If you read their twitter feed it's brutal, just brutal. No one seems too impressed by the MP offerings . . . hm, wonder why?
Because it feels like it was designed by committee rather than actual people, and said committee didn't understand why people liked what they liked about ME3MP.
And some people actually wanted a good SP experience and don't give a sh*t about MP
Oh, another one of those people that would rather accept mediocrity from a franchise that USED to be beloved. Can the gaming industry crash now? Thanks.
There's miles of healthy space between accepting mediocrity and ranting incesssantly, complete with profanity and personal insults, as we've seen on Twitter.
I can sympathize with the ranting -- it comes from real pain, proportional to one's love for the OT -- much in the same way I can sympathize with a two-year old who is throwing a tantrum in the cereal aisle of my neighborhood grocery store. I've no doubt that toddler is feeling real pain, but that doesn't mean I'm going to hang around and listen to the racket. More to the point, if that neighborhood grocery store is filled with toddlers throwing tantrums every time I visit, it's going to be rather challenging to enjoy my weekly shopping trip.
And, just like the toddler's tantrum, it doesn't accomplish anything useful. It just annoys all the adults who happen to be stuck in the same place. And it certainly isn't going to persuade the grocer to bring back the toddler's favorite cereal, since the company that used to make it doesn't do so any more.
Inquisitor: Is that innuendo? Sera: No, it's at the front!

What an exquisite image and very aptly applied. Now, if you all will excuse me, I have been put in the mood for some Raisin Bran.
Also I'd like to extend a thank you Hrungr for continuing to update the thread with tweets.

I keep falling in love with this game. It's a serious slow-starter, which likely went a long way toward its poor reception. Combined with the early bugs, and the average gamer's tendency to never advance very far through most games, I'm sure it had an effect. Still, if I get the right protagonist in place (default Scott, custom Sara) and stick with it, I'm usually totally engrossed by the time I reach Havarl. This crew and the host of plotlines laid out really deserve another game. From a gameplay perspective, I'm still trying new builds after 6 mos and more than 6 PTs.
Those are my thoughts for tonight, BSNers. I'm always amused at how the twitter threads never die, but evolve into a lengthy, meandering general discussion. The process seems to be beginning in this thread.

I feel like this game could have worked better if it was less open world. I keep playing in the 'wrong order'. On Eos, I explored the Promise buildings counter clockwise because that's where I was after the Kett attack. But obviously I was supposed to start from the Nomad's side and proceed clockwise and find the keycode. Instead, I found the keycode in the very first building. And the same after you get the Nomad: on my first playthrough I missed the part about 6 wheel drive and couldn't get up the first hill so I went roaming around everywhere else. Really ruined the pacing, imagine that happening to people who don't generally finish most games.
On the other hand, some things seem to advance way too fast, like the game expects you to have explored a lot already when you've done barely anything so far. On Eos, I activated the vault before I went back to Tempest and suddenly my team mates and emails suggest that I should have visited the Tempest a few times before proceeding to activate the vault on Eos. Yet there is nothing on Eos to suggest you should get back to Tempest before you start exploring with the Nomad and activating the vault. Especially since you can't just visit Tempest and check on your emails - you have to go to orbit to check your email and then land again.
And on my second playthrough, I have: activated the vault on Eos; and visited Aya. And already Liam is telling me that people are getting anxious and need to have a movie night -- we barely got started? And then the movie night won't even be possible until very late into the game.
It's things like these with the pacing of tasks and presumed order of doing things that make me imagine how much better the game could have been if it hadn't been so open world. I do like roaming around but I think I would prefer a tighter story line and a fixed order of doing things. Especially since there is so much to do, it's hard to remember why I'm doing this or that when you're fairly free to proceed in any order you want.

I started to write a reply and it got longer and longer and it passed the Hrungr threshold, so I made a new thread instead:

Thank you!
Yeah, while we're working on ideas to better filter tweets/news from conversations, let's try and keep the OT chatter to one of the other threads. We've always allowed a bit of on-topic chatter in the Twitter Threads, but when it starts turning into conversations, it should be moved to another thread.
I'm sure people are not frustrated over the fact that their once full priced isn't getting any proper support after BioWare "fixed" the mess they shipped.
Yup. They are not.
Just get over it. BioWare already did. They deserve any negativity, again - it was their doing, and they need to be called out over it.
They were. Now you and others won't shut the hell up. The rest of us are tired of the ranting.
Thankfully, people have better standards than you. If you're so tired over a game, you can log off and cry in the nearest corner lil' guy.

Ummm... aren't you the one who keeps crying over a game?
Also, I'm fairly sure the person you respond to is "tired of the ranting", not the game. I suggest you take your own advice, unless you think that hijacking a forum to air your endless grievances - when we heard those for months already and know them by heart - is actually a "high standard" of adult behavior.

How long are they continuing these streams? I watched a bit of last weeks, and it didn't seem like the guy playing was having that much fun with it.
I'm surprised their still doing these livestreams, the comment section has to be toxic as hell. Well, in the infamous blog post, they said that they'll have a livestream on N7 Day. I doubt that means they'll have livestreams until N7 Day, but like everything with this game BioWare continues to surprise...

I can see them doing livestreams until N7 Day. After all they only do one a week and there is only 8 weeks until N7 Day so only 8 more livestreams until then.

I've paid more than a full price for this game. I have the right to do that, you know, as a costumer, demand a game to the standards they grow me used to, and I'm even easy to please. So, you will just have to deal with that. Good job willingly eating the shit they put in your plate. Nice to know you're that insecure regarding any type of criticism anywhere else.

He said he was tired of the ranting not the game.
And I said he doesn't have to see all the ranting. Try reading again . There wouldn't be none of this level if they actually made a, you know, good game? Again, tired? The logout button is right over there.

There's criticism, and then there's whining. While Bioware reaped what they sowed when It came to moving to Twitter. The excessive whining doesn't do any favors.
