"That's why ME2 is until now the most successful game for Bioware," Nah. Not quite. ME2 and DA1 are pretty much in the same rang for sales.

Miranda is confirmed back! Doesn't sound like she's a aprty member which sucks though. I hope she she can be an ally, though. And, we need to havea close up of her azz. Just sayin'!

"It's just a sad sign of the times that hype sells games better than demos do." Sign of the times? This has always been true. Hype has always trumped demos. Always.

"Within the confines of DA2, perhaps (though a lot of the major ones seemed forced on you). But strictly in terms of decisions carrying over to DA3, did the player have any major choice that can affect DA3 that wasn't forced on them?" That wouldd epend on the story, setting, plot, and focus of DA3 right? If you play Hawke again, there would be A LOT of choices that would matter in the game including what companions are still alive, are ystill your allies, and how they feel about you. If the game is set in he same city, how you chose to handle the end game would matter. Whether youd ecided to wipe out all the mages would matter. But, of course, if the game is set in a different part of the world with a whoel new main character than of course your decisions will matter less. "In DA2, the majority of the quests and plotlines have exactly the same outcome, no matter what you try (and fail) to do." No. This is plainly false. The end of ch2 for exmaple has so many different variations it's ridiculous. Youtr exmaples are ridiclous. The first two aren't evenq uestions and are story points. You can ulktimiately get the Quanri to leave. You don't neccessarily fail. You'probably' don't anything. You can get the relic and jkeep the companion. Gues what/ C&C exists for a reason so yeah sometimes you ahve to choose. I didn't fail to save Merril. By the end of the game, she most certainly learned her lesson and even purpsoefully broke the mirror. The vast majority of mages are not blood mages and the vast majority of them are not aggresive towards you. You don't fail to keep the peace. The epace was always doomed. Peace is never possible between the slaver and the slave if the slave has a way to fight for freedom. Really, what game did you play? Also.. quests that you succeed at... Seriously, what game did you play?

"The story of DA2 is so rigid that DA3 won't have a save game importer - because none of your choices will matter." Dunno about the save game importer, but lots of chocies in DA2 mattered. A lot more than certain other games.

"bioware statements is less dependable than they once was." fLAT OUT LIE.

The lack fo BIO not selling 8mil copies has nothing to do with them 'sucking' at action games (I'd take JE and ME over the vast majority of full blown action games any day of the week); but has to do with BIO's rep as a very popular in a very niche RPG market. Nor, do they need to do. EA didn't pay a billion dolalrs for them because they thoguht BIo was a 'failure'. LMAO

And, people feared that BIO would be no more after a couiple of eyars udner EA.. yet, EA seems to be giving them a bigger push. Then again, when you spend a billion dollars on soemthing you don' t just c rap all over it. R00fles!

Seems a tad silly and a waste for eosurces to add MP to part 3 and final part of the Shepard trilogy. Just add MP to the nert ME universe game. Heck, they should make a NWN style ME game. R00fles!

Knew that. i completed my set. I have all the M&Ms now even though I doubt I'll have time or the drive to play them all. But,s oemtiems, dealsa re too good to pass up. L0LZ

"Or, for the first time I'm actually considering perhaps simply NOT buying and waiting for a pirated version...even though in the past I've felt that's morally wrong. Ironic that their "protection" would even make me consider such an action. I'm pretty furious" Not ironic.m This says more about you then than them. if you don't liek their product don't buy it, but that doesn't give you the right to steal it. A patrhetic excuse for summy theivery if I ever saw one.

"I very much doubt Bio will be announcing any new games, at least. With SWTOR and ME3 on the way, I'd say e3 2012 is the first we'll hear of anything new. Possibly an expansion for DA2, but I suspect if there were any such plans, they've been postponed and that team put to work on Legacy, as well. " The BIo you are referring to - EDMONTON- is NOT working on the MMO. BIO EDM is only working on ME3 which is less than a year from release. DA3 is pretty much already being developed as certain people have 'spoiled' it. BIO EDM has hundreds of people so no doubt that they cna handle more than 2 projects.

People are really defending this piece of crap? REALLY? Wow.

I like how the soc alled 'edgy' people hate blondes so much that they want them to die. R00fles! Talk about bigotry. She's probably a red head whose jealous tyhat 'blondes have more fun'. L0LLIGAGZ!

"Yeah and that obviously means the problem doesn't exist." Why should I care about supposed 'bugs' that don't effect me? I shouldn't, that's what.

WH > U

I like how some people prefer to be defenseless victims no matter the scenario and wouldn't mind at all if only criminals had access to weaponry. L0LZ

People who blame real life violence of games (or movies and tv shows and books) are ignorant freaks who must have missed the thousands of years that humans were perpetrating violence ebefore any of those existed. Violent entertainment does NOTY make one violent. That's bull. And, if you disagree, I'LL KICK YOUR BUTT THE SAME WAY SHEPARD DOES THAT REPORTER IN ME1!! SO TAKE THAT!!!

What's the connection you trying to make, Mariah, that everybody whoc alims to be non bigoted is actually bigoted so the easiest way to prove one's not a big is to claim they are a bigot? Does. not. compute. It's really a childish way to look at things. ie. 'you smelled it you don't it' or 'you deny it therefore it must be true' or 'why protest too much'. L A M E

"What you are suffering from is called Stockholm Syndrome. I really encourage you to seek out therapy." You are ignorant as per usual. You dont' even know what stockhome syndrom is. SS can only occur mongst prisoners/kidnapped freaks.. I cna leave Codex whenever I want and therefore cannot be victim to SS. Are you that dense?

"I thought the rest of what you wrote was great and insightful, but I call bullocks on this. "I'm not really a racist, I just play one on the internet" is a pretty sad explanation. " You really take that nonsense seriously? The number of real racists on the Codex is probably limited to one hand. Seriously, don'tt ake it so seriously. It's not Stormfront.

You obviously don't know what a troll is... which is funny since your post is a fine example of trolling. R00fles!

Poltergiest 2. A nice follow up but not as awesome as part 1. 8/10

"Who the HELL said it was in my head numbskull? You're the one pushing that I'm saying they WILL be when I said it was a possibility. JESUS can you READ? " You 9and whoever else) were spamming about how the FCC was going to punish them by removing them from tv in Amerika.. well, guess what? Fox isn't going anywhere anytime soon. So, stop pretending like that's some sort of feasible possibility.

Yes, it would be 'willy nilly'. I think a major fine and jail time for those directly involved would be enough punishment. Again, FOX isn't going off the air so get that nonsense out of your head.
