In before the plethora of people shittalking BioWare and how it's 'not the same anymore' blah blah blah.
Mass Effect 2 was the last great game Bioware made. So, yeah.
EA is well known for turning studios to shit. They have quite the impressive graveyard at this point.
ME3 was great up until the last 5 minutes.
ME3 might’ve shit the bed but Dragon Age: Inquisition was still great and sold over 12 million copies
they're all good. what is this elitist weird shit. lol.
TIL having an opinion on what games are bad is "elitist weird shit"
I mean the last Bioware game I played and enjoyed start to finish was Dragon Age: Origins, so... /shrug.
I accept that ME2 was a good game, but I couldn't get into it. It felt too much like a shooter, too little like an RPG for me. And don't get me started on DA2. "ANOTHER WAVE!" and character customization being kneecapped, or completely removed in the case of your party members, left me quitting it after some 3-4 hours.
Inquisition was okay, but I still lost interest after some 6-8 hours. It wasn't "bad," but it was still an okay game wearing a good games skin.
Bioware losing the creative freedom to explore characters outside of the mainstream that the saudi's are going to permit them to write/create is a real problem. As a marker of political freedom of expression and as a stance against the fucking fascists that are rapidly encroaching on people's rights, this is a huge step in the wrong direction. But I won't mourn any specific games. Honestly, I hope they get axed, so they are given the opportunity to go indie and/or get picked up by a better producer/studio.
