What kind of experience? Recently? So...alright but disappointing?

Last I recall the most recent use of their heart/soul resulted in a beloved franchise getting put on ice.

I want Mass Effect back - and done properly. If Anthem turns out to be amazing, there's a lot of fans who'd appreciate the heart/soul back in the ME. So best of luck, but less talking please. All of these fluff pieces remind me of the build up to Mass Effect Andromeda.

Deliver the game. Nothing else will sway my opinion until then.

UltraNova2106d ago

And a game they will deliver...will it be a game people want to play though?

I'm smelling Destiny all over again. No story, online focused. Not the “heart and soul of a BioWare experience” not by a long shot.

TheColbertinator2107d ago (Edited 2107d ago )

Not too long ago Bioware delivered gem after gem. The days of Baldur's Gate and KOTOR were golden of course but even Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 had tremendous brilliance in their production values.

Anthem will be put to trial by fire but unlike ME : Andromeda it seems that the company's value to EA hinges on its critical and commercial success.

DVAcme2106d ago

My Bioware <3 game was Jade Empire. The fact that game never got a sequel is a travesty.

Not that I'd want them making a sequel NOW, natch.

lociefer2107d ago

When your heart and soul are owned by EA, and when you release a game like andromeda, what heart and soul are you talking about ?

So far, it doesn't look like it.

I dunno. Might actually be better than Forza Motorsport 2023 was at launch.

@DivineHand125

Yes. All of the ones on Xbox since the beginning. I even have the original Best Buy demo copy and FM2 limited edition that they didn't even sell in the US.

BeHunted1d 20h ago

Did you actually read the article? They're talking about open world games like Forza Horizon, The Crew, etc. Not circuit racers; otherwise, they'd mention Gran Turismo.

MrBaskerville1d 15h ago

Unpopular opinion it seems. But yeah, Forza Motorsport was the worst game in the series since Forza Motorsport 5. Huge letdown. Did they ever rework it? absolutely hated the campaign progression and the rpg systems relating to upgrading cars. Ended up just going back to 6 and 7 instead, those two also had a LOT more stages.

Only a competitor if your game works fully offline and isn't some service.

DigitallyAfflicted2d ago

it sounds like this game is stuck in last generation.

Skuletor2d ago

Personally, I wouldn't want my game compared with The Crew at all, I certainly wouldn't be the one making the comparison either.

ElaBosak1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 23h ago )

How so? It's a very successful and popular racing franchise. Any game entering the genre is competing with racing games including The Crew.

Skuletor1d 22h ago

It wasn't very long ago Ubisoft shutdown the original The Crew's servers, making every copy unplayable. I wouldn't want to be associated with that controversy.

ElaBosak1d 5h ago

Yeah, they shut it down because the community has moved on other entries. And there's no controversy outside of your tiny social bubbles.
