@kratospete The baptism doesn't make him forget. Going through a tear does (remember what happens to the chinese manufacturer), as it is explained by the Luteces near the end (you replace old memories by new ones, which doesnt exclude the possibility of conflict). You play Booker, so it means you have rejected baptism and lived your whole life with regret. In another dimension you have Comstock, which is yourself after having accepted baptism. Only in this alternate reality, you become INFERTILE (that's the reason). That's why Comstock decides to use the Luteces technology in order to go into Bookers alternate reality to steal/or convinve him to give up (depending on which version of reality you are) his baby (ana/elizabeth) which is, in some way, of the same genetic composition as Comstock...because Booker is Comstock...That makes Ana/Elizabeth, a rightful heir to the "throne".
If Sony is planning on a later release for Europe and Australia, then they're already losing a big chuck of the market. And considering their previous history on console releases it's not just a matter of days but more likely a matter of months. I don't care what it takes from their part, but being this exclusive in these days is just folly. I personally find it almost offensive from their part. Don't tell me there is legislation that prevents worldwide shipping. If anything, this means that Sony is rushing the release and due to construction delays, they won't have enough consoles to respond to Global Demand. If all of this is confirmed on February 20...Bad Sony.
Mass Effect IS Shepard and leaving him out of ME4 it would be disregarding every emotional ties gamers built with his persona - and the all the characters surrounding him- during the course of the mass effect trilogy. If we assume that ME4 is a sequel, a few things must be addressed. First of all, it should be made clear weather Sheapard lived or died. If he lived then he has to make an appearance, and if he died, they must emphasize his legacy.
I feel quite sad that they decided to leave him out of ME4, almost like nostalgia before hand. I really liked him and the game wouldn't be the same without.
