He has a couple funny skits about how they constantly namedrop the badguys over and over and over throughout the game.
Yeah, I am not wading through 47 minutes just for that. He technically did these gags in his older reviews. Some funny, other became old hat and repetitive. Most skit reviews done in the Channel Awesome style I stopped liking years ago.

1- I haven't heard a single pronoun yet so all these posts about all the politics culture war crap- I dunno what y'all are even on about.
Are you playing with the audio off? Otherwise, never having played or even seen the game, I don't believe you. Evidence: you used 3 pronouns in the above sentence.

wtf is this post?

I was responding to u/CriticalGaming talking about gender identity and I'm sure you know how referencing "pronouncing" when discussing social and gender issue these days refers to identity issues not the grammatical term "pronoun" in sentence structure.
I then posted an update later that I did indeed encounter the themes u/CriticalGaming was talking about.

So take that trolling smart-ass shit somewhere else, buddy.

Sometimes I think that something someone says gets exaggerated or taken out of context by folks on the internet who are really looking to hate on them.
This is not one of those times. A game that went from live service to not being lamented for "failing" when it's not live service- based on no proof, and especially right now when live service games are falling apart left and right- is a gobsmacking level of dumbass.

I get where you're going with. Though you do realize this is EA were talking about? It's pretty clear that this game was going to be live. service at one point. It explains the rush and the production trouble. To the game's credit, it is polished, and functions correctly with no technical issues.

Andrew Wilson has screwed up many times before, and this won't be his last mistake either. Especially when he'll never have to pay for it, nor ever learn. There really isn't much taken out of context when the same track record has happened before, again and again.

As a reminder, this guy was the co-director of DA: O, the sole director for DA:2, and Exec. Producer of Anthem, and blamed ME: A's failure on Zelda BOTW.

IDK, maybe he developed victim complex after releasing one good game, and being involved in one crap after, but he seems to be missing the point here.

Yes, it is kind of a dick move to laugh at people losing these jobs, but just the non-leaderships. The leaders knew exactly what they were doing, doubled-downed on their decisions, were so certain that they were right, and were shocked when the game was a failure. So I feel people are mocking at them, for bringing their own downfall.

At this point, its clear bioware need a serious kick in the butt. Yes, EA (ie the corporation) is the main responsible, but corporation aren't ghostly spirit, their made up of many peoples. While EA meddling almost certainly didn't help, its not like the rank and file are perfectly innocent. It takes a bad writer to write bad dialogue, even if they're steered in a poor direction. Plenty of people disliked the art direction they went with, but its not like that fully tied the designer and 3D artist hands.

Lets say, magically, all the bad higher up disappeared and they left bioware free to do whatever it wanted next, is there any reason to believe that they would come out with something amazing?

Apparently this will be given out for free for ps+ users next month. Hurray for having 27 jrpgs to play I didn't bother with it yet. Also rip to all the people who actually bought it.

Eh... I don't regret buying it. These days I only buy games I'm pretty confident I will complete if they're over $10
