    Masterful troll move. I'm sure this Nate fellow knows they don't really owe him an apology, but as a corporation this still puts them in an awkward position, and he's milking it for all he can get.

    Actually the ME franchise is quite racist and sexist despite all the pandering, it's all amount to a blond Aryan Guy fucking in the ass all of his crew, that is almost entirely composed by minorities..

    I think it's a really stupid and unpleasant affair, but I'm not sure a bizarre mob pile-on like this would have happened if the industry actually had some respectable gaming critics around to take developers, professionally and articulately, to task for spouting laughable nonsense like this to justify themselves. That Beckett quote makes me angrier than words can say.

    After I read that Sterling bloke saying he 'wasn't a fan' of Bioware's stories, I googled to see if he'd reviewed the second Dragon Age. It turned out he hadn't liked the first one, so they gave the review to another journalist who they thought would enjoy it more. It's idiotic and cowardly. And so we don't have mainstream articles pointing out that slews of anachronistic over-sexed fourth-wall-breaking jokes are an odd fit with an allegedly dark fantasy world, or that a story-driven game with a single contrived ending but heterosexual, homosexual, love and hate variations on four different romance options has its priorities all wrong. Instead, we get '94%: Darker. Sexier. Better', there's no proper critical voice to challenge developers' bullshit, all the players' irritation just bubbles up on forums, and the big lady with thick spectacles who was videoed gushing about the thrilling depth and variety of their virtual sex-games makes for an obvious target.

    Samuel fucking Beckett comes to mind...

    lolthread? Really?

    Think that is funny? There is actually one comment on twitter asking if she already killed herself!

    This thread has crossed the line, particularly racofer's comment above! If you don't see that, you are just like all the other idiots on here!

    Oh cry me a fucking river. You come in here quoting the codex's slogan yet you can't even bother to read a few pages back and realize in what sort of thread you are posting. If I offend your fragile feelings, get the hell out of here. The sort of stuff being discussed in here is quite "light" in contrast to other shit that goes down in GD.

    Yet you act all butthurt now as if I had touched a nerve. Got bullied much during high school, shithead? Are you feeling some kind of empathy towards miss hepler that you feel personally assaulted by my posts?

    (post in question is a screenshot of some guy's twitter)

    RPG Codex >doesn't scale to your level indeed.

    I don't understand why people vent about writing in games so much. The only game I know of that is above terrible in terms of writing is Planescape: Torment.
    On the other hand, Bioware kinda brought it upon themselves; by catering their games towards retards and marketing their story as prime selling point they now have to deal with retards complaining about the story.

    And this is why social media that connect us in any way to the company (twitter, facebook, whatever) are banned at any sensible company, such as where I work. It's ok that people are jerks - that can't be helped - but don't drag your company down with you.

    I think he's a sockpuppet of BioWare Gestapo and Head of Shitematics JohnElper. They both used the word "hominem" within 24 hours of each other.

    Can't wait to seed the shit out of ME3.

    And by seed I mean ejaculate into the DVD case, seal it with my woven pubic hair and blood and mail it to THE DOCTORS.

    Not sure if posted, but: It's raining SHEPARDS!!!


    • http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115885-EA-Launches-Mass-Effect-3-Discs-into-Space

      A few copies of Mass Effect 3 are heading into space, and EA isn't responsible if they bring the Reapers back with them.
      How far would you be willing to go to play Mass Effect 3 early? Many people jumped at the chance to download the newly available demo, while others will likely stay out late for a midnight release at their local game shops, or hope against hope that Amazon ships out a few early copies. However, six extremely impatient fans won't have to wait until March 6, provided they don't mind doing some legwork. Next week, publisher Electronic Arts will launch six copies of Mass Effect 3 into space. Fans will be able to track their descent back to Earth's surface and, with a little luck, pick up a free copy of the game well in advance of its official release.
      Within the next seven days, EA will launch six weather balloons bearing copies of Mass Effect 3 over the cities of New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Berlin, London, and Paris. By monitoring the Mass Effect official website and Twitter account, fans can track the games' movement via GPS over the cities and out into the world beyond. Whoever arrives to the landing zone first can claim the game, although EA does not specify whether it is launching PC, 360, or PS3 versions of the games. One must also wonder what will happen if the game lands in water - you know, that stuff that covers 70% of Earth's surface.
      While these balloons will not leave Earth's gravitational field (or even come anywhere close), they will technically arrive in the upper atmosphere, otherwise known as "near space." Weather balloons routinely reach heights of 90,000 feet or more, placing them well into the stratosphere, and can maintain this altitude for hours at a time. While it's not quite the system-hopping galactic exploration that has become almost synonymous with Mass Effect, it's still the closest that any game in the series has come to the distant star systems and planets it routinely depicts.
      Whether you want to chase after a falling weather balloon for an early copy of a game that's only a few weeks away will largely depend on how much you like Mass Effect, and what your other plans for that day may be. If you do decide to pursue one of these games, just hope with all your heart that the hostile alien life is confined to the game itself; extremophlic life forms from near space can be really problematic.

    Was posted. We assumed that people who are big into geocaching and taxidermy are going to murder all the Bileware tards that go out hunting for these things.

    I think the more logical explanation is that he is a dashing white prince upset at (y)our horrible misogynistic ways. Certainly that's no way to tweet a lady. No need to assume that he works for Bioware.

    Hepler looks like a tramp. Hepler talks like a tramp. Hepler writes like a tramp. Chances are, Hepler is a tramp.

    I find funny how they are able to shut down any criticism by just pointing how immature the "gamers" are... like that has anything to do with how fucking shitty their games are and how inappropriate their focus on badly written romances by ugly fat women (with this I'm referring to the male developers too) is
