RIP Bioware

DMC5 or Shenmue 3 is the most likely scenario

Playing the demo I can confirm the gameplay is solid as shit, but I could definitely see some shit reviews anyway for people saying it "lacks music"

Bioware has been utter shit since Dragon Age 2 was lazy and shit

Dragon Age Origins is Bioware's last good game.

i refuse to believen that that it took them 6 years to make this bare bones shit.

Doesn't EA pay reviewers? What's going on?

You don't have to hope on that one.

I’m not saying the game will be bad, I’m saying reviewers will say it’s nothing special because it’ll be more of what we got in the past.

only because game journos will have problems with the bosses and blame the devs for their incompetence.

What do you think is worse? Fans being so passionate about your games that they get mad as hell when you put out a flop (76)

Or people just not caring about you or your games and watching as the world just discusses other things without paying you any mind (Anthem)

Im fucking glad it failed, Bioware has become shit and evey new game they shit out it becomes more obvious. Mass effect died for a medioker shooter, awful characters, shit story, repetetive missions and an uninspired world.

Bioware have been doing the former for so long people are just tired of them now, resulting in the latter. The latter is definitely worse though.

This, not a very good genre and the game is basically pure cringe

Bioware has gone downhill since EA bought them,this is probably their last game.

they don't, it's just used as an excuse if an EA game gets a high score. when they score low, it's a "fluke," or they "forgot to pay them." it's how anons cope with review scores for games that they'll never even play.

Nah, Brink was such a let down because it actually did show off some potentially interesting stuff initially.

I was going to say Days Gone but one of the recent trailers made it look alright.

It was mindbogglingly stupid not to set Anthem in the ME universe to begin with.

Thats actually the fault of the community manager, they typically filter concerns to the dev team and they often disregard complaints as "trolls" in Fallout 76 for example- Pete Hines said the response was "Mostly positive"

Well shit. My bad for not spelling "mediocre" correclty.

Unlikely seeing as they could've done this in DMC4SE but chose to lessen the grind instead.

The difference is everyone had hawkeyes for EA because of the trail of shit they were leaving behind. ZeniMax didn't have this issue att. BRINK appeared as a fresh game in front of everyone.

Mass Effect 2 was a romancefag 3rd person shooter.

I hate how everyone loves mass effect 2, there was one point where I was actively trying to dodge all of the romance options and the game literally MADE me choose between miranda and jack because they were having a big argument over who I liked more.

Fuck Mass Effect 2.

Yes, they claimed they've been working on it "before destiny" to deflect the comparison and people pointing out its them chasing an already dead trend.

Da2 and me2. Me2 was less obvious because it was ok on it's own but threw out all the rpg elements, so bait and switch.

Da2 was an obvious drop in quality and watered down rpg elements.

Mixed
Just like the races present in Anthem

Not anymore, all the good parts of this company have left. There’s no more of the developer I knew left

desu it was probably in development hell and scrapped multiple times and started from scratch. EA fucking piled in all their resources and teams into anthem so what we're getting was probably only done in like 2 years.

so who's gonna bite the dirt first?
ea
actiblizz
bethesda?

Dragon Age origins only gets confused as a good game because it was one of the first games of the 'crpg rennaissance.'

This doesn't dismiss the fact that even the dozens of shitty kickstarter games built in unity are better games of the same movement. DA:O was one of the worst games of the crpg rennaissance.

Did any of these devs quit and form their own companies? It sucks that they wouldn't be able to keep the rights to their respective series but it seems like the optimal thing to do

The only reason Andromeda did better was because of Mass Effect nostalgia bonus points, this would have been its score without it.

Anthem could have just been incorporated into Andromeda

Well... first Battlefield V, a game that I for the past three months forgot even existed (though that WAS in part due to the holiday rush at my job), and for all of the shitty ideas and steps it took: still managed to top itself in failing. That game managed to hurl EA's stock prices down by a whopping 23%, now it's around 45% lower...

