Sadly KalserShep most people who play cod are 12-18 the age group most likely to follow whats "cool" and internet hating nowadays="cool" so if ya think about it makes sense. but i think/hope mea has a more mature audience and the same wont happen. Im still worried though. Pretty sure the average age for ME's player base is well over 18, likely mid 20's.

lol wavebend it didnt flop you say lmao. It was the best selling game of 2016, better than BF1. Maybe it "flopped" compared to other COD games, but that's another thing.

I highly doubt it, the hate towards Andromeda seems to be from a much smaller group the something like Infinite Warfare which had a massive dislike from the very start. The other thing is the people that care about what is said on the internet is a smaller group. Colonial Marines with how buggy and broken it was went on to sell over 1.3 million copies with everyone from reviewers to players talking about how horrible the game was.

No. 90% of gamers don't go on forums, wait for reviews or do any research. See: No Man's Sky I think this is about right. The game will be sold largely on the basis of tv spots and casual shoppers.

The game has alreadyy gone gold and it's still a month out from release. There's your answer. Can you explain this a bit more? Games going "gold" is different from music records or albums going gold. In the video game industry, when a game goes "gold", that means the game is complete, it's been approved by all the necessary people outside of Bioware (Sony, Microsoft, various ratings boards, etc.), and has been sent off for the game discs to be pressed. It has absolutely nothing to do with the number of units sold or pre-ordered.

People still buying it, COD IW was released at the same time with BF1, or they could just go starving because there is not much out there.
I mean how many 2017 games are out there ?

Don't think internet hate will affect sales much if not at all, at the end of the day it depends if the game is good or not I guess or the time of release... regardless of reception, like another has pointed out, if MEA gets below original ME reviews, they will call it abysmal cause it ain't 10. If it gets 10, we get this

No, bioware could and might do a video that makes this post and every other video less interesting with in depth shamazeballz gameplay video of there own, I think we all need hands on the actual game.

Don't know. Don't care really. Internet hate doesn't tend to influence my purchase decisions. There are far better sources to figure out if the game itself interests me enough to buy it after the game is released. Only lemmings blindly follow the crowd.

Internet hate... as in: Vocal customers of former BW products that are skeptical of the quality of the game?

I don't really care what anyone says. I'd decided I was going to get it when they first said they were making it.

Internet hate... as in: Vocal customers of former BW products that are skeptical of the quality of the game? It's still baseless... because those vocal customers don't actually have any access to the game yet. I'm don't think I should give someone whose bought a BW product in the past any more credit for being able to predict the future than anyone else. I also have to wonder about people who bother to go overboard to hate on a product pre-release while adamantly asserting they are a "better fan" than I because they've already decided to buy the game regardless or have already pre-ordered it. If they can't listen to their own "better judgment" enough to not buy a game they figure they won't like, I have to ask - why should I? I've always judged games post-release... and I see no reason to change my strategy now just because this particular game is attracting more pre-release skepticism than usual.

Did you see that 17min vid, it was awful. I don't know if it was the skill of the player or the game's presentation itself that put me off a bit. It reminded me so much of Inquisition; and peebee was almost as annoying as Sera. I'll definitely have to wait for the reviews.

I think it'll affect it to a degree, but I'm more worried about it affecting the green light on a sequel.

Depends. The game will sell a lot of copies at launch no matter what. If the game ends up being seen as average however that will effect long term sales. Would be nice to have DA:I sales over the last few years as a frame of reference, but guess what? EA don't report on stuff like that because they are worried about Investors. Could also be Interesting to see how much Mass Effect 3 sold life time compared to Mass Effect 2. I will admit i share some of your worries. Deus Ex Mankind Divided flopped, like really did flop. It already had a 70% off sale at Steam and Square Enix put the franchise on pause. Most AAA games that come out nowadays that were part of a series sell average amount of copies and then is never really talked about. FFXV, Gears of War 4, Halo 5, games that sold well, but not compared to what they should and could. We'll see when it drops. No matter what happens it won't be the end of Bioware just yet, but EA are terrified of the sales as they always are and they might pull a Square Enix some day. Square-Enix's major problem is a lack of faith in their own properties not to mention the cost of their games. The sheer cost of not only making Final Fantasy XV but they made also a full-length CGI movie prequel to the game and the fact that FFXV was what almost a decade in development. Plus the fact that SE fucked up and didn't listen to their community on continuing to support both the PS4 and Xbox One instead of focusing more on PC an area that they don't have a lot experience in. Plus the fact that can't make up their damn minds on a game should be released: should it be a complete game or serialized game like the FF7 remake. The constant changing things like combat systems adding and subtracting features that some games don't need and other do. Not to mention like the new Hitman game is a sequel or a reboot? Having unrealistic sales goals for some of their games like Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Not marketing them very well. Lack of faith in their products, extremely high productions, confusing decisions, unrealistic sales expectations, and topped off with poor marketing is what hurts Square-Enix more than anything IMHO.

Internet hate... as in: Vocal customers of former BW products that are skeptical of the quality of the game? There is a difference between skeptism and hatred. IMHO being skeptical means acknowledging BioWare's past mistakes, but also having an open mind that the game might be good or even great. And not always jumping the gun when some reviewer you got a sneak peak says "it's great" that means the reviewer has been bought off by EA. Hatred is saying " ME:A sucks even though only a handful of press has played it and they're all bought off by EA and I don't like the trailers" that is just plain fucking stupid. Either wait to the March 16th and play the demo on XB1 and/or PC or just wait and play the full game when it comes out and then make up your damn mind for yourself and if you like or love it tell the world and if you hate it tell the world why in a thoughtful and constructive way then move on with your life. But if all people going to is bash the game that they hate for whatever reason they need seriously need to get a fucking life and as far as I'm concerned the irrational and unreasonable haters can take their hatred and stick sideways up their asses.

People are still butthurt about ME3 endings, so I would say yes. Anybody who's still butthurt about that needs to get over it. No kidding. The people who are still butthurt about the various endings to ME3 are just as bad Star Wars prequel haters. The crybabies got their wish in both cases with a new game that is set in new galaxy where the endings won't affect you and a new set of movies and yet they still won't shut the fuck up about how their feeling were hurt by BioWare and George Lucas.

It's a shooter. Therefore it's pretty much guaranteed to sell, regardless of how many people Bioware has p*ssed off in the past. There's always more.
It is, as the Catalyst says, inevitable.
