Posted November 16, 2012 Man, I hope this will flop. Nintendo fanboys don't deserve Mass Effect. Thing is I'd have bought the Trilogy on Wii U in an instant!But even with the extra's they are putting into this game I think it's difficult to get into the series in the third installment. I don't really see what you're getting for doing so. As it is [if I decide I'm interested in Mass Effect] I'm probably looking at getting the trilogy on the PS3 now.

Posted November 16, 2012 There's literally no reason to buy this version over the Trilogy, so that's definitely the way to go. You'll get way more Mordin that way, and you'll get to decide if Ashley's racism or Kaidan's whining gets on your nerves more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2012 Speculation is EA & Nintendo had a bit of a falling-out after Nintendo decided not to use Origin for their online stuff after all and EA is basically going to be a bitch about it with tepid support - hence this bizzarity when a full trilogy is also being made available to 360 & PS3.

Posted November 16, 2012 Something to be noted is that paid DLC on Wii U won't be supported until the December update, so it is possible that it may happen then. Then again, EA would've rightfully have just said that it would be coming out next month instead then... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 17, 2012 Talking about a kick in the nuts, according to Jeremy Parish of 1UP, Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U has technical issues. He explains: This version of ME3 seems a lot less visually stable than, say, the Xbox 360 version — the frame rate is choppier, the animation seems rougher. The audio suffers, too; while the music and sound effects have come over fine, all the dialogue has a hollow, echoing quality to it. Good job EA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 17, 2012 EA are one of the most horrible companies in gaming - and sadly one of the biggest. They have destroyed beloved franchises, have an appalling record for shutting down servers and removing the ability to play games online and are one of the companies to be agressively pushing online passes which essentially lowers the resale value of their games. Clearly they have done everything they can to make this game a dud. From releasing it as a stand alone when the trilogy is out on other systems to charging a higher price and not including the DLC. However these things could almost be forgiven if the game was the definitive version of ME3 and played to all the strengths of the Wii U. But instead the game also happens to be a shoddy port. What a JOKE. EA are literally the worst publisher in the industry and they're obviously trying to screw Nintendo and the Wii U. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I so hope that when they start to argue that Wii U has no audience for core titles, they get destroyed by their attitude with this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 17, 2012 They have no reason to want to fal on the wii u. Other than pettiness. Surely they wouldn't?! The same thing could be said about their snubbing of the Dreamcast... Their attitude on Wii U has a solid historical precedent, it really isn't outlandish to believe. The only way to really stick it to EA is to not buy their games (on any platform) and instead support the publishers who are actually putting out first class efforts on Wii U (Hi ZombiU and Ubisoft!)

It fits considering how gushy EA were last year about the console, and how they feel now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2012 Bumping this just out of curiousity. Does anyone here have M.E. 3: S.E. for their Wii U? Any impressions/feedback? ShopTo are selling it for just under £30: http://www.shopto.net/wiiu/WIIUMA01-mass-effect-3-special-effect The reviews have been very good so far. Averaging 87% on Metacritic. The biggest sticking points would be the lack of DLC and the graphical performance being inferior to the Xbox version. I have looked at the reviews for the DLC missions, Omega and Leviathan - a real mixed bag. I can see them being non-essential... Should I just get it for my PC or Xbox (at a better price)? I do have existing profiles from M.E. 2 (PC) ready to import. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2012 Should I just get it for my PC or Xbox (at a better price)? I do have existing profiles from M.E. 2 (PC) ready to import. I think you just answered your own question. There seems to be little reason to get the Wii U version if you own any of the other systems the game was released on, so I'd get the PC version if I were you. It's cheaper and you get to carry over your save file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) It's settled, PC version for £11! Thanks for your opinions. If the price of the Wii U version falls any further, I might grab it for the living room setup. I've tended to play as the 'good cop' with my previous save files, so I might give the 'evil bastard' approach a go on the isolated console.
