Rick Knight writes: I kicked in the door to BioWare's office like a boss. It swung wide, nearly crumpling from the force of my Adidas shoe. I strode in and took stock of the situation. BioWare was sitting at his desk, flabbergasted; his gold-wire spectacles were locked on me. He had changed since the last time we spoke.

During a part of his interview with Minnmax, Mac Walters gave details of why he chose to leave BioWare.
Today is known as Mass Effect N7 Day, and BioWare has released what looks to be teasers for the new Mass Effect game.
We really need another solid Mass Effect entry. It's a real shame that such a legendary franchise was left off with such a blemish to its overall astounding track record. Andromeda was just not it, don't know what they were thinking there.
Surprised it got a subtitle
I thought after Andromeda they’d have kept to the numbers so people wouldn’t think “oh another spin off”
Unless Shepard returns
Yes! One of my all time favorite trilogies. Hopefully they do ME justice. Andromeda was passable and had bones of a good game but just lacked the depth and intrigue that the originals had.
bioware,have been putting out garbage lately.
oh lord, gaming journalism has hit new heights!
Have to say I enjoyed that, well written. Haven't played the Dragon Age games but it's pretty impossible to be around here and not know about how many people aren't satisfied with the second game.
As for Mass Effect, I'm kind of a little worried at how ME3 is going to pan out. Mass Effect when I played it for the first time a few months ago became my favourite game ever because (despite some of it's flaws, particularly in combat) the game was just so spectacular and had one of the best narratives I've ever seen. ME2 seemed a step down (although most people I know prefer it to ME) but was still a decent game. Bioware have put out two solid games in them which gives me hope they will give ME the ending and final game it deserves. But still, ME2 was streamlined, a lot, and Arrival DLC really was completely pointless when you think about it. Hopefully the news on ME3 coming soon will shed light on what route Bioware wish to take with it.
I hope they do not screw up ME3.
Great article. As a long time BioWare fan that's been let down recently I share the point of view of the author. They have a tremendous track record and I still respect them, but I am starting to worry about they're recent dip in quality. The "EA Effect" is the only thing I can think of as a cause. We'll see for sure with Mass Effect 3. It'll either end up being a fantastic game and end to a great trilogy, or will establish a definite pattern of lower quality games from a formerly A+ publisher, and that would be a sad day indeed.
