@archer9234 but were you going to get ME3 for wii U anyway?? Prior to the knowledge of the trilogy set. Cause i dont see how the trilogy release would discourage you from getting 3 on Wii U. you could have bought the games at anytime for PC


Because seeing the trilogy for the same price on a other consoles shows me that it's a stupid a** deal and that I am seriously getting screwed wich will result in me putting my money elsewhere.

So seeing the price for ME3 by itself for PS360/PC for half of what the Wii U version cost doesnt tell you its a stupid a** deal in the first place?? Not saying i disagree with you.

And for multiple console owners (like me) who never bought a ME game because of lack of money/time/or interest at the time will deffinetly buy the trilogy. I have a PS3, never bought ME2 or ME3 because I had other things to play at the time and wasn't particulary interested. Now that I heard all the hype for these games it started to attract my attention. ME3 on Wii U is aimed at ppl new to the series and I was slightly interested in buying it despite the fact that you had to play previous games to enjoy it because my way of thinking was that If I had to play 1 of these games, might aswell play the latest port on the Wii U and finaly know what all the fuss will be about for when they launch new ME games because if I bought ME2 I wouldn't be able to fully enjoy it also anyways cause I would'nt have played the first 1. But now, despite the Wii U version being aimed at new ppl to the series, they launch a trilogy that is ALSO aimed at new ppl to the series like me.

But you wouldnt have been able to enjoy ME3 as much without playing the prior games anyway, so im not seeing how that is all that different from ME2.

Now, I'm not the only one in my situation, I'm certainly not the only multiplatform owner guy who is going to buy a Wii U and never played a ME game. So tell me, the other ppl like me, what are they going to do? Buy ME3 for 60$ while seeing right next to it on the shelves a trilogy for the same exact price reminded you just how much you are getting ripped off? Or buy the trilogy? Me, I know I'm getting neither cause that d1ck move from EA angered me and I already did'nt like them so I'll pass on giving them any of my moner for now.

If you are or were ever interested in it, buy the trilogy. I dont really get what the issue is, with you or someone in your boat, its not like you are not able to play these games, but you are choosing not to. What difference does it make WHAT system you play it on as long as you can play it, thats just me. Unless you are really hard up to give Ninty your money and not SOny or MS, which in that case you can simply not buy anything. Its not a hard decision. Yes it was a dick move, but for who? Its not like everyone is getting screwed, yes its messed up what they are doing for the Wii U versions, but me personally Im not going to miss out on good games i want to play because of that.

And even for ppl who are not multiplat, let me ask you something. You are in a restaurant, among all the things you can order, you can get a hamburger nothing else included for 10$. Now you know this is overpriced and that other restaurants sell the SAME hamburger for the same price BUT with lots of fries, a big drink and a salad included. What would you do? What would any ordinary ppl in that situation do? Order that hamburger knowing that you are getting screwed and that it's not a good value? Or simply say ''F*ck it, that thing is deffinetly not worth 10$, imma buy a pizza instead''? Your question is the same as asking ''Why would a hamburger/fries/drink/salad combo for 10$ offered in other restaurants would discourage you from getting the 10$ hamburger from the restaurant you are currently in?'' I don't see what is so hard to understand, and if you still cant get it, then you are clearly closing your ears to hear only what you wanna hear and dismissing everything else to convince yourself that you are right.

Personally? I would just buy the damn hamburger if I WANTED that badly. If I have no choice and I cant get to another restaurant and I wanted a hamburger, not pizza. Luckily for me I rarely have to make that decision. I have a quiry, considering that the Wii U isnt even out yet would most of the people that are mad at this be Wii only owners?? Wouldnt most of those owners said screw it and bought what ever system they needed to in order to play ME games if they really wanted too? Or is this more of a "its the principal" thing.

FYI im not on EA's side on this, I'm just not going to make a stink about it, considering it doesnt effect me and I'm sure it doesnt effect most ME fans.
