I'm pumped!

In celebration, Dark Souls is about to get some loving affection from my console.

Hey, at least those one billion hours were used creatively.

Those one billion hours could've have been wasted on Call of Duty or Vampire Rain.

@MoronGotMyName ...there are many more ugly faces of tyranny.

But, I agree: she does have one ugly face.

@Shango4 @Thrazewolf Sadly, it probably will.

Due to an abundant of irritating issues: DRM, Day-one downloadable content, on-disc downloadable content, microtransactions, abysmal ending, single-player relying on multiplayer...I could go on...

It's all about the money, now, when will it be about the customer?

It's a shame to see Mass Effect gone down the path it shouldn't have.

...just like Dragon Age.

Here's to hoping the next Mass Effect isn't a steaming pile of absolute shit...

Rumors. Rumors. Rumors.

I'll believe it when it happens.

I'm looking forward to picking this gem up.

...and I'm still having fun with its predecessor: The Eight Pages

@Commander_Snowy Companies, such as this one, want to branch out from their comfort zone. At least, that's how I feel.

I don't, quite, understand why the inclusion of a multi-player component feels necessary at this point. To me, every-time I start a game with multi-player: it feels so stale, lifeless, and well...boring.

If game companies stopped working on multiplayer projects, and focused entirely on single-player: imagine the potential.

ex. BioShock Infinite

I'd rather Battlefront III never be released, than EA taking LucasArts and adding Battlefront III to the growing "series-we-have-intentionally-ruined" list.

...I wish I was there to give them the Golden Poo award.

I miss the days when you purchased a title, you received the entire game.

...AND if you wanted to expand the longevity of the game, there were REASONABLY PRICED expansion packs that came out at reasonable dates.

I'm not going to spend one of my, hard-earned, dollars on crap avatar items or stupid background themes. Come on, I use the internet for that, and the best part? It's free.

Although, the word free is another topic, or debate, in itself.

Although, to be honest, I had to see them jumping on the bandwagon sooner or later.

I hate trying to condense how I really feel on topics such as these. Because how I really feel on this topic could go on..and on..and on..

Way to get on the consumer's good side, Bethesda.

Keep up the good, scratch that, horrible, work.

UPDATE: Companies should focus more on CRM (customer-relations management) than DRM, Day-one DLC...
