- Don't be sarcastic to Bioware, they have made great titles and games in the past. If anyone is to blame, its EA. I'm not attacking anyone, but EA acts more like a business than a gaming company, they care more about the profits than the game itself. Bioware on the other hand, takes creating games seriously, that's why they strive to make their games the most life like. When EA seen the profits of the first game, they wanted to take more control, and that's the reason of the decline in the game.
I won't lie, I do like ME3, but compared to the first two, its mediocre. I will take ME1 any day over 2 and 3. I hate to say it, but the gaming industry is really going downhill, because everyone wants to be a shooter with an awesome online play.
-If we cant be sarcastic or critical of Bioware, who then can we be critical of? EA's number two came out and stated that the ghosts of xmas past (Westwood Origin and Bullfrog) would not be joined by Bio and that more creative and innovative gaming was the business focus.
However the treatment of DA2 and now apparently ME3 seems to go very much against those words.
I didnt put much stock in EAs words, and I was frankly miffed when Bioware sold out to EA. But I thought that Bioware might actually be preserved and that its storytelling tradition, the gold standard of the business, would be preserved. Now I am afraid that the next bio title will be "DA3: Diablo" or "ME4:
Syndicate". Games where the storyline and rpg elements are at the very best, flimsy elements better forgotten to get more "pew pew".
Hell even if the creative core of Bioware went solo today and started a new publishing house they would have some serious legwork cut out for them to get some of the oldtimers back. Would you trust a Bioware exec to deliver the storytelling of old after the recent empirical evidence to the contrary? I wouldnt.
So now I have to look elsewhere for storydriven games to my liking. Bioware prolly wont give a crap, and EA certainly wont. The high fiscal turnover that the console and pew pew crowd represent means that they can violate most of Biowares IPs for a few years and then fold the Bioware studio into the EA collossus of fail like they have done so many times before. And where do I go? I go get my storytelling from games like "Witcher" and even FO:NV. And thats sad. Because whilst Bethestda seems to have gotten the message "Stick with what you are good at (sandbox gaming) and then evolve and elaborate on what you lack (storytelling)" Bioware seems to have completely missed the memo.
