BioWare: Mass Effect 2 our best game ever
Jonah Falcon
BioWare is touting that Mass Effect 2 is the best game they've ever
produced, which is pretty strong words coming from a developer who made
Baldur's Gate, Knights of the Old Republic and the recent Dragon Age:
Origins.

Do you honestly expect them to say anything else? How good would
*this* sound during promotional interviews and press releases:
"Mass Effect 2 is good, but not as good as anything else we've ever
created. Next to Baldur's Gate and KOTOR, it's... eh..."

Heh heh.
"We lowered the bar for this one, folks. We realized our standards were
too high on our other games."
OMG, the stuff that gets posted here.

You've basically quoted someone else's work (either with or without
permission) then put a few lines of you're opinion. Why do you feel the
need to put this on a website let alone spam it to Usenet?

You're making assumptions.
1. I wrote: We're write this off as "New Game Hype", until Mass Effect 2
proves it.
2. This is BioWare, not JoWood. If they say this, then it must have turned
out as planned, or maybe better. I'd say it's minimum Jade Empire level -
and JE was damned good.

Grammatical flaws aside, these two statements are in direct contradiction to
each other.

Same thing happens with bands when they're promoting a new album.
"St. Anger is our best album yet! Even better than Master of
Puppets!".

I wasn't commenting on your Game Stooge article. Honestly, I hadn't
even read it. I was just reacting to what you said were BioWare's
comments.

Again, I ask whether you honestly think a game company would not say
that their latest game is awesome, if not the greatest game they've
ever made?

Not got a response Jonah? I see you've posted to other threads in this
group. Is this yet one more blatant accentuation of your lack of
understand of the English language? I love the way you always just
ignore posts that make you look stupid. Is it because you don't have the
time to respond to them all because there are just so many of them?

No shit BigN!
ummm here at Bioware we are satisified with ME2 but we really could
have and should have done more. *rolls-eyes*
Turn 10 - Forza is the DEFINITIVE end all to be ALL! (Fantastic racer
but deinfitive at nothing!)
Infinity Ward - MW2 will be the best ever! (<- 2nd most glitch ridden
game made this generation)
Epic - Gears of War 2 is Bigger, Better and more Badass! (<- turned
out to be complete GARBAGE and arguably the most glitch ridden game
this gen if not tied for first with the original!)
EA - Every year Madden will be yadda yadda. (What ever)
Same shit different day. Wake me when it gets here because the first
one could have used 6 to 9 months (a sad trend with MS exclusives) of
polish before being released.

...until they release their next game. Then that will be the greatest
game they've ever released.

One could hope that BioWare learned their lesson with the sequel...
especially since they developed it under the auspices of Electronic
Arts, who aren't going to be as willing to release a half-finished
product...

Not at all. It's called "giving them the benefit of the doubt", and also,
"better than KOTOR, Baldur's Gate, etc? We'll believe it when we see it".
They're NOT mutually exclusive.

You really don't understand your native language do you.

They were careful not to say anything too conceited about Jade Empire
because it was their first real foray into creating a game that was
completely their own instead of piggybacking off an established
license.
