I mean... that's *probably* a step in the right direction compared to what I gleaned from Andromeda's lackluster writing. Not sure I've read/seen any of his original work, but I've enjoyed several of his videos.

Only, how will story be compromised for gameplay?

coolbeans787d ago

Tough to really gauge that from this bit of news. Bioware's balance/quality of EITHER has been damaged since 7th gen.

toxic-inferno787d ago (Edited 787d ago )

Even if they're just getting him to edit the scripts and rebalance the narrative, it will be beneficial. He doesn't necessarily need to be involved in the initial writing process.

Analysing something critically is very different from being able to create that thing.

senorfartcushion787d ago

Good for him.

Not a perfect writer by any means, but neither are most Americans.

Godmars290787d ago

Implying that a certain nationality makes for good writers?

C4rnos787d ago

I think in this case it's the implication of the culture over there that creates the problem.

aaronaton786d ago

Well it is very clear from history that people from Europe are known to be the best writers.

CanadianTurtle786d ago

Many American writers nowadays are too coddled to tackle sensitive subject matter. Whenever a new Tarantino movie comes out, or a new GTA game, or South Park episode, it's always the American critics that whines the loudest.

MadLad787d ago

There are perfect writers in general?
What is the metric we base that off of?

pietro1212787d ago

What’s that supposed to mean?

porkChop786d ago

Many of the most respected writers in history were American, so I don't understand why you felt the need to make that comment.

Bladesfist786d ago

If you limit history to the last 300 years then maybe. I would have thought that Greece has the most well respected historical writers.

Hope it's better then Andromeda

slowgamer786d ago

Yes. Combat was ok in Andromeda but everything else was bad.

justsomeoffdude786d ago

Not sure why you got downvotes.

INMATEofARKHAM16h ago

You must be new here. This is Sony country.

gigoran817h ago

because an account tied to an email that is likely a burner is going to end the world

Goodguy0110h ago

I really wish gamers would also step up against every other 3rd party app/sign in required game out there. Sigining in to psn is no different than gta, ubi and ea games.
