B-but we hired a diverse staff, how could this have happened?

>>15575
To be fair no one from the real Bioware is involved with this.

When Brad doesn't like your game, the man who can be entertained by shiny objects, you fucked up.

>>15575
The bioware of today isn't the bioware that made Baldur's Gate.

>>15577
What happened with the rest of Bioware then, what happened with the old ME team, did they all get laid off or something or get put on some super secret new Dragon Age project.

>>15580
They fucking left, a bunch are actually on the Overwatch team now.

>>15560
3 more days. april 4th is big patch anouncement day

>>15579
>>15577
There is still a legacy there and weight to the fact that it says "Bioware" on the door.

Also they didn't purge the entire studio and replace everyone at once

>>15583

>>15575
its worth it just to see the selfies of the happy diverse staff :3

>>15583
Congratulations, you're a prime example of marketing at work.

>>15584
In this specific case it's people and not an object

If you have 100 people and replace one them every year, the 1 in the 99 is going to be influenced by what is there and after 100 years you still have some form of identity, of course it's different but I would argue that they somehow carried on the legacy and whatnot

But who fucking knows fact of the matter is they made a giant piece of shit and that's that, shut it down

>>15562
Doubtful.
Andromeda is still selling pretty well. Probably not what EA was hoping for, but still well enough to keep the series going. Mankind Dividend was a huge flop in terms of sales. It also probably cost more money to make than Andromeda.

>>15587
I'd argue that the spirit and ethics of the company come from the top, and trickle down. The founders are long gone, we know that, the lead writer for the ME series left a long time ago as well, and a bunch of other senior staff have been credited on other games over the years (meaning they left/fired/etc).

I would agree that there is some old staff there, but to argue that they have any real impact from their cubicles is a bit asinine I think. Like cutting off the head of a chicken really, the thing will still writhe around but it ain't what it used to be.

>>15588
It sold well because it says Mass Effect, but the next game will suffer from this even if it's good
Asscred 3 to Black Flag thing

Also they fucked it up twice now, there are as many good as bad games in the Mass Effect series so I'm wondering how many times they can keep fucking up

They already went full "t-this is stand alone" on this one though so I'm sure they will try again, question is just how long they'll wait

upon watching gameplay for it, I actually think it looks pretty good. 1 was my favorite for how it felt like a space soap opera, and I despised 2 for turning it into hurr durr bullshit action garbage. I didn't even bother with 3. If this game is as exploration focused as 1 then I'm definitely interested in it. Fuck all these reviewers saying "ITS NOT AS GOOD AS THE SERIES USED TO BE" when their view of the series highlight is 2.

Bioware thought that the "progressive" game market exists, when in reality it exists only to piss people off, even the "SJWs" that it so panders to.

>EA took one look at this abomination and didn't even bother to pay off game journalist shills because they knew how shit it was
>SJWs scramble and claim that it was bad because it wasn't progressive enough
>what little fun there was, is bugged beyond belief to a point where it is unplayable (going out of bounds, npc pop-ins that block your path)
>the human interaction (which was the soul core of the mass effect franchise) is actually worse than fucking Two Worlds

They thought that it being a progressive game was enough, and everything else was secondary.

>I've ended up enjoying this game quite a bit. Doesn't hold up to ME2 but I'd put it before one or three. Never got hit with any weird bugs.

>Playing this on xbone has been a joy, great game. Sad Brad didn't have the same fun with it.

>Maybe it's because I've played on PC but youse guys have been WAAYYYY too hard on this game in a way that feel malicious and gleeful. I've put in maybe 30 hours and have had a great time, it's still providing a Star Trek experience no other game series is and I enjoy the characters alot. It's unfair to shit on them because in one game they're not as cool as Garrus, Talia, Wrex and Joker who I spent 3 games, 9 or so DLC packs, and 6 or 7 years with.

That's how. Just pretending all the people having issues are weird outliers, with a healthy helping of vintage Bioware "why are you guys bullying us, this is just evil goober gators shitting on the Greatest Company Ever"

sjws don't buy games as they are to busy paying for truvada and sex change operations so your ONLY option is to market it to gamers in general, some are right wing, some are left wing, so you have to be very tact about it, so shoving shit like pic related into a game people is a good way of losing cash hurr we are going to make the pseudo fascist raptors gay because sjws demand it
Let's not forget the genofag, the mountains of fags ON A COLONY MISSION WHERE THE NUMBER ONE GOAL IS TO KNOCK UP BITCHES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and other cringe worthy leftist dribble
Add to this the nail in the coffin that is the fact the game sucks enough dick to be mistaken for a gay porno and you have something 50% of the population wouldn't touch with a god damn 10ft pole

The best/worst part about this is that this is going to bite bioware in the ass down the line, some company will make an rpg that doesn't pander on politics, either by ignoring it or by providing fair options for both sides, that readds lost aspects of rpg games such as the ability to be either a dick or flat out evil, and it will have half way descent gameplay

This game will be like rain in a desert for RPG gamers such as myself and people will flock to that company begging for more games that don't blow, and Biowhore will lose cash, and die.

