DA: Inquisition is another turd from BioWare, of which there have been several in a row now. Remember when they were good? Anyone?

I remember :(

*KotOR cover*

Yeah, that game, despite its limitations, is still way better than most of their post-OG Xbox releases. I liked the ME trilogy, even 3 (despite the shitty ending), but that and DAO are literally the only good games they've made since then. They fucking suck now.

I don't keep track of the teams but are the original writers from yay back still with Bioware or they simply succumbed overtime?

A lot of 'em are gone, particularly the lead writers like Drew Karpyshyn and David Gaider.

Thanks for the insight. If some of the original team ever start up a new game with Kickstarter, I'll probably be more than willing to oblige.

Actually, I believe Drew Karpyshyn re-joined Bioware and is now working on Anthem.

A shame that Anthem is going to be a hot steaming diarrhea explosion, and will probably kill BioWare for good.

Then again, at this point, it's pretty much a mercy killing. I'd almost rather see them close shop than release whatever abomination Dragon Age 4 would wind up being (and Mass Effect's already "on hiatus").

Yep, after star wars and andromeda it's hard to believe that Anthem will be received with anything other than skepticism, no matter how much they pay for good reviews.

I think it should be pretty clear the game is set up to try benefiting from microtransactions in a way similar to Battle Front. Robotic suits with a variety of components, paint jobs, and whatever? How can you not monetize that into unplayability?

And with Andromeda the reception was actually worse than the game deserved, but what I think hurt them most, imo anyways, was how they dropped it like a rock.

Anyways I would be more shocked if Anthem wasn't what made Bioware go the way of basically every other developer EA has obtained.

This is like asking if you'd rather have a free dinner at White Castle or a high end steakhouse...it's not even up for debate.

I say this even though I played and enjoyed Inquisition. It's not as good as Origins, but it's not bad either. Witcher 3 is really on it's own level though.

Plus Casey Hudson is back, so this COULD be an upswing for Bioware.

Bioware allowed criticism of the old "Bioware formula" to get in their heads, and it messed them up. Who cares what our fans think? Let's pander to people who don't like our games and see how it goes.

A lot of companies had this happen. I mean, pandering to SJWs has actually made the other people (the majority) disinterested in products to varying degrees. I don't think it's a coincidence that Wolfenstein 2 bombed so hard after the previous entry was a surprise hit and put the series back on the map. Nobody wants the game equivalent of that video of that bitch freaking out at the white guy with dreadlocks... it's not fun.

Except Casey Hudson was directly responsible for the end of ME3, so if anything I see him more as "part of the problem" than I do "part of a potential cure".

BioWare is pretty much stone cold fucked at this point. There's a reason why almost every story we hear coming out of the studio these days is a negative one.

I personally didn't mind the end of ME3 that much (at least the choices presented). Once they patched in the new endings with more content, I was fine, and the Citadel DLC was great. Anywho, Anthem actually looks pretty fun, so I'm not exactly screaming "The sky is falling!" Anywho, no matter what you thought of the end of ME3... he still worked on KotOR, Jade Empire, and the Mass Effect trilogy as a whole, so, that's a pretty solid resume.

to see how anthem is going to go, look at how destiny 2 became loot box central

and then imagine it being worse since ea is behind it

I believe there's a standalone Gwent game out now. Haven't played it so I'm not sure, but I remember hearing something about it a while back, though.

Maybe it's just DLC for The Witcher that expands Gwent?

Just looked it up, it's not out yet.
