    They totally fuct-up mass effect3 and I'm officially boycotting anything to do with EA from here on out.
    WTF? are they in the biz of buying up awesome franchises and turning them to shit? It's the only thing they excell at anymore.

    The controls suck. Moving around is almost like controling a 1960's era robot, too many cutscenes, not enough focussed storyline.....the list goes on ad infinitum. It's not like 1&2, it's almost like a completely different franchise. You have to use Origin to even install the game and I do not like that idea at all. Origin is as trust worthy as the CIA.
    So far, I give the game a 2/10

    Pity, they used to be synonymous with "good games".

    They messed with Old republic too. Dragon age 2 was shit.

    Bioware took it up the ass when they were bought by EA.

    The gaming world needs to unite for one year. Speaking with our dollars will change it all back to what it should be. I understand the needs for anti piracy but give me a freakin break. To impement a scheme that
    totally makes a game nearly unplayable, a hassle to even start and not worth the inflated $60 price tag, should have dire consequences for the company.
