Hopefully, internally at least they'll be able to look honestly at where DA2 has failed to live up to it's predecessor.
Including whether PC voice over was a good decision.

The answer with regards to the recycled level layouts was pretty revealing. The suggestion that Bioware were obliged to either recycle areas or cut content altogether says everything about the pressures exerted from EA. I sympathise, I really do, but take Mikes answer as proof enough that this game was a rush job. Indeed, if there is one lesson to be learned from the DA2 fallout, it must surely be that changes in presentation do less than nothing to paper over blatant shortcuts and shortcomings.

Actually those defending it now and those who are settling in for watering and dumbing down the western cRPG genre are doing the industry a great favour. Because the industry doesn't want another BG, PS:T or FO. They want 10 hours button mashing multiplayer fillerplot frenzies which are cheap and cheerful to make.sympathy4saren wrote...
People who settle for at best mediocrity and viciously defend it are doing the entire gaming industry a giant disservice. An annoyance when genuine rpg fans are forced to share the tent with hack and slash and shooter fanboys.
The game wants you to proceed to the next stage and your only option is to say ''sure that sounds like fun'' or ''Are you out of your mind that sounds dangerous''
Lol... I know what you mean. If I had a better understanding on how to run a company, I would definitely seize this moment as an opportunity. I bet another company is already working on something.Hammer6767 wrote...
Actually, I always thought that the people who were most disgruntled should band together and redirect some of that angst into creating a product they envision. Just create a business plan, find a venture capitalist, and hire some artists, writers and programmers. Then you can compete with Bioware!

Without the evolution of personal computers, console games would not exist. PC games contribute to the economic success of computers. If the pc game market dries up, the computer industry becomes slightly unstable. Once personal computers go out of existence, console games will also go out of business.
What tool do you think they use to make console games? Crayons?

The interview is fine. I wish people who didn't like DA2 would get their heads out of their arses and think that maybe just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's a bad game as a fact. It's an opinion.
Sure, the reuse of areas is annoying. But when you have a deadline, which is probably what they had... I'll take content any day over new maps that seldom get used.
And yes, the majority of anti-DA2ers ARE mad and throwing tantrums that this isn't Origins 2.
.... guess what, I'm sure DA3 won't be Origins 3 either.

If you have done any PC tech support you would know that the vast majority of Casual PC gamers know very little about their systems. Unfortunately, with modern games, you have to understand hardware, drivers and patching. All those headaches go away for consoles.

As a customer you are accepting EAs policy of cuting development time shorter and shorter. This kind of attitude allows them to continue with that just like everyone buying overpriced DLC has shifted the whole gaming market towards that strategy.

As usual. The PC gamer opinions don't matter, yet again. And you wonder why people are upset?
The PC gamer never gets what they want. It's always the console gamer.

That the BG series actually made money and so are worth the invesment is a moot point to them. It's all about cutting OPEX and minimalizing CAPEX, while trying to ensure consumer loyalty through multiplayer and DLC.
And those who are defending Bioware now with DA2 are basically giving a kiss-of-death to the western cRPG genre. Think this genre will never die? Look at what happened to the western Adventure genre games that Sierra and Lucasarts once made. Dead as the Dodo. cRPGs are next, with Bioware as the grand excecutioner.
Hope that wasn't overly dramatic.

I like the part where he mentions how much MORE could have been stripped out er,, i mean "streamlined" for DA2. No party members, no inventory, OMG they almost want full balls out to turn it into a pure action game with no semblance of RPG game conventions other than lots of talking heads.

I'm constantly upgrading the firmware on my PS3, and patching the games (Hard Rain for example). There is less manual tweaking involved (although I can go in and dink around with some of the settings, but patching and driver updates are still present, just less manual.

I also find it offensive why they feel the need to simplify an rpg made for rpg fans...especially when conventional wisdom says don't change a good thing. What they are saying is: "scoot over, rpg fans...we need money from fans of other genres, too, so just bite the bullet and keep your mouth shut..."
So, if I say that as an RPG fan I disagree with your conclusion, what would you do?
