The Mass effect series never had a season pass. Neither did Dragon Age. Pretty sure bioware will release tons of dlc like they always do. I will wait for the inevitable GOTY edition.

Fishy Fingers2665d ago

Agreed. I'm sure they will offer up plenty of DLC and micro transactions. They just won't wrap them up in one (often cheaper) season pass.

Like you, I'll probably wait for the complete package unless it's really 'all that' at launch. It's only £30 on PC which helps.

If they are it means stats show its more profitable to sell RNG loot boxes.

Hahahahahahaha.... No.....

"....2017 be the year when EA lead by example by ditching the Season Pass concept but also changing their model to a path in which extra monetisation is gleaned from cosmetic DLC alone, keeping games and the gamers that love them less fragmented and more fun.

We can only hope."

How about EA leads by example of dumping season passes and cash grab DLC altogether, making sure their games actually friggen work when they're released, and make their games so damn good, that people insist on buying them instead of skipping them, or waiting for a crack or something.

That would be an example worth making, and better yet, worth following. The entirely defenseless Witcher III leads the charge so far.

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox339d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.

Better not bring back Shepherd from the dead with some half assed space magic.

Snowb420539d ago

If you get your readiness level high enough in Mass Effect 3, *spoilers* you can see Shepard taking in a breath of air under some rubble. It would depend on whichever ending is canon.

Where is my ''Indoctrination Theory'' and ''Destroy'' ending gang at?

@snowb420.
Yeah I saw that at the end of my play through as well. I think they will bring Shepard back….. or at least a mutant version turned villain. Lol
