And it'll bing the whole team down in the long run. It's Bioware.
Good luck releasing that new IP and new Dragon Age game.
People don't forgive, people don't forget.

Will wait a month or two for it to be patched, to see if they fix a lot of the bugs or pick it up cheap if it's not fixed.
To be honest, Fallout 4 for me is the least buggiest game by bethesda(still its buggy in some cases). But ME:A takes the cake, with the looks of it.
You sir are a genius for thinking of this
This is true, look how well Ghost Recon is selling.

Is currently staging a hunger strike outside Gearbox HQ while trying to hate them to death
Everyone who had been following both game's development, that's who. ME:A has clearly been in trouble since it's kinda/sorta announcement, and Horizon has always looked polished as fuck.
You can surely emulate them, and to be fair PC ports are just now getting good from Japanese studios. You really are missing out on gaming royalty by not playing many Japanese games though. Something in that water just spawns amazing games. Breath of the wild even proves that Nintendo hasn't lost their touch to this day despite skyward sword being a thing.

Why are you looking at that one when it has less reviews and likely will have less reviews than the PS4 version?
You shut your ho mouth 😢
I think it's the best Dragon Age game
, but i also think Dragon Age is a mediocre series

But how many on the gaming side watch Lastweek Tonight.
Probably gonna sell well but might do more damage in the long run. Not that EA cares.
Not enough :3

Ghost Recon has a mass appeal that ME doesnt really have tho. It's a dudebro co-op shooter that had a lot of marketing behind it. ME is pretty much strictly appealing to "hardcore" gamers who have been seeing it get pretty much crucified for the last 2 weeks.
Agree and then disagree lol
That was a horrible year for games so its score probably got inflated a bit. I didn't think that highly of DA:I and I still consider it one of the best big games released that year.
I dunno. Release in summer? But missing the fiscal corporate year is a big deal.
It will sell fine. But reviews and word of mouth matter. Considering all these companies create sales projections for these games, I have a very hard time seeing ME:A outperform projections. That will be what's it's success is judged against at a corporate level.
Really curious to see how I feel about this in the end. I could not get through DA:I even though I usually am fine with Bioware games, and the trial was fun enough for me even if it definitely has issues.
Sucks to see this either way as I really enjoy the series, but such a long dev time scoring like this is a bad look.

Feel let down by EA/Bioware
Love the series but ever since the gameplay reveal I felt deep down there was something off about the game.
The one game I wanted to see be a critical hit....pretty dejected about it but half expected.

I read enough on the RockPaperShotgun review, instead of learning from their past mistakes in writing, they just doubled down in awfulness. God the examples mentioned sounded beyond stupid especially after games like Shadowrun, The Witcher 3, Pillars, etc. have done a admirably better job at giving you some nuance.
This is the kind of writing I have grown to expect from a Bethesda game, and now Bioware have sunk to that level as well. Not even a polite-sorta "You do you." answer.
Especially based on gameplay, where I feel personally Japan comes out ahead. But hey to each their own. Not surprised on the reviews, combat looks decent enough, but the game comes off as a joke during the role playing part.
Mario? Zelda? Dark Souls? Dragon Quest?
Like... to write off an entire countries' games is just astounding.
I think it's questionable if there will be a next game. The main teams at BioWare have moved on from ME and EA generally doesn't hesitate to kill franchises.
nah, it's the one with captain Archer.

Yikes. I guess one of the big games released in the first quarter this year had to disappoint.

Agreed. Fallout 4 was quite polished for a Bethesda game.
At least there's no noticeable gamebreaking bugs like in their previous games.

The player face while reloading is hilarious. Is this edited?
Aside from the less reviews, it could be an interesting point, that was also mentioned earlier in the thread, that some recent PS4 games have raised the bar, leading to reviews looking at ME:A with harsher eyes.
Not sure I agree with that though, with the time I spent with the trial, it's clear the game is a bit of a mess.

I really liked DA: I.
Yeah pretty much. I've started nier and it's holding my interest so far but man it gets a pass on a lot of things...its not a well made game technically. A lot of similar issues regarding dialogue and animations but no one is talking about it in that way just praising it.
No clue, saw it on the gif thread and felt compelled to share it.

Get Obsidian Entertainment to do mass effect

Haha yep same.
My hate for DA:I is solely the trepidation that it's bad sides were going to bleed over to my precious Mass Effect. Which turned out true to my disgust. Evaluated on its own merit, it's the best game in a weak series.
I don't think he was for 2 and it shows. ME3 seems to get free ride except for the ending but the whole game was poorly written.

This is sad.
Is Mac Walters still the lead writer? After Drew left everything kind of went downhill in the writing department in the franchise.
Get Chris Avellone back.
oh my god can you imagine chris avellone's mass effect
gimme gimme
Saw the PS4 version (since it's in the op) start at 77, drop down to 73, now at 75. Just wondering how high the game will reach. Think it's been at 77 even around half the reviews it has now. Not to say it won't start dropping.
Nier has SIMILAR issues regarding dialogue and animations? Wtf?
