The game was in production for several years, but some retard journos blame EA for setting "unrealistic" financial targets. Well, I guess it WAS unrealistic to expect anything from current Bioware Laughing

Besides some indie lunatics, which major studio in their right mind will hire these xirs now? And as bendi said, some of these and their gamejourno buttbuddies still have the balls(or maybe not... ewwww) to say that EA set unrealistic expectations for sales Laughing
As for the next ME games, the people who are supposedly in that skeleton crew are mostly solid, and for writing they apparently have Mary deMarle which IMO has some solid names on her resume:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0972390/
including some as lead writer.
Which hopefully means she can tard-wrangle morons like trick weekes&co if they start taashing out the characters for that game.

DXHR was solid indeed.

Hollywood has been producing duds for at least half a decade now. Woke flop after woke flop. Somehow they still lacked the courage to change, because the politics of the era was not ready for anti-woke yet.

I feel like anti-woke stories in games would work more in these people's favour. If it's so hard being trans/gay/whatever, then show it. But also, don't use shit writers/activists to do it. Do it via people who can communicate human stories well.

If it stems from genuine emotion rather than being preachy, it'll be better received. The conversations in this game sound like politically correct 12 year old's trying to teach each other life lessons.

Even better if it was gone altogether, but if it's going to be there, it should be done well. I really hope all dev studios now point at DA:V as a lesson for what not to do.

Yes, this. It's all about the writing. It's not like movies from the 70s, 80s and 90s didn't have any LGBTQ characters. But they were represented in a realistic way.

I mean, even music (and actually good songs Very Happy ) back then had many queer references. Lola (The Kinks, 1970), Polythene Pam (The Beatles, 1969), etc.


There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

This isn't how you change minds or tell compelling stories/experiences.

where's the subtelty? Where's the show dont tell? Where's the fucking complexity? it's a bunch of cardboard cutouts from a nepobaby that got the writing gig.

But he's tight with all the wokémons that were dumped (and deservedly so) by bioware, no now he comes out with this bullshit. At least he doesn't seem to be a coward deleting comments on that video, as he's getting absolutely bodied down there Razz

Although the video is stupid the guy has a point.

Socials are incredibly toxic and people are insanely critical. It's not that games 10 years or more were released in a better state. Big RPG's were notorious for being unplayeble at release cause of game breaking bugs. Don't have a <1 year old PC, forget about playing a benchmark game (Quake, Far Cry, that era). Now people go beserk over microstutters Laughing . At release day, like if they can never patch that out.

Sure the woke stuff sucks, but do we realy play games for the story and do 2 or 3 cringeworthy scenes destroy the game? Tbh I hate woke, but it's so over the top that it's kinda funny in games.

Gaming development is just insanely hard. Sure, some devs are better then others. But there is no reason to hate for those dev that can't release the perfect game.

Think the problem is that hardware isn't pushing games to new hights. In the past when a crap game was released, at least it had good graphics. You'll had 2-3 AAA RPG's a year and the older ones were dated. People have seen it all and are not that impressed.
Also think this kills the AAA market. There are just to many alternatives, people aren't gonna pay 70 bucks for the new game when you can play a dozen similar games for way less.

Come on man. Gaming was so much more of a niche back then, especially on pc. And even more so, on that niche you had even smaller niches for every genre, unlike today where every game has to be for everyone. Devs made game for a specific audience, and most of them would excuse bugs and other minor issues because they got what they wanted. Now nobody really gets what they want, games are even more buggy, worse optimized and so on.

You laugh about stuttering, but stutters are way worse then just low fps. And also, games today just feel bad even at good fps. I don't know what it is, but older games at 60 and even 40fps don't feel as bad as some modern games at 80.

It's also just how prevalent social media is now, and how often this shit devs ruin it for themselves by acting unhinged on their company twitter or whatever, antagonizing portions of the fan-base, just making unnecessary comments to start shit.

And give me a break with this game development is hard nonsense. It's never been easier. You have less to do since teams are larger, you have much better tools and less to learn since everyone uses the same garbage UE today, and you have so much more time for development of a game. What makes it harder then 20 years ago?

There's just so little passion in game development anymore. And how could there be, when there's 300+ people working on a project? What sort of direction does a game even have now? There's too many cooks, and it's rare now to have a singular vision guide a product. So much feels designed by committee.

Most of the interesting games I've played for the past 5-10 years have come from indies and AA studios.

His point is still true. The people are losing their jobs due to people not BUYING the game. If they don't buy it then they won't find out that gameplay wise it's not bad at all. Companions and companion quests are cancer and the monstrosity that made this shit should never get hired again as anything but a garbage collector.

i hardly ever agree to anything Stormwolf says but here i concur

finished the game with the necromancer and that rogue dude as companions (most of the other companions died anyway by the end). i never encountered any of the horrible woke shit that clickbait-utubers have you believe this game is all about

warrior with Reaper/shield throw build was also quite entertaining to play

Good, they're not entitled to people buying their game. And as for the social media muh toxicity? Simple, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Or have a private account to shit on the chuds on, along with a public but strictly professional account. But these fucks always act like they're the smartest person on the room, so good luck with that.
And good luck with their new gigs, hopefully putting the fries inside the bag Aww Yeah
