I say all that with the confidence of someone who was absolutely certain the Brits wouldn't vote to leave the EU. Hey, quite a lot of us didn't. I should keep this response for the off-topic politics thread, but there are people over there even more whacked out of their minds than me. Not that I don't agree with them about some things! I will spoiler it though, because nobody really gives a fuck other than those of us directly affected. You don't have to tell me - my constituency was the fourth highest in the Remain camp, voting almost 3:1 in favour. But then we had the good sense or foresight to know that it'll prove to be completely unworkable without a hard border with the Republic of Ireland, which is in itself completely unworkable. Every constituency which borders the RoI voted to remain by significant margins. I live five miles from the currently invisible border, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten the hell of fearing I was going to be shot for being perceived as an uppity Paddy by some teenager from Croyden every time I crossed it when it was policed previously, especially at Aughnacloy where Aidan McAnespie was murdered by a soldier. And of course I remember the humiliation of Gate 49 at Heathrow, so I'm not thrilled at the prospect of whatever the 'Plan B' approach may be. Farage, Johnson, Villiers (queen fuckwit among fuckwits), May, Gove, Fox and that retiring fat fucker Cameron will have a lot to answer for when it all goes tits up from an 'Irish Problem' perspective. They're just bluffing, making it up as they go along. 'Brexit means Brexit' made me snort with laughter the day May said it. Yes, Teresa, but what exactly does a made-up word mean? Funny how the media accepts May as legitimate when they hounded Gordon Brown from the day he took up his unelected office. Having seen Farage making an arse of himself (again) today, my only hope is that the reason why Article 50 has not yet been triggered is truly because there is no legal basis for doing so without a vote in Parliament. There are legal challenges already in place, not that you'd know it from the Ministry of Information BBC. The Good Friday Agreement, which nominally secures the peace here, is an international treaty signed off by both the British and Irish Parliaments, but EU membership and funding is enshrined within it. You can't just say, "Oh, I'm sure everything will be all right" and tear the thing up without a vote, or without providing confirmation of alternative funding for its various programmes. And yes, I know most English people wouldn't have the first clue what I'm on about, and would jettison Northern Ireland at the first opportunity, just as they were happy to see us removed from the name of their Olympic teams. (Well, I say happy, but tbh I'm sure nobody English actually noticed.) While such an act would please me personally, it may not be met with much enthusiasm by some of my countrymen. I really don't want us to be having another Irish Civil War 100 years or so after the last one, all because Teresa was made to look like a fool by a man with a hook when she was Home Secretary. Because that's what it's all about, really - the European Convention on Human Rights, which she is desperate to see Britain come out of. If things carry on in the way they seem to be going, my joking hypothesis that the Nazis did in fact win WWII but managed to hide the fact for 70 years will begin to look rather more serious, especially with the rise of the Right in the USA. The thing that amuses me most about the whole mess is how those of us who 'lost' are being told to stop whingeing and get on with making the best of it. I'd just like to point out that if we'd 'won' by the same margin, the Leave side would have taken it as absolute justification for continuing their campaign. One rule for them, another for us, it seems. Thank God for my Irish/European passport! Whatever happens, the only people who will benefit from this are lawyers. Or should that be liars? In short: We're not out of Europe yet. BioWare and EA are kings of wisdom and sanity when compared with politicians. And I don't have a problem with sync-kills in the game, apart from the Krolord who should not be able to be killed by a Phantom - that's just stupid.

Well I am sure bioware will listen more to their community now that they got rid of those pesky forums. Damn straight! Twitter and Facebook are the only communities EAware needs, not those creepy BSNers Yeah fuck those people who care about balance, mechanics, bugs, and other stupid shit the game decides to do. They don't need the competetive players critiquing their fuckups.

Not that I don't agree with them about some things! Heh - couldn't agree more. Good Friday agreement was a major victory for common sense. I'm in Manchester - we didn't want it either.

I suspect they will knock it out of the park. I'm on Xbox, so connectivity issues haven't been a huge concern for me. But a lot of what they did in ME3 MP was to experiment with different mechanics, different powers, heck with Volus even different scales. If they take everything they learned from that and apply it to ME:A MP, there's no reason to think it won't be great.

I think they will have learned a bit from their mistakes. While DAI wasn't awesome, they still listened to their fans and implemented later on a lot of their wishes, even that cheat glitch which gives more cash in the game, they had fixed that but because the fans complained they put it back in. I have a little more faith this time because of this.

Instead they basically said "go ahead and cheat, we've already got your money so we don't care about the state of the game."
