You mean that one room in which a single cut scene takes place? Yeah I agree.Bisnic said:

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.

I liked it in Mass Effect, but I dont need it to return. Yeah, it was neat, but I'd much rather BioWare take all the time end effort required to rebuild it for a new game and spend that building somewhere new to visit.
The citadel was rad, but its time to move on.

Well we got a list of locations a while ago. Earth, the moon around some turian world, the salarian homeworld. But Bioware is heavily invested in characters they introduced in ME2 so I don't doubt several of them will make a return.derFeef said:

Isn't this the same guy who came up with the A for Awesome nonsense? How he's allowed to speak for Bioware anymore is beyond me. Biowares marketing seems to be met near universal scorn where ever it appears yet this still do it. I have no idea who it's aimed at, but I can't imagine it's getting across very well to this segment of the market they are trying to sell to.
Say what you want, but it seems the marketing works.bobnowhere said:
Even though RPG fans hated the blood, sex & Manson DA:O campaign, it did attracted masses of non-RPG fans... that in the end (according to BioWare's stats) never even bothered to finish the origin part. The same with DA2 - the game was universally panned by RPG fans, yet it sold pretty well for what it was.

Actually last time I remember is that we didn't get any solid numbers concerning DA2. There were some PR statements made about that it sold more or something but nothing concrete.Mr_Zombie said:

Honestly, with the way the PC market works now, specifically the fact that games get discounted a month or two after release and even with that, still get frequently discounted to half the original price or less throughout the year for various promotions, it is hard to measure the actual success of said games.Lostconfused said:
Maybe I'm over thinking this but PC game sales after a couple of months I always just take with a grain of salt when it comes to a game's profitability (in terms of market penetration, a game sale is a game sale regardless of price). 1M sales 4 months out at half or less the price just doesn't carry the same weight as 1M sales at release.

Considering how much of a rush job DA2 is and how many corners were cut in the process. I would think Bioware/EA are more interested in popularity of the Dragon Age franchise rather than how profitable DA2 was.

Was DAO profitable though? I know it was popular and sold well but with the amount of time and money they spent making it, I'm sure I read somewhere that the game wasn't very or at all profitable.Lostconfused said:
Going off of that, I just assumed that the reason DA2 was such a rush job was because they wanted to make up for the loss on DAO. Spend a quarter of the time making it and sell approximately the same number of copies as DAO to make up those losses seemed to be what the battle plan was to me.

I'm glad to see they have their confidence in check. It's good to hear that the presidum is making a return. Now I just hope they bring back the ambient music on the Citadel and the Normandy.

I know many didn't like the planet exploration in Mass Effect, but I really wish they'd bring it back in ME3. Most of the planets were really boring, ugly and had badly generated surfaces, I agree, but sometimes you stumbled on few planets with beautiful sky boxes ...
and you really got the feeling that you were exploring space and its uninhabited and barren planets and you were completely alone. Same goes for the creepy abandoned space or research stations with husks, geth or other enemies. Looked all the same, with the same layout, but sometimes the music was chilling and some of the stations even had some creepy back story. The atmosphere was really great and made you feel lonely in space. Man, how I missed that feeling in Mass Effect 2. Instead of building on it and improving it, they just scrapped everything and added crap like ship fuel and resources.
Of course it's not coming back in ME3. You're at war, who gives a shit about planet exploration.

Yes! My only reservation for voting for that Shep was that she was blonde in round 1! Redheads holla!
