Well at least he's not doing anything Star wars related. KOTOR was a fluke as far as I'm concerned and TOR is junk.

Man, even Dragon Age 2 got DLC and a sequel that rebounded the image of the series. The Ryder family killed Mass Effect completely dead.

Cythereal posted:Bit of a shame. I thought Andromeda was merely an okay game - a hell of a letdown, but not literally Satan like this thread likes to go on about. I don't think it's satan, but even accounting for management mistakes it's a game that is lazy and uninspired to its core that completely sqaunders its premise I like to compare this to Final Fantasy XV because they're both ARPGs with very troubled development that was released in shambles at around the same time. The big difference is that FFXV aimed high and fell way short because of time and money constraints. There are elements and set pieces of of the game that took my breath away and alot of things that were innovative and absolutely worked. If FFXV had a few more years to integrate all the plot and character development that was cut for time it could've easily been one of the best FFs ever. MEA couldn't be good with the current story and setting with even 5 more years. Everything is either unimaginative, or a rehash, or extremely contrived. I honestly put it down to complete creative cowardliness. They were so afraid of new ideas that it completely boned the game. A game air exploring the unknown. I don't think I once felt a moment of awe playing MEA. Whereas I'll always remember the geography of FFXV and some of the setpiece fights because how well they were done. MEA is not satan. It's a burger king whooper where they add liquid smoke to the patty so they don't have to actually flame grill it. Thundercracker fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Jul 1, 2017 |

It's kinda amazing how they took the kind of 'audience is really eager to explore more of your IP!' success they had in 1 and 2 and decided the smart thing to do was blow the whole thing up.

Palpek posted:There's no picking the series up. It's not happening. Bioware is making Destiny games now. From the publisher perspective making Mass Effect would be a step back. There's a possibility for the franchise to be given to another studio but lol good luck with that, they wouldn't get Bioware budget. This the undeniable truth but I'm sure the hardcore holdout fans living in denial will still argue black and blue there is another mass effect coming one day. In 20 years time they'll still be arguing it long after the ghosts of Bioware and Bullfrog are singing and dancing around a campfire. Shimrra Jamaane posted:It was art, they're artists. High art.

I mean, maybe there will be a Half-Life 3 some day, too. If this game reinforced anything, it's that some legacies can't just be half-assed. If they are going to be failures, they should at least be interesting failures. Making it an extremely buggy and shoddily-written version of an open world with a mobile phone game's focus on meaningless tasks is actually kind of insulting, when I dwell on it. That I fell for it and preordered this game makes me a sucker, yes. But I'm glad EA is getting punished for it.

They don't even believe that the plug has really been pulled on this game. The articles saying that the studio has been gutted and that there's nobody working on DLC or a sequel anymore are fake, and they're gonna drop a sick DLC out of nowhere that's going to save the game and Mass Effect's reputation.

I don't think I could be arsed to play any DLC for this even if they gave it away for free tbh. Which they won't because this game killed Mass Effect and it's not coming back.

Helith posted:I don't think I could be arsed to play any DLC for this even if they gave it away for free tbh. TBF the DLC for ME3 was pretty solid. Omega wasn't great but it certainly wasn't awful. I doubt they are sitting on something the caliber of Lair of the Shadow Broker or Citadel, but even something up to Leviathan or even Overlord standards would at least give some hope that they've learned something from this mess. Dragon Age 2 was well-hated and they managed to salvage the franchise with Inquisition which is a pretty solid game as long as you aren't a completionist, in which case you'll be hating life playing Witcher 3 anyway as you traverse the oceans of Skellige for all those sunken treasures and have an Excel sheet to make sure you didn't miss some obscure quest trigger. While I haven't played ME:A, I think they tried to do something similar to DA:I where they threw in way, way more quests than would be humanly expected of you to complete, and figured you'd do them while they were fun and then just jump back on the main quest once you got tired of them. In DA:I you can pick side story missions, dungeon crawls, attacking the rifts, or do boring fetch quests and still be way overleveled, they clearly didn't expect people to do the whole thing. Is ME:A better if you avoid the side content you don't like?

The issue with ignoring the side quests is the main story is pretty poo poo too. Filler aside, at least the main story in DA:I was pretty solid and had much better characters to work with. Imagine the main quest of DA:I having the same low polish and forgettable everything as the side quests. That's Andromeda. Boy is Anthem sounding promising. They're on the record as phoning in any efforts at lore  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2JW16MpNS0 DancingShade fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Jul 1, 2017 |

Pattonesque posted:Someone described it as looking like the prettiest boring game of 2018 and I'd be shocked if it doesn't turn out that way I think the comparisons to Destiny are obvious but wrong - bear with me a moment. It's actually Bioware's version of Defiance by Trion Worlds, whether they realize it or not. No? It's a third person open world shooter with poo poo lore, looks vaguely pretty but nothing to do but endless bland shootmans where every combat encounter is basically identical.
