Meh, they're having fun.

Part of why we opened this is also for people to stop filling up DA2 forums with DA3 threads. It was not exactly the best kept secret in the entire world and all.

[Fast Jimmy]

No, we can't dwell... not today.


Not on SprintReviewDay!

[Fredward]

Why IS it called SPRINTreviewday anyway? Is there sprinting involved? It seems an odd way to hold a meeting in that case. xp

Ha. You would have done poorly in the three year span between DAO's announce and its reveal. If you expect the forums to be a place where information is provided, coming here during that time is definitely an exercise in frustration.

It's part of Agile Development, where a game development cycle is split up into milestones-- which are further split up into three-week sprints. So a sprint review is where everyone gets together and reviews the progress which has been made over the last three weeks, and tracking how close we are to meeting our goals for the milestone.

I'm not fond of these tweets neither

That's a double negative.

I like the tweets, shows the devs like what they're doing. And I likes me some happy devs. xp

Me, too

Huh. I liked the mental image of devs sprinting through streets while holding laptops showing powerpoint presentations in suits in ties more tbh.

[Kaidan Fan]

I, personally, like reading the tweets as they work on the game. It's quite clever how they tell us things without really telling us anything. I'm sure they snicker heartily while posting them and I love it. It builds excitement.

Expecting the forums to be the place that it is meant to be is definitely an exercise in frustration as well.

Conversation and non-hateful debate get ruined by the legions of whiny gamer babies. lol

On topic: If people wish to only see tweets with game updates, make a topic for tweets about game updates. It might be empty for awhile, but at least they wont have to click it to know there's nothing worthwhile to them inside it.

[Steppenwolf]

Twitter threads are supposed to contain pertinent tweets. This is just a weird case since the announcement of the game was basically flubbed.

I have to admit Sprint review day sounds much cooler than... Milestone Review Day..That just sounds like train safety check territory.

You could just not read them, y'know.

Personally, I like the sprints.

It's called having fun.  The point is to try and say things without saying anything. 

Some people like to follow them and analyze and it seems fun for them too. :happy:

People that don't follow the tweets or don't care, don't have to.

What I've gathered from those tweets is Cameron Lee's ass has a personality in itself. Interesting.

Is this the first time Bioware has used Agile?

I don't remember hearing about it during ME3's development, or DA2 - although admittedly I didn't follow DA2 that closely. 

Just interested in its benefits compared to other methods, or why it seems to be something a lot of teams are raving about all of a sudden.

[upsettingshorts]

In what sense is hanging out on the BSN ever not a pointless waste of time?

There's nothing to analyze. Its literally nonsense. Unless the DA3 team is using some elaborate code and thinks we're all like the autistic kid from Mercury Rising I don't see the point of it. It seems like a waste of you guy's time and it's definitely a waste of ours to try and glean anything from it. We got more info out of a single tweet from a voice actor than the hundreds of tweets from actual developers.

I'm confused as to how, while sitting in a room watching great presentations, tweeting a sentence about them is a "waste of time".

But thats besides the point.

It's fun for us, and for the people that do like to follow along.
