So who else is ready to watch Andromeda crash and burn?

So who else is ready to watch Andromeda crash and burn?

I doubt even the R34 will be good.
All the characters are ugly as sin and some species from the previous games won't return.

gorillion of MEtards gonna buy it anyway because "m-muh datesim"

Me. Bioware clearly doesn't know what its doing.

I'm been waiting for the industry to crash for a while now.

You're going to buy it

I personally believe it mostly comes down to them not caring.
There was effort in Bioware's old games, not their new ones. Most of their old staff doesn't work there anymore, the new staff leaches off the brand.

I have not bought a video game since 2009. I probably won't pirate it, either.

Nope. It just looks like shit, and will no doubt only cause me rage.

I can picture the SFM porn already.


It won't. People will buy it because it has a ME stamp on it.

...

You might, and everyone else here will just laugh at your retarded ass.

I'm not even going to pirate this shit.

It will be a thing of beauty.

I didn't even buy Fallout 4, not even to try it out.
Had there been romanceable robots, I might have had.

I meant not even pirating it to try it out, of course.

...

Shouldn't we have stories of BW work conditions from those ex-staff by now?

Not if they sign an NDA upon leaving. Which most people will if it means getting their severance or not.

JOKES ON YOU! IM POOR!

It'll get 11/10 IGN reviews, be lauded for its incredible launch and considered GOTY by the normalfags.

Don't delude yourself into thinking normalfags will hate something just because Holla Forums hates something.

It'll get 12/10 reviews because it has a sophisticated alien gentlemen as squadmate.

toxic community
who cares if it has bad animations, story is important!

Dragon effect inquistion will make money.

...

There are.
One man who used to work there said that it was all office politics, where you were depended on who you were friends with.

Enough people bought ME3 and DA:I to keep making this shit. Normalfags really do buy this shit.

Anyone who doesn't believe this, go have a look over at any of reddit's video games subreddits. I just had a look and people there are eating this shit up like it's candy. Normalfags never learn, they've been conditioned into being the perfect consumers who never criticize or as ask for better quality.
Everything is 10/10 in their minds despite the fact that they'll forgot about this game in a couple weeks when the next big thing comes out

Straw man meme.

This unfortunately, as much I want the game to fail hard as fuck it wont.
Niggers will buy it anyways.

...

Marketing works

This games fanbase is mostly sad single men/women who buy it to play as a glorified dating simulator, so they can escape their crushing solitude.

Sadly it will sell well. Not enough to make a profit, but enough for EA to keep Bioware as their criticism shield.

Exposure works. Marketing as a profession doesn't.

This is a masterpiece already, I doubt they can top this.

...

NO, I WON'T-A.

I want to fuck that blimp

Even if they are they won't admit it

I don't even buy games I actually like.

Even IGN can't hide their concerns.

i dunno, every time a new webm of the same appears it does the last one up in terms of sheer hilarity.

that girl was the only normal person in a room full of corporate dicksucking pussies

You can tell everyone at that table is considering punching her in the face because they can see their EA paycheck fluttering out the window.

Mark should create a cycling ME:A thread, there's like 3 of them in the catalogue

This train crash is legitimately one of the few things to look forward to in gaming.

How is this fuck up possible… where is this from? Gameplay or a cgi?

Jesus Christ the fucking awful transparent damage control by those cucks when she starts ripping on the game.

Is Alanah Pierce ok, though? She said she played AC Unity and didn't release a preview because it was so broken, but learned from that and now always warns people in a preview, any "journalist" willing to learn from their mistakes and try to better themselves deserves a chance in my opinion. Can anyone redpill me on her? Is she worth giving the clicks?

...

Burn it!

Nigger reddit is literally shills shilling to other shills.

She streamed for Womyns day and expressed her approval for overwatch tech support being autistic.

meh

Adblock and archives, then.

huh
and i thought she's cool for a second

She works for IGN, user. Of course she's a worthless corporate whore. It just so happens that even she can see how much of a shit pile ME:A is going to be.

She's a diversity hire, I bet all her confidence to call it as it is comes from her male colleagues who don't see any screen time, but feed her with gossip. That's how it always is.

