There are rumors that EA heavily rushed production of DAII and ME3

I don't see how the shortcomings of Bioware developed games are EA's fault. Yes EA owns Bioware but saying EA is responsible for the ending of Mass Effect 3 is ignorant.

Sony did not inform millions of credit card users that their personnel info was in possible jeopardy and EA somehow is worse than that. Seriously the opening round of the bracket.

EA tested, modified, and published the game.

To think they are not responsible is a bit naive.

Well seeing as how Mass Effect 3 was a great game what exactly did EA do wrong?

We've been over the game's abortion of an ending, or have you forgotten?

And originally EA had nothing to do with the game, now they should get credit for the game being great? Which is it?

We are specifically talking about the ending. You made it about the entire game. If your name is on something(it's hard to miss the EA logo on the front of the ME3 box) then you are responsible for the contents consequently EA is responsible for the ending.

So the ending of a video game made EA the worst company in America, ignorance all over this thread.

No one said the game's ending made EA the worst company in America. We did state that EA taking over Bioware influenced the game. Try to keep up.

There are MULTIPLE things EA did to affect this game. The game's story design, RPG elements, and core elements were altered once EA gained control.

This could be said about many games EA has affected when they took over smaller developers.

And the fact that every female in the universe suddenly developed DD's was annoying and cheap.

Woah, woah, woah. Slow your roll. Not EVERYTHING EA does is bad.

I wonder what someone would have to tell themselves in order to think the ending to ME3 was a good one?

You have experience here, perhaps you can share?

You know, it doesn't really bother me if people liked the ending. To each their own. I do find that those who do like the ending either didn't play the other games or played them only once. That isn't everyone though.

What I find funny is that those who liked the end seem angrier that others didn't like it. Or, for some reason, they can't understand why people don't like it.

You're right, they should just buy Bioware and then let them do whatever the frick they want.

Wait, what's that? It's not a good idea to ignore your investments and not try to nurture them?

You're coming off as the ignorant fanboi here.

Hes not an ignorant fanboi. Hes either a troll or an EA plant. Thats the only way to explain his lack of imigination, logical deficits, and condescention for every other poster's opinion. However the same rules apply. If we want EA to stop making shitty games we should stop buying them. If we want him to go away we should stop responding to him.

Hate to break out an oldie but a goodie here but it applies.

Don't feed the trolls!

There is your issue. The transition from DA1 to DA2 was such a jarring style change that it really seems like a totally different universe. In addition to forcing a different protagonist down everyones throat, there are only about 3 different dungeon layouts which you are forced to endure the entire game. The combat devolves into a hack and slash Dynasty Warriors type bore-fest.

I don't mind Dragon Age II at all, should've probably just called it something different though.
