@SaltyMeatballs For the same reason people review MMOs. Sure, when an MMO launches, it's out of beta, but even before the first official expansion is released, an MMO on day 1 and an MMO even 1 year later is usually something totally different, and the problems with the game at the start may no longer be there. Take this review, as any, with a grain of salt. But if you're going to debate semantics, you might want to broaden your argument.
@The_Gump @DanteReal69 Uh...they're both highly stylized, over-the-top hack and slash games with moody protagonists, excessive violence, and a combo system. You can't really ask for better grounds for comparison.
@juiceair You know GOTY editions only come out once games are nominated or win game of the year awards, which always happen at the end of the year, right? So, "few months" is more like a year.
Why do you and Colin Moriarty of IGN both fail to see exactly why the fans are upset? If you're that ignorant or blind to the reason, stop writing articles in defense of Bioware. We don't hate the ending because it was necessarily bad, that's only a side-effect of the reason we truly hate it. We hate it because it completely abandons the notion of choice and consequence that the series has, up till that point, relied upon. I think I speak for most fans when I say that we'd be content with a "bad" ending as long as it mattered based on our choices. But what we got, instead, was something that completely ignored everything we've done in the previous two games. That's not just bad writing or poor planning, it's an insult to the fans who actually cherished the choices they made and felt moved by many of the consequences. It's a blatant disregard to everything the fans have done.
