Given EA's hardon for lootboxes, microtransactions, and forced social interactions, is a new Mass Effect really something we'd want from them?

I believe Jason Schreier has said there's a team at Bioware buckling down to relaunch Anthem like No Man's Sky did. They're copying their tactic by going radio silent and taking the heat until they come back to save it.

But No Man's Sky was an indie game that sold a shitload and sold even more later. Anthem is a AAA game that is already in the bargain bin. I don't know how they could save it.

thats why i said free Bioware
Bioware fucked up here though. They really didn't get started on working on this project until way too late and EA gave them what, 5 years to do it? Or something like that.


The engine made developing the game incredibly difficult and there was no clear vision for the game until years in.

Both EA and Bioware deserve the blame. They're not a good pair.

Bioware are just stuck in a shitty loop.

Bioware will pitch a game and EA's priority is wondering how they can monetize it after launch. So Bioware pitch a game they think will please EA.

Bioware use Frostbite to please EA but when they ask for support they're told that EA Sports and DICE get priority because their games monetize better.

EA let Bioware flounder for years without a solution until they stamp their foot down and demand progress so Bioware crunch and get the game done.

Anyone who was remotely creatively involved with ME1 has been gone for years.

You'd get Andromeda 2.0.

There was no timeline in which Andromeda would not have been pure garbage.

It's not pure garbage though. It has the best gameplay of the entire series. It's combat is ridiculously satisfying. It's only sins as of now are its story and characters(save for a few).

I don't know why EA buys certain studios if they hate the kind of games they make.

I know some people will say Bioware's downfall began with ME3 or maybe even earlier, but I do believe Bioware's sharp turn downward began when they were forced to use Frostbite for their games. Dragon Age: Inquisition managed to still be good, but I bet it would have been way better if they could have actually used their own engine (one designed for actual RPGs and not FPSs). Andromeda likely would have turned out better too (tho no engine could have saved the bad story and terrible characters we ended up with so who knows). Anthem likely would have been something salvageable.

Mass Effect 3 is one of the earliest 60 dollars lootbox games and it still gets mad praise for its system.
