Kotaku: The Story Behind ME:A's Troubled Five-Year Development

My bad.
Just tryin' to understand the mentality of blocking people over mundane things.


Back to topic.

Don't get me wrong, I get it, but I only ever use that sort of thing in cases of real harassment. To each their own.

Given BW's track record of announcing DLC and dropping it a day later, I don't follow that line of thought. I find it near impossible to believe that a ME game won't get SP DLC.

I actually went back and checked the last couple of games' track record for DLC announcements

For DAI: Initial release, November 18, 2014)

Jaws of Hakkon announced March 23, 2015 and released on XBox One & PC March 24, 2015, all other platforms May 26, 2015

Descent

Announced August 5, 2015, released August 11, 2015

Trespasser

Announced August 29, 1015, released September 8, 2015

Mass Effect 3 (initial release, March 6, 2012, EC June 26, 2012)

Leviathan

Announced August 2, 2012, released August 28, 2012

Omega
Announced August 12, 2012 released August 27, 2012

Citadel
Announced February 21, 2013, released March 5, 2013

It seems that with the exception of Jaws of Hakkon (which the XBone and PC has a one month timed exclusive over the others) there is almost a full week advance notice, and sometimes as much as a month between initial announcement and release.

Edited to put in initial release dates of the game, as well as the release of EC.  Jaws of Hakkon was released about four months after DAI was released, and Leviathan was announced five months after ME3 was released, and slightly over a month after EC.

Yeah, but even if we allow for making Jaal bangable by Scott Ryder as MEA's "Extended Cut" we are coming up on the point where Leviathan would have been announced if we follow ME3's pattern.

And we've already passed the point where DAI announced Jaws of Hakkon.

Just pointing out the pattern here 

From release until the end of March, DAI got six patches.

How many has MEA had?  

Well, Warner did get a lot of flak for focusing on DLC rather than fixing Arkham Origins back in the day.

Warner Prioritizing DLC Over Fixing Arkham Origins’ Bugs

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I actually went and counted, the patch numbers started with 1.04. So it looks like it's been patched as much as DAI.

@both of you Got it, 5 patches as of yet.
Iakus did DA:I's patches involve the sheer amount of fixes that ME:A's have?

I am NOT going to go line by line and count the bugs squashed.  I gotta draw the line somewhere! 
That said, I recall lots of complaints about DAI being a buggy mess on release.  Not unlike MEA.

Heck I remember my first dude inquisitor being referred to as female by everyone.  Dang, he coulda romanced Sera...

You're right, man. I didn't mean to nit pick.