And if they did have success, they'd likely end up being bought back into EA. Weren't the Respawn founders like that? Escaped EA, started one of the call of duty companies, Activision bought them, they left and started Respawn, get bought by EA.

Please no

This is happening with almost all big companies now.

stop getting your talking points from jim sterling

Half Life 2 got rid of mazes because beta testers thought they were too hard

good. finally bioware will be put to rest. they should be gratefull. they don t need to make shit games anymore under EA

player feedback is a double edged sword. However, when you have genuine consensus, it can be pragmatic to at least look at what they're saying

I'm one of the few here who played it.
The gameplay, despite being filled with typical modern open world busywork is not bad at all, in fact, i'd say the shooting and such is the best in the entire franchise.
The problem with Andromeda is everything around the gameplay, including writing, the infamous animations and sometimes level design, specifically the Remnant vaults which were a chore.

Plus, they didn't do much with the hole "hey guise, it's a new galaxy!" thing, since it only had two alien species.

How do you think Bioware's handling seeing the Metacritic number internally? Are employees already scouting out new jobs?

It's actually a meme since the music gets more hype depending on how good you're doing so people saying it "lacks music" is a trap exposing that they're bad at the game

im guessing 87

EA. They killed Mass Effect, They killed Battlefront, They killed CODBlops, They killed Dead Space.

Bad or good they'll ruin things as time goes one. Enjoy Apex Legends while you can

>blunderpunk 2077
>gotyay
>it doesn't even look cyberpunk
>a shitty generic fps

lol ok

With how much every media outlet was fawning over it, there's no way Cyberpunk doesn't get at least a 90+ average

Those kind of testers are necessary because devs spend so much time with their creation that even convoluted shit makes sense, just because they've spent a lot of time in it.
That being said, I have no idea where they get some of these people.
And what's worse is if community managers actually are disregarding valid complaints and only informing the devs of smaller, more tangible stuff like bugs while saying everything else is great.

Attached: 1497498473556.png (1080x1920, 1.74M)

Trust me, employees are the first ones to know a game is going to get raped by critics.
Remember how a lot of devs, including that anti-white indian bailed out of Bioware right before Mass Effect Andromeda came out?

Hell, remember how Casey Hudson left like mid-way through development of Andromeda, and then came back to Bioware after the game flopped and the dust had settled?

Surely these devs browse social media related to their game and can see the feedback for themselves?

Yes I know that is a joke about journalists being bad at games, but goddamn,is better to suck than hear Dante's theme

So do you people just come to Yea Forums to circle jerk about games that flop?
Games being bad isn't something you should look forward to.

I'm sure they're paying attention, specially the ones who actually care about making a fun game, can but what can they do? They still have to follow their bosses command. They can't just go in and start fixing shit around without explicit orders.

they probably think the vast majority of negative reviews/critiques are from people who hold a grudge or something

Nothing is forever, we still have things like Hollow Knight that are quality stuff made with care even if you may not like that particular example

can someone buy mass effect and just bring back shepard and have him zoom around space fucking all different types of aliens this would be a good game

Greediness and nepotism.
Nepotism is what has filled Bioware with talentless hacks, and greediness is the reason why Bioware is making some shitty Destiny clone instead of RPGs, you know, what they have always made and what they only have experience on.

back then they thought they had to be nice, because bioware is infallible.

Because they are developers not PR or community management. If a choice is made to react to player feed back its not done on the dev level.

Is Titanfall 3 even still in development?

I know a lot of people meme about how months ago there were journos complaining about the lack of music in the demo, but I can't see "lack of music" being a complaint in reviews. The reason being that it's been stated many times and in official material that DMC5 has dynamic music. The complaint I CAN see however is it being more like "DMC5 is absurdly hard, and punishes you for not being good enough by making the music amp up only when you have a high style rank". Despite the fact that DmC has the same thing but is much easier. I can't think of his name but one journo was already complaining that the D rank name being "Dismal" is too harsh.

Attached: 1343479076777.jpg (161x207, 27K)

No, Apex will be all Respawn works on for the next decade.

Even Kizuna Ai was getting SS ranks during combat, these journalists have no excuse.

