What, three+ months aren't enough time to make something better than what we got? I'm not offended by the end result, or that the illusion of choice gets stripped away. Even the bullshit the creators had been spewing before (and now after) the game's release mean little more to me than that another company loves their PR talk. These things don't thrill me, but I wouldn't have minded these things so much. I'm just annoyed that the game's higher-ups figured that having me/you/us write the ending for them was a good idea. That's... not kosher, especially when said ending rejects some of the established rules of the universe and the game throws an out-of-nowhere curveball at the (almost literal) final second. It's like watching a great running back break through the line, stiff-arm a corner, juke the safety, dash to the one yard line with no time left and the game on the line...then stop, say "fuck it," drop the ball short of the end zone and walk off the field. It makes noname sad. Of course, I doubt most purchasers ever beat the game, so it's ultimately a moot point! |
Worse for Bioware, it makes me apathetic towards the game, and therefore its upcoming DLC.I don't watch handegg, so I can't understand your anaolgy, but I'm sure it's great.
Yep, apparently they couldn't fix things with only a few months left, I don't know much about the development process of these big games but I do know that getting your game off to and back from cert is a hassle, so they probably had to hurry. I'd like to think it was just higher-ups pushing the team for time, but frankly with the caliber of their last three releases I wonder if they have any swriters of significant talent left.
Don't even get me started on what was wrong with the endings. Holy shit. They dun' goofed.
