to complete SWtOR. Win/Win for both parties.

Can't comment on that. As I just got through explaining, I've got the ME series but have been saving it for when there's nothing else that interests me. I do know that some folks had right royal hissy fits but I don't want to know the details, preferring to come to my own conclusions.

Don't worry. ME:A is still a good game, particularly now it's been fixed. Personally I find it's not quite as good as the original series but that's for everybody to decide for themselves.

My point was more with how they handled the whole situation. ME:A in spite of its shortcomings and a promise of no dlc's is still worth the money I paid for it and I'm sure I'll play it again in the future.

The reason why the game didn't do so well is because at launch there were valid reasons to complain and this turned the media on it in a bad way...more than it deserved even. So a lot of people stayed away from buying. If they'd tightened up the graphics better before release that wouldn't have happened. It's fixed now but it's too late for the general market. A shame really, it could've done a whole lot better.

As for ME3, just make sure you play through the Leviathan dlc before going to the end of the game. It gives a lot of context that really is good to know before getting to the end of the story. Not gonna say anything more cause I don't want to spoiler anything

Thanks. I always start at the beginning and go for all DLC that comes with their games. Who knows...maybe even this coming winter. We'll see.

I see it for 15£ not exactly expensive. I'm betting it'll be 10 around Christmas.

Edit: Oh and sorry but Andromeda is a bad game.

The first 3 are certainly worth a good playing.

Andromeda will be a take it as you find it deal. I found it wanting myself but it's as I said.
