I only played 6 NFS Games.
Underground was good
Underground 2 was awful
Carbon was alright
Most Wanted was not my cup of tea
Pro Street was amazing
Shift was Donkey Defection


Iv grown to dislike EA and their Origin platform,
I love Battlefield 2 and its mods, IMO there would never be another game like it again, after that they keep releasing another iteration every year or so and the game has become more bloated and more complex, at the end of the line I played BF3 and I hated it, After that I dont want to play another Battlefield game.

I love BF4. When you get a good team on a good map and everything just works it is awesome. Couple days ago I played a conquest on Silk Road and I had a sniper spotting armour for my javelin, it was awesome.

It reminds me of Xenogears or Knights of the Old Republic 2. There's a clear point in the game where you can tell developmers were planning something epic but time and/or funds were getting low so they slapped something together.

At least in ME3, that point comes really late with the button-press resolution, and its handled ambiguously. Xenogears it hits at the beginning of disc 2, and there's no ambiguity that, yep, the story just killed off everybody off screen and now you're watching a documentary/clip show style exposition dump of what you missed interspersed with boss fights and two-screen dungeons.

Shouldn't it read, "EA Strikes As Usual"?

Regardless of how you feel about the ending, it doesn't detract from three (in my opinion) amazing games. I mean, I played almost fifty hours in three days on ME3 - never done anything like it before, never will again!

FWIW, the game didn't earn Critics *AND* Player's Choice Awards (see Spike, MTV, GameInformer, GameSpot, RottenTomatoes, MetaCritic, etc etc etc etc etc etc times "it's over 9000" etc.™) for no reason at all. It's by no means my favorite game series, but I don't get the hate on the Mass Effect series...I really don't.

The only ones I see butthurt are those genuinely upset about a trivial change of development direction that ACTUALLY began with Mass Effect 2. If you weren't in for the long haul then, you weren't at all; I just don't get the justification for hating on Mass Effect, especially by those who never played the series. I UNDERSTAND the hate on Twilight. It didn't win a Pulitzer prize, despite its legions of husks enthralled by its insipid narrative. The Mass Effect series not only walked away with several best-in-show and User Choice awards, but won 2010's BAFTA Best Game for Mass Effect 2.

BAFTA, folks.

At the end of the day, that trilogy is done. A new one looms; it's time to move on.
