Well the industry is looking at Baldur’s Gate 3 to learn how fantasy RPG are supposed to be made. CEO thinks the only thing really missing is the only thing BG3 does NOT have.
OFFS.
It couldn’t be the lackluster story, lack luster game play that everyone seems to point out. Nope it has to be not being a live service…
The children yearn for dark patterns
I dared to hope that Mass Effect would be good.
I now dare to hope someone steps up to the plate and gives us a spiritual successor. I miss being a space captain having space adventures in space with my space buddies.
Some of the old team are working on one called “Exodus” that looks okay. Matthew McConaughey is involved somehow, so take of that what you will.
What a fucking idiot. I’m itching to refund it just for this statement alone.
Lmfao they will never learn
They know better. But this is the bullshit they spin to try and convince everyone else. It doesn’t work.
Maybe it works with shareholders, who seem to be as invested and interested in quality as EA CEO
incredible, you absolutely nailed it mr CEO
Yup, I didn’t get it because there simply wasn’t enough seasonal content, loot boxes, battle passes, and FOMO elements. Better luck next time EA!
Same. No battlepass? No money.
Well, obviously. Just look at the massive success by the other major game in the genre, Baldur’s Gate 3. Fucking packed to the rafters with live service elements so that must be it.
I just couldn’t stop buying the bg3 season passes, fomo-exclusive character skins and consumable magic item bundles to feed the one companion whose name escapes me atm.
/S
I’ve got so many Golden Keys for opening Ultra-Elite chests in BG3, but it won’t give me the exclusive Golden Helm of Baldur with the alternate mod slot unless I upgrade my golden Keys with exclusive in-game currency.
</s> is a conversation I’ve never heard around BG3.
Dragon Age 1: Quest 1: Here is the exact ritual to create new Gray Wardens
Every Dragon Age since: You’re the last Gray Warden! No one knows how to make more!
To be fair, Duncan knew it and technically there are realities with no survivors from that ritual… There are also realities where it appears your Gray Warden has been running around spiking people’s drinks with dark spawn blood because how the hell do we keep getting more wardens? It’s possible that the knowledge was really lost due to a few Wardens thinking “No, I won’t repeat that.”
The truth of the matter is, no one can bring themselves to put taint that many times in the modern games.
Dragon Age is not a popular IP.
I know one person who was excited for this release.
I tried to get into it in DA2, but the characters and story were so fucking cardboard I couldn’t stand it.
Varrick is a national treasure (but DA2 did kind of suck)
Varrick is a national treasure
if only Larian made the next Dragon Age game like they did with BG3
Like, why though, it seems like the main reason it failed is because very few people care about Dragon Age, why not have a well loved developer make something people are excited about?
Lots of people care about DA, very few people care about whatever the fuck DAV was
You sound like a fucking CEO.
“We ruined this whole game from the beginning by making this single player franchise into a live service and changed our mind half way through, so what we have is a poorly written story with bad characterisation, tokenism, generic combat that always feels exactly the same regardless of how you approach a fight and only three skills to equip for the whole damn game. Obviously nobody likes it because nobody cares about dragon age.”
