bioware have some of the most open gameplay mechanics if your bored play another game

Simon_Brezhnev5836d ago

Mass Effect 2 wasnt really that open world imo. The only open part that was open was when you go do your teammate lil problem mission to get their trust. I dislike Dragon's Age more after playing Mass Effect 2. Mass Effect 2 had so much quality over Dragon's Age. He does make some valid points though Bioware do copy and paste a lot and just change the title. Funny thing is a lot of 360 owners first rpg is Mass Effect and dont know nothing about Bioware previous games. I really want to see Bioware do a villian type game instead of always saving the world/universe.

rezznik5835d ago

As much as I enjoyed Mass Effect 2, I'm still calling it how I see it...it's linear >>....

despair5835d ago

it is pretty linear but non the less a great game...why does linear mean bad ?

Megaton5835d ago

Yeah, I really like Mass Effect 2, but it is extremely linear. You have the choice to pick which linear segment you wanna play first, but that doesn't change the shoestring maps.

jjohan355835d ago

I got so tired of Dragon Age's endless dialogue after dialogue. I felt like the majority of the game was simply choosing conversation lines. If that was the case, I'd rather go into a chatroom and talk to real people.

raztad5835d ago

All the contrary most of the best game I've played have been very linear/focused.

It doesnt mean I dont enjoy a good open sandbox, but some of the so called open world games are just time wasters, filled with boring crap. I cant stand them for long.

earbus5835d ago

Alot xbox owners have been fans since jade empire and kotor .

Why only a loser would care. Just that, they're a loser.

Caspel5835d ago

I would agree that BioWare does tend to use typical formats for each game, but I still do favor their storytelling when compared to their competition in the industry.

MGRogue20175835d ago (Edited 5835d ago )

There is only so much of Mass Effect 2 that you can take before it's just completely dull &.. not fun, really

DelbertGrady5835d ago

I take it you haven't played it?

MGRogue20175835d ago

I have played & completed it, my friend. :)

DarkBlade46585835d ago

I'm gonna go out on a limb and agree with you here. ME 1 and 2 were amazing games, and truly a blast to play through, but honestly I can't find myself going on scanning planets, etc.

Mass Effect - N7 DAY 2025

Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno205d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos205d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg205d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb205d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum205d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

BioWare needs to follow Larian’s lead and just “embrace people’s cool choices”, veteran EA developer

Speaking on a recent episode of the FRVR Podcast, veteran EA developer Alex Hutchinson—who worked on The Sims 2, Spore and Army of Two: The 40th Day—explained that the studio is already no longer the studio fans fell in love with, but it should be safe from censorship of its games’ political beliefs.

Who didn’t see this coming lol

Armaggedon205d ago

BioWare should find the center and focus. Chasing someone else’s shadow will likely lead to failure.

What the EA deal could mean for BioWare, The Sims, and more

If you’re worried about EA’s future, you’re in good company. The acquisition is unprecedented on many levels, and it throws the future of EA's studios and some of its biggest franchises —including BioWare, The Sims, Apex Legends, and Battlefield — into doubt. Industry analysts have varying predictions about what could come next. However, there are a few constants — namely, that EA will likely implement large-scale spending reductions and sell off its less profitable studios.

thorstein235d ago

How can you be an analyst and not look at Tencent and know exactly what's about to happen: massive layoffs, decline in quality, and loss revenue.

It is Toys R Us all over again, and JCPenney and Sears and so many more. EA lost is vision before 2000. It's an old stodgy corporation. It's not going to recover.

Retroman235d ago

If Ea sell studio that develop NFS wishful thinking Saudi investers put Blackbox studio back together. get rid of online racing, drive to a race or no races at all wasting time playing nfs for NO reason at all thanks to Unbound, Heat, Payback, Rivals.

They'll start working on FIFA, Madden, UFC, and some mobile games.

gold_drake234d ago

i think that games that are not Sports games or Shooters will cease to exist, since they are the big money makers.

not sure why anyone would agree to this. especially to rich saudis of all people ha they have more money than they'll ever need
