Fate of the Quarian Ark, through Comics and Novels??

No, you just have to be a person who prefers something else to what ME2 had to offer.  What is it with this idea that everyone on the planet has to follow the crowd in what they personally like or dislike?  Lots of people like things that not very many people like... If following the crowd was the main thing... then we'd all be into the sports games and not RPGs.  We're already in a minority of what people in general like in a game.  Did you notice... both games are based on a little over 3000 ratings... when millions of copies of each were sold.  There's a lot of room there for variances in opinions... and they are ALL opinions.

ME2 had some flaws.  ME1 had some flaws.  ME3 had some flaws.  All were also different games... intentionally not made identical by Bioware because in each game they wanted to try something different... something new to the franchise.  If the changes they made appealed to you, you like that game better.  If not, you like it less.

And you think MEA's life support was plugged out for the fucks? Or you think it was related to the game, you know, failing?

Everything is right in front of you I'm surprised you chose ignorance instead.

My god, it's not that deep. People like one, because it's good, and the other is disliked because it's not good. It's actually QUITE simple. You just pull this "physiological" bullshit because turns out you like MEA and you're in the minority, therefore you really feel the need to justify how good the game is in yours eyes, for... reasons? We get it.

But it's just not that good, I'm sorry, otherwise the DLC would be there too, but the game just failed wether you like it or not. There are better games to enjoy, I can tell you that.

The support was withdrawn due to it being unpopular with the masses. BioWare erred by trying to produce not niche games, after an accidental success of the second Mass Effect. The dilution of style and chasing the schemes that succeeded overall did present the games to wider audiences that they previously did not capture. But the very nature of moving from hundred of thousand of players that specifically sought out your product, to millions reared on different sorts of games, from all walks of lives and occupations, presented you with a volatile reaction because of variable tastes. Obsidian got the message and is now trying to budget with an expectation to sell a smaller volume to targeted fans.

Do you expect a prickly introverted dame like me who is pursing her lips when she sees a moderately drunk person in disgust and enjoys the most reading a clever book on an obscure period of history to walk into a bar and have a wonderful time with rowdy rednecks cheering on a hockey game? Probably not. But the game developers seem to expect all of us, rednecks and I, and also a gal waiting at the bus stop, to enjoy the same games.

As the videogame era draws on, we'll see more and more stratification, simply because of ages of gamers, education and their life circumstances stretches out over the ever-wider spectrum.

Sure, once in a while a game will hit the jackpot, but in all other cases, the opinions on the games that are not openly niche or very loudly announce what audience they are seeking and planning to profit precisely from the predicted sales based on that audience will fail.

It is not surprising to me that there are many, many, many millions out there interested in Witcher. It also does not surprise me that I do not belong with them.

When I voice my support for Andromeda, Tyranny or Technomancer, I do so to try to convey to the companies that I do exist, and will pay for different games, and I will not just shut up and play the Witcher like the majority, and cry for every game to be like the Witcher. No amount of "calling out" and being shouted at will impact my sense of self-worth and so make me waver in the face of hostile multitude. I do not attach my self-worth to externalities and I am not afraid to form opinions that are my own and it does not make me feel small when someone call them stupid. I can pronounce them stupid right back and be at impasse. In other words, if someone waves the flag of "EVERYONE SAYS SO, YOU DUM ASS!" I will respond with a condescending smile that I am happy to see the unwashed masses pleased, but I, in my unrivaled intellectual superiority do appreciate less pedestrian and finer things.

You can like bad things, and still knowing they are bad. And you can dislike good things, even knowing they are good. I don't like Uncharted or God of War, but I would never say they are bad games. And I also like Dynasty Warriors, but I would never say it's an awesome game.

Actually, they called out me, because they started whining because I was in favor of Bioware not touching ME:A again.  

Haha, you're just denying facts that can clearly be seen in the first page, where I just pointed what I thought and two or three people started arguing. Shows how much of a liar and how you're out of line acting in bad faith just to try to disregard me. 

Have a nice day. Your level of dishonesty and bad faith cannot be matched by anything said by anyone about this particular forum. 

... and you're just denying that this whole argument started many threads ago and has gone on for months.  Shows what a liar you are... etc. etc. (see, I can call people names too).  Fact remains, none of this is relevant to a person deciding whether or not they'll enjoy reading the books or whether or not they enjoyed the game or whether or not they think the game is bad or good or whether or not they think gaming in general is bad or good... It's all opinion.  People's tastes differ... particularly when it comes to what they enjoy in entertainment.

Well put. I found ME:A's pluses far outweighed it's few minuses, and it had a few minuses especially at launch. Still, even if I had despised the game I wouldn't be haranguing people who did like it.

I like that idea, actually. Quite a bit.

I think it's all because our opinions got called subjective in the meanest way possible right after the game came out. Admit that's it's an objectively bad game, but one that you still enjoy playing. A "guilty pleasure" of gaming, if you will. We all have guilty pleasures of TV.

Ya know, if you wanna start up an objective vs. subjective debate again, I'm right there. I'll keep on posting that SS of metacritic and watch as you attempt and fail and at tearing down the pillars of heaven.

Its just the most reasonable sounding to me. For what players would take, and for what Bioware tends to do. Example: Exalted March and further Mage/Templar conflicts in 'DA2' being instead turned into the initial quests in DAI and rather quickly moved on from. So we do something with Quarians and other species but quickly move on (though using Quarians etc NPCs throughout the game onwards). And well, a MEA2 can be Quarian/Geth where MEA was Krogan. Spreading out MET-originating theme focus.
