So I clicked the first link in this thing out of morbid curiosity, and now I will quote up to the exact point where I lost any and all interest in it:

"We're excited to announce today the release of a BioWare project that's unlike anything we've done before. Over the past few months, the BioWare Online Services team..."Right there. At the phrase ( Read more... )

Remember Shadow Realms? That "4v1 asymmetrical online RPG" thing that I had some tiny amount of interest in, until I found out it was going to be a "4v1 asymmetrical online RPG"?

Yeah, as the headlines says, it got canceled. Imagine my utter astonishment at this news. *eye-roll*

The Humble Bundle going on right now is a shitload of Star Wars games, with more to be added next week. I'd say this Bundle is worth it just for KotOR 1 (i.e. a BioWare game made back in the days when BioWare was actually still awesome, before it started sucking ass) and KotOR 2, if nothing else, though I went ahead and paid the $12 to get all of ( Read more... )

"So exactly how will you go about purchasing the inevitable DLC, you ask? 'Instead of using BioWare Points, PC and Mac users can purchase future DLC directly through Origin, using currency,' the announcement says."

Ah, so I have to use Origin. Well, thanks for giving me another reason not to buy the new Dragon Age game, EAWare.

I've talked more than a little about Planescape: Torment and how I think it's the best old-school BioWare-style game that wasn't actually made by BioWare (and better than the ones that were made by BioWare)... well, now I'm going to mention what I think is the best old-school BioWare-style game that actually was made by BioWare: Jade EmpireOkay, so ( Read more... )

So that new BioWare game is apparently "a 4v1 asymmetrical online RPG". And... there goes any interest I may have had in it, dwindling down to nothing. Oh well.

And the downward spiral of BioWare continues.

Then again, this guy leaving might not necessarily be an entirely bad thing. That said, though, I think some of the guys in the comments under that article are being way too vicious and vindictive. The dude was involved in other stuff besides just Mass Effect 3, a lot of which was actually pretty ( Read more... )

The idea of a new BioWare IP would have been so much more exciting to me prior to seven years ago than it is now. From what very, very little I've seen of this, it looks like it might be something like BioWare's take on The Secret World. Well, as long as it isn't yet another MMO game (which was, ultimately, the reason I never got into The Secret ( Read more... )

Hmm. HMM.

Well, better it be Obsidian than fucking BioWare EA, definitely. The only reason KotOR 2 got panned as much as it did wasn't really Obsidian's fault, given that they were heavily rushed by LucasArts and had to cut a lot of content and make a shitty, rushed ending to what otherwise would have been a masterpiece. And yet, even in its ( Read more... )

Personally speaking, I believe we can add video games to that as well. This has been my experience over the past decade or two, anyway.