To think everyone freaked out when Activision laid off 800 in redundant positions.

Who plays for Kizuna Ai?

Didn't she have auto on? I didn't see the whole video. That might have been another japanese chick who was playing it in a different video, though.

Division 2 or DMCV.

A japanese man.

In theory, yes. In practice, it's too easily abused and it can make players lose interest, since they're getting something unfinished instead of a polished experience.
At some point the dev in charge just has to make the final decision, look at what the testers are doing, consider whether those are valid issues or is the game meant to go in some very specific direction.
In the Half Life example, they likely didn't even see that place as a maze nor was it intended as one, so if one idiot got lost, there was no reason to keep that aspect. In Dishonored, the play tester likely didn't play the game up to that point, he was simply given that level without any backstory, possibly without instructions on how to play or what the game was about, so it's more understandable that he could've assumed it was basically an invisible wall, meaning devs felt the need to give more hints on what to do.
It's hard to say if the fault lies in the play tester or in how the devs organize the play testers. There's a famous case study where a focus group was asked on what their preferred coffee is and they all said black, but later on they actually all preferred to drink the one with sugar and cream, they just said black because they wanted to impress or thought that was the "correct" answer.

The fact that Biodrones still exist on Yea Forums after ME3 proved how stupid the average person is.

Sounds like the title for a children's novel.
Either moved to other companies, or more likely, other industries. Most devs don't tend to last more than a decade or two before the burnout of constant crunch time, never having any real job security and having to constantly move from different states if not different countries, gets to them.

Also how the fuck did Capcom manage to nailed it with MH?

Nobody mentions RAGE 2?

Soruce of the pic?

Sonys piece of shit. Days something.

That's AA at best

We are talking about video games.

DA:O was questionable but there were good ideas, so while flawed it set up for a sequel well. ME2 was worrisome but at least they significantly improved combat gameplay and had mostly great dialogue. DA2 and beyond were just disasters, though.

Altered Carbon is shit after the first 3 episodes. And Ortega is pure cringe and ruins any scene she appears in.
The Hotel hologram of Poe was the only reason I kept watching

That's not 2019 you retard

They should invite Anita Saarkisian more often if they want positive reviews from soi boys reviewers

Honestly nobody will miss bioware if EA puts them to sleep

Poe was the main reason most everyone kept watching. Ortega's nude scene didn't hurt either. The whole thing did feel a bit like the whole crew and most of the cast were just phoning it in.

That's how it ended up getting 70s from the big magazines/blogs and not 40s like it actually deserved.

Bioware dream shattered once i started playing Dragon age 2. Something was wrong with the lame anime characters and same recycled map

I’m still a loyal battlefield player.

Battlefield V is a solid return to form. No premium and 50 type of the same gun like battlefield 1 also WW2 is favourite era. Hearing women die with that gay scream is delicious also.

I liked the demo. I want to play it. But I have got bored of games like destiny 2 so I’m probably a retard.

>Games being bad isn't something you should look forward to.

It should, that way we can force developers to deliver better games instead of relying just on cash grap, generic games.

>Battlefield V is a solid return to form.
it's not a return to form, they haven't made good battlefield since 2142

Because A team got hit with high turnover and they had to replace lost talent with diversity hires and pink haired sjws. The same happened to Montreal but the effect wasn’t as destructive. BioWare is dead. Dragon age 4 is dead.

Regardless, it's a Sony exclusive, so it'll get >80 by default

Up until the Bungie split and Apex Legends release I would have said EA, but now Activision-Blizzard is looking really bad really quickly

>the private beta reception
?
the reception was good

This. The 70 meme was funny but now it's just sad to see it sink even lower. We're seeing the death throes of a company that actually used to make decent games. Sure, it's current iteration desperately needs to die but you can't help but feel a little bad.

I have never played that. I started at Battlefield Bad Company 2. Battlefield Vietnam was my favourite.

Wouldn't be surprising given how much journos loved DmC. I doubt it'll sell poorly though and it'll get about a 80 on the lower end of the scale.

