First world problems I guess... after all a game company that does not serve you breakfast in bed is a problem.
Hey pal.

This is what happened to me:

The information in my account got corrupted somehow, messing up my personal data. I contacted customer service because I wasn't able to log on.

You know what happened? I waited 12 (TWELVE!) *********** HOURS to try and get it resolved. I was bounced from department to department, always on hold, always getting people who couldn't speak English worth two *****, and always on a line with this constant "buzz" like the customer service department was housing colonies of live bees.

It was the most awful godforsaken experience I have ever had.

AND GUESS WHAT? When I finally got a manager, they told me "We are sorry sir, there is nothing we can do for you. Is there anything else I can help you with"?

What this meant for me: I lost an entire account that I had with all my characters and EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING.

No refund. No ability to cancel sub (Had to do it by calling my damn BANK).

I ended up making this account now instead. Still haven't got 1/3 of the way to where I was on my other account.

There are dozens more reasons why I hate EA. All of them earned. All of them worthy of my disgust.


Perhaps now you see why I dislike EA. I never hopped on a "hate bandwagon". No, instead of a bandwagon, I was shoved directly into a Ferrari of disgust and anger at EA.

Boom. Now you know.

If it were on steam yes I would get it, but since it's not, I'll not get it all together. I got my fill of Mass Effect with the second game. I have no desire to get the third one. It's mainly because I really loved my crew from the first game and in the second one they broke it up. I didn't like that and I'm not looking forward to losing my team again in the third one. So again if it was on steam I would get it to complete my collection, but since I would be splitting up my connection across two different programs by getting it through Origin, I'm not interested.

That's your problem, you want everyone to like you

I don't worry about affection points in dialogue, thats what companion gifts are for..... Plus Bioware's single player games decisions have a way bigger impact on the game then they do in SWTOR... Once the consequence system was removed from SWTOR it water down the impact of choices big time..

Although I guess I can't blame Bioware for that as it was the beta testers that QQ'ed about killing off their companions and then wanting them back...

But yes I'll be buying ME3, plus we get back most of are original crew from ME1

True tat, I always wait until the price drops to $19.99 then I buy it... usually its about 6 months after release which is fine since I'll be busy playing this game for awhile...

I love Mass Effect. It may be my favourite game of all actually. The story decisions work a bit better in a single player game to be honest, so I am not worried about that at all.

I already pre-ordered the CE for it months ago for 60 Euro...that's right, not 150 Euro and is a much better package than the SWTOR one in my opinion.

To be honest, there is a LOT coming out this year that I want to play. ME3, Kingdoms of Amalur (just out now), D3, GW2 and more. Still not wanting to stop playing SWTOR though, but I do hope that BW will continue with a steady stream of fixes and content updates because that will be necessary I think.

ME3 is not a MMO. So why would you care about buying at launch or not?

Probably not,I tend to get bored of single player RPGs after about 20hrs and rarely finish them,probably why I've found myself getting bored of this game already.
