BioWare is no more.
>>4135963It's been dead for a while.This is just lowering the coffin
mfw
>>4135969Yep, the last game I enjoyed from Bioware was Mass Effect 3 and that came out almost 15 years ago. And a lot of people hated ME 3 (I loved it despite the ending).
>>4135963Oh crap. Let's hope some crazed group of Renegade anons team up on N7 Day to paint every room of the EA Headquarters building red in retaliation for this heinousness
>>4135963Press S to spit

>>4135963KWAB
>>4135963>made 2 BioWare sequels, a Bethesda spin-off, and a sequel to an obscure dungeon crawler series>Bethesda can't make a Fallout game in 11 years>Obsidian finally gets to make a second Fallout game because Xbox got fed up with Bethesda>now BioWare is shut down and open for saleLooks like it's time for the clean-up crew to come in.
>>4136023Bethesda might be next
Pouring one out for BioWare. Sooner or later EA'll cut you down.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdBAdBfvMKY
DING DONG BREAD RINE
>>4136034This is all the fault of nasty trorr. Instead of trorr getting ding dong bannu, Biowaru got ding dong bannuthis is rine ---------------------- rine ends here
>>4136027It all depends on Elder Scrolls 6
>>4136050Like that will ever happen
>>4136023You mean the company that made Avowed? They're getting shut down next, retard.
>>4135963>What if we took our gay fanfiction tier writing, put it in a program and called it a game?Good fucking riddance.
>>4135984Tfu
Studio was dead when the last of the three doctors left in 2012. Momentum got Inquisition out the door which was much gayer than previous bioware titles. It was the end right then and there. They had become a studio like Rare. Technically still existing but with none of the culture or people that actually built them. Squatters.
>>4136065>>What if we took our gay fanfiction tier writing, put it in a program and called it a game?New Vegas thread is down the hall
>>4135963Damn, maybe they should've made good games.
>>4135963>Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Dragon Age, Mass Effect....>Anthem
>>4135963I think it deserves a sticky. BioWare is one of the most influential RPG's of all time. Yes, the newer games sucked but at their peak.. It WAS peak.
I used to love bioware, then inquisition and andromeda came out and everything went to shit.
>>4136161For a brief second as I looked at that screencap I remembered the feeling when Bioware was genuinely beloved. I've talked a lot of shit about them recently but I remember the good times. So long, fellas.
>>4135963Overdue, but fitting it happened when half the internet was down over PHP nonsense.
Bioware’s been lost since 2010. One can hope that the its spirit will, one day, rise from the ashes and bless the White race with a new BG-tier masterpiece.
>>4135963Fucking finally.They should have been closed after DA2 THOUGH.15 years of constant disappointment are finally over. jk the IPs will be bought out by someone (at least ME) and rape will continue
>>4135963They've been dead since March 5, 2013.
>>4135963Likely this means next ME they were working on was unsalvageable and they didn’t want to put money into it. Good call after veilshit. We’ll likely get some leaks of it soon.
>>4136111Seething biotroon. 1 > 3 > New Vegas > 4 > bos > 2 in terms of writing and it isn't even close
>>4136208Dragon age will be brought back as a mobile live service, but who will buy mass effect?
>>4136218>ragon age will be brought back as a mobile live service,SAARSAARALREDY HES BEENLY &ND GEME WAS SHIT SAARhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_of_Dragon_Age
>>4136221Well shit. Guess it's dead for good then. I want to rape merril
>>4136217>biotroon>”biological tranny goon”It’s time to log off. Dipshit kids don’t even know what words mean anymore.
>>4136223Nuh uh. It means slapping your dick with biowaste and using it as lube.
>>4136222I want to hug_ Morrigan
>>4136226I dont remember much, I'm pretty sure Morrigan was kinda stupid. At least merril has blood magic induced retardation.
>>4136228>Morrigan was kinda stupidMommy issues mall goth tsundere
>>4136228>>4136229* half of the post got lostShe was kinda dumb on purpose and the game allowed to either let her sort shit out (if you go romance route) or become dumber and more bitchy if you didn't touch her. Not that it matters since the only game that it is shown is cringequisition and in failguard (may pox be upon the developers) she is implied to be a dumb whore from tinderThe first iteration is somewhat cute thoughbeit
>>4135969About a decade. 2014's DA Inquisition was their best-selling game, despite the problems with the Frostbite engine. Idk what happened to Bioware after that. David Gaider leaving is one thing.
>>4136245Inquisition was the last hurrah. They pissed off the entire ME fanbase with 3 but held onto the dragon age fanbase. It's not that inquisition was horrible either, it was just a fine place to end everything given they were already on the edge after how EA made 2 go. Instead of Andromeda they should have made another dragon age. It would have kept the fire hot and given them time to do some real planning on how to address and carry on from the debacle of ME3.
