Digital Foundry has a pretty good analysis on what the difference could mean for games: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-spec-analysis-xbox-one

1) People who said, “Meh, I was hoping for more and a better effort in differentiation of the last choices of the game…but whatever.”  Such people didn’t need an update they just wanted to tell Bioware to do a better job for the next series.

2) People who said,”What the FUCK?”  Such people played this series based on the choices, but their choices were totally negated at the end of the third game.  Moreover, all the ending were so much the same, so where is the choice ins THAT sort of ending.  Such people wanted they fix, and it didn’t help the main writer Tweeted days after launch that the orginal script was changed thus creating a conspiracy.

3) People who said, “I guess the ending sucked…I quit playing before the ending…but I’m pretty upset that other people said I should be upset.”   Such people didn’t care either way, do better next time or change the ending they could care less expect that SOMETHING should be done.

What should have Bioware done?  That answer for me is simple…they should have done the game-story-plot progression right the first time.  That game Bioware set into motion was one based on choice from the first game onward.  The whole series stressed “Its you choice” throught, yet then at the end they garb the reins and tell people to sit back.  WHAT?  WHAT?   You can’t change the rules Bioware, you can’t just let people define their own story and then at the very last second tell people how it ends.  That is teh reason Bioware has no defense…they broke their own rules…they deserve to have to make chnages.  And….

…..Any self respecting fan of Mass Effect should resent the reins being pulled out of their hands.  There needed to be endings to satisfy three or four way the story could have ended.  There is no other point of view a game based on choices needs to end with choices….there is no other point of view.   No TKKNMSTR, there is no other point of view.

Reggie is full of shit, he knows that Nintendo Europe and Nintendo America need to be making new games and expanding the base of IPs.   He knows that other console holders manage to get more games on their consoles.  Just look at Sony….

Sony makes games – period.  Sony has Japanese, European, and N. American developers making great games on a yearly basis and they have multiple studios doing it concurrently.  In that way, NOBODY ever really has a reason to complain about “What’s next?” from Sony for very long.  Sony surprises gamers with new games, while continuing to supply the current properties,and they dip into their back catalog as well.   Sony makes big games and small games too. 

i really felt for the squad and was ‘tripping out’ along side Walker during some of the cutscenes and could see where the Line had been crossed and there was no going back. +1 on the multiple endings as well.

i also think Tribes:Ascend and BLR shows how the F2P model can be done. just have to be ingenious with what you have and how you offer it.

f2p is garbage

constant dlc packs wouldnt stop people from wanting new games in the same series
