I think they likely can, but they drank their own koolaid for so long that they haven’t for a while. There’s no doubt in my mind that they understand why their recent games have failed, if for no other reason than hundreds of thousands of words have likely been written on the subject.

The copium is strong with this one

It’s not a ‘return to form’ when they already admitted they dumbed the gameplay down by only allowing the player to control the protagonist

Wasn't SBI involved in this game?

Bioware was retardedly woke long before it became the industry standard. They don't need to outsource their gayness.

I control my disappointment by waiting to buy 99.9% of games until they hit at least 40%. “Destructed my tower?” Wtf? Maybe I’ll be waiting for the 67% discount on this one.

Pretty much the only games I’m willing to buy quickly and for full price these days are, kind of ironically, PS ports that immediately get good reviews. With everything else, I have an extremely hard time not waiting for the full release of all DLC, a deep sale, or both.

They made a decision to abandon Andromeda for Anthem.

Literally pulled all but a skeleton crew from ME:A , because they thought Anthem was the next big IP

So can they? I have my doubts.

That looks terrible. My memory of DA:O is better than that trailer

Now y'all are just being silly.

Sigh. Not defending a thing. I was addressing his comment that his memory of DA:O looked better than this, which is stupid. I get preferring the darker aesthetic from the previous games over the more colorful look of this, but this game doesn't look bad at all. We heard it when Fallout 4 was released and there was a lot of chatter that it didn't look any better than 3 or NV. Then you look at them side by side and it's just people being dramatic.

Why are you defending something that’s without failed gaurenteed to be absolute shite?

---

Your hyperbole is a bit much at times. I don't have much history with the DA series, probably won't play this, but the general chatter I've seen about this game is people are hyped for it. Again, this is more wishcasting that something is going to be a disaster because you don't like it.

This is probably a big reason why developing video games can be so frustrating. Do the same thing over and over, people whine about it. Do something different, people whine about it.

This is just an absolute lie

it's probably not with the incel army you follow on social media, but the general vibe with the rest of the gaming community seems, at a minimum, optimistic for it

just read this echo chamber

you only surround yourself with like minded opinions, it's going to seem like the whole world agrees with you

Idk why you feel the need to insult me. I’ve mostly never been anything but kind to you and even bought you a game. It’s laughable people with your general philosophical leanings call people incels who has been with the same woman for over 17 years. I’m a masters graduate of MIT and she’s a masters graduate of SCAD. I’m doing ok for myself.

And as unbelievable as this may be for you to fathom, not everything you refuse to accept is the undeniable truth is only told to you as such because everyone everywhere just exist in an echo chamber and doesn’t seek out what the truth is and actual general public sentiment. If anyone is likely biased claiming this game is supported it is because someone like you and your philosophy is more likely to engage with people with progressive politics who will defend this game no matter what
