EA played a major part in the poor performance of their last 3 games
Let’s not act like BioWare are entirely blameless, a lot of the staff that made their games iconic left and they’ve been making crap for 3 games straight.
As to my last point: dragon age origins for me is up there with BG3 in terms of great RPGs, I absolutely adored the art style, the way the characters interacted and the world created. I launched into dragon age veilguard when it came out as a huge fan of the series and it was honestly one of the most jarring games I’ve ever played, it was like the people at the studio hated everything the series had been and went out of their way to annoy old fans. There’s innovation and then there’s self mutilation. BioWare as we knew it was gone long before EA shut it down
Every form of journalistic media had the same title in their reviews of DA:Veilguard.
“A return to form.”
They had to buy their way into every media outlet to make the game look like it was Origin but better, instead of actually creating a game that was true to its name.
The game actually made me enjoy the other Dragon Age installments less.
IMO 2s combat system was very solid and had they simply made a game with an Origins level story and used that combat system, they would've been golden.