There was a journo complaining that music never really got that hype for him until he realised the music gets more hype the better your style rank, and got BTFO.

Division 2.
That shit likely won't even be out till 2020

When they want it to succeed

I can't see it happening. Capcom are weird about microtransactions and shit though, like for Re2 the classic outfits are unlocked when you beat one characters A run and they added the 98 costumes for free, yet the original soundtrack costs 3 bucks extra, and dmc4SE had microtransactions added yet they increased how many orbs you gain. Plus according to what we know you still get a decent amount of orbs anyway in this, and most dmcfags tend to replay the shit out of these games.

I too liked the demo then found out the starting location is the only location in the game. and what I thought were optional mmo-ish missions were actually part of the main storyline.
It's very boring

Was anyone looking forward to this? I heard practically nothing after the original reveal since everyone seemed to dismiss it as trying to be EA's answer to Destiny and all I heard were bad things leading up to release. I can't imagine the biocucks on Yea Forums caring much since its not a shitty rpg with romance options in it.

Faster fuckin load times than Anthem and it's still Mass Effect, so the aliens are still there.

What does Anthem have? And is it valuable enough to wait 5 minutes every time it loads?

Gays can still have kids, user.

I think there is a very good chance that they started over from scratch to make the game MORE like Destiny and The Division. Anthem has been in development for a long time.

So it's a worse game because of bad facial animations? That's all that matters?

Yeah but they'll just rape them.

>ZERO NEGATIVE REVIEWS

ITS A WIN BOYS

Funniest part is they claimed a lot of the devs were avid Destiny/Division players.

Did you not play it? It wasn't "facial animations", though those were dumb too. If you played it, you'd know half of the game's cinematics, the NPC's straight walk into the fucking floor or vanish into the skybox. Half of the canned animations in the game results in guns clipping inside their holder's skulls and shooting into the fucking ether. I'm not nitpicky at all and holy shit it was so immersion breaking it blew my mind

You didn't pay attention, they actually told people not to reproduce until the system was settled and there's enough room for gays, lesbians and trannies when you have 20 thousand of each race. Population isn't an issue

It'll be interesting to see if they can keep the ball rolling though. If Iceborne is the same old shit with another glut of Elder Dragons and flying wyverns with crappy, low effort weapons, I think World will fall over.

Capcom's been on the roll ever since they got rid of inafune and e-sports managers. There's a reason RE2R, DMC5, MM11, and MHW came after that

Now there's already rumors of a DR game, especially since TJ Rotolo is back with them

Is Gears of War 5 still AAA at this point?

Division 2 for sure. Played the beta, it's absolute trash. Even Anthem was more exciting to me than that shit.

>It's not bladerunner simulator therefore I hate it

There's still the Anthem General on /vg/

Smart man.

and

Nobody gave a shit about GOW4, so I'd say 5 is looking like bargain bin tier vidya at this point.

I'm still looking forward to the future of the game (if there is one at all). I remember being really disappointed when Destiny came out back in 2014, a year later when TTK dropped it became one of my favorite games of all time.

Almost all looter shooters have released in a mediocre state, it seems like this kind of game requires some time to bloom.

Destiny 2 is on sale right now. $30 for expansions + Forsaken. Worth it?

Maybe, since you are no longer giving Activision money.

For an AAA game it's a fucking disaster.

If you like looters, absolutely. You kinda missed a big part of Forsaken which was discovering everything new along with the community when it came out, but it's the best Destiny has ever been since Destiny 1 The Taken King.

Nothing is gonna top Anthem.

Its better than Anthem by a huge amount with Forsaken.

Maybe it's just because they added alot of nice QoL shit on the PC. And 60 FPS makes everything better

Inb4 a few months later and some sort of expansion or big patch comes out and people say "It's good now".

Just like how the utter garbage that was Destiny 1 & 2 gets any praise. Or The Division for that matter.

SHOOTING GAMES WHERE YOUR WEAPON AND THE ENEMIES SCALE BASED ON LEVELING ARE THE WORST FUCKING IDEA.