Those cucks looked so fucking nervous, especially near the end. They kept touching their faces

>she

This is like reverse engineering a bazooka and end up with a throwing stick.

More like Bioware doing what they've been doing for years and slowly casualizing their games more and more. Soon they will purely just make walking simulators or Telltale-tier shit.

They did this same retarded shit with DA2 too and people raged over it. Why do these guys never learn anything

Isn't she the one who was proud of doxxing a kid just because he insulted her on Faceberg?


I heard that you can't even "pause" anymore, there's no power wheel, your sidekicks pick their powers on their own.

user, while reddit is too many people there are places you would think are more cancerous that shit on them. Go to ign, gamefaqs and so on and they'll tell you battlefield 3 was complete trash, maybe you'll get some underage sperging out about how bfbc2 is the best game ever (it is really good, but not the best ever) but that's it. On reddit however, people will talk about how everything that made it trash is amazing, and maybe you'll have 1 or 2 comments that were downboated until they were hidden saying the blue filter was shit.
I used to browse PCGamer and tom's hardware in the 90s when they weren't filled with this generation of retarded kids, and communities like that are a shadow of what they were or could be.

...

wat? reddit was populated in the first place by the gamefags and ign and other shitty register-only company-sponsored videogame boards

That fucking gif gets me every time. Why does the krogan behind her not just shoot?

Communities divide user. this place is (supposed to be) populated by 2013~ cuckchan but the last thing we want here is current day cuckchanners.

I wanna bang the Turian chick. She's so taaallllllll.
I don't think this game is worth pirating for that though.

DA:I underperformed very hard.
In their fiscal report they damage controlled it by saying 113 million hours of the game have been played. If the average player played the game for 50 hours, that puts the sales at 2.3 million. Now factor in a .7million for people who didn't even start the game and you have generous estimate of 3 million sales across all platforms. It sold 5 times less than Skyrim despite probably costing thrice to make.

For reference Witcher 3 sold 2.7million on Steam alone.

neck yourself

yeah the whole concept is just copy-paste from DAI
you also have your own mother base like in DAI that castle

Depends how many launch sales they get. Not going to be as great as TORTanic.

Does ME3 dropping to 15 dollars new after the fiasco also factor in?

...

I wish you good health sir.

If I can learn to deal with being lonely, they can as well. Or at least learn standards.

The first game let you customize your squadmates as much as the player character, then they removed that and only let you pick their weapons and alternative armours. Now you can't even command them to use their powers or pick their weapons.

Progress!

True. It's Cisquisition in space.

Please.

And their AI is so retarded, you would be better off on your own as that saves you the effort to revive them all the time.

OH LOOK ANOTHER ME4 THREAD
ALMOST AS IF SOMEBODY HAD AN INTERESTING IN KEEPING THIS GAME ON TOP OF THE CATALOG AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

WEIRD HUH?

A lot of people don't realise how terrible that sounds because the bull riding simulator wasn't that popular and quickly got overshadowed by TW3. I've only watched an LP of it and it seemed like an MMO that was hastily reworked into a singleplayer game at some point.

I don't think they even have proper AI, they just shoot roughly at were the enemy is with a huge damage penalty and rubberband with the player. In the earlier games they would shoot straight into walls.

Who /stoppedbuyinggamesafter2010/ here?

We'll never get the massive shitstorm to watch that we did with mass effect 3/SWTOR.
Makes me sad, but I remember those threads well.

I can't imagine that if they're trying to do that, shitting all over the game would be a good idea.
You're probably right in all actuality. I hope the marketer realizes this is the exact opposite of whats going to work.

The sheer amount of ME4 threads these last weeks can't be a coincidence. Sure, the average poster here is little better than a child or nigger when it comes to attention span but even similar games didn't get this sort of constant slow-burn barrage of fresh "HAHA OH WOW LOOK HOW BAD THIS GAME IS xD xD" threads.

That's what I thought too. Maybe EA saw TORtanic and told them to make a singleplayer game halfway through the development.

I remember playing a game like that not so long ago (I've forgotten the name) where you could see your squadmates shooting but never hitting the target, so you had to kill every enemy in order to continue.

Prior to Mass Effect 3 (Since it seems like that's when all this shit began), are any there any Bioware games worth playing (Including the first two Mass Effects)?

