How well is MEA selling?

congrats, you've got an opinion that isn't widely held.

Hopefully the sales are bad enough to make them understand they f'ed up, but not so bad that it kills the entire Mass Effect franchise or prevents an attempt at a quality game in the future.

Although I agree it's a disappointment, you people seem to enjoy watching one of your favourite franchises get destroyed instead of trying to make it better

You're saying that gamers really are that stupid?

Well since BW haven't made a good game since ME 2, and have ignored or ridiculed people for pointing out what utter turd piles DA2, DAI, ME3 and MEA where, and exactly what was wrong with them (and no it was not their political stance), it was the removal of roleplaying from the games, the feeling of choice that made nearly every BW game prior to that a calssic, was gone, replaced by the march of bland personalityless niceness typified by the Inquisitor and exemplified by Ryder, no real choices just 2 or 4 tones of submission to events and npcs, a va without any real emotion and a studio that had been famed for tight focused narratives that branched in significant ways when important feeling choices where made giving us a paradoxical mix of rail roaded main plots and desolate open world sections, the amount of open world increasing each game to try to mask ever more forced main quests.   Ryder cannot offer any dissent at all, or excercise any agency, he has less personality and freedom than the average fps protagonist, and that trend has been increasing in BW games, to the point that I now struggle to see how they are actually rpgs.

Most are smarter than me and did not put EA spyware on their pc, seriously if I was smarter I would have researched how much Origin tells EA before I installed it, but I R stupid when it ckones to BW games and more fool, me, for I haven't honesy liked one since ME2

I think this newer crew can do it if they are given the chance to.  They already got their feet wet working on this game and need the chance to show that the experience they acquired has been valuable and the future of the series would benefit from that.

I actually liked DA2 a lot more than some and wish it had gotten the longer development cycle it needed.  Inquisition was a weak game for me (one of my least liked Bioware titles, actually), but they did have to learn a new engine and, I suspect, re-write some of their plans due to feedback over 2.  I didn't think the story was really good (just average) until the scene after the credits rolled.  Trespasser was a good DLC, though.  The future of that series intrigues me as I think it could have the strongest narrative and villain setup for Dragon Age yet.  

I think, if this studio is given the power to continue on with ME, they could very likely make a damn good game.  I'm just worried how they will respond to criticisms and "fan ideas".  Truth be told, I think Bioware is horrendous about going overboard with implementing what fans want (or what they think they want); not to mention not all fan beliefs and ideas unify nor does it always serve to strengthen a game.  They need to be smart about what they do and have a strong vision from the team.

If you hate them this much, why are you wasting your time on their fan forum don't you have better things to do?

Natashina change thread title cause apparently OP doesn't understand what confirmed or worldwide means
