  • Bioware’s IP is not worth as much as they think. Mass Effect 1 was a great game, not because of the story but despite of it. And then it was ruined after the first one. Remember thermal clips? The giant skeleton shit ending? That’s a franchise killer and ME3 was a zombie, never played it after the second one ended in that travesty. Then they diluted it further and made absolutely plain there’s nothing to yearn for with Andromeda (did try that one, it manages to make a scifi RPG in a great engine that’s so boring they’d have to pay me to finish it. Dragon’s Age was completely wrecked and unappealing even before they dropped the abysmal Veilguard. Bioware hasn’t made anything good in about 20 years (since the original Mass Effect). I didn’t play their Sonic Chronicles from 2008, but everything I touched after that was safe slop with all the modern-console-rpg irritants and no soul.

    Practically the only franchise they haven’t thoroughly fucked & compromised is MDK. MDK2 was a good game.