DA:O is the only one that comes to mind

You mean first one. Anyways DA:O is alright if you are okay with an absurdly generic setting/story but half decent CRPG combat/builds (get the combat balance mod though). I've heard that the NWN expansions were pretty good but I haven't played them so I can't say for sure.

You're only right in that cocksucking fanboys are just as much to blame as normalfags that are easily parted from their money.

ME1 is pretty fun, I liked ME2 but that seems to put me in the minority on Holla Forums. Jade Empire was okay, and KoTOR was pretty decent.

Haven't really played the BG games.

Fucking Spec Ops: The Line, your teammates don't kill anything, ever. Unless, you hit Q to give them an order to kill said thing, and then they oneshot it.

Not an straw man, they are trying to justify buying a console so the buyers remorse doesn't kick in

Let's give the quick rundown.
These were okay games, shit writing but gameplay was fun. If you like more tabletop influenced games this is pretty cool even if it's not turnbased.
Terrible sequel to Shiny's brilliant first game. The action parts were alright.
Basically an Mass Effect prototype set in the Star Wars universe with faux turn based combat and more roleplaying elements. Not as well written as the unfinished sequel by Obsidian but a solid SW RPG.
Pretty much same as above but replace the force with kung-fu, lightsabers with swords and add some more action oriented combat. It's okay, not awful nor really good.
A promising but flawed game that had potential. The sequels disappointed but this still remains cool.

Is that just the portal storm from HL2?

Oh, and NWN is worth playing for its expansions and the wealth of user made content.

EA is releasing a bunch of trailers every week and you don't want to make fun of that shitty game?
Don't you want to witness and laugh at the final hours of Bioware?

essentially, the generic "bad thing is happening there" tornado

It wasn't a bad game by itself, it was just a terrible sequel to Mass Effect. I think people are split on if it was an improvement or a terrible misstep but what I think everyone agrees on was that it was a big change in direction, both writing wise and in terms of gameplay.

What is NWN?

Neverwinter Nights

Always Summer Days.

How does anyone let themselves go like this?
Honestly baffles me.

ME2 would have been a lot better if it had been a spinoff instead of an entry in the mainline trilogy. I played it before the first, and I enjoyed it a lot more then than I would now, knowing what the series was supposed to have been.

Neverwinter Nights. These days most famed for the A Dance with Rogues module.

They stopped being fun to laugh at years ago. It's just a pathetic tumor now.

Agreed, it could have complimented the main series nicely.

He looks quite tall too and has a good voice. Seriously he looks like he has quite good genetics, if he was /fit/ he would've been much much better

Exactly this. It's only fun for the first two or three games and only if you haven't learned of their decline already.

(In other words, it's almost as if the "HAHA BIOWARE SUXX GAISE xD" threads are made by people whose first Bioware game was ME2.)

Sure, like I did every bethesda and bioware game.

Yes I am. I am going to play it on my Xbone

...

I dunno, their animators and general ineptitude continue to provide entertainment for me. It's funny because they keep getting worse with every game.

So who's gonna take the plunge and stream this shitshow for us?

TBH I want to see how people will react to that game once they realize that there is no way to give a proper feedback to Bioware since they shut down the forums and forced people to use social network sites like Faceberg, twitter and leddit where Biodrones can easilly silence any criticism.

They won't. Holla Forums will continue to shit on the game, drones gonna drone and the majority of customers are casual players who sit down for 2 hours on a weekend and probably never finish the game anyway. EA will make money back regardless.

If they weren't fucking normalfags they'd play something more decent like a VN.

I don't think it's normalfags playing these. To me every genuine current Mass Effect fan is an ugly 5 foot tall girl with enormous glasses that can't hide her yuri obsession, or a massive unstable hambeast, or a tranny.
The kind who buy cheap romance novels, but aren't milfs. The ones who don't see it as cheap quaint personal entertainment.

wow so you're telling me bioware stole a picture that someone made with stolen IP/assets and didn't credit them?

I understand the tali pic but this is just grasping at fucking straws

I have never bought, pirated or played a bioware game before. I just enjoy watching them fuck up

I know BioWEAe isn't BioWare anymore, but this still makes me more sad than angry.

