This is it lads, Bioware is kill. You'd think they'd learned by now

Their time of troubles began after Origins aka when EA took over and plenty of former leads left quoting "not liking where the series was going" as their reason. Flash forward ten years and we are where we are.

he doesn't look like ventrue prince there

>Anthem bombs
>make DA4 more like Anthem

If it wasn't for the mongoloids who buy FIFA every year EA would have bankrupted themselves 20 years ago.

You just know it's IRL shitposting because Andrew Wilson is Australian

It's simply how business runs. These games take YEARS to develop. You cannot course correct on a dime like that, and that's real bad for a trend chaser publisher like EA. You'd think they would bury the idea of microtransactions after Battlefront 2 died on that hill, but nope.

>Anthem but with swords and dragons!
I fricking cannot wait for this epic master piece!

>DA2 was horribly executed because 18 month dev
>bioware got slapped for it
>ME3 spectacularly failed to live up to the marketing hype
>bioware got slapped for it
>DA3 released in a terrible state and only had some success because it released 6 months ahead of Witcher 3
>bioware received some praise from the press and meh sales
>ME4 was a failure we haven't seen in AAA gaming so far
>bioware got slapped for it
>Anthem was and still is a massive failure in every single regard
>bioware got slapped for it
>all in all they flushed about 500mil

EA shuttered studios after one single failure and bioware gets to keep existing after 5. No matter what they do, they are never getting the axe. It's EAs last studio focused on AAA singleplayer games.

Because EA really wants their in-house RPG studio.

Bioware has been an empty name since ME2

Anthem is such a shitshow. The game somehow get's worse with each new patch. This is one of top players in Anthem and even he is done.

Bioware started being smugger than ever around 2010 because ME2 was successful. Then they put out that abortion of a game called DA2 and started a one sided cold war with CDProjekt. Dragon age was utterly ruined by their rushing to beat The Witcher. Canacucks defeated by poles, glorious.
>blamed homophobia for DA2 and ME3's shortcomings
>forced diversity in an attempt to gain invincibility towards criticism from Inquisition onwards, it didn't work
>now they want to monetize
RIPIP

And if BL2 turns out to be a big success EA might buy hardsuit labs and then slowly fade out bioware.

>BL2
And then Andrew Wilson will be a true Ventrue prince, memes are real

>Bioware died after ME1
FTFY

DA:O is good. GritEdge Effect should've been a side story at best, true.

Wowie. Dead before it even started, let alone arrive.

gg EA. You’re doing good work

Bioware has been dead since ME3.

You know user, you may have a point, but you're a dumbass.

But Mass Effect 3 is literally fastest and best selling game they got

Thanks.

They got funding for another game? How?

Because of its insane marketing campaign and they were riding on the success that was ME2, it attracted all the GoW and CoD kids

Because of the release hype. It made something like 90% of its lifetime sales in the first 2 months, the other 10% are curiosity sales caused by the shitstorm.

>Diversity is not anyone's strength
Diversity is good, though. In Nox, for example, playing the game as a different class is still very enjoyable as it shows how events would unfold from a different perspective. Even when you go through the same areas. What you mean is agenda-pushing.

You'd think they have a working formular after 3 games.

Yes, agenda pushing within the game itself and how the dev team was diversity above competency. A studio that has since then been shutdown.

>be like anthem
What? They want to make a $60 with a cash shop that's basically empty? Even anthem fans were bitching at bioware to add cosmetics to buy but they didn't have shit to sell. Imagine that, the game is fresh and new and in its honeymoon phase, people have money to burn on cosmetics in a $60 game but they end up not spending money because there's nothing there.
Anthem's whole monetization scheme is to trickle out shit to buy and make it available for 2-3 days at a time before it gets rotated out for other cosmetics, one problem is they show the same items a lot, the other problem is that the game is a mess and it sucks so when the honeymoon phase ended no one wanted to spend any money on that shit anyway.

Anyone who is hyped for DA4 has to be retarded at this point, EA is retarded too for not just closing bioware down, they killed off visceral and criterion for making good games that didn't sell enough but they keep bioware who just makes garbage and wastes money.

anybody who had any faith in DA, or any "BioWare" game for that matter after DA II is legit retarded. I have no remorse for any of you

>This tier of graphics and animation
>Years of time to improve and innovate

I suddenly understand Graphic-Fags pain.

No one knows. It's funny, the Dead Space devs were shafted after Dead Space 3, but not Bioware. Funny how life works.

Literally doesn't matter.
EA is making more money than ever. That's what matters to the shareowners.

Yeah. EA's retarded GaaS mandates are doing their part to kill Bioware, mainly because Bioware's strengths as a developer were partial to single player games and not live service shit, but BW leadership has appears to have dicked around for years with nothing to show except bad games and worse PR. EA should clean house of management there almost entirely.

Not from Bioware games that's for sure.

Bioware is changing to appeal to better money making type of games as the ceo dictactes.
Money acquired through sales are no longer enough to EA ambitions. And either bioware delivers much more profitable games(which is not the same as good) or it gets the axe in favor for better money investments.
They want that kind of profitability in the rpg world. As then can't simply pump more fps and sports games as they dry their base in micro transactions, they are trying to get more transactions in other genres.

So they're gonna make it even more like an MMO AND with microtransactions? Yeah, that'll definitely go well. It's almost like EA wants BioWare to fail.

Das rite

It's better to sell 1 million copies to people that keep paying every month for more than year, than an oldschool 10million sales and thats it

EA is shitty but I agree with this. EA gave them funding for a Mass Effect game (which was hyped/desired by the community) and a surprising amount of free reign over the project, supposobly only needing to meet the requirement of: multilayer with "supply crates" and dlc potential.
Then what does Bioware do? They say 'no thanks, we'd rather make a destiny mmo rip-off and will send all of our best writers/programmers etc to work on that instead'
They deserve what happens to them.
