JPDunks4 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 And the guy taking over Dragon Age was the guy in charge of rebooting Anthem, so that is likely even more dead than it already was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Bioware is dead. It's sad. But then I remember that we have CDPR, Larian, and Obsidian and I feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a good run going making better versions of Bethesda and Biowares' games. KOTOR 2 would have easily been better than KOTOR 1 if LucasArts had actually let them fucking finish the game.

It was, by design, made for a smaller audience And the gaming community is better for having devs willing to make games with specific appeals, which is why I still think it's worth mentioning them.

Mr.Vic20 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 I LOVED pillars and II was even better. I'm very much looking forward to Avowed, despite its switch to first person/open world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate that the game they have made that I should like, I think they suck. I dislike TOW a bunch, and at least for me, New Vegas was lame. There were improvements to the gameplay, but Fallout game play isn't really good in general, so that left the story and setting which I ended up not caring for.

If you like the kind of game they were returning to (BG) I'm not sure how you could dislike Pillars. But if you still don't I think their games are great, and Pillars is perhaps even the most obvious example of carrying the torch Bioware used to carry, so I stand by my list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Oh, no. I don't like CRPGs like Pillars and I only found that out because I tried it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should know better. EA destroys studios, always has. Bioware isnt going anywhere, but the people who made them great have been gone for years.

ARZ Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 If EA was smart they'd push out Bioware games - including remasters, before letting all the talent bleed dry and kill it off. Where's my non-MMO KOTOR, Jade Empire sequel, new ME, fixed Anthem, new Dragon Age I mean FFS, EA owns BIOWare AND Star Wars - WTF? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 After I get my Mass Effect Legendary Edition, EA can take them out back and shoot them if they want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