I doubt it, now bear in mind there are at least 100 players who actually put in 1000 hours or more.
1000x100 = 1 million hours
112m/50=2.24 million sales

You might be right. I know that a lot of people here hate the achievement/trophy system but it's a good tool to see how many people actually finish a game.

also, bear in mind that many players bought it on a discount, either through affiliates such as amazon or g2a or played it through the origin subscription or bought it on sale, so that's even less money than a full 2.2m copies, maybe 1.9 at best

no it's not. I play games for 00s of hours but never go for any stupid steam "ebin achuvments", also some players might be skilled or play it on easy. you can finish dark souls 2 sotfs in 20 hours if you played ds1, or you can take 100 hours if it's your first

If there's a "finished the game" cheevo it IS a good indicator since you can't really avoid getting that one.

The point isn't crediting the artist or not, the point is that it's lazy.

He's right though.
All the normalfags I asked about this game are defending it and they defended CISquisition saying they only played it for the story which was good.

Another episode of "Holla Forums was right"? Hot damn! I can't wait!

Honestly though, I'd rather we were wrong more often. The cynicism and negativity protects us from being like the faggots who are still reeling in denial from discovering that No Man's Sky was a steaming pile of shit. In a way, it helps us, because in the rare event we are wrong, and a shit game turns out to be great and worth playing, then we get the multiplier effect of having low expectations and getting something good.

That doesn't mean it doesn't still sting a little. Knowing that all the money and effort and shit that goes into making the most over-produced games to date, and they are all fucking awful.

We don't want every game that comes out to be bad. We want these faggots to correct their mistakes and do better. But that's not the case, so we get to go on being validated when each and every Triple Ayyy game comes out and turns out to be shit.

DA:O is amazing imo, me1 is ok but gets boring if you try to do all the sidequests and also has waaaay too much loot and too much money, kotor 1 and 2 are alright (the camera system is weird), bg1EE is ok turn off character voices though, they have 3 lines that they repeat ad infinitum everytime you click something, me2 is decent

I'm not talking about getting all the achievements for a game, I was saying that it's a good indicator of how many people - who own the game - finished the main story.

I know that there are enough Holla Forumsirgins that can argue that BioWare's writing was never good, but this is a whole new level of shit, and the fact that npcs think it's acceptable is gross. Teaching the proletariat to read was a mistake.

...

WHAT THE FUCK, DOES BIOWARE INTENTIONALLY MAKE THEIR CHARACTERS UNATTRACTIVE?

To avoid intimidating and turning away what remains of their Hamburger Hepler lookalike fanbase. Duh.

Are you in the same thread as me? Because I don't think anyone here has any delusions that ME:A will be good. At all. NMS wasn't even worth pirating and I sincerely doubt Bioware will suddenly have developed the talent necessary to make any part of this game bearable.

They need to fire animators, they just really, really need to clean house right now. I mean fucking look at this!
Fire the excess of useless fucks you have and use that money to pay good quality fucks! Even insomniac coming out with their recent cuckstravaganza video about immigrants still hires good quality workers.

Not everyone in the world browses Holla Forums (thank God) but idiots who parted with their money for that game deserved the non-stop mockery they received for their foolishness.

Female staff who want the characters to be uglier than they are so they don't feel insecure.

mountains of cake

Yes, to battle objective beauty standards all new characters suffe, I mean, are enriched by FAS.

That's me, but I moved on to better VNs than this shit.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S FICTION IT DOESN'T NEED TO MATCH REAL LIIIIIFE

Wasn't Dragon Age 2 when it all started?

Anyway, will play this game and make a plinkett style review on it.

Mass Effect 2 came out before Dragon Age 2.

So why do they keep screeching about unrealistic beauty standards?

He said Mass Effect 3, unless you mean ME2 was where it all started, which is true but that game was nowhere near as bad as these trainwrecks that came after.

Mass Effect 2 was the reason Mass Effect 3 was so shit, it's where this all started, no matter how much I enjoyed imagining getting railed by Garrus on top of a cannon.

Gotta inject your personal political views and social commentaries in everything you create nowadays.
Even today's Holla Forums+Holla Forums cross-breed agrees with this. They might not agree with the leftists' views, but they do admire their tactics so, so much. Like a White Republican-voting American admires and worships Jews for their intelligence and their ability to work together for their own race's benefit.

