I think EA/Bioware are blatantly trolling now.

I was poking fun at how they are misleading the market. WoW pulled similar stuff and I know it isn't anything new. The "typical EA" part was a dig at the shady marketing practices employed when the game was in post production.distortedreality said:
YAY!!!! Yet another thing to justify my complete and utter disgust and hatred of EA. Ya know because I needed more reasons for some psychotic reason.
Yeah Fuck you EA fuck you
In all seriousness maybe now people will finally see that EA does not care about its customers. All their customers are to them are cows with wallets, and maybe just maybe people will stop buying from EA. It's time to wake up people they don't care about you so you shouldn't care about them; you lived without their games before and you'll continue to live without them, so please stop letting them treat you like trash, and don't let them constantly screw you over, speak with your money and tell them to go get fucked!

So if of a hundred game reviewers 75 have given it perfect scores (assuming 10/10, 5/5 whatever other system chosen to be a perfect score) then part one is accurate, and there are plenty of people out there who are not butthurt nerds who have given it perfect scores, thus part one is absolutely correct. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean someone else in a position that actually matters to the gaming industry didn't give it a perfect score.
And the second part is also completely true. Can you name another game that has provoked a bigger fan reaction? Not positive or negative, because it doesn't specify that on the ad, but a 'bigger' reaction from the fans? Yeah, everyone who ever complained about it basically handed them the perfect ad campaign, so well done guys.
I'd call this more retroactive trolling of yourself.

An attitude like that is exactly why EA doesn't have any respect for their customers. It's also why their customers shouldn't deserve any respect.Adam Jensen said:
I personally think the Entertainment Weekly quote is hilarious. I love how it takes all the ridiculous controversy surrounding the game and spins it into a nice bit of positive marketing, which the game deserves a bit more of. Whoever made that poster deserves some kind of trophy.
Couldn't agree more. Like I've heard others say, whatever you may think about the ending and the, in my opinion hyperbolic, reaction to it, it's still nice to see a controversy this large spring up about the expectations for a game's storyline. It's a good change of pace, and I feel like this reflects that a bit.Kingjackl said:
Not to pick on you specifically, but this is a good example of the kind of reaction I'm talking about. Is it really so hard to believe that 75 people had a different opinion then you? I've seen so many people on here jump directly to discrediting the integrity of the reviewers for doing what reviewers do, and doing the same to the creators for having a different idea about how things should be done in what is first and foremost THEIR work. This is the kind of thing that makes us look immature, and the discussion about the ending would be much better off for all sides without it.Stilt said:
To be fair, while I highly doubt (most of) the professional reviewers are not deliberately altering their scores, any score from a site riddled with advertising for the game is suspect. Either way, EA is paying them, thus their objectivity is very much in question. It's one of the unfortunate parts of the current gaming culture. Almost nothing but games advertises on game sites, and you can't get a provably objective review without advertising for the thing being reviewed.Metalix Knightmare said:
Short version: I agree with you that it probably didn't happen, but people are right to wonder.
