    We didn't pull this out of our butts. It's pretty plain to see, so I'm wondering what you're missing.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Lol, Bioware tells EA they need more time, and EA tells everyone that everything is fine, they are just making it better, therefor it will be a disaster.

    As Strike once told me, learn some critical thinking. Video games are now "products" and EA have shareholders and stocks that they want to appease and go up respectively. When any sort of product is delayed, there is always some suit coming out from HR telling everyone that everything is fine.

    If the guy in the suit said, the game wasn't finished so we needed more time, that makes Bioware and EA look bad to investors and hurts the stock options.

    Mass appeal and complexity are not mutually exclusive. You don't know what you are talking about. I'm sorry, but I didn't realize that ME1 was such a failure, what with it's complexity and all.

    I guess Fallout and the Elder Scrolls have been terrible, terrible failures because of their complexity. If only they were completely simplified to a 5 year old level like the Fable series, I am sure they would have been just as loved by the gaming community as Fable 2/3 were right?

    Whine, whine, whine is all what seems to come from gamers today. Let's all boycott MW2, that will show them! Oh wait, but I still want to play it... Oh well, Imma continue to ***** anyway.

    Like I said, calm down, and yes you really are pulling it out of your butts. There have been plenty of huge failures by game developers in the past, but now you guys are sharks jumping on everyone and everything as if gaming has committed a sin against you for trying to strike a balance between the hardcore and the casual like every other market in the history of capitalism.

    EDIT: Also congratulations on completely ignoring the majority of my post that included an article revealing that they are adding more complexity into the game with weapon modifications.
