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.
if only Larian made the next Dragon Age game like they did with BG3
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.
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
Nailed it. He is making excuses to shareholders.
I hope EA crashes and burns and that all the IP they gobbled up and/or murdered can be free from its clutches
What a fucking idiot. I’m itching to refund it just for this statement alone.
It was Skill-up’s review that turned me off it and I’m glad I never played it from the rest of the reviews I’ve read. The art direction is so off-putting and I love the line “it feels like HR is in the room with you in every scene”, I have no idea what they were thinking.
Fuck off EA. That’s all that needs to be said.
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.
I didn’t even dare to hope. Just look at the games that have been put out over the decade? With such high quality games like Anthem, Andromeda and now Veil Guard.
Yeah, Bioware is just a name, and has no prestige anymore.
I liked Andromeda though. It made me feel like maybe they could return to form. The narrative was not great and completely forgettable along with the followers but I liked the gameplay and I’ll die on the hill that exploration wise it was a better Mass Effect 1 than Mass Effect 1. The writing was what needed work and I was hoping they would get it right this time around. But seeing how the studio was gutted and this is the lesson they learned from Veilguard I now fully expect it to be a Helldivers ripoff. In fact screencap this.
It might not be of help but I’m satisfying my space exploration and ship captain itch with a heavily modded Starfield (Constellation 4K collection on Nexus so that’s around 200 mods).
It’s not perfect but at least I have a middle ground between No mans sky, Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous.
Plus, sniping people in the face on a moon is fun.

You mean this one? https://next.nexusmods.com/starfield/collections/npk3lv
I can’t login atm and while ublock can remove the login overlay, I can’t open the lists to see the proper list of mods and changes.
Starfield didn’t do it for me, well it did but not like Mass Effect did. Bethesda games used to be my favorite but I prefer somewhat less open ended games nowadays. They play more like survival base building games than RPGs. I miss oblivion.
Thought for a moment that it was the onion.
Die EA
It’s like they don’t know what made DAO good.
Hmm honestly they could have probably milked the fans of this game those who enjoyed it and it’s God awful writing. I’m sure it’s got a enough gacha, shitty skins, and tons of grinding the whales come out in full force.