I think on some level this was a part of EA's decision to make bioware a game that shits out sjw crap I mean didn't they try and kick up a controversy about that?

>>15631
No they are gay for eachother anon, and as we all know gays are totally know for their loyalty to eachother, it's not like homosexuals don't have the highest infidelity rate or anything

I don't even care that they have trans this and gay whatever in there, that sort of stuff is just a part of the natural variety of societies. What pisses me off is how it always feels rammed in there for its own sake instead of any of the traits being just a single facet of character building.

In that specific example, why the hell would that even be relevant for the one paragraph report? Why not just leave it as that he wanted someone he was close with to succeed him as a criterion for joining up, instead of this weird salacious gossip shit about WAS HE A HOMO OH HO HO HOOOOO?

though on the bright side I suppose that what with almost all the characters being abysmally written we're not likely to be missing much

Out of the best selling game of this year?

The fact some autists bitch about it and it gets less than 90% metascore wont stop it from selling millions.

because if they did it naturally we would only see like 2 gays and then you get sjw fucks that are angry because they aren't 50% of the fucking games population.
So we have to add rumors, and make half of the squadmates gay, and have to make the transgender person tell us flat out they used to have a cock

At least that person is now out of a job and the company they are a part of will soon die

Mass Effect 3, with its insufferable amount of auto dialogue and butchered dialogue system that took out neutral responses features more choices to make than Andromeda.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Instead of choosing between two binary but radically different responses with radically different outcomes, you get to choose from four responses that are all pretty much the same. How Mass Effect 3 remains more of an RPG than Andromeda is fucking inconceivable but Bioware managed to fuck it up even more.

It probably isn't the end of this company quite yet, but you can see it from here.

It would never not be ham fisted, you cannot add gay people into a game by force and not make it seem like it was on purpose flat out, the best you can do is have tact and make as many lgbtetc people as there are in greater society aka less than 5% that way you avoid the total forcing aspect and the right wing people that would care would be some what satisfied it isn't being shoved in their faces

>>15649
You know, In a military, strictly professional setting, how often is a character's sexuality a factor? I mean, what do I care if an alien likes it in the butthole? It's supposed to be work, sexuality and other personal traits should only come up if you decide to have conversations with people.

>>15629
/pol/ does something that the other side doesn't... The keenly observe, report upon and analyze their enemies. They're right because they're the ones that make an effort to understand what the other side is up to...

>>15588

Number 1 in sells for like 2 weeks and running. So someone is buying the game. No real offical numbers, but it had topped the charts 2 weeks in a row.

>>15655

Most people bought it one the name alone.

It will be the next game that shows the repercussions.

>>15657
Absolutely. I don't understand how bioware still doesn't understand this. It's probably related to the fact that voice over costs money, so every character has to have as few lines as possible, but everyone in these games just walks up to you and says "Hey, I'd like some dick now, please". It's just so badly done that it would be much better if they didn't even try to add any romance.

I mean, the guys at obsidian seem to get it. Realistic romance takes a lot of writing, so they just save all that money and don't even bother.

>>15660
yeah shame there aren't more games like kotor 2
I mean some how that games version of carth ended up being deeper then half your fucking team

>>15653
It depends entirely on the personality of the individual. I know a lot of guys that served primarily in combat arms that are all switched on dudes that wouldn't regale you with stories of sexual conquests and are pretty self aware dudes.

I know lots of childish idiots from the Navy, Air Force and non-combat MOS that are fucking loser idiots just like any other civilian.

The military isn't just a single homogeneous workplace. It's dozens of industries, so to speak, that work towards supporting a security oriented mission.

You have trigger pullers, you have LEOs, accountants, fighter pilots, transport pilots, mechanics and plumbers and doctors and nurses... It's basically a cross section of civilian life in terms of the occupations available, with the addition of a few that are combat specific... So, ask yourself, are there people in the civilian world that make a big deal of their sexuality? Well, they exist in the military too.