I don't get it. All these diablo style games are horribly boring to play at best. It's like a singleplayer MMO.

I don't see how this could be a "failure" since it should more or less be a re-release of an old game. If anything I'd expect negative reviews to say something like

>It was revolutionary for it's day, but in the modern world of X and Y Classic WoW will only deliver for the most hard core of MMO fans

Which can pretty much be translated to

>I'm such a fucking casual I can't even play a game as easy as Classic WoW

Because mandatory minimums are corrosive and insulting. There are plenty of examples of great female game devs, but when they start hiring Everyone because they're sexist if they don't, things start falling apart.

That sheboon's grimace is scarier than anything I've encountered in a horror game.

holy shit

If you watch the game they actually reuse some of the assets from Andromeda. Some of the animations in the cut scenes where the guns just kinda flop around on the characters back when they holster them (even though they sit on the hips).

Were going to get a story about how this game was dealing with all kinds of engine issues and scope creep until EA finally had enough money flushed down the toilet on incompetent designers.

EA has largely given up on Anthem in favour of Apex.

They stopped paying reviewers for it, the negative reviews are the reviewers trying to spite EA.

The thing is, unlike F76 or Anthem, DmC5's prelease gameplay looks good.

It'd just be like Godhand over again or something.

The last EA game I played was NASCAR 2001

From who you? It has an 81metacritic somehow though.

It's actually funny to consider that letting players play a week earliy may have actually made review numbers go down. Since it took a few days for reviews to come out, nearly a week, and in that time the narrative around the game was already widely known because so many people were playing and streaming and uploading videos. People forget how jacked into the communities videogame reviewers are. If Anthem had launched normally on the 22nd, I bet the scores would still be pretty low, but I bet they wouldn't be low 60's low and the narrative would be more positive than negative. But since players have already made it apparent how terrible the game is, most reviewers are too.

It's not quite bandwagoning per se, but more that people have already been presenting the game a certain way and convinced other players and reviewers in a way they might not have had reviewers been able to review in a vacuum.

Basically the only reviews you can trust are the ones from your own two eyes and the ones from Yea Forums.

Titan bro here. People were spamming Call of Duty should be "boots on the ground" since Blop2, wanting a return to a more grounded experience both literally and in terms of setting. Apex Legends was heartbreaking but it probably was the best direction for Call of Duty tried to return to a less is more approach of its glory days.

Instead they turned Blops4 into ability driven a hero shooter but for some bizarre reason no one seemed to notice

Well... There's Crackdown 3, which was dragged through the mud.

RAGE 2 looks like any other generic fps. It's bland and barely anyone asked for it.

And more then 20 reviews still unscore. Will it get lower? Probably no one will give it more then 70.

I wish Armond White reviewed video games.

The weird thing about Crackdown 3 is that fundamentally it's not a terrible game, and it's not exactly "lacking" in what it sets out to do. The problem is that years of development delays and overhype about a shitty cloud destruction system that didn't make it into the final game wouldn't of prepared people for basically playing a sandbox game that's near-identical to the older games at the tail end of a generation later. Something other games, including Saints Row 4, have essentially taken and improved upon significantly.

Refuse delivery, they'll take it back and automatically refund without you needing to package it up and get a label and go to the Post office

Dragon Age's most popular mod gets rid of two areas in the game. So let that sink in for you.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

They got rid of Inafune.
The last of his influence was washed out a while ago and they purged a lot of shit, now they can get some good shit going again until the next downward spiral, whenever that is.

She's like that through the whole game too. It's like watching a really bad movie where you can tell one of the actors knows he's in a shit movie and can't quite keep his face straight through his scenes.

Rage 2
fuck Bethesda launcher

Did everyone not realize this was a prediction and not a joke?

>terrible sequel to a beloved franchise gets critical acclaim despite being obviously broken
>years of people looking at me funny for saying said company and its games suck ass
>a decade or so later a straw breaks the camel back and every normie and his mother starts hating on said developer/company

Its like bethesda all over again

Dragon Age II was when I knew every review site was full of shit and not to be trusted.

