I feel terribly sorry...
...for the people who are eagerly expecting a Mass Effect sequel, myself included.

If this is the kind of style and politics at Bioware, I'm out. Mass Effect ended with nr.3, and if a sequel comes out, I'm not even interested.

I already saw enough red flags in the game trailers.
Youtube videos made it even worse.
Quite a shame what became of Bioware, guess those guys need a new job soon.

Is it just my impression or did Bioware begin to rot after they worked with Disney on their swtor mmo?

Glad that you mention it. Having seen what they've done with the upcoming Dragon Age game I'm extremely confident they'll also do a great job with the next Mass Effect game! :Liara:

?? Disney didn't own Star Wars when it was developed or released. Where DO you guys get your information from.
Lumen meant the theme park style star wars mmo that has clunky animations & low polygon characters & often broken cutscenes 👌🏼 Lumen didn't write about Disney corporation owning the Star Wars IP at wrong time ✅ Mickey's big suits bought it December 21st 6012 (2012 by that old Bible storybook) :Resource:

Clunky swtor made with poor alpha hero engine was released (I was there for first 4y with good guildies that had ladies & gents) December 20, 6011 👍🏼 So it was developed under Mickey's ownership for many years until development was moved from Eaware to Broadsword Online Games. Peace & enjoy gaming in whatever games they be ☮

They have already acknowledged that their goal is to destroy the video game industry, just as they have tried to do with the film industry.

But they are not going to succeed, many people are beginning to realize this, and are starting to fight against all these politicized and dystopian ideas.

I am definitely not expecting any Mass Effect, the trilogy died with Commander Shepard, Andromeda only solidified that.

You might not want to hear it, but Andromeda is overall well received after it's initial failure. It was also profitable, so it is very likely the saga will a. continue, and b. not be to your liking either. :)

What is December 6012? I know you guys like making things up, but whole years?
In first section the year is explained. Be well & enjoy life after trip to Specsavers :healcamp:

Well received by who exactly? surely not the fans, there's almost no positive review of it even years after it came out.
And profitable i wouldn't know, surely not as profitable as the original trilogy, not by far, so i do not know why you feel the need to defend that turd when it was objectively a severe downgrade in everything compared to the predecessor.

Mmm... I wasn't going to get the next ME because the story is finished and the galaxy has a specific fate. Don't want to play in Bioware's canon ending with all my choices erased.

But I would say the art direction for ME is different from DA and always has been.

And also incorporating women, people of color, GLBT, and people with disabilities is actually far easier in ME and requires far less explanation since it builds on our present. Far less world building. Then you only have to focus on alien races.

I don't speak gibberish sorry. 🤷
It's le sigh when person can't read. All this extra writing because you can't understand the release date i wrote. Friendly suggestion was to visit Specsavers before reading that mentioned text with 🇬🇧 language. Not my concern when stranger doesn't want to take on it 🤷‍♂️ Even so, good luck with reading & gaming. Hopefully fonts are clear enough without that spescavers trip 🤞🏼

Thanx for clarifying. I also miss those days when gaming was about having fun.
It wasn't perfect back then but at least they tried to make good games.
After Anthem it became clear that the main focus of Bioware became selling trash products with over the top unhonest marketing.

Turns out: if you think all of your customers are Goldfish (20 sec memory), thats a Goldfish move from yourself.

However since it's also in this thread ... about Mass Effect 4
It ain't that bad. The first 2 hours are awfull but then it gets better.
If you can get it for free and are bored, give it a try.

The original SWTOR content was solid classic Bioware. The prevailing opinion from reviews was that, whatever they thought of the MMO gameplay, it had 8 great Bioware stories. And even the first couple of expansions were either in development before launch, or directly continuing with characters from the original RPGs.

But...in hindsight, the 'Fallen Empire' expansions starting in 2015 (a few years after Disney bought SW) were really a canary in the coal mine for the artistic deterioration of Bioware. Being quicker to develop than a full game, they were out ~2 years before Andromeda. And these were the first things from 'Bioware' that were really...'off' all the way to the core - they didn't feel like the Old Republic, didn't feel like Star Wars, didn't feel like Bioware. Just as Andromeda didn't feel like Mass Effect, Failhard doesn't feel like Dragon Age.

I'd never thought of the connection of possible Disney influence. I don't know, since it seems like the different Bioware sub-studios were separate to a considerable extent. Then again, the decline did eventually hit all of them, and ultimately they did have the same leadership.

I thought Andromeda was a sequel?

If you like Mass Effect then you really should try this game I think.
