MEA vs Other Games of 2017/2018 Hype, reviews, mechanics, story, marketing, personal ranking

For anyone having worked in economics and PR, there is a lot of evidence. Most glaringly, them not countering the rumors but staying noncommital in their statements. If these rumors were false, crisis PR would have a field day dismantling them. The other one, pushing Dylan's release into the next fiscal year, which is a highly unusual and costly step for any major corporation. There's obviously the feeling of emergency. Something they need to react to, even if it means short time losses.

Yeah, it hasn't been confirmed. So why is it any more probable to be a thing than MEA not meeting prospective sales and other projects being pushed back because of it?

Who should develop DA4 in the first place? Which studio, since Edmonton is busy developing the new IP?

As someones having worked for the better part of 20 years in a field closely related to PR, I know how to read the language. And what you said doesn't fit the usual bill at all. If there's a shitstorm, you don't lean back and let it happen to come up with a big surprise. That's considered business suicide. You counter it with every tool available to you, that's called crisis PR. Has developped into an own field since the rise of social media and the necessity to counter rumors and fake news. Nothing of that kind can be observed here.

I like the game. I sank a couple of hundred hours into it and would love to see it expanded with story driven DLCs. But going by what I read so far, it's not gonna happen. Not if there isn't already something finished or close to the finish line.

What you fail to see is, they reacted as expected. I can't recall their exact wording back then, but on the old Bioware board I made the case for this being PR statements and that something was in the works. They followed what you expect from PR statements to the letter. You might want to look my old posts up, if they're still active.

Same here. There are keywords and actions pointing into a certain direction. We're talking about the corporate world here, and like it or not, they don't deviate from business practices when it comes to public statements.

You don't have to believe me. Noone believed me back then either, since they were busy crunching numbers and spamming the games are art arguments. Just wait and see.

ok, certainly open to waiting and seeing, perhaps you will be right. 

Haven't played it, but that in itself won't make a game. That in itself doesn't break a game either.

I wish. Love to be a writer for them.





And mass opinion is supposed to sway me? Sorry, I have a mind of my own. Andromeda is the best game this year.

So far. I haven't seen any other game this year interesting me, and it was the first purchase I did. But there's room for improvement. It remains to be seen if any game steps in to fill that room.

Maybe for you. But Andromeda is the best game I played this year so far.

Then you have poor taste.

Yah, it sucks compared to the trilogy.

3 great game is worth buying a PS4 console or even PS4 pro if those games greatly supporting PS4 pro enhancement ( Nioh, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4, Until Dawn, Persona 5, Bloodborne GOTY edition, the latter 2 games ( Bloodborne and Persona 5) of course does not support PS4 pro ).
On the other hand Switch does not worth to buy. Imao BotW is far from a technological marvel and other than Mario Kart there is no good title on that console.
