BioWare reportedly shut down because EA bosses chose to invest in the development of Star Wars: Battlefront 3 over Mass Effect 5.
Who cares? Were you really going to play the Saudi Kushner Mass Effect?
“Shit company makes shitty decision, explains it in shitty way.”
Won’t change much cause we already shouldnt be giving them our business long before this. If you really must play something from one of these companies, pirate it and dont tell anyone you played it.
I mean honestly it’s fine because I don’t want to buy anymore EA games anyways. No temptation this way.
I’ll likely pirate BF3 just cause of the nostalgia I have for 1&2, but EA won’t be seeing a red cent from me. Tbf though, the only developers seeing red cents from me have been small indie guys. I’ve bought Stardew valley 3 times(switch, Android, steam) ffs, if you create something I like, I will support you!
Edit; I just realized I lied cause I will day one purchase anything from fromsoft.
Yeah, I used to be somewhat against pirating games but at this point fuck these corpo pricks. They have enough money, I likely just won’t bother pirating a lot of games as I have so much to play elsewhere and yeah I will just buy more and more from smaller teams. And yes I will also still day one purchase most FromSoft titles. The only ones I haven’t gotten are the more multiplayer focused games.
Corpos should die so gaming could live.
I mean, they kinda are. These big franchises aren’t doing as well as companies would like and indie games are doing really well.
Then people wonder why nothing new has come to replace the +50 year old franchises. This whole century is an exercise in monetizing nostalgia; it’s what the lengthening of IP protections paved the way for, and it is sort of stagnating popular culture.
Dont look to big corporations for new and unique experiences. That’s pretty much the opposite of what they do. They make money off of nostalgia for the most part.
Yeah. Pragmata was a pretty cool original IP that came out recently. But it’s seen as a risk to be original now
My nostalgia of Star Wars got ruined by the terrible new trilogy movies and terrible tv shows. Sole exception being Andor which was amazing, but definitely an outlier.
I havent given the IP a chance since phantom menace.
I really should, people say some are incredible, but the sparkles gone. It just looks like work to me now.
Andor is great since it feels like a war series that happens to have a Star Wars back drop, but would be a great series on its own too. Covers regular people as opposed to force users doing jedi stuff, so can be enjoyed without the Star Wars baggage. Feels relevant too with it covering facism.
It’s a scifi series much closer to the Expanse than Star Wars.
To be fair, Mass Effect 5 wasn’t exactly going to be an experimental original thing either.
Shitty game gets cancelled so shitty game can live, who gives a fuck?
In what way is Mass Effect 5 shitty? Also I do not think that Battlefront 3 would be shitty as well, given the history of Battlefront 2.
All the mass effect games were shit and battlefront ended on the ps2, lol.
“I didn’t like the game so it must be objectively bad”
Who said objectively?
Mass Effect games are one of the best videogames in history. What did you smoke? Battlefront 2 is a good game for what it does. I would like to understand why you think all Mass Effect games were shitty.
Happy for you 👍
Thanks for agreeing with me and accepting you were wrong.
I hope you learn how to read one day, lol
👍 no arguments left, so you give me right.
How was the new Mass Effect “shitty”?
How were any of them not shitty, lol?
The entire first three games are regarded as some of the best sci-fi RPGs ever created?
By who, lmao?
I had a discussion with him and looks like its a troll account. The account is a few days old too. Not worth to waste time (in my opinion, you are free to do what you want!).
The Mass Effect series is well regarded by fans and outlets, especially so 1 and 2.
Of course it’s well regarded by fans. They’re fans, lmao.
Outlets are completely irrelevant.
Of course it’s well regarded by fans. They’re fans, lmao.
What is that an argument?? If the games were bad, then they would hate it and wouldn’t be fans. So what exactly do you try to say with that argument?
Outlets are completely irrelevant.
They are not. If a game gets high scores and is loved by its fans and players, then its a good game in the series.
👍

Well, the previous one wasn’t good and we didn’t have any reason to believe that BioWare did their aftermath homework. So “shitty” might be a too strong word, but the overall idea is quite ok.
Horrible tradeoff from a gaming standpoint. I’m sure numbers show it’ll be wildly profitable and of course they should have done it. We all know tens of thousands of people will happily buy a battlefront 3 as well.
We had one great Mass Effect trilogy that brought love and hope to so many, I loved it so dear, while I’m sad there won’t be another I’m also so glad we got the trilogy. It’s such a huge part of my life in so many deep personal ways. If that’s the way EA wants to sever my relationship to them, so be it.
Your comment is really wise.
In a way we got a perfect Mass Effect trilogy with a beginning and an end.
Yes it would be nice to have other stories in the same universe but then you risk lowering our memories of Mass Effect…(I know Andromeda exists but I haven’t played it…)
I used to love Star Wars but Episode IX was so bad I now struggle with the other ones even if I already found the prequels cheesy and disguting with too much CGI…
Agreed. These games brought me to gaming after 15 years hiatus, love the trilogy dearly and have been wanting to fully replay it since I never got to play any of the DLC.
Oh the DLC are phenomenal. Few games get high praise for their DLC but Mass Effect 2 and 3 do. Citadel is the perfect capstone to the trilogy, and if you haven’t played ME3 with Citadel well you are in for a treat
i loved the shadow broker dlc for 2
Damn it, the wrong battlefront three survived.
