I really don't get the hate against gamespot, they are just recapping all the info that is available online. If this destroys the illusions some people held about the situation, then to bad. As to Bioware, they bought some breathing time, BUT the damage is done. People used to give them slack due to their past games hoping they would take some ques from them. But now it looks you can get better entertainment suiting for your taste through kickstarter. Instead having to go through another AAA+ popamole/"action rpg" that wont even provide a entertaining end. Hell you have Binary Domain that almost similar to ME save for certain things. As to DA2 why couldn't it be similar to Drakensang River Of Time, while maintaining faster paced combat? Because somebody saw that ME sold, so why not tempt the same player base to DA2 since its almost like ME. EA money milking in action.
Nice timing EA and good example why single player games don't need always online crutch. Same problem with Ubi to, but they offer more comedy value with every crazy DRM idea they come up with.
@YellowSockGuy Saints Row 2 is a mix of San Andreas and Just Cause together. It basically continued the path started in San Andreas while GTA4 went more serious approach. Meaning it didn't take itself to seriously, was fun to play, lots of chaos and mayhem. What made it even better was the recently released Gentlemen of the Row Saints Row 2 Super Mod, it just amplifies the whole GTA experience.
To be honest GTA4 wasnt that bad, it was better then 3 for sure. But as mentioned San Andreas and Vice City had something special and I think you can find the same elements in Saints Row 2 to. Still I recall when 1st GTA came out, it was amusing as hell, definetly stood out with its missions, like deliver truck beneath police station and see it blow up.
