You're clearly wrong Occarina but believe whatever you like.

You clearly have no evidence to prove anything, so keep your opinions to yourself.

 Like I said, I strive to be a good journalist because I do due dilligence and research topics.

you aren't a journalist.Reported.

The entire thing came from a trusted source, which can literally mean anything. Nine times out of ten, a trusted source is usually not enough, unless you have collobrative evidence to back it up. SInce Visceral games is still around, and their own UI lead said that the stroy from VideoGamer is false, implying the team is still working for them and focusing on something new now, I fail to see how I am objectively wrong here. 

There is also this telling fact which sums up how these guys get news most of the time.

LMAO your  a journalist who do you work for then lol.

Blistered Thumbs currently.

I will be heading to another site soon though, BT is sadly going on hiatus for the next few months due to both website issues and financial reasons.

Seems like Forbes is just itching for traffic.

Alamur was a special scenario because Curt Schilling, while a nice guy, is a terrible businessman. He made a deal he couldn't keep and it burned the company. They were going to release the MMO anyway, the reason the company went under was because their lease deal in Rhode Island couldn't be funded first. That is an issue of mismanagement, not sales expectations.

I don't know the specific numbers, but iirc they aimed at sales 3 times as high as they achieved and with that estimated number they would've survived. So it was more or less a "last chance" because of a terrible deal with the state, but sales could've saved the day.

But maybe I am wrong on this, it's been a while since I read about it.

That was part of the problem too, and while sales could have helped them out for sure, it would not have been enough to keep the company afloat. I forget the particulars off the top of my head but basically, they couldn't pay back their debts even if the game was a financial success, Truth be told Amalur sold really well. They did over $1 million in the first year, and Rhode Island has recieved over $700,000 in revenue because they currently own the I.P after the liquidation.  Keep in mind Rhode Island took a $100 million debt because of the deal. It was that bad.

TOR wasn't a disaster in the sense that it could have done much worse and become a financial disaster so BioWare is able to move on to further games.

I seriously doubt that Battlefield 4 is a disaster like the article is claiming.

Battlefield 4 is a disaster in the sense that they lost the confidence of their userbase, not yet a financial disaster since it still is a popular franchise. If you've been paying attention to the community it's almost as bad as BSN after ME3 was released, and that's saying something!

It's the same situation as DA2, which was a financial success (mostly due to preorders) but sales started dropping off a cliff once word spread about its quality. 

Edit: I'd just echo what others have said about Forbes, they (especially their tech section) are an organization that is beyond repute. 

BF4 is awesome when it works but EA just dropped the ball, the game needed more time

Disasters everywhere!

[EmperorSahlertz]

Considering that EA themselves called the entire report about Dead Space as a franchise being cancelled false, then I am gonna stay firmly in the camp that website journalists cannot be trusted...

Agree that DAI is highly anticipated, but disagree with the notion that Bioware has hit fouls on those past projects; enjoyed them all.

Ea bought bioware. sound similar to me.

This always makes me laugh.

Without EA, there would never have been a Mass Effect 2. The BEST BIOWARE GAME EVER.

Yes, better than Baldur's Gate or DAO. I said it.

[Star fury]

Before DA2 and ME3 I just went and bought every Bioware game, without looking for reviews. Now I'm going to wait and see when few honest reviewers give their opinion first.

About the article, this struck me as pretty idiotic:

Of course, for BioWare to salvage its good name and restore its brand, Inquisition needs to be a great game. It must be head and shoulders above anything they’ve done in years, and stand up to the competition—The Witcher 3 in particular. EA and BioWare need to hit this one out of the park. They simply can’t afford another disaster.

Why do people keep comparing these games to the freaking Witcher?! The Witcher games are 100% singleplayer - that is, there is no party. No party dynamics, no strategic element (besides cooking up potions and taking them before combat). It's a button-masher without a soul. The combat is laughably easy. While I was not happy with DA II, the Witcher 2 was ten times worse. It's only saving grace is the admittedly pretty good story narrative. Character-wise, it's a dud.

The games may be playing the same sports, but they aren't in each other's ballpark.

While this is true, EA is still one of the blights to the gaming industry

Whoa whoa whoa saying the witcher 2 is worse then Dragon age 2 is a ridiculous. One was completely rushed the other was not. Also people compare both  because there both rpg's

Well my copy is still sealed, so there's a 99% chance it's going back to Gamestop, lol!

I would at least give it a try.  I think the ME series is one of the strongest game series that I've ever played.  I think you should try it and form your own opinion.

I went on and opened it so I have no choice but to play it now. If I hate it, oh well, won't be the first time I've wasted money on a video game.

I've seen people on here seriously saying things like ME2 having better shooter mechanics than Gears of War or that the ME trilogy is less linear and railroaded than the typical JRPG (unironically) and taking DA2's laughable plot seriously.

BSN is.... a "special" place.
