Also, the best way to generate revenue is to compete with yourself.

Bioware competes with their mother company EA Games.

Speaking of DLC Borderlands would like a word with you !

Could use some more DLC for the Presequel. I enjoyed it all right but it honestly got stale a little faster than Borderlands 2 did.

The ME3 ending took 100+ hours of playtime and made it mean absolutely nothing. It was a terrible ending to the story and fans were right to riot.

Mass Effect debacle

Which debacle is that? The one where fans threw one collective giant hissy fit because the ending wasn't everything they wanted it to be? Except they all wanted it to be something different?

I dislike EA's business practices as much as the next guy, but I'm somewhat critical of Bioware having caved and changed their artistic vision because of some very loud whiners.

I think it sets a terrible precident.

Let's be honest. Gamers are a pretty entitled bunch.

That was caused by marketing spin. If Bioware hadn't made all these huge promises about the grand finale to Mass Effect, people wouldn't have been so annoyed when the game ended on a RBG choice that satisfied no one.

Gamers are entitled but moreso in the AAA arena is way too much hype put behind a product that then fails to live up to the unrealistic expectations asked of it. Worse still when people are dropping a mint for these titles in both DLC and pre-orders.

Just don't support Gamestop / pre orders. And used games in general but I think we discussed that before.

It wasn't terrible. See, this is what gets me mad. The people who thought it was terrible were very vocal. But was it even a simple majority of players?

Personally, I liked the ending. Quite a bit. I get that people were upset that a lot more of the decisions made over the course of the career didn't factor in as much as they would have liked, but the absolutely bitchfest wasn't warranted either. And as I said, I think that beyond the scope of that one game, it sets a terrible precident.

Seriously. SciFi/gamer fanboys/girls (of which I am one and am guilty of myself at times with other franchies) have such lofty expectations with or without any marketing hype that we are hypercritical of our beloved franchises until we don't love them anymore, we just feel a dedication for something that never was as awesome as we've worked it up to be in our rose-colored glasses of nostalgia.

Plenty of women play games. Most of them are just smart enough not to waste their time bantering on internet forums about ***that doesn't matter. :p

Horror games aren't my thing but the first two games were 3 and 5 bucks last week. And the newest is 8 bucks.

Even if its a pile of ***to you, its still a total of 20 for a trilogy. Yeah.

But do they have the mass appeal of a 10 year old video game forum though !

We are talking maybe 200 people a day visiting the forums !

Getting older changes a guy, President Barack Obama says, and he admits he's getting crankier.

"Next week I'm signing an executive order to get off my lawn," Obama joked Saturday night at the Gridiron Club and Foundation's annual dinner. On top of that, the nation's graying chief executive says he's having trouble now with his morning cup of joe. "Coffee really disagrees with me these days," he says, "which is why John Boehner just invited coffee to address the joint House."

Obama's standup routine drew laughs from the audience of more than 650 journalists, lawmakers, administration officials, military officials and others at the Gridiron's 130th gathering. By tradition, Washington insiders put aside their differences for an evening of laughter, schmoozing and charity fundraising.

With the president providing the gibes on behalf of his administration, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe sharpened their wits for the Republicans and Democrats, respectively. Walker is considering a run for the GOP nomination for president while McAuliffe's political connections extend to his work as Democratic Party chairman and Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton ally.

Obama targeted himself — "Just a few years ago I couldn't imagine being in my 50s. Given my approval ratings, I still can't" — as well as people in the government and the media that cover it.

Noting that Walker remarked recently that he couldn't say whether Obama was a Christian, the president said his religion taught forgiveness and cracked, "So, Gov. Walker, salaam alaikum."

Obama said he generally likes Boehner, the House speaker, and noted talk of unhappy House Republicans planning a coup — "or as Bill O'Reilly calls it, 'reporting from the war zone.'"

Walker got in his own digs. "I believe that the president of the United States loves America and every American — except Rudy Giuliani." He also joked about his failure to finish his college degree as he envisioned himself in the White House: "If my first term is anything like college, I won't make it through four years."

McAuliffe joined others in needling the presidential ambitions of Hillary Clinton. "If Hillary decides not to run ... I decided not to finish that joke," he said. He also joked, "Are any of the Secret Service sober enough to drive me home?"

The Gridiron Club and Foundation, founded in 1885, has drawn every president after Grover Cleveland to its annual dinner at least once. Obama made his third appearance, having attended in 2011 and 2013.
