Good luck with that as everyone knows EA BioWare games all use Origin nowadays. EA would have to remove the launcher DRM from the game to sell it on GOG.Good to know. Maybe if EA releases the game on GOG I will give it a second chance.

The problem with user rating on metacritic is that because of all the trolls (voting 0) and fanboys (voring 10) you don't get a normal curve, but a bathtub curve.Yeah, I'm sure every one of those 5000+ people were just trolling.
You're forgetting that there are just as many fanboys who are willing to rate certain games 10/10 just because.
If we're talking about a game with a few hundred reviews, then I have no doubt the bottom line can be skewed by enough trolls (or fanboys), but when we're talking about a score averaged over thousands, I'll usually take that over a few dozen critic reviews.

You shouldn't use the average value for such a distribution, but the median.
For the median all the trolls or fanboys wouldn't matter and we'd really had a robust metric.
Ideally, I would like to actually read as many [Metacritic user reviews] as possible
I used to feel that way as well, Silver, that if Electronic Arts put their products on great old games, I'd likely at least try them out. Nowadays though, I hear so much negativity about their games from friends and family that I wouldn't even try them were they available via GoG or steam.
DA2 was an average RPG that reused content & suffered from a short development cycle. ME:A was an improvement over past games but had it's own problems on release.I never played ME3 or ME:A. I enjoyed DA2, though I admit there were serious issues with it, giant corners were cut and it should have been better.
Ah you mean the guy who ruined Mass Effect and Anthem? If so yeah…econd, I have a lot more faith in Casey Hudson than most on these forums
It would have to be at spectacular levels of shit for me not to buy this game really.

Well it was his project before he left BioWare and he returned to finish it. His meddling in the Mass Effect series is well know also due to interviews with past employees.Anthem was ruined the day they decided to make it an arcade-style shooter.
Not every new RPG has to be a live service open world game.I miss linear games. Don’t get me wrong, I like The Witcher 3, Breath of the Wild, and Bloodborne as much as the next guy. But what ever happened to the plethora of hand-holding, mollycoddling games of the early 2000’s and 90’s? I’m talking about Valve classics like Half-life and Portal. I’m talking about classic FPS’s like Halo. Heck, I’m talking about the original God of War games. Remember when those used to guide you on a strict, point A to point B path? Been a while, hasn’t it?
Statements like that are the reason why you're not CEO with millions as yearly bonus paycheck.Not every new RPG has to be a live service open world game.
Good look at what happens to you.:lol:Statements like that are the reason why you're not CEO with millions as yearly bonus paycheck.
