BioWare, We Still Love You

Gaming Blend "I admit that these last few months have not been the best for BioWare. It probably seems like the whole gaming world is out to get them and that fans have turned favoritism into furor. Well, it's not all bad BioWare. We understand your position and guess what? We still love you."

I can't justify myself to buy another EA/Bioware produced project...They have ruined both Mass Effect and Dragon Age Franchises with the stripped down gameplay/terrible writing....finally had a test of Mass 3 and the writing is bad story/plot wise....please tell me what idiot came up with the idea of listening to conversations to receive side missions that unlock war assets...i'm shocked how people only complain about the ending when the writing/gameplay/design of ME3 suffers from flaws...

vortis4362d ago

Most BioWare products now reek of EA oversight...as if some corporate goon is standing over their shoulder saying "Nope, not enough wallet-rape in that. Put in some more...more...more...annnnnd.. .that's good."

NYC_Gamer4362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

Bioware used to be one of my favorite studios couple years ago...EA has ruined them with their greedy ways of doing business/rushing out products for the quick dollar......Bioware created so many classic quality gems before EA brought them out...

I loved them up until 20mins ago when i watched the MP trailer again and what did i find at 1:02???

Javiks fucking shoulder... After all Bioware said From Ashes development was meant to have started after the game went gold right? So why is he in a trailer that was released a month before the game release? I doupt they had his character model "ready" that quickly. I dunno if people had already found this before but if he's in a trailer representing the full game then i demand he be in the full game and not sold for a seperate price.

Just thinking isnt that technically false advertising? Putting something in the trailer for a game that actually isnt in the full game?

@Pekolie

You're a little late to the party bro...his voice, scripting and models were done a long time ago. He was part of the leaked script that surfaced online.

All the BS about him being done between certification was a bold-faced lie.

TekoIie4362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

Yeh I decided to have faith and believe Bioware lol. Mass effect 3 is the last game I buy from them. It's a great game but if it didn't have so many flaws and a bad ending I would have turned a blind eye to day 1 dlc.

Still wish them look in the future to regain their fans trust :(

The ending controversy definitely overshadowed the other flaws

user54670074362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

I don't think I can...it wasn't just one thing with ME3 like the ending, it was one crappy move after another. Bioware just didn't make it any easier for themselfs

GamingPerson4362d ago

star wars the old republic story is great! But it should be f2p.

deletingthis346753344362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

I don't. Their games have turned to s***. First Dragon Age II now Mass Effect 3 (with the plot holes, ending, and other major issues with the story). Fail company.

BioWare Could be Working on More than Just Dragon Age Dreadwolf and Mass Effect 4

Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.

If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.

So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,

You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups

Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was

anthem......

Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....

They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table

bababooiy20d ago

Bioware today is like 150 poeple i dont see how they are seemingly working on all these projects at the same time.

Michiel198920d ago

Inquisition wasn't broken, it just had some flaws and on the contrary it also had some strengths. If you call inquisition a major screw up then idk what to say.

That said with what happened to the study since then and now, I'm not really confident that their next game will be any good.

just_looken20d ago

If you played it fully to get plat like me back in its novemeber launch window you had that castle with empty area's endgame missions not there or working and a mp that was made around loot box grind like the mass effect mp.

Its hard to explain to those that played it years later after they tossed out the dlc/patch's

Michiel198920d ago

entitled much? I played it at launch too. Why you even platted it if it was a "major screw up"?
It was good enough for you to sink 100 hours in but also a complete fuckup at the same time, make up your mind.
So either you like shitty games or you're just talking out of your ass.

RaidenBlack20d ago

Well just wanna say, Archetype Entertainment is the new BioWare, composed of mainly ex-BioWare vets.
And they're developing Exodus (starring Matthew McConaughey), a new sci-fi RPG (spiritual successor to Mass Effect, dare I say?)

CantThinkOfAUsername21d ago

I hope it's a single player game with Anthem's gameplay mechanics.

Becuzisaid21d ago

They're owned by EA. What makes you think that they wouldn't publish for PS5? Shoot, if your fridge could connect to your bank account EA would try to release it for that if they could!

Double_O_Revan21d ago

How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.

Becuzisaid21d ago

Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
