We need cut EA and Bioware some slack

What does the bolded part mean?  I think I know but I'd like clarification.

There you go.

I'd like clarification on this as well.  Which part did I not read?

Oh for the love of pete. Okay, this is probably polishing, rather than a bug. But if you can't draw your weapon in a "safe" area, you shouldn't be able to get attacked by wildlife in them.

Time for this thread to be shuttered again in 3...2...1...

You wrote I experienced NO bugs, which is imo untrue. I would be happy to drop it, but I think it's kind of sad that you can't even say: Sorry I didn't mean it that way. And it's not just you, it's 3-4 people who say... "oh you didn't have any bugs, so what you say doesn't matter to me." this is equally dismissive.

I'm sorry when you thought I was dismissive, but I really know what kind of bugs the game has.

Savegames: I know this, because Origin deleted my Sims 3 Savegames. Origin does this weird Sync thing with the games. You can dismiss it all you want, I don't really care. Just saying: if you encounter that problem, don't wait for the Patch that will "fix" it from BW. Never going to happen.

Of course this conversation is stupid, because the people who are outraged don't even know what classifies as a bug. And suddenly you make everything a bug. 

To make it 100 undoubtedly clear to you, because you simply don't want to get it: I had bugs, I had crashes, which are not bugs. When a conversation starts, I had animals attack me, where I had to skip the conversation to not get murdered. That's also not a bug. That is just poor design.
If we could stop saying everything is a bug. What is YOUR issue, with me saying the game has a couple of bugs?

I think the issue here is that I'm not over-dramatizing the number of bugs the game has, compared to any other release from other RPG companies. It's not bug free, but it's not the worst bug ridden game of all time. And I will stand with that opinion.

And vice versa. It may seem implausible to be tolerant of others problems, or lack thereof, but I think the forums capable. Maybe.

Only because I had the issue and talked to EA, with the Sims.. So I'm basically the source that had the issue. If you don't want to believe that, that's absolutely fine.

So the issue is the word Drama Queen? Oh for the love of everything. How can you all be so angry about that. FFS. I apologize for Drama Queen. I didn't think in the age of twitter that was such a bad word.

Oh? So because it happened in Sims 3 due to an Origin issue, the problem is the same here? You can't say that for sure.

Because let's be honest here. Sims 3 is a very buggy game on its best day. You look at a save wrong in that game and it goes corrupt. You have to mod it to have a high chance at having a stable game and even that's not a guarantee. And I'm a Sims 3 player myself who's just finishing up a hiatus with Sims 3 due to Sims 3 corrupting a save (I crash if I enter build/buy mode in one save). It could have been due to how Origin's sync interacted with the Sims 3 save system.

Given that it has happened in previous titles, does give evidence that the problem may be the same, but it could just be unfortunate coincidence that an Origin problem is the same as a ME:A problem.

Like I said, if you don't want to believe I mailed with EA about the issue. That's fine. I didn't think one word would make everyone get so extremely hostile all of the sudden.

"We will dismiss this claim" 

Bioware...sure. EA.....NEVER!!!!

Calm down, take a deep breath. I didn't want to upset you or your friend. It's all good.

If EA makes it possible for all game owners with proof of purchase to be eligible for a $30 rebate, then I'm sure plenty of gamers will cut them some slack.
