Sometimes yes, however EA left the decision up to Bioware.  Frostbite was not forced on them.

25 years ago.  A lot happens in that span of time.  

That might be the common denominator, but the fault is all on Bioware.  EA didn’t force Casey Hudson to overhype and subsequently lie about the ending of ME 3.  EA never forced Bioware to use the Frostbite engine for a game that was clearly not compatible with it.  They didn’t force Bioware to sit on Anthem for almost…

If you were hoping for that from Bioware, you were barking up the wrong tree.  That was never going to happen, not from them.

What you stated is just reporting the news, that’s not journalism either. Real journalism is digging until you get to the heart of the matter and reporting what you find. And I think you’ll often find that that is often one sided.

And tell me, which side did you choose?  The lying abusive manipulator?  Or the lying abuse manipulator?

And tell me, what is the risk/reward for getting bullied? Get punched in the face for merely existing? Wow really should’ve thought that through, totally my fault.

If you need to ask for a ruleset explicitly defining what is and isn’t cheating, you’re probably cheating.

Well you see, most of his legal team is also being charged with the same RICO charges Trump is being charged with. That kinda puts a damper on getting quality legal representation.

Because he’s not ACTUALLY rich, he’s only rich on paper, which doesn’t mean anything.

I just want to point out in the context of this article, this is the kind of thing a shady villain would say.

I like the spirit of the change, but it’s superfluous at best and a completely empty gesture at worst. I can’t watch a stream because I’m banned? Ok, I’ll log out, and I’m still watching the stream.

The number of people bending over to defend the sorry state of AAA gaming is astounding.

Because the Reapers are no longer a threat that can be ignored, can no longer be put off. Failing to stop them now means EVERYONE dies. Dropping what we’re doing to cure the genophage is a waste of precious time we don’t have time to waste.  The thing is if we were talking about a Renegade Shepard, then I could…

I think the reason Cleric is at the bottom is because a large percentage of players fundamentally misunderstand what a Cleric brings.  MMO’s have conditioned the uninitiated (and plenty of initiates) D&D players that Cleric = healer.  More specifically, healbot.  Something I’ve been telling players of the original…

Exactly.  That will always be the biggest flaw with heavy RNG based games like this.  You take away the human element and you lose a lot of what makes the tabletop game fun.  That, I feel is what John is saying in this article.

I might not be so anti-dice if I had encountered more honest players. I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to lose multiple characters over the course of a single campaign due to an unlucky string of bad rolls, but everyone else’s characters always seem to escape relatively unharmed. Start of the fight with a BBEG :…

I’m a long time player of the table top, and very rarely have I encountered a flat pass/fail situation. Outside of combat, even if you fail you still have other options to explore. There’s plenty of wiggle room of passing and failing. Sure you successfully picked the lock, but since you nailed the exact number you…

That’s not what John is saying. He’s not asking for an “always win” situation. What he’s pointing out is in the tabletop version you can work around your failures, dice rolls in video games take away the actual role playing aspect of role playing games.

Is that really worse than the implication that the real Shepard survived the destruction of the Citadel while in orbit around the Earth AND subsequent crashlanding upon reentry?
