Like I said, I'm not sure performance like this at EA gets another single player entry anytime soon, if ever.
I was going to say that the only surprising thing about this is it seems to rule out DLC, but were any DLC plans ever announced? That alone suggests EA knew this was a debacle months ago, and released it in March just to not poison this fiscal year too.

I remember the days of calling out BioWare as dead the second EA acquired them. If I could only go back and laugh in the faces of all the fanboys that relentlessly defended them.

There's no way that EA lets Mass Effect off this easily... either they wait a few years and start development on something new with the property that is actually groundbreaking, or they start cranking out Mass Effect mobile games and do whatever they can to milk the art and feelings people have. I could easily see them do a variation of Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes using the Mass Effect IP

Did you import a character from ME1 for ME2? Insanity from each game didn't feel too different from me playing fresh, but in each case importing made it feel like it was two difficult levels lower.

I mean, it seems like a tranny got a hold of BioWare at a conference or something and said, "Where's my representation?" And BioWare just fell in line. It seems that all of Canada's going right down the shitter with them.
They can handle dick choppers, but they can't handle blacks or Mexicans.
Wait... wut?

I've done fresh, import, and new game+. The difficulty of insanity largely depends on what class you're playing, but either way ME3 is still much easier than 1 and 2.
1 the adept was king because of unlinked cooldowns. Infiltrator could hang on a new game+ because you'd have enough skill points for 100% uptime on both marksman and immunity.
In 2 the soldier was king because of how strong adrenaline rush was and how much better the Revenant (soldier exclusive assault rifle) was than any other weapon in the game. If you had the balls (and reaction time) Vanguards could rock out due to the shield refresh on charge.
In 3 all that really matters is picking the right squad mates to prime/trigger combos for you. If you play an adept with liara and javik as your teammates, combat will just be non-stop biotic explosions as dark channel and singularity prime everything in sight for your double throws, but anyone can handle insanity in 3 because the other classes don't lag so far behind the best ones this time around. I'm rocking out a soldier with rapid fire weapons and the ammo evolution for concussive shot, so I can prime and trigger my own combos and just rely on my squad for CC.

I found that infiltrators dominated in 2, at least on Insanity, since shaking agro and DPS burning down enemies was the best path to victory. Maxing faction with Legion got you the god rifle which could just about one shot anything below a boss in that game, if you were accurate and/or abused the slow down.
In 3, Vanguard was a face roll until the last actual fight where you had to not get sync fucked by the 4 Behemoths and 4 Banshees that spawn at that difficulty level. That part sucked supreme balls for a Vanguard setup, but yeah VG with Liara/Jarrak team was pretty much a non stop rape fest.
In MEA MP, they finally tweaked the powers up so running around with maxed passives and punching shit is not the only way to win, until you unlock Vanquisher 10. They nerfed the Vanq, but not enough to matter for the people who use it to level up on Bronze. The Lannat is the new god weapon. They still don't have shotguns or assault rifles working worth a shit, outside of Turian Turbo fuckery. They tried to nerf all the VG classes, but the upped power damage made most of them better, with the Kroguard being the lone exception. If they ever manage to unfuck the weapon balance, the MP is actually the one redeeming aspect of the game, but with EA swinging the hatchet around, I doubt they will bother doing anything once all the premium pre-order bonus packs go out. So, the MP is likely dead in 10 more weeks based on that countdown.

Still too much.
Well, PC version is almost down to 19. That sure didn't take long.
I am glad people are speaking with their wallets and staying away from this trash.
I have it in my Gamefly queue - Nioh and Sniper 4 are heading back so I will see what I get back from them. Hoping Yazuko 0 comes in the mail soon.
