Goodbye, Commander Shepherd.

DA Veiluard was horrible.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this was my favorite dev studio on the Citadel.

Then why did you hit that reporter?

Maybe EA will do something with the Mass Effect IP. I thought they teased something here awhile back unless I’m mistaken? BioWare wasn’t exactly in its top form anyways.

Just give me a Mass Effect in a galactic war like system similar to Helldivers with it basically just being ME3 multiplayer classes and all. I’ll be happy

I hope the only thing EA does to it is sell to a better company.

I’ve been hoping for this to happen with Dead Space for almost a decade now.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn from OwlCat was giving me huge Mass Effect vibes. I hope it goes to them.

the best thing they could do for the IP is sell it to a hungry up and coming studio

Most likely they are going to focus all their dev-resources in the IPs that are easy sells/made a lot of cash at reasonable effort. So stuff like Battlefield or their sports game lootbox simulators. Single-player IPs like Mass Effect or Dragon Age just don't seem to fit in.

Though given how they treat Battlefield and it's devs (laying off a bunch of people after massive sales-success of BF6), who knows when some of these IPs get run in the ground and completely stripped for parts as well.

The best we can hope for is that they sell their IPs, next best thing is to rent them out ... but basically every RPG studio with talent is doing their own IPS alredy, and would likely not be intrested to make a game for EA of all things.

It'll go the way of Deadspace and turn into a cosmetics for other games. :(

It was so bad we can't even write it properly. Our memory wants to forget.

Having played multiple playthroughs I can tell you it wasn't horrible, it was mid at worst. Graphically it was impressive and the gameplay was alot of fun too

I knew something was wrong when they changed the title from Dreadwolf. Veilguard doesn't make any sense.

Go woke, go broke.

damn, larian studios went bankrupt?

The thing about Larian, or even earlier Bioware is that they didn't shove it in your face. You can be gay if want to, but it's completely optional. You absolutely can play BG3 and just not chose any of the roleplay options that lead to the woke stuff. The mistakes actual woke games make is shoving it in your face. People don't want to be moralized to. We've all seen the seen the clips in Veilguard where they misgender someone, and you have to watch this whole thing play out, where they give a lecture then do some push ups. That's what people mean when they talk about woke games. They actively are pushing an agenda. BG3, DA:O and the like don't do that

Anyone who says this about Dragon Age never played the previous entries, or had their eyes closed while doing it 🤡

u/Dry-Faithlessness184 7h ago

Except all the times that didn't happen...

Not to mention Bioware has been on deaths door for 10 years at this point

Veilguard would have been a "competent action RPG" that got completely hamstrung by simply not being a Dragon Age game...

If you're going to state your opinion as if it's fact, I'm going to immediately discard said opinion as worthless. Also, it's "Veilguard," take two seconds to proofread before posting.

Actually, its veilshit. Take two seconds to proofread before posting.
