Can anyone tell me what was wrong with Mass Efeect 3?

The fact that a triology containing the game released 3 days after or so.Not to mention that the triology released at 30$ while ME3 Wii U released at 60$. The game itself was fine.



We know that the Wii U has several problems, but that doesn't make EA any better of a company or change the fact that they are the worst gaming company in the world.

That said, I know the fact that they stopped putting sports games on the Wii U has hurt the console's sales to some extent. I don't think that Wii U owners would care as much about Battlefield and those types of games, but unfortunately, there are very few sports games to choose from and EA makes most of them.



To those making fun of "bugs". My Battlefield 4 rarely crashes. Though I don't play it as often as the most dedicated players do. But given the scale of the game and server infrastructure. I don't see how things couldn't go wrong.
Id like to see any company try anything remotely as ambitious and NOT have problems.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

And two days later, EA released Mass Effect collection for Ps3 and 360, which had all three Mass Effects plus DLC.


Would a Mass Effect collection on WiiU sold better? (Maybe...)

BTW Another unnamed source? Also, The graph in that article is purposely made to show Nintendo in a long, inevitable decline. They excluded the Wii's lifetime sales and compared WiiU's current lifetime sales to those of Nintendo consoles of ages past that had been on market for at least 5 years. This is poor journalism.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Maybe. Maybe not, who knows. What we're saying is, you can't expect to give WiiU fanbase Mass Effect 3 at 60 dollars and two days later give Ps3/360 owners Mass Effect collection at 45 dollars. That's admitting you don't care about WiiU owners, and you're expecting the game to fail to blame them.



Why is everyone so angry here? According to the reputation of EA here people should start cheering that there is a platform with no EA games on it.

So EA savior of the WiiU while it slowly drags down the other console to their doom?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Theres nothing wrong with Mass Effect 3. Im playing it right now, havent touched Black Flag or Wind Waker in over a month because of it.  Its a great game. It has the extended ending and intro comic. Runs better than the PS3 version. Is solid fun. Fantastic replayability. Multiplayer for those who care.

People here like to pretend that the trilogy would "somehow" have sold better on the U. But given the "Secret Developer" inside story and the sales of other 3rd partys in general EA made the logical descission not to invest in a venture that clearly wouldnt be profitable. The same people complaining here probably wouldn't even have bought it or would dimiss it as just another lazy 3rd party game as always.
