One of the best episodes of Pach-Attack in ages. I love it when he sticks it to the whiners. And I couldn't agree more with him in what he has to say about it.

I agree with everything he said in this episode.... Those whiners are just so darn annoying. The ME3 ending and Bayonetta 2 on Wii U only was a shame to the world of gaming! Still is! Oh well... Spoiled little brats!

I just wish he would stop saying "hello, fellow babies." Sounds stupid!

We were promised "16 VASTLY DIFFERENT ENDINGS" and we got only one...
We were promised that our choices would shape the game's ending and then we got some pre-set choices to end the game.

So, NO! We have EVERY RIGHT to complain and the heads at BioWare went full retard if they left for that! The product is meant for us, the company promised things that were not in the game, we have EVERY SINGLE RIGHT to do what we did! It's EA's and BioWare's fault and if these guys retired because of that, then we don't need them at all! Goodbye corporate whiners!

Don't need them at all, huh? You do realize these are the guys who made the game you're so passionate about, right? You're really ok with never being able to play another amazing game made by them? If you really don't care, then why we're you complaining so much in the first place?

Implying the doctors left because of the whiners.
EA made them quit due to the massive losses of SWTOR, which was a completely crappy game.
Of course DA2 being a terrible game also played a big role, alongside ME3 being mediocre.

Bioware is another studio like RARE, the good staff left for better jobs at other companies (or transferred to other studios inside EA) and Bioware became a bad quality studio. Making 3 bad games in a row is no coincidence.

This.

It should be viewed from both sides before making comments. Even though it may seem like it they don't usually complain for nothing. Bioware and EA hyped up those games like crazy and they simply did not completely deliver which understandably disappointed a lot of people. I think ME3 was the last straw for the fans and the devs and the way things turned out honestly isn't surprising at all. Of course some people take it to far but these idiots should obviously be ignored.

There have been a lot of game journalists going off about how "entitled" and "whiny" gamers are responsible for the doctors leaving Bioware. I found an article quoting a couple tweets from Ray Muzyka himself on the topic:

"I respect/revere fans, because they speak with deep, honest passion. Journalists speculating on ill-founded rumors should reassess approach.

Good websites demand clarity and credibility – lesser ones enable ill-informed individuals to make stuff up about other people."



Here's a link to the article:

@Cloud_Mario

I can always get amazing games from more serious developers! I love the Mass Effect franchise, but if there are only two sides, one having fans demanding a product meant for them to actually be like they wanted it to be and/or keep the promises that have been made(also, the ME3 thing is false advertising!) and lead developers being unable to accept their mistakes and criticism and another side that has them in their jobs with the gamers spending their money on products which disappoint them without being able to be heard, then I SURELY, fully aware of what I'm saying, choose the first side!

@Entity

You know everyone needs a catchphrase.
Granted that sounds dumb but oh well.

As for ME3, I think people do have the right to complain since they didn't get what they were promised, like 2 games ago, and that was supposed to be the whole point of the series. So they seriously f*cked it up. Like really.

That being said, it doesn't mean it's a bad game, in fact it's still pretty good. It just means developers nowadays should not talk too much about what they want for their games, because they can't afford to be ambitious. Because they HAVE TO satisfy softcore b*tches with great graphics and online gaming that doesn't even really suit the game in the first place, so we all know most of the money is going to be spent on that anyway instead of, you know, do what you want to do with your game as a creator which would actually allow us to experience a little bit of... what's it called again? Ah right, creativity.

I miss that. Creativity.
