I almost want to agree with Oscar except I don't think so poorly of Bethesda since only Oblivion was a big disappointment for me. Morrowind is one of my favorite games and Fallout 3 redeemed Bethesda for me (again, it was only Oblivion between the two, but I can't really stress how much of a disappointment it was).
The thing about Bioware is that they made Mass Effect 2, a game that isn't a rpg, and I think it is amazing. They've been making their rpgs worse by simplifying and marring it with more action; KOTOR, then Jade Empire, and then Mass Effect. Mass Effect 2 reached the point where balance tipped in favor of making a shooter and it worked out really well, I thought. Ideally they would have made a great rpg that was also a great action game but I thought they failed with Mass Effect 1 and in the end I'd rather have a great game than a poor rpg.
And I liked KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age (a lot in the case of DA). Dragon Age is different in that it is them going back to making a game in the style of their classic rpgs, but more or less describes its worth. I think it is so well regarded because it is them making that type of rpg in this day and age rather than being one of the best rpgs ever. Also, people are praising it more highly now that the sequel's quality is questionable and I guess that makes Dragon Age Origins seem better by comparison? I dunno. They did it with Mass Effect and I'm still baffled when people call it an "incredible rpg" because I'm pretty sure that isn't the same game I played. The one where inventory was literally the same three items with a different number at the end for the entire game, or side quests that took place in identical locations.
is the voucher still included in new systems, or is that promo over now?
I just got the voucher in the mail and tbh I have no idea how. The PSP Go wasn't in that packaging that advertises the deal. It was still new, but it seemed like it was one of those first shipments of the thing that never sold. I guess despite not allowing me to access PSN because I'm not using the most recent firmware didn't matter and it still registered my unit or something. I just got the email with a code, entered it on my PS3, and am downloading LBP, SOCOM 3, and the first Ratchet game on PSP.
