TNL: The problem with sequels, especially second installments to games or movies that are revered, is that what follows rarely brings about the same euphoria as the original. Rarely do follow-up games or movies capture the same magic as the first, despite the fact that they may actually be put together better than the original was.
Immersed Gamer writes: "In order to replace the oppressive BioWare Points system, EA is making a large portion of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age DLC catalogs free for PC users.
For those of you blissfully unaware, EA and BioWare employed a payment system called BioWare Points on PC to pay for DLCs for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While PC gamers have been struggling with BioWare point’s unfair conversion rates and extremely scarce and cost-detrimental sales.
Console players have been allowed to purchase content in pieces through the appropriate Sony and Microsoft shops. For real money, and not BioWare monopoly bucks. In turn, console players missed out on some DLC content, such as Mass Effect 2 pre-order bonuses that have been repackaged into a DLC pack."
Great response to Ubisoft and their disgusting behavior. Ubisoft decide to take away DLC from people who paid for it, while EA give it for free to everyone when they realize their system sucks. Who would have thought that EA of all companies would be showing Ubisoft how it should be done (even if this is EA fixing their own mistakes as well).

While BioWare’s quality has fallen off lately, there’s no denying the quality of titles in their portfolio. That’s why we’re going to dive in and rank every BioWare game from worst to best. By every, I do mean every BioWare game, even the ones you completely forgot about!"
Ranked from worse to even more worse more like, they been on free fall for a fair few years now and I personally don't think any of there earlier games have aged well
Wow to think at one point in their history they made a Sonic the Hedgehog game..crazy
Anthem is crazy underrated. I really enjoyed it. ME1 is Bioware's best imo
Delving into a well-loved game or series years after its release, when it already has an enthusiastic and devoted fanbase, can be incredibly difficult. People can be casually mean on the internet without intending to, and that happens a lot when you say you don’t like something they do. Fans of the franchise take their love of the game very seriously. They’re fervent and devoted, which has its charms, but it can also feel like you’re disappointing them when you decide their thing is not your thing.
Cult favorite? It’s well known and sold fairly well and they are making a fourth game . I don’t see it anywhere near cult favorite status . I really enjoyed the first game and the third was pretty good (with failed mmo faults you could notice) but the second game was lazily made garbage .
Loved the first one, second was pretty good. Couldn't even get through the third one. Don't have high hopes for 4, but hey, nowhere to go but up hopefully.
DA: Origins was cool, but I got Mass Effect 2 at the same time and goddayum there was no comparison imo.
While I did enjoy playing this game, it did not leave a lasting impression on me. there are improvements but also setbacks.
The good:
Improved mechanics make gamplay fluent
A voiced protagonist, I don't feel like a mute now
Improved graphics
The bad:
There are many choices but they mainly concern the personality of the hero, you can't change most of the events happen without an option to change the outcome
I can't change the defense gear of the party
The skill tree smaller
Going to the same maps over and over
The ending is a start, doesn't conclude much.
I really wish DA comes back to form in the future, if BW want quick sequels it should have many developers help out like assassins creed.
As I BIG fan I hope BW at least does:
1-make choices change most events and bring back persuasion
2- make the skill system deep like DA Origins
3-much more map verity.
Great game! It was hated on for some dumb reasons if you ask me. If the game seems too simple for you then put it on the hardest setting and it's pretty much like Origins again.
Rubbish game!
5/10
Hmmmmm there is simply no way I will buy this until it comes with all the DLC.
Seems bioware just wanted to throw this out there and see how much money they could make..
