It seems like they're losing a more valuable market (imho) for the larger one. Fox and Ravens Send a noteboard - 05/05/2011 09:03:48 PM
When asked about the delay, EA boss John Riccitiello said, "Essentially, step by step, [BioWare is] adjusting some of the gameplay mechanics and some of the features that you'll see at E3 that can put this into a genre equivalent of shooter-meets-RPG, and essentially address a far larger market opportunity than Mass Effect 1 did and Mass Effect 2 began to approach."


Because after reading that, I've pretty much lost all interest in the game, so now I no longer need to concern myself with it, until I find it in the discount bin. But couldn't they adjust it to be more of an rpg, just for once? But I guess not.


They want to expand and have it reach move people as a shooter while we, who loved the first ME and would rather see the big RPG elements return, will be left by the wayside. I always feel like it's best to stay true to fans who supported the game in the beginning and the heavy RPGers than to kick them out of the way.
Go Hokies!

CS/CpE. Yay engineering!

ME3 delayed. KingGeedorah - 04/05/2011 11:51:04 PM 894 Views
For a second, I thought they were adding content. Then I realized it was Bioware. Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 12:40:27 AM 622 Views

ME3 will fully morph three genres: RPG, Shooter and Bejeweled. Zalis - 05/05/2011 02:23:13 PM 537 Views
agreed KingGeedorah - 23/05/2011 04:19:48 AM 700 Views
That is not what Zalis was saying. At all. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 23/05/2011 04:37:28 AM 243 Views
I'm in agreement with the delay towards making the game more shooter friendly... KingGeedorah - 23/05/2011 09:51:38 AM 529 Views
I do love it A Deathwatch Guard - 05/05/2011 08:42:09 PM 527 Views

I don't understand. Aemon - 06/05/2011 05:19:42 AM 524 Views
I'm a pessimist; I believe things are constantly getting worse A Deathwatch Guard - 06/05/2011 05:40:38 AM 597 Views
Yeah, they're saving me sixty bucks with comments like the one in the link... lilltempest - 23/05/2011 05:51:35 PM 844 Views
I gotta agree with one of the comments in there ironclad - 23/05/2011 09:47:54 PM 610 Views
But that comment is someone's interpretation, not what they're actually doing A Deathwatch Guard - 24/05/2011 05:38:00 AM 809 Views
Bummer *NM* ironclad - 05/05/2011 09:16:06 AM 254 Views
I think they realized that if they brought out ME3 anytime aournd Skyrim, no one would care. *NM* MightyYT - 05/05/2011 06:59:31 PM 239 Views
Too late A Deathwatch Guard - 05/05/2011 08:38:29 PM 558 Views
Releasing at the same time as Skyrim wouldn't hurt it too much. The only ones they'd lose out on... lord-of-shadow - 05/05/2011 08:49:16 PM 576 Views

Nah. I love RPGs, but I'm okay with the series not being a "real" RPG. Zalis - 05/05/2011 10:02:35 PM 565 Views
Same *NM* ironclad - 07/05/2011 02:39:53 PM 287 Views
I'm ok with it as well. To a certain extent. lord-of-shadow - 05/05/2011 10:18:24 PM 702 Views
E3 anticipations... KingGeedorah - 05/05/2011 10:10:29 PM 743 Views
Skill trees don't concern me. The ability to make meaningful decisions concerns me. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 10:25:14 PM 267 Views
Is it bad... Jeordam - 05/05/2011 10:42:31 PM 656 Views
It shows that you are a gentleman of discerning taste. Ghavrel - 06/05/2011 02:49:39 AM 573 Views
Still playing thru DArigins, I'd say it plays more like KotOR than Baldur's Gate. Zalis - 06/05/2011 03:20:49 PM 556 Views
hope you're playing it on the computer. KingGeedorah - 07/05/2011 03:48:59 PM 568 Views
Yep-on the PC. The removal of the strategic cam view sounds obnoxious in DA2. Probably won't play. *NM* Zalis - 07/05/2011 04:57:02 PM 286 Views
Only removed on console versions. PC version still has it. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 09/05/2011 05:58:52 AM 243 Views

That was going to be my question too. *NM* Jacob - 10/05/2011 06:07:48 PM 244 Views
to me (though there's probably another word for it) Foxhead - 10/05/2011 10:47:18 PM 724 Views
I am far more interested in a quite a few games that'll be out toward the end of 2011 Jacob - 10/05/2011 06:10:02 PM 531 Views
