Moved the stuff about the sale to the Origin thread since it was really an Origin/EA issue rather than a KoA issue.

No, at this point I'm just pissed at the treatment from customer service. If they'd just said "we're sorry, there was a mistake in the ad" I would have been disappointed but not angry, but instead they apologized for me misunderstanding, gave me justifications for why it was there and wasn't misleading (tip: if I have to go to another site to read the fine print to find out that the game you advertised with the sale is not part of the sale, then your ad is misleading) and then did childish stuff like unfollowing me so they could get in the last word. It's not like I was being rude to them, I was just calmly discussing it with them. lol, and now I got myself back into it. But no, thanks for the thought, but I'm not sure if I would buy it now even if I could get the 50% off.

I should say I'm okay with save points to limit where you can save a la the typewriters, I'm not okay with them limiting the number of times you can use those save points a la the ink tapes.

Oops, thought I'd linked to the Dropbox copy. Fixed now.

Classy.

There are, what, 17 endings? With really only 3 major ones (minor variations on the 3 make up the others). And really almost no variation between those 3 anyway...

Nope, no help, just apologies "for any misunderstanding." Yes, that's right, I misunderstood the ad, it's not that the ad is blatantly misleading or anything...

This, so much this. *Edit* - Only quoted part of his comment, not the whole thing.

Doesn't seem like they're going to help me either. *Edit* - This sure is helping to refute the negative view of EA so many seem to hold...

Got a response from EA support on twitter, so maybe I'll get more help there.

I know, the earlier conversation just made it seem like you guys were acting like you both needed a PS3, and I phrased it as a question instead of a statement because I didn't want to sound like a dick and also I was only 99% sure, not 100%.

That's fake challenge though. That's punishing me because something came up in the middle of my play session and I have to quit. That's retarded. Otherwise, yes, I am all for strict item rationing in certain kinds of games.

Here's the ad link: http://ebm.em.ea.com/c/tag/hBPXqMZB7uauvB8hUAYDulXVjGW/doc.html Don't know if it will work right for people in other areas.

Sure. HTML of what though? The ad? lmao I was thinking the same thing.

In my experience grocery stores and the big warehouse stores don't tend to have people approach you for help in the US, but smaller stores and specialty stores do. When I was in college my friends and I would play a game at the mall where the goal was to go to a store like American Eagle (clothing stores seem to be the worst) and walk all the way to the back, touch the back wall, then walk back out the front of the store without any of the workers talking to you. We hardly ever won.

What I actually came in here to post: Never have I encountered a store that actually refused to honor its own ad, even when that ad was mistaken. *Edit* - I do see the big asterisk on the 50%, but notice the box art for KoA, and the text at the bottom does not mention KoA as one of the exclusions (even the part that got cut off in the screenshot). Also, I had to take two screenshots to get the whole chat so I spliced them together.

Most of the time when ordering online we don't have to pay tax at all, so

I don't buy anything off the stacks in the aisle (except occasionally the "bargain bin" type things) or endcaps because they're almost always more expensive than the stuff on the regular shelves.

No, from what I can tell it's on sale in Europe but not the US. I only checked the site though, didn't try the client.

Is it possible to have everyone except Shepard die in ME2? I think if your whole squad dies then Shep has to die too. *Edit* - @Vargras: I haven't noticed that. Though I will say that the more someone dies the less inclined I am to try to revive them, and Vanguards tend to die a lot (not because they're bad, but because it's kind of the nature of the beast). Another problem with reviving Vanguards is that often they've charged across the level, so it's just more difficult to get over there to them.

I'm holding out for $30. Actually, there's a 50% off sale on Origin this week, and KoA was in the e-mail ad I received, but apparently it's not actually discounted.

There's a testing phase in there, it's just shorter than the whole game test phase (which makes sense cause there's less content).

I thought the dialog was very well written. I do agree with your complaints (except the first one), they just don't ruin the game for me. As for the first one @elev3n:
