I think most people are angry because:

1. It was the last thing they showed, and it was pretty hyped up beforehand.
2. Mobile games are notorious for microtransactions.
3. They put the core story into it.
4. It looks like a complete reskin from the company they contracted to develop it.
5. It was the completely wrong audience to market a mobile game to, without at least a follow-up teaser or something.

I know I was totally burned by Diablo 3 in regards of the auction house - again with Blizzard trying to milk money from people, and now they're trying it again (I'm assuming). I mean, I know I'd be pissed. Especially with some gaming outlets trying to put down the customers? Are they serious?

Has anyone else gone back and started playing some of TB's recommended games? I just grabbed Titanfall 2 off EA Access, and man, I'm completely enthralled with the gameplay! The story is pretty throw away, but other than that.

I know he was in hospice care, but man... this still came so sudden it's really hard to believe. R.I.P. John, and my thoughts go out to your family. You will be missed my friend...

@captainkao: Hey, I never got to thank you. That totally worked for me.

Next gen S.W.A.T. 4. Executing synchronized door breaches, timing flashbangs, etc. Don't make Online Co-op the main focus of the game. As far as story, I couldn't really care less. I think a domestic (inside the U.S.) would be interesting, depending on how they did it.

I would love to see the beast crew do a QL on this. While it runs fine most of the time - if they happened to run into something really janky though... oh man. You could rest assured hilarity would ensue. Maybe they're waiting on the patch release set for next week? At any rate, I'd love to hear their thoughts on it. Especially Vinny.

I can't get enough of this game. It almost breaks every preconception I have about what a realistic RPG is. Although, if I had one gripe, it would be the hunger system. I mean, you eat 3 apples and you're still hungry? Get off it...

Has anyone had an issue with Surround sound not working properly on PC? I've noticed when an NPC is talking and I swing around, so that they're either on the side of me, or behind me, it's very muted or cuts off completely.

@deathstriker:Hmmm, maybe I should go back and play ME1 because I think I may have a "rose tinted view" a bit.

I totally agree, Kayden was just sort of there, and Ashley was the love interest, but her story and personality were interesting and engaging to me. And her racist thing did turn me off a bit, but I don't remember what redeemed her from that for me, though. Again, I'll have to replay it to see exactly where and how that comes up. I'm currently playing through ME2 so I can be caught up to where that ends, and Andromeda begins.

I honestly don't know why it's not striking me the same way, and I REALLY REALLY wish it was because I LOVE Mass Effect, and a huge sucker for space oppera's! So for me, it's not about "hating" on the game, it's more like...

Man, this game seems bland to me. Granted I'm only 3 hours in, but there's really nothing compelling about your squadmates to me. Especially Scott Ryder, g'lord he seems way too wet behind the ears to even be on this expedition. Then suddenly, BAM! you're the Pathfinder? Ok, what does that mean? Everyone you interact with acts like it's the most important roll ever, but again, why?

The reason I gripe about them suddenly throwing you into that role, because it has zero impact as far as importance. In the original trilogy, when you became a Spectre, you had to work for it, you knew what it meant, and you held the title with respect because of it.

I don't know, Bioware seems to have lost their flair for compelling story telling.
