I remember some people hating on origins for not being baldurs gate. That was short-lived. Also, WotC jacked around with license and took easy money from Atari or Infogrames or whatever it is now. The license wasn't (I know it's incredible) EA's fault. Hudson has baggage. I am not optimistic and disappointed that Flynn is stepping down. Hating on NWN for not being BG3 was long-lived, though. Of course, that was because the NWN OC wasn't very good.

I'm trying to find a baseball analogy to express my displeasure at this news. Oh i know this is kind of like trading David Ortiz for Pablo Sandoval. Hope it works out obviously and obviously he knows how to make games but there v needs to be a rebuilding of credibility after the you know what.
Though how much will this effect ME i wonder?

I wasn't saying anyone who enjoyed the game doesn't have a functioning brain. Critical success is different in this context than personal enjoyment of the game... in other words, I was taking aim at the gaming journalist faction. They rightfully were seen as corrupt - those taking money from large video game publishers and delivering padded positive game reviews. This too-close relationship was on exhibition when a gaming journalist was allowed to voice a character in the game. I wish my review of the game back in 2012 was still around. Still gave it an 8/10 in the end. No cushy relationship with someone, no money exchanged (which is always a bullshit claim anyway, as someone who does reviews at best you get a review code a few days early) just personal thoughts on what was played. Your anecdotal experience doesn't effectively negate the nepotism that's been clearly going on between large publishers in the game making and game reviewing industry - and yes it was a problem long before ME3 came out. It was clearly highlighted, however, when many large game review sites started trashing the folks who didn't like the ME3 ending - and when Diana Allers (voice by Jessica Chobot) was included in the ME3 game.

Mass Effect has just been saved. i doubt that very much. If the series is canned then the decision was made long before he got there. If the series is going to continue likewise it was made before he got there. And if he moves the series back to the MW...well that game will have to be extraordinarily good...like better then MEA or it will probably be my last MEA game.

I know it doesn't, but it does give me license to call you out for your armchair impressions of what is effectively a debunked conspiracy. Seriously though...trashing folks who didn't like the ending? Try trashing folks who were holding a charity hostage because they didn't get the ending they wanted, among other legitimate criticisms against the fans for the backlash. You don't really have stable ground to stand on to make a claim like that to me my friend. Only part you have right is the Chobot stuff. Otherwise...it's tin-foil hat stuff that presumes vs has evidence of.

I can't tell if the ass kissers on Twitter asking Casey to save ME are the same hypocrites who hated him for the ending, or just genuine fans. Oh the irony...

Well, really if we're talking about whether or not a game is a critical success, whether or not any one of us here likes it doesn't matter. I only took a brief look around the internet to find review scores, and overall it seems to be quite positive. It seems to me that regardless of its pitfalls, ME3 has a generally high critic score. And that maybe due to EA paying reviewers off. Then why wouldn't they pay off Andromeda reviewers? Or... maybe they did, and that's why Andromeda got 7's instead of 4's? Do you see how ridiculous this sounds? They're not paying off the entire gaming industry for reviews. You're personal opinion just happens to not coincide with critical consensus. It happens.

Eh, Casey left BioWare in August 2014. 1 year and half after Citadel DLC was released, 2 and half years after ME3 was launched and entire endings debacle happened. And he worked on early development stage of both Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem. He hardly left due to ME3 endings implosion.

I... I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, he led such projects as KOTOR and ME1. OTOH, he ended up leading Mass Effect off a cliff. Very conflicted.

This is great news for BioWare. Hopefully they bring ME back to the Milky Way. If not, fine, but I still think this is good news for BioWare as a whole.

I agree it was a non-story in the end. But it was far from a lie, which is the problem. People were revoking money donated to Child's Play because of the confusion regarding the Retake Mass Effect movements original post. Things were fixed later sure, but how can you not criticize the over-zealousness of people in that instance? I don't blame journalists doing that...I blame fans for making a mistake and then getting petulant at Penny Arcade for calling them out on it.

Anybody else not sure how to feel about this? No you are definetely not alone, casey hudson is indeed the father of the mass effect franchise but his track records is not perfect, and the departue of Flynn does not reassure me one bit. Ill wait and see for the future, I am neither reassured or scared.

I... I don't know how to feel about this. The same here. I don't hate Hudson or anything but I don't know what he can do to "fix" or "correct" whatever internal problems that BioWare seem to has these days (and to be honest there are some problems he can't fix because of EA's constant melding), but on the other hand if he can at least try to help BioWare get back on track and if he succeeds then I'm all for it. I doubt he'll "fix all the thingz", but imo Casey provided a unifying vision which helped make a number of BioWare games cohesive experiences. That's what I'm hoping to see return in their future releases with him at the helm.

This sucks. I really liked Aaryn Flynn, where I have an ambivalent opinion on Casey Hudson. What exactly Flynn has done for Mass effect ? In a productive way I mean ? I don't really give a damn about him being a sympathetic guy, that's the only thing I remember. I want my video games to be good, that's the only thing I care about. I liked Mass effect andromeda, but it terribly lacked some visions for the universe. No interesting conflicts, no interesting villains and tension, a story way too light with its tone. The angara feel terribly close to humans with their civilization, and their design is quite bad to be honest. They look like stuffed animals. The Ketts are really boring, their design too, compared to the Geths in M1 while we didn't know much about them. Mass effect 1 and Mass effect 2 were good at least with that. Whether about the tension, interesting conflicts and races.

It's like a player you traded away or lost in free agency only to come back for a retirement season. This isn't the case. Hudson has a lot of baggage and a pretty bad reputation in some circles. My gut instinct is screaming that this will backfire or not last long. I've never worked for BioWare and I only know what went on during his last year in Edmonton through a few former employees. Well, good luck to Hudson. Let's make Andromeda DLC and get on with this Anthem thing. Personal note: If 90% of what Jason Schreier is correct about the development of Inquisition, then it's a good thing Hudson is coming back. I didn't mind seeing him step down after ME 3's implosion. Hudson helped fuel the YouTube movement about gaming. Look at Angry Joe and the Rageaholic (RazorFist). It won't be long before they make videos on this. Eh, Casey left BioWare in August 2014. 1 year and half after Citadel DLC was released, 2 and half years after ME3 was launched and entire endings debacle happened. And he worked on early development stage of both Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem. He hardly left due to ME3 endings implosion.
Are you sure? That's a lot of baggage to carry around. The whole studio was being transformed from BioWare to EA during those two years. I thought he left because he was struggling to keep his vision going with the all the turmoil. It still doesn't matter to me. His baggage is still there. No one has forgotten. Even the fanboys. So... my gut instinct is saying to be cautiously optimistic, but mourn Flynn's departure. I am not a big fan of Flynn either. He knows how to lead from the back and let leads do their work. However, with all the turmoil, I guess Hudson is better suited. We'll see. I'm cautiously optimistic, but my threshold for bullcrap is gone... like many fans. I do see a lot of positive reaction to this and I hope it's coming from a developer. Hopin' for the best.
