Bioware, are you taking the piss?

Not only do I wait fucking 10 years for a conclusion to KOTOR's plotline only to be offered a bloody MMO, but you make me kill my main character from the 1st game AND HK-47!? Is Bioware trying to troll its fanbase that have been waiting a decade by killing 2 fan favourites and making us pay monthly for a WOW clone?! This is not fan-service Bioware, after DA2 I hoped you would get your act together. I swear ME3 is the last game i'll buy from you.

 

[Dandark]

Didn't you hear? Bioware is dead. They were dragged into a dark alley and brutally beaten to death by EA who then stripped them and started wearing it's their clothes. Then they started passing those clothes out between their friends.

Also please put spoilers in the title next time, by the time people see your spoiler warning they could have easily read past it by accident.

 

[Zhukov]

So.. you hate them so much that you're going to buy their next game?

Yup, that'll show 'em.

 

[lapan]

I won't buy ME3, but that has more to do with EAs horrible customer support than with Bioware.

 

[cthulhuspawn82]

I hate when non-MMO games get turned into MMOs, it effectively kills the storyline for good. There will never be a KOTOR 3 for the same reason there will never be a Warcraft 4. New stories cant start until the old ones end, and MMOs never end.

 

[demotion1]

You do not kill Revan he vanishes before he is dead. Also, HK-47 has been destroyed again so he could be resurrected again in the future.

On the other hand, i would rather they did not put these 2 characters in the game.

This. Everyone loves to rage about stuff like this but in the end, they don't show their opinion in the one way that matters, by not buying their games.

Weekend at Bioware's: Next on the B-Movie knockoff channel.

HAHAHA, yeah right. One dude not buying something will DEFINITELY show someone who has no idea that dude even exists.

You are completely missing the entire point. As a consumer, the only way you let companies know how you feel about them is by not purchasing their product. If enough people do this and the companies profits begin to suffer, they are forced to look at the problem and decide on a course of action. I am not saying Bioware is going to notice a single person not purchasing their product. The whole idea is that posting on forums whining about it and then buying the game anyway does nothing. If you don't like it, don't buy it. As a consumer, that is the only way.
By the way, I can't stand the mentality you have, "I shouldn't bother doing anything, because no one will notice." Terrible mentality to have, you should try and get rid of it.

Yes, because only one person has ever whined about the things this topic is whining about.

Wow, don't mark it as spoiler or anything! I'm sure everyone would prefer not to find that out for themselves and get the tingly, nostalgia feeling. To address your complaints, including spoilers considering you've already opened this can of worms:

- They could have written all KotOR cast off as dead considering the time period. I personally loved the slow revelations during my first trip to the Foundry. You've deprived other players of that now. Bravo.
- HK-47 makes a re-appearance later on
- Your "main character" doesn't actually die, he disappears.
- Are you seriously condemning BioWare for this? Trolling their fanbase? You didn't like a single plot development and it's become a conspiracy to alienate their fans? Wow, you've gotta look at your priorities.

Condemn BioWare for letting EA screw ME3 up so much with Origin, turning a sci-fi RPG into a multiplayer cover-based shooter with "broad mass market appeal". I will back you up 100% on that because you'd be right.

 

[Versuvius]

No interest in Star Wars outside of KOTOR1 and 2, so i won't be subscribing (Especially with the bans being thrown out left right and center for finding and using bugs, which is pathetic) and how EA generally behaves (Banning players for nonexistant forum infarctions and removing all their games). This applies to ME3 and any future title Bioware/EA releases until their practices dramatically improve, which i fucking doubt will happen.

And that is why you don't buy their games, if everyone who didn't like the corporate shaft did this, then EA wouldn't have much business would they?

Could you put "conclusion of KOTOR's plotline" into an argument that actually makes sense please?
Neither KOTORs were directly related to one another, it's more of a setting.

Have you been living as if the third one is to be a sequel to any of them?

I like this. Bioware is like the Edgar-suit in Men In Black. EA is a bloodthirsty monstrosity walking around and doing evil in a Bioware-suit. Don't weep for Bioware, it's already dead.

I was on the fence about ME3 till recently. I, too, have proclaimed Mass Effect 3 to be their last chance and probably the last product I'll ever buy of them. But I'd only be giving my money to a Bioware that no longer exists. I will not complete the trilogy. I've better things to do. It's a shame, but so it goes.

Not that I do this but I believe some people pirate in the name of justice. The best way to get a company to change their minds is by hitting them in their wallets by making sure they don't receive money through boycott or piracy.

Its pretty well established that he teleported away at 2% hp. I am more pissed that they retconned his fall and a bunch of other things in Kotor I, but especially Kotor II.