>virgin
nice

someone edit some pepes and wojacks into this

He didn't bail, his contract was done and they didn't rehire his ass.

Where?

Nah probably just some retarded shitskin larping badly as a white guy online, plenty of the things here.

I got Destiny 2 for free thanks to PS+

Is it worth buying all the shit for it now? I'm gonna keep plus for the forseeable future and by the time I'd actually have to buy the game to play it'll be dead

>people who defended mass effect Andromeda and praised it for great side characters shit on anthem
Played hour, and at least it doesn't make me want to shoot everyone I met compared to andromeda

If the division 2 is uplay only, it will crater

It was not a good Bioware Game, but it was a good game made by Bioware, and that's the difference.

The vidya industry became another Hollywood. Too big and bloated to utilize what made their products work in lieu of safer mass appeal. yet also too big to ever entirely fail and not hook enough saps to survive.

I fear it won't be long now until the suits somehow come after Indies and AA's in the same way Bethesda/Valve declared war on modding, or how Netflix and Amazon are basically funneling indie-films.

my only issue isnt even an issue
i just wish it were more 'life is fucked, right?' cyberpunk than 'we're really all robots now, so who gives a fuck' cyberpunk

because when you bring gunplay into it, who really gives a shit if everyone is saved in some mainframe anyway? especially when people are walking around with augmentations sticking out of their ass? so, eh.

but that's more to do with the source material anyway.

This is actually really bad for Bioware cause from what I've seen no one really cares? and that's the worst outcome of all.
Not counting shitposting here obviously, but with Andromeda there was tons of press about it's failure, was everywhere on twitter etc. With this game it's just like "...ok". It just seems like such a non-event compared to Andromeda or even Fallout 76.

It's not even the fact that it was received like that, it's that Bioware has had so many blunders that people have grown indifferent towards them.
And it's obvious Bioware is on the line because of this, which is why I don't understand why, if EA told them to make a Destiny clone and went the futuristic route, why didn't they make it set in the Mass Effect universe?

The people who worked at Bioware 10 years ago are long gone. It's an EA studio that own the name now

I think watching it in spanish helped my viewing. I didnt think it turned to shit until about the last 3 episodes myself. Sci fi and cyberpunk are okay with loose ends imo, shouldnt have tried to rush it.

really enjoyed it though. makes sense that they combined several characters from the book into the few we see in the show.

Notably excluded: everyone that gave it middling reviews. The word-of-mouth about those games are obvious even in their launch numbers

It has probably the most boring loot ever so maybe

I don't think I've ever seen anyone else fall from grace so hard. Bethesda & Blizzard are shit on constantly sure, but at the end of the day people do still care and will get upset if they continue to fuck up.
I actually liked Inquisition but if this failure causes the 4th DA to be cancelled I honestly wouldn't really care at this point

You faggots are completely desensitized to any new gameplay. Until you dorito dick neckbeards can play something in the 11th dimension nothing will ever be good enough to tingle your tentacle. I’ve been in and out of the gaming scene my whole life and had a stint where I didn’t even so much as own a tv for five years. Fast forward to me now and I’ve been playing pretty much everything that comes out for the past year and a half. Anthem is definitely one of those games that feels different. I played for the first time tonight because I’m a normal fucking person who doesn’t get shit before it’s actual launch. I can’t wait to go to work tomorrow and tell every single person how SHIIIT THAT’S DOPE! this game really is. This type of engine and gameplay is what is going to usher in a whole new level of immersion, right back into your mother’s bosom.

Almost everyone gave DA2 praise.

It got faint praise, but every youtuber and podcaster I listened to back then were hot-and-cold about it. They all had the same complaints, it just depended on how much you cared that it was now action-oriented, shorter, and super-linear

If it's the Deep Roads and that magical tower or whatever place then it's literal casualfags who don't like it.

>it got faint praise
get out of here with your revisionist BS, it got LOADS of high praise.

AJ trashed it.
