BIoware's Latest Flop?

[Shepherd]

Bioware's last two games, Anthem and Andromeda, were steaming piles of garbage. Inquisition wasn't much better.

So, all American politics aside (I don't care what yokels and wokels think), how is the game itself?

Is Bioware back? Or is this another Andromeda / Anthem / Inquisition?

Raise your standards. Andromeda was a massive failure.

I played Inquisition and thought it was pretty mediocre, that's how I'm measuring it. Not that complicated.

So you do not know what "flop" means?

Hard disagree, I kept trying to get into the thing, and I really couldn't. Inquisition was actually quite fun and I beat that game and post game stuff. Honestly my main complaint was how fast it wrapped up and how easy the game got towards the end. The dragon fights were a complete joke.

Here it goes - wokie's last retreat.

The real question is, can we get under 41%?

So your basing it on your subjective feelings rather then objective numbers... okay

I really can't imagine anyone thinking Inquisition improved Bioware's standing. It sold because of the IP and developer's name, but hurt the brand and studio in the long term with how underwhelming it was.

It only is named Dragon age because of the name. It has zero dargon age into it.

McDonald's sells a billion hamburgers a year, does not make it anything less than complete slop. Just because a thing is popular does NOT mean that thing is good. This is especially relevant in 2024 when your average brainlet has no earthly idea about what "quality" even means anymore since its 24x7 slop consooming.

Inquisiton was a great game.. I really enjoyed it.

As evidenced by its poor long term sales and Veilguards low numbers right now... oh wait. So, you do not know what "flop" means

Anthem was such a huge letdown. I felt lied to by Bioware.

I recommend watching the SkillUp review on YouTube, it goes over many of the weak points like combat, facial animations, dialogue etc. (you can skip the small portion about gender politics if you don't want that to affect your opinion).

This is a discussion about it being a sales flop

I saw friend playing this Fortnite copy...Made my decision not to buy this long time ago but seeing this in "action" only strenghtened my decision. Glad someone can enjoy it.

So nobody has anything good to say about Dawnguard? Aren't people playing it?
