Well, if you want to see what it is, I'll DM you it, I can't get spoiler tags to work.

I'm not even buying ME3. Day 1 DLC is a travesty, paid DLC in general is almost as bad, but forcing the use of Origin is completely crapping on their loyal playerbase at a level normally reserved for Sony or Ubisoft.

So, Yarr yarr?

/v/ drone detected. Commencing common sense.

I think it's a good time to drop out of this thread now, before it turns into a petty bull**** argument. I can see that coming.

Nevertheless, you've just stated your entire opinion through a pretty graph, but that doesn't change what it is, an opinion. There is no right and wrong in this, there is only opinion. If enough people are of the opinion that this Day 1 DLC is bad, and by enough, I mean a majority of consumers. They will speak with their wallet, and Bioware and EA will have to comply, much like they did with Battlefield 3.

If, on the other hand, there isn't a large majority who feel it is wrong, and everyone buys the game anyway, then they will not change it. It is simply a matter of which side is larger, and which side speaks with their wallet. So, really, I wish people would stop arguing about it. Really, what does one side gain from trying to convert the other side over the their point of view? But there, we have that problem with pretty much everything now-a-days.

IMO, people tend to view Day 1 DLC as something that was part of the game, but was removed so they could charge for it separately and gauge the customer.

DLC has become an accepted part of gaming. Day 1 DLC is a continuation of the concerns people had regarding DLC in the first place. That they would be getting an unfinished game that they would have to pay extra for the full experience.

Am I going to buy it? Yep. Maybe when it goes on sale, but I'm definitely going to. But I still think Day 1 DLC is BS.


On to something a little less divisive.... I never really used it much in prior Mass Effect games, but was stasis always that overpowered as it is in the multiplayer demo?

With few exceptions: stasis = team target practice. Especially when you consider how fast the recharge times are for Asari adepts.

I wouldn't know about the multiplayer statis, as I barely played it. I played one game to get the gist of how it felt and then really, I was pretty bored. (I got early access.) :3

/v/ is nearly as fail as your EA fanboyism and ad hominem. For a company the size of bioware, the above doesn't even apply, especially since, as you failed to point out, software doesn't go off, there's no limit on release.

Exactly. That is why I'm not buying ME3, and not because of an imageboard I don't even read or like.

@Day 1 DLC, this is the reason I buy the Collector's Edition!

Dodging the question?


Dismissing the arguments without rebuttal?


Attacks against the poster?


Yep. He's been absorbed by the hive mind.


EDIT: And everybody knows that even with the hardcore /v/ block (/v/ is everywhere, and they're the ones pushing the anti-EA circlejerk) boycotting the game, ME3 is going to be the best seller of the entire series. In fact, the only game that may outsell it in 2012 is Guild Wars 2.


Cyvaris: I was going to reorder a collectors' edition as well, but I place my preorder during the "get a free copy of BF3" promotion, and I don't want to lose a free 60$ game over :10bux:

^And now they took back the "Get a game free" deal so....

Yeah, so if I reorder I lose my free BF3.

To anyone who finished ME3, if you didn't understand what my concerns regarding Avatar 2 are, you should now.

I didn't think it was even out yet...

It is absolutely amazing.


I am near speechless.
