The truth
is, I am more inclined to be pleased than displeased when it comes to the games
and DLC of Mass Effect. Yes, I may
complain, but when it comes down to it, time after time, I have parted
with my hard-earned cash to get BioWare’s latest release for the series without hesitation. And I never listen to “professional” critics. However, with the news that BioWare is working on a fourth Mass Effect Game as well as a new Intellectual Property (IP), given the present handling of the Mass Effect 3 ending, I am disinclined to contribute to the financial well-being of BioWare/EA until YouTube walkthroughs
of these games are made available. After countless hours of playing, I liken my relationship with the Mass
Effect Trilogy development team as that with a beloved sibling: I may not always agree with their
decisions, but I love them, anyway. That relationship does not necessarily extend to the new Mass Effect or toward the
new IP.
If the current development
team at BioWare inherited an excellent IP, only to ruin it in the end, I have
little faith in their ability to create an entirely new IP from the ground up. The fact they consider it a disservice to the new Mass Effect game by referring to it as Mass Effect 4, is a plaintive, but ultimately futile, appeal to not allow the controversy associated with the Mass Effect 3 ending affect sales of BioWare's next foray into the Mass Effect universe. This is of particular significance since EA has most recently posted 3rd quarter losses and may continue to do so.
So
BioWare, prove me wrong. Bring
back the mounting excitement as we near release day and the heady feeling of
extravagance as I pay full price in order to be one of the privileged to play
your latest release first; because after this last DLC, I may never feel that
way again.
