Yeah! You can tell CD Projekt that they can keep the Enhanced Edition because that's not how they originally envisioned the game to be right?
OH YES! I forgot everybody freaking loves those Enhanced Editions... Sorry, sir, I didn't notice your double standards.
Consumers are paying a ridiculous amount of money for their games, they might not always be right, but developers shouldn't hide behind "artistic integrity" shields to flee from the responsibility of consumer satisfaction.
Art shouldn't be rated either, yet that's what GameSpot does, isn't? And many other websites.
The thing is, for years BioWare has had a strong fan-dev connection, and bragged about how they take their fans' opinions very seriously, etc. This brought them revenue, so they had the cake and ate it too. But it's a double-edged sword. If your entire life as a developer revolves around listening to your fans and cattering to them, you SHOULD expect backlash when they end up disappointed with your ending, and you SHOULD NOT be surprised that they're asking for a better one. Bethesda has done it before, and I hope you know that, Mrs. Article Writer, and can't see why it would be such a big deal if BioWare followed.
So GameSpot, unsurprisingly, hasn't done its homework, just like other websites. Way to go, gaming "journalism", you sure try to make the medium look serious, eh? ;) Let's put it this way: Fans, who paid for the game, are demanding a better ending because they think the trilogy deserves better. Eidos, who sponsored you, demanded you to take actions against the guy the reviewed Kane & Lynch, because they couldn't take criticism. So you fired him. What? Did anyone just say hypocrisy?
@ prashanth_ps3 So, by saying that, you're admiting PS3's graphics look worse? I can't see how this comparison could screw the PS3 sales this christmas. The difference isn't even big enough to make a person pick one console over the other. Seriously, you all should be comparing games instead of graphics. Specially when it's up to the developer how the game is going to look and not the console itself.
