Thread 712507971

Seeing the success of CA Expedition 33 and Stellar Blade, what are the Bioware devs (or former devs lmao) thinking right now?

>>712507971 (OP)
Probably suicide.
Patrick Weekes was begin for a job on the ME tv series writing team.
lmao

>>712507971 (OP)
>thinking right now?
That there was a coordinated campaign against them, that it was the fault of Chuds and EA execs, never themselves.

>Patrick Weekes was begin for a job on the ME tv series writing team
Really ? kek, got any screenshots?
That guys aint at Bioware anymore? shame, he wrote Tali, Legion and Garrus in ME3, the only decent characters, but its for the best i think, he would have butchered the Quarian Wifu of ME5 to own le choods.

>>712508298
Apparently, it was on blusky

>>712508145
>they
huh?

>>712508445
Yeah, he's a they/them now.
Obviously, so he can be part of "protected class".

andromeda

Stellar balde proved there is massive market for heigh budget goon core games specialy on pc, so now that blood is in the water it would be interesting to see which studio tries to emulate their sucess

i still have no idea how they survived andromeda and anthem

>>712507971 (OP)
It's not Bioware devs who are on suicide watch it's Square Enix/ Creative Studio 3 on the 41% watch.

>FF16 an action combat game, departure from turnbased
>meant to appeal to devil may cry crowd
>it didn't and yet Stellar Blade did
>No sexy characters in FF16, all the women are covered up except for a single scene but you don't seen anything, even Shiva in her Eikon form is completely covered up, not even a cleavage on display unlike FF15
>moving further away from it's turnbased routes because YoshiP specifically stated you can't have turnbased with realistic looking graphics then comes along Exp 33 the GOTY contender and one of the best games of the generation doing everything that a Final Fantasy game is meant to do.

There's more to add
>FF16 a timed ps5 exclusive
>Stellar Blade a timed ps5 exclusive
>Both then release 1-2 years later on PC
>FF16 gets a maximum of 27k concurrent players on steam
>Stellar Blade gets 180k concurrent players on steam

According to Schreier, they didn't survive Veilguard.
Bioware Edmonton is no more, as of May this year, just EA Edomnton, a random hub for EA employees.
The name Bioware exists only in paper.
The people working on the next ME are just a couple dozen.

>>712511562
Nobody cares, bro.
This is the Bioware thread.
Or would be, if Bioware was still a thing.

>>712511803
I claim this to be the Square Enix hatred thread now, bioware sucked off too many dicks and died of gay pool aids. Square Enix is who I'm shitting on because they deserve it especially for what they did to FF14.

>>712507971 (OP)
Probably the same things they are always thinking about
Loads of gay shit

>>712512086
Go making your own thread, mate.

>>712512441
Gonna cry because I've squatting in your gay thread?

>what are the Bioware devs (or former devs lmao) thinking right now?
Making more shooter sloppa and wokeshit to appeal to the masses.

>>712508429
that dude trooned out hard, hopefully they keep him far far away from any mass effect projects.

>>712512527
>Gonna cry
I came to the Bioware thread to talk Bioware.
Why is that so much to ask?

>>712512612
They should be making more woke garbage just so they can waste more money.

>>712512631
He got fired from BIoware, and that was half a year ago.
Nobody hiring that mother fucker to write anything more than post-it notes.
Come to think of it, probably not even post it notes.
Someone get this nigga's pens away from him entirely.

>>712507971 (OP)

bioware does not have a dev problem it has a writer problem and product management problem

they went all in into the '' new audience '' and marvel tone and it backfired hard

new mass effect will either solve both problems or show that bioware does not have the capacity to self correct anymore and as such will be put down by EA

masterclass sale by the doctors btw

>>712512953
>>bioware does not have a dev problem it has a writer problem and product management problem
Bioware has an existence problem.
>>712511564

>>712512873
Is that really in veilguard goog god who wrote and directed this shit

>>712507971 (OP)
No, BioWare is full of retarded dysgenic mutants that can’t write or do anything that doesn’t involve faggy idpol shit.

>>712507971 (OP)
I know a few people who jumped ship mid dev cycle on DA:V

They aren't even thinking about BioWare anymore. Just bad memories.

>>712507971 (OP)
>these games have a problematic lack of colored and transfolk representation

>>712507971 (OP)
This implies BioWare devs are capable of thought. I'm pretty sure they're just AI drones programmed off tumblr.

>>712513093
Don't worry, that was just the half of it.

>>712508145
>Patrick Weekes was begin for a job

>>712513160
E33 would be massively improved if maele had a dick

>>712513507
no

>bioware
>Thinking
If they could they wouldn't have made veilguard
Literally no one at the studio said "let's tone it down guys if we want to get the message out let's make it more digestible for normies"

Bioware, much like Democrats, overestimated their own numbers. They thought the whole world practiced their same religion. They thought the "alt-right" were a loud minority of racist white teenage males. They had no idea what world they actually live in. Most of them still aren't aware of why they lost.

Yeah, I saw that a bit too late
Escuse me sar
I will do better sar
Do not redeem the position sar
I will work for less rupee sar

>>712513913
They had a ton of issues.
Even pinning the writing on Matt Goldman, as the article says, there's a million other issues, including, but not limited to
>the art direction
>the character designs
>the puzzles
>the level design
>the combat
>the plot
Even then, can't get the VAs to work on the game, because of the actor strikes, so you can't record new lines? Recast the actors. Including Solas, including Harding, including Morrigan. Or, better yet, don't bring back old characters, if you're going to treat them like shit.

>>712507971 (OP)
Wasn't it revealed recently that EA told Bioware that the modern audience existed for Veilguard?

>>712515436
>EA told Bioware that the modern audience existed for Veilguard?
No, that was Matt Goldman, apparently.
Which is easy to pin the blame on, because he left 6 years ago.

or something.

>>712518684
More like
>those fucking chuds ruined our game, we'll own them even harder with the next one

>>712508429
Funny how everyone believed he would be a good lead writer due to his work on the DLC for Inquisition, only for Gaider to reveal that he basically had to hand hold Weekes the entire time.

>>712518684
>disgustingly antiwhite
>90 percent of the cast was white
>the only black party member is one of 2 characters that can be sacrificed
What exactly was anti white about Veilguard?

>>712519429
I kinda feel for Gaider, it really feels like he was saddled with some awful writers, and he was doing the best he could under the circumstances.
But he also did not believe that he was fucked up in any way, nor did anything to change the writers room for the better. So he got what he fucking deserved.
