After Dragon Age: The Veilguard Comes Up Short, BioWare Undergoes Layoffs

a shame really. I enjoyed the game. Was it as good as previous Installments. Perhaps not, but it did not deserve the amount of hate it got from people who quite literally need to go and touch grass.

Most video game writing is awful, so I don't even rate it, but I will say that my biggest issue with VG dialog is despite the fantasy setting, characters drop all sorts of cringey anachronistic modern slang that pulls me right out of the scene (that none of the characters used "rizz" is kind of surprising). Definitely not a lot of editorial oversight there. I guess that's what happens when you let Gen Z take over your company and Millennials run it.

Surprise! There’s consequences for alienating your core fanbase with this steaming pile of crap they call “Veilguard”.

Oh no, well anyway.

It's as if the entire gaming community didn't call this.

They refused to listen... So we spoke with our wallets. EA has been disconnected from the gaming community.

If real regulations were passed to protect consumers in the gaming industry, then EA would have been a dead company a decade ago.

They can take Jade Empire and Star Wars KOTOR as a big example to return to what people liked about Bioware back then. They should remember what's roleplaying to comprehend what was video RPG and why good old legendary RPGs are in the way they are. Instead they were drunk with an ignorant ego expecting their name alone will sell games, making their new video games nonsense simple mindless romantic relationship simulators suffers from walking simulation and listening to nonsense dialogues simulation. I know Mass Effect is lots of people's entry into video game industry as they have nostalgia and whatnot but Mass Effect series is a huge pile of shit on fire, it's broken reflection of Star Wars KOTOR that it seems more like Mass Effect series is bad quality fan made video games inspired by Star Wars KOTOR.

If Bioware had focused more on decent story, story progression, characters and dialogues instead of just copying real-life modern America and focusing so much on hair physics the game would turn up fine. But then there is the graphics issue too, cannot take the game seriously when it looks like bad mobile game developed for 4 years old kids. And then gameplay is bad too. IDK what EA and Bioware is smoking but what's clear is no one in the company who decide how to develop these games is a gamer. Back then gamers developed video games so it was good, now they pick random people who wanna brainwash kids, wanna show their artistic aspect or are just political develop digital rubbish and expect us to pay $100. Video game companies are like throwing themselves into fire and when they burn they are puzzled why they are under fire and why it failed to meet their expectations ayy lmao. I seriously think video game companies don't even think anymore. They just go into X (formerly Twitter), checks few accounts that clearly belongs to teens and after careful examination of their messages they start to believe they want a video game like Concord or some shit. :DDD

I'm pretty sure they blamed most of the loss on FC. Yet, you don't mention it at all. Why is that?

i don't mind if LGBTQ stuff is in games but they have to stop trying to shove it down people throats all the damn time it's getting to fanatic levels at bioware

their games are unforgettable. no one will forget how mediocre they are

If you don’t address your writing issues, ME4 won’t be good no matter how you reorganize the studio.

New team for the next ME.. 2 guys in a small room on the basement.

Everyone else... the boot.

Bioware fell 99% from grace when the two Doctors left the company they created.

This was some point in Mass Effect trilogy.

~This company was dead when Dragon Age Inquisition dropped with all it's

MMO style hollow empty. It's similar to Ai.

All the popular crap masses want but without substance..

EA could make MassEffect & Dragon Age great again if they wanted.

Juts like Madden & NHL but it's already raking in $$$ being mediocre.

WHeres the incentive?

Let's be honest, does anything ever meet EA's unrealistic expectations? Seriously, if any restructuring needs to occur, then it's in the sales/marketing department. No need to address the elephant in the room either, if the Gaming Industry hasn't accepted by now that they way they've been marketing their games for the past decade or so doesn't appeal to Gamers, then they never will, so expect more Barves to come in Mass Effect 4 because regardless of whether or not it appeals to the game's core demographic, it will be clumsily forced into a game, regardless of how little sense it makes within the setting.