>>4136245On the internal organization side itself Bioware heavily slowed down at making games. They only made three games between 2016-2026, compare it between 2005-2015 in which they released around 10 games. Their project management is really shit and rely on abusing their devs in an inhuman crunch time just to complete a game on schedule back in the day. It seems they are still shit and now can't abuse new employee as much as the older one who left en masse around 2015.
>>4136245EA happened. after doctors were kicked off they didn't have cohesive leadership and EA exec started meddling too much, changing trends. dreadwolf got restarted several times because some asshole wanted to make it live service etc
>>4136262Not really the best example given a portion of that timeframe is the EA crunch where they made their worst missteps.
>>4136256>The development of the fourth main entry in the Dragon Age series, code-named "Joplin", began in 2015 with Mike Laidlaw as its creative director. It was intended to be a smaller, more narrative-focused game set in the Tevinter Imperium region of the game's world setting, Thedas.>Development of the new Dragon Age was put on hold in late 2016, due to challenges with the development of BioWare's other games Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, a massively multiplayer online game that was very different from Bioware's previous single-player games. Many Dragon Age contributors were pulled into the final months of Andromeda's development, with the remainder later joining the Anthem team, leading to "Joplin" being cancelled in October 2017. Several veteran Dragon Age staff, including Laidlaw, left the company in response to Joplin's cancellation in 2017.Maybe this does explain some of the downfall
>>4136266It's crazy how Anthem was simultanously so inconsequntial that it may as well not exist because I don't even remember it was a thing until someone mentions it, yet also probably the reason for Bioware's downfall.
>>4135963what the fuck is anthem???
>>4136274Exactly
>>4135963>BioWare is no morethis has unfortunately been the case for a few years already by now.
>>4135963>mfw we'll never get to meet a transgender reaper
>>4136287>green end>we will never see shepard bang a reaper
>>4135963>AnthemReally? They're in a rush to own up to that absolute trash fire?
>>4136294We'll bang, OK?
>>4136208Corpo will not sell those IPs. They learned not to sell them because they can become valuable in future. They will put them into a freezer and then unfreeze after 10 years, making some garbage nostalgiabait which will flop and bury them for another 10 years.
>>4136341The Blizzard way
>>4135963Yes yes yes yesI waited for it since 2011DA2 and ME2, never forgive, never forget
>>4136034>>4136040I was there. I spent two weeks at bullying that sperg.
>>4136208Zoomers will never know the absolute shock and disgust of seeing the first hour of DA2 in 2011. And then, TW2 came out. CDPR made a better Bioware game than Bioware itself.
>>4136217>3 and 4 mentioned at all>2 is bad>no FTcut your wrists and die
>>4136264Don't act as if those 2 faggots were any good.The fuckups of ME2 and DA2 happened under the doctors. Retards like Laidlaw, Gaider, Hamburger Helper allowed to do whatever they want, it all happened under the doctors. Faggotry? Doctors as well.
>>4136407Tactics is shit. It's interesting but that doesn't make it anything but a shit tactics goyme.>3 and 4 mentioned at all3 has good sidequests and mother's hip zeta was kino and 4 has good shooting even if everything else is worse than 3 and nv. 2 isn't bad, it just has worse writing than brotherhood of steel
I do not really care for dragon age or kotor Pretty much bioware lives and dies with the bhaalspawn saga and me trilogy in my mind
>>4135963>BioWare is no more.I'm going to be a controversial bastard and say good. Not because I dislike them and not just to be a fag but because it is their time. Bioware, like many of these legacy studios started with a dream and a small team, unfortunately they lost sight of their objectibe and with their success the scope of their projects has grown astronomically until their reach exceeded their grasp. The quality of their modern games has plummeted despite the ludicrous financial investments and the industry, and consumers, continue supporting them in spite of their failings all because of what they were, not what they are. They've had their time and they've had their time. The real tragedy is that they got greedy and were not prepared to bow out gracefully until it was forced upon them.
>>4136217>>4136419>>4136407As a proper fallout superfan that actually played all of these games and got into literal months long nma cat fightsIts S TIER 1, NVA TIER 2, SHELTER B TIER 3, 4C TIERBOSD TIER76 TACTICSI don't really get the tactics dicksucking, its incredibly boring and feels outright terrible to actually play. They should have only done turn-based and optimized for that instead of letting the player choose 2 extremely lesser modes.
>>4136430And bos is just a medicore but okay dark alliance ripoff
>>4136426>I'm going to be a controversial bastard and say good.That's not controversial at all
>>4136430Isnt 76 good now? Or at least better than eso and swtor?
