I feel though, it’s a different kettle of fish to make a new studio to make an MMO than it is to ask a bunch of people who made Mass Effect to make an MMO (while at the same time asking a new studio to make a Mass Effect.)

I mean, it’s my experience that every online-only game I’ve ever seen tends to get dominated by “rude white guys” so making a *Bioware* game always online is just bizarre to me when Bioware has such a diverse group of fans (which Bioware ordinarily appears to want to cater to) many of whom gravitate to “single player…

Here’s how to tell whether or not Mr. Soret is sincere. Right now, in his defense, the usual suspects have started harassing old Gamergate targets because Zoe Quinn is apparently responsible for someone else entirely digging up the dumb stuff that Mr. Soret said on twitter or something (that lot was never good at…

Number one feature request:

My real question is: If I don’t have a 4K TV and I have no particular interest in acquiring one, then there’s no real reason to pay attention to the XOX, right?

I think, unless the change of heart has been public, sincere, and actually includes a direct attempt to make amends to the people harmed by that particular sad chapter in the history of gaming culture, there’s absolutely no way I’m buying or otherwise supporting your game no ifs, ands, or buts. Nobody who had…

I mean, the reason I love Bioware games is that I don’t like playing games with other humans who aren’t in the same room I am, and Bioware makes things that are “like playing D&D but you don’t have to coordinate when everyone is free.” I had never seen a game that appeals to me *less* than Destiny until I saw Tom…

I mean, the basic premise of the game appears to be “If society were to meet everybody’s basic needs, humanity’s drive and creativity would stagnate.”

Yup, this is the least appealing Bioware game to me since MDK2.

Yeah, this could be the greatest game ever made and I want no part of it whatsoever.

Anthem really doesn’t seem like it’s for the people who play Bioware games for the “hangin’ with your fictional pals” stuff, does it?

The only solace I can take from this is that the nonsense Benoit is currently serving up has distracted him from complaining incessantly about Ty Montgomery’s jersey number.

While ME:A was still being announced at E3s and the like, I honestly wondered if it was wise to try to do a game this ambitious as a studio’s first game (I had the impression that it was primarily or exclusively Bioware Montreal behind it, which might be erroneous.) I mean, previously Bio Montreal’s list of credits…

Since Isometric Fallout/Wasteland game, Psychonauts 2, and Planescape: Torment sequel are off my wishlist from a few years back I think I have to go with “Jade Empire Sequel.”

So energy counters are universal (i.e. specific to the player) not specific to the card that generates them? That makes sense then.

Lapsed MtG player here (I started in Beta, last set I bought cards from was Betrayers of Kamigawa, 12 years is a long time to play anything). How exactly are you getting the six energy counters to activate Aetherworks Marvel? Is there a dredge-like mechanic to exploit or are you getting roughly half the cards you’ve…

Like, contextually, the original Fallout had children that could be killed. The idea was that if you were, say, using explosive weapons in a populated area you could accidentally kill a child NPC and there would be negative consequences to this (your reputations would all take a hit and bounty hunters would go after…

Was Andromeda supposed to be a reboot? It seemed to me like it was intending to be a “treading water” sort of project- keeping the Mass Effect brand in people’s minds while they figured out how to follow up Mass Effect 3 in the Milky Way galaxy. After all, no matter how many Mass Effect games they set in a different…

I’m kind of concerned that “this way we don’t have to pay out metacritic bonuses” would be considered a positive by Bethesda.

Is it wrong that my initial reaction is “It’s three colors, so it’s kind of janky”.