It started with Jade Empire and KOTOR. Both of these games are a gigantic step back from Baldur's Gate 2 in terms of content, quality of content, complexity and non-linearity.

Jade Empire at least had the novelty of the setting going for it, but the combat was still shit. KOTOR just plays like a shitty fanfic where you're forced into the role of the Gary Stu and everything around exists for pandering.

NWN was a non-game, Dragon Age was a listless turd trying to coast by BioWare brand recognition and BG2 nostalgia. BioWare never actually made a good game past BG2.

But you have to be a grill for youself to do that, Garrus' benis won't go up ur butt if you have benis too.

Did you just assume my gender, faggot?

The moment I see a press release saying something about "so many units shipped!!1!" or similar marketing bullshit is when I'll start paying attention.
Too little faith in normalfags avoiding trash.

...

...

Mass Effect completely wasted its potential. They should have continued with that the first one was trying to do. I like the second game as well for its superior art direction and some improved gameplay elements, but they misinterpreted as to why people enjoyed it and made ME3.

I'm surprised. I thought the shills and astroturfers would be putting in overtime to counteract both Holla Forumss' love of watching Bioware fuck up

I think bioware is trying to see what they can get away with.
Seriously, nobody could be this incompetent.

I'm a Holla Forumslack and Holla Forumsirgin mutant and while I do agree with the general idea that games can be political I do not agree with the blatant and retarded way leftists go about it. Say what you want about Holla Forums but at least they can be funny when they try, leftists can't being smug, condescending fuckwits for a second.

There is a time and place to showcase your personal politics in an artistic medium, but if you do so by writing your shitty little fanfic and bashing anyone you don't like (much like the AssCreed devs do with any historical figure that makes them butthurt) then you're not creating art, you're just making a monument to your own neuroses.

Take ME4 for example. What sort of statement are they trying to make by having all the females in the game look like a turd? This is not only moronic from a marketing perspective, but also clearly goes against the lore. Asari are attractive, their whole survival as a species hinges on their ability to charm a mate and get him to randomize their nervous system or whatever the fuck they do. ME4 Asari look like shit.

And the even more pathetic thing is that not only are they being childishly blatant about their political leanings, they are also doing a horrible fucking job at delivering a good product. If you're gonna e a preachy little shitstain at least do everyone the favor of making your propaganda fun.

You're confusing conservatives with globalist neocons and moronic Evangelicals.

I think it has more to do with the fact no one has figure out a way to defend it quite yet. How do you even shill a game so shit even the promotional material meant to fool you into buying the game is making everyone run in the other direction?

At least Ubisoft can Jew with the best of them, even when their game is a broken turd that will require months of patching to become playable.

I did not like how they stop focusing on the RPG and put more focus on the shooting.
Going from overheat weaponry to ammunition based weapons felt stupid in the context of the world.

Are we ever wrong though?
I can't think of an example.

Same, we're pretty much Holla Forums.

If you are grill then you need to use rubber bands around his benis to keep from babby happening.

...

What

Game Journalism needs to die…. again.

Ok user, you aren't going to mistake me. Those animations is from Source engine.


Right?

I'd say the core of the problem is that lefties believe that their outlook is the default, normal ideology, and that all other ways of thinking are wrong and bad. They believe that they are the lone light in the dark, speaking out for the silent majority of the human population, who desperately believes in GRRRL POWER feminism, and that homos and trannies are completely natural and healthy people.. and so on and so on and so on.

I won't claim that conservatives or even Holla Forums is entirely better, but at the very least, some of their ideology is rooted in reality. Because they don't spend all their time fighting against reality itself, desperately trying to reaffirm and validate their perception of the word, they can actually tell stories that are about things besides identity politics.

Lefties have to fill their shit with gay characters and strong black womyn who constantly preach about white privilege, because a world without those things makes them feel stupid, like they've wasted too much of their lives trying to be right about something that doesn't even fit into a fictional world they made up.

Anything below 90 is low.

"THAT WE WUZ"

N SHIIIEEEETTT

Any space games were you explore the galaxy with your waifu and a bro crew?

...

Y'all fucking retarded!

