It's jetlag from the vacation.

He was on vacation recently? Well its around Christmas so it makes sense. He skipped the week off the rest of the team had after they launched 3.0.

Gonna have to stop you right here. The reason why people were pissed about ME3 ending was because everything that was done up to the very end of the trilogy made no difference. Your choices. Everything Shephard stood for. It mattered not. The ending was "Pick a Color". Done. There's nothing unique about that at all. Even if they made it "Unique" that wouldn't matter to a fanbase as long as their choices actually mattered. Here it did not. That was the backlash. No one likes "Shut up and Color" logic. Which by the way, we're doing for XIV.

Personally I didn't like any of the endings. The end of the Mass Effect trilogy felt like a huge letdown to me. Totally put me off Bioware.

Not sure how FF14 is 'pick a color' though. FF14 never sold itself on having choice in its story or having much variation in the narrative. In many ways its both a totally different game and a different narrative style. Games and stories both don't have to have multiple paths based on choice to be good.

Core issues FF14 seems to have is primarily content ones with some people chaffing for more variety in the Job system. It would probably be less of an issue if Alex Savage and Diadem didn't flop and if 3.1 hadn't come so late. All are perfectly valid concerns. However I think its worth pointing out there is ample quantities of critical criticism of the game at the moment. Positive feedback on what they are doing right however tends to be in short supply and frankly is as important.

There are scores of threads telling SE what they are doing wrong. There are many suggestions by people, sometimes conflicting suggestions, on how people think SE should fix any particular issue. There are rather few threads actually commenting on what players are happy with and like in the game. There must be something otherwise why would you be playing at all?

For a change, tell SE what they have done right.
