JJ Trek? Really? It will just be a footnote in another decade. 10 other movies could easily knock it off this list.

It took 8 months for most of DA2 to be developed.

They were likely testing how cheap they could make an RPG. DA2 had something like an 8 month dev cycle and most certainly cost a fraction of DAO.

Unfair? I think it was in the history of never that a corporation's acquisition of a hot property from a small developer worked out well for gamers.

Tech bubble. It'll pop eventually.

Just a word of warning to the curious, STO is owned by Perfect World International and the f2p (p2w) business model is geared toward attracting casual players who come in, spend a bunch of cash and then leave in 2-3 months. Any longer and you'll start seeing the ugly side of the game.

Damn right! I tried making a manShep, but the voice just did not go with my character — who looked vaguely like Sam Jackson.

Silly human, "girl action figures don't sell." Or some other nonsense.

Speaking only for myself, I preordered DAO because of the "successor to Baldur's Gate" hype. And I was pleased. I preordered DA2 because I liked DAO so much.

He probably means the second team who worked on ME. The original guys were writing a pretty solid trilogy.

Varric is a Gary Stu

When, in the middle of the finale, some Grey Wardens run through town and they say they're on a quest to do something important and can't help with the Earth Alliance/Telepath War and you beg to join them because what they're doing sounds way cooler than what the game makers are forcing you to do — something's wrong.

Maybe the marketing blather improved, but EA's modus operandi didn't.

Brought to you by the guys who hated Dragon Age: Origins and made Dragon Age II: Kirkwall Adventures...

They'd be completely gobsmacked by our profit-oriented sociopaths in Wall Street and the City of London.

Dear alien loving humans,

That's pre-EA Bioware.

EA, huh? Origin only, online required, day 1 DLC... waiting won't be hard at all.

You could be in the superminority that rejects both Davies and Moffat as utter hacks and longs for the days of Holmes and Adams.

Given what JJ did to Trek (and his general lack of talent)... it wasn't a trade up. At best it's just trading for a new set of weaknesses.
