Good. Hopefully they'll shut the rest of their studios down too.

EA was the first to make me realize all those years ago,"Oh, a company can be bad." And they haven't changed a bit.

i wonder when a company sells itself to ea they think "it won't happen to us, we're bomb rear end game makers" or maybe the need for money is so pressing they don't see the inevitable ruin that awaits them

apparently Dragon Age: Inquisition was actually ok. I just didn't play it because I'm still completely Bioware'd out from Mass Effect 2

It wasn't great but it was better than Dragon Age 2. There was a big filler to story ratio though and the game felt like it needed another third.

I think Mass Effect 1 and 2 were good, but the increasing emphasis on relationships and the abysmal writing really dragged down everything after those.

Just have Bioware make a true Neverwinter Nights sequel. And while we're at it maybe Obsidian can make another KotOR and Capcom can make a new Mega Man and the Easter Bunny can jerk me off while unicorns piss on my face

The reason they stopped making good games is because there were no new Persona games to rip off for a while

The only rpg that had a good dialogue choice system was Alpha Protocol and Walking Dead just made an entire game out of that mechanic but made it 1000x gayer because it was about killing zombies instead of trying to gently caress apt babes.

Although this is the same Maxis studio that made some of my favorite games from my childhood, none of the people responsible for those games are still working at Maxis now. So I don't really feel anything towards this. Sim City and Sims 4 were disasters.

Actually it was some jap guy that made Sim Tower. He made a sequel for Sega called Yoot Tower.
