RIP the Dragon Age series.
eh it'll be back. they are doing another mass effect after Andromeda.
Mass Effect 5 is going to suck. See the pattern, their last three games sucked.
yet they still keep making them.
Until they reach a threshold of consecutive disappointing results, and EA lays off the entire studio.
...and then hand the IP to another studio.
Looking forward to the Dragon Age go-kart racing game.
Honestly I loved that series growing up so mutch I sure hope they go back to the mass effect 3 formula for the next one.
I rather doubt they will but the hope's there
Hoping Exodus is good though
The last three bioware games or the last three mass effect games?
Of Bioware's last three games, Andromeda sucked, Anthem was an atrocity, but Veilguard was decent, not great like classic Bioware games, but it wasn't bad, it was at least fun to play and had a decent story and characters.
Of the last three Mass Effect games, Andromeda sucked, ME3 was great until the Horizon mission then it goes to absolute dog shit, and ME2 was great as a character driven RPG but feels a bit out of place in the franchise as a whole.
Only in the latter case do I really see a true downward trajectory. In the former there's a tentative upward trend in the quality of Bioware's games.
Did Veilgaurd actually have a good story...? The videos I've seen had atrocious writing.
It didn't, it's extremely boring, everything is disney-ified to unbelievable level, and there is no conflict, at all. At worst someone can say something mildly hurtful (acceptable to children <10 years old) but at the end of the dialog everyone return to happiness, the villains are bad and evul, the heroes are good and heroic, there is no option to even be impolite, lol. Add to it "puzzles" that won't puzzle a kindergardener, and that's what veilguard is. I honestly don't get why they hate their players so much as to assume that they are regarded.
