Why You Should Boycott Mass Effect 3

[quote=NinjaGinge]Shady business and marketing? Casualization? Different modes of play for people who want different things from the game they play? Changing things in the face of older players? SOUNDS LIKE ITS TIME TO STOP PLAYING LOL GUYS. =_=[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]I actually read it all. Didn't realise there would be so much controversy. And wow... forcing homosexual content on people is a stupid idea. Is that sort of thing really necessary? :/[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]did you play dragon age 2? unless you were a jerk to one of the gay companions then he would constantly hit on you. [img]http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/079/0/4/dragon_age_2__anders_comic_by_airakyou-d3c21hn.png[/img][/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Cau: I think you may not have researched your anger far enough... http://www.themarysue.com/inclusion-what-jennifer-heplers-story-is-all-about/ Pretty much tells me everything you told me, but in a positive light. I didn't grow up a gamer like my friends. I still haven't played Mario. I suck at platform games. It takes me a few weeks to learn the controls of a new game, when others instantly know what buttons/keys do what. I watch Warlemming play FF and I think to myself, "Wouldn't this game be faster if you could just put the combat to automatic/fast forward?" And that's exactly the same thing Jennifer said and ME3 is doing. Making the game more fun for those who don't want to spend hours upon hours on combat, but would rather follow the story and watch the cutscenes. Making a game more mainstream isn't bad... and I mean, you still have your combat orientated mode, and now I have my RPG story "movie". Can't we both be happy?[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i'm sorry but good gameplay has always been the cornerstone of gaming. if she wants to read a book or watch a movie then let her watch a movie or read a book, not force video games to change for her opinion. seriously, it doesn't bother you that someone who doesnt like video games is in fact working for video games? because that bugs the fuck out of me.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]She said that 5 years ago though. And she isn't related to the gameplay section, only the story content.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]Okay, I came back because this topic was just really stupid, mainly cause ME3 is double plus fun (+ coop!). Then I realized Caucheka made it. Either or guys, ease up on Caucheka, video games are the only thing he has going for him in his life right now. Don't take that from him and read his report on the hours of time he spent researching this rather then him going out and [s]getting laid[/s] having a social life. The again, this is coming from the same guy who said he wasn't going to play Portal 2 because the flash version of portal was terrible. Tough call, but give the nerd and his hours of obsessed research a chance. Anyways, 1 month down, 3 more to go. *poof*[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf][quote=jhoijhoi] Making a game more mainstream isn't bad... and I mean, you still have your combat orientated mode, and now I have my RPG story "movie". [/quote] I can heartily disagree. Megaman was regarded as one of the harder NES games. They rebooted the series with MM9 and 10 on the Wii. 9 was brutal difficult. 10 on the other hand had an easy mode. It let more people "enjoy" the game without putting any effort into it. Just sayin, it was bad.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Well, NintendoHard isn't really something you can refer back to... like, consider Echo the Dolphin. I would love to play a version I could... play.[/quote]