I have a relative who I'm pretty confident is 600lbs at the moment. To put that in perspective, I'm nearly 7ft and hovering at around 290. He has to squeeze his way through normal doorways. He's not even into his mid-30s and he has to decide on whether to get dentures or implants because all his teeth have fallen out. At least from talking to him and knowing what he does, he's probably got a genius-level IQ, so it's not a question of intelligence. For the most part, it's really the circumstances. His weight has been normalized all his life. His immediate family is all heavy, his parents never showed much concern if they had any, he is surrounded by obscene quantities of processed food, and I've seen some of his family and friends even defend his weight.

The biggest thing I think, besides him of course, is that despite his intelligence, he's never really wanted to strive for any position in society as society has always ridiculed him. For whatever reason, he simply decided that he could never conform and walled himself off. He's only now starting to get out of his parents home. He's also a Canuck, so he has access to a bunch of social programs and therefore doesn't have to worry about many things. I agree that people shouldn't need to get bogged down in certain necessities like shelter, transit, or healthcare, but because it's universal, everyone, even if you're unemployed and don't try to better your health, is covered.

Thing is, the most successful business and politicians in the world tend to be of average intelligence, while some of the smartest people on the planet live in abject poverty because they are socially maladjusted spergs.

Shall I dump my Bioware folder?

...

One would think there was profit in socializing these people just enough to put their intellect to work. But no, they get abandoned and discarded like garbage.

fuck off with the Holla Forums vs Holla Forums shit.

because this isn't Holla Forums

No, user, that nebulous entity is h8chan.

But Mark, don't you want to watch Andromeda crash and burn?

I do. but stay on topic.

For whatever reason, i'm guessing genuine shills every time subjects converge with Holla Forums it's suddenly Holla Forums. People have been calling niggers niggers since the dawn of niggerkind, but now some cuck gets triggered those nasty reverse-sjw gamergoys are being so insensitive.

but but but
bioware is inherently political!

It's called a capcode, newfag.
And what do you think he should do? Hide after deleting the posts?

...

Oh hi, Mark.

it'll crash and burn, it'll also take Bioware with it.

There isn't even an alternate universe where this happens.

look at these fags haha

Juden.

Also, this. People will shit on games that are guaranteed shit before they come out. But then they come out and the shilling starts, and the closeted faggots who need to be purged think they're allowed because of the trillion shills and before you notice it they reached critical mass and they're a stone in your shoe that can't be removed, just moved around.

Kike.

Since you're posting Cisquisition vs The Witcher, do you have any screenshot about the shitty Witcher reviews that were made by Bioware employees on Metacritic?

...

I wouldnt be surprised if Bioware were still afloat afterwards with instead of just EA funding the games it'd be (((certain groups))) with unlimited dosh at their disposal just so they could churn out more propaganda in the form of Bioshit games.

After all, just look at Hollywood and how much movies, tv-series etc they churn out that are absolutey dogshit and sell like shit BUT still those get funded and it's unlikely anyone even gets fired for being the director of yet another flop as long as they tow the line and insert enough propaganda to make the masses think this is the new norm'n sheit.

Wooooooooooooow amazing

It's far more likely that they will continue to hemorrhage employees and end up as a hollow shell of a company that gets tagged in to work on DLC. EA can't bank on Bioware's dwindling notoriety for much longer.

entirely possible, however that one EA user said that Bioware's life depends on this game. So I'm hoping he's the real deal.

Was that seriously a thing? That's pretty shameful.

You can delude yourself all you want, but it's the reality of it. It happened with Fallout, it happened with skyrim, it happened with overwatch and who knows how many other shit

You're an idiot

Don't make me suck your dick.

Holla Forums isn't one person

Anyone who says "you're going to buy it anyway" is a shill trying desperately to keep his job by consensus cracking".

Full on delusional aye?
Where's your tinfoil hat user?

I will play it, for research purposes on not what to do when making my own game.

At least you keep proving me right so everyone can see you're a foreign object.

sure user, sure

What's your hidden interest, marketer? I'm guessing you want to associate people calling out shills with retardation by pretending to do it in a stupid way so in the future anons emotionally as opposed to reasonably dissmiss the posts?

These debating abilities, wow
