I'm glad we have the option to use point cards and live subscription cards instead of only credit cards.

We're being assaulted from all sides and people will need to learn to be take extra care when selling their laptops, cell phones, and consoles.

That being said hopefully MS gets to the bottom of this and corrects any mistakes, if there were even any made in the first place.

So when does the exclusivity deal for the NFL on PS3 end? I have multiple Xboxes waiting for some grid iron goodness.

@CleanUndies

I think this game is different enough in theme from most MMOs (which are medieval fantasy) to find a niche. If anything this game will be switching to a free-2-play model in a few months, rather than shutting down completely.

I plan on getting it on release as I like how they tried to do something different at least, most of which is right up my alley.

There are bigger plot holes to be addressed, Ones that aren't variable like the one you described.

I'd rather they explain their ending based on the logic they establish in the universe rather than force "and everyone lived happily ever after" on us.

We don't even get an inkling of what happened to cast members who were still alive at the end. So yeah, at least give us a Fallout 3 style slideshow...

@chum

They'll be OK. Like any modern MMO they get some up front cash through subs that will float them until they can transition into a free-2-play model.

It's different enough from the truck load of fantasy MMOs to find a niche.

@Ryujin

It's not about the fact that its not a "happy" ending.

It's about the fact that things literally don't make sense. If I were to say to you that I'm going to kick you in the nuts to save you from being kicked in the nuts how much sense does that make to you? That is exactly the scenario that is presented to you at the end of ME3.

Not to mention that people aren't were they are supposed to be during the final cut scene just so they can be put in a dangerous situation.

And that's not even considering that all three of the "final" choices lead to a slow death for the majority of galactic civilization even though the Reapers are no longer in play...

I didn't know this! I was thinking about renting the Xbox version and doing a non-rebel play-through. But now I can just do it with the updated PC version I already have. Sweet

@Cranky Penguin

I bought SOL Exodus out of support too. Thing is I've played the two space-flight-sims that came out on the Xbox this generation (Project Slypheed & Darkstar One). And while those games were mediocre at best they controlled way better than SOL Exodus.

What I'm saying is if a decent budget was ever put behind a space-flight-game it could absolutely be good and enjoyable with a controller (maybe even approaching wing commander and free space good).

@Scuba Steve

MS didn't force Bioware to do it.
No-headset voice recognition > headset voice recognition. More people can be comfortable with, and actually understand how to use, Kinect's mic than any headset (basically people who don't read Joystiq)

And while your mileage may vary I have been presently surprised at how my Kinect picks up my voice 99% of the time. It's mile ahead of the voice tech I was using with a PC a decade ago anyway.

If this is the future I'm all for it. Do you remember anybody in Star Trek trying to remember where they stashed their headset so they could interact with the computer? Hell no.

@Donau

I have to disagree. I like RTS but no genre has been abandoned as much this generation as space-combat. That's the part of this game I 'm really looking forward to...
