Yeah unfortunately it seems like EA is still operating under the directive of “We want the Call of Duty/Fortnite audience,” and DA:V is a game made to appeal to that audience. I’ll never understand why they spend so much time and money to acquire incredible studios like Bioware and Visceral just to tell them “Actually those incredibly good games you made were stupid, you should make games like this.”

It never effects executives or managers though. The whole problem with the current Western games industry is that the idiots who keep thinking up games nobody wants to play are the only ones who don’t get fired when their idea flops.

Have you played much of the rest of the series? DA:V is a perfectly adequate game with incredibly lukewarm themes in a series of pretty good games with dark and interesting themes. I think a lot of people, myself included, were hoping that after the success of Baldur’s Gate 3, EA would turn to the studio that made Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 and say “I want that, make me a game like that.” Instead, we got a serviceable fantasy RPG. Fine if you really like that kinda thing, but I’ve only so much time for those games, and it’s much better spent on Avowed and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

We’ve officially gotten to the point where videogame layoff news has become so oversaturated that incredibly simple firings are reported with outrage.

Hey wow, look what happens when we don’t buy their games and loudly organize to tell others not to buy their games over this bullshit!

There’s still nothing Sony puts out that I really think is all that good, but hopefully this serves as another message to the industry to stop with this dumb bullshit. Funny how Sony has been getting a lot of those kinda messages recently.

Pretty sure all the hype was by potter-heads. I don’t know anyone who enjoyed playing the game who wasn’t also a die-hard fan of Harry Potter.

Yeah absolutely, really itching to just bash the first smarmy fascist I see.

In minecraft, y’know?

Ooh, this seems like an excellent guess.

Good! Wonder what trend the brain-dead CEOs are going to chase after now. Cozy games?
