Fanbase Phenomenon: The Latest ME is Always the Worst

I am sure there are cdpr dedicated forums you can post in.

that does not make sense, i love the trilogy, i dont like me3 ending

Yeah this thread passed into unabashed crackpottery a few pages ago: organized movements and secret conspiracies and shadowy cabals (drugs are bad mmmkay?)

Tough. Every other developer has their official forums and more or less deals with every cirticism thrown at them. The better question would be why there is so much negativity against Bioware and not against other developers. The playing field is even. They all have to deal with the same amount of social media. And no, an organized crowd homing in on Bioware doesn't cut it. It's rather that they went looking for a new and broader audience, starting with DA2, which is well documented by statements coming from the higher ups at EA as well as Bioware. Not only didn't they manage to make up for the loss of their old audience, they didn't manage to draw in a sufficient crowd being into their new approach. DAI was still a solid game, weaknesses aside, and they got the sales numbers and recption to show it. MEA wasn't. For whatever reason. Not as bad a game as some make it out to be, but one of the thousands that drift into Oblivion, once the original attraction is gone. In that and in many other aspects, MEA is mainstream. Certainly not a train wreck, but certainly not a masterpiece either.

EA in the making? Why? They seem to be exactly the contrary. People like CDPR because they made one of the best game of all times and they listen to their fans. Yes, at release day The Witcher 3 had a lot of bugs, as it was expected, but the speed in which patches were released to correct them was incredible. In 2 weeks, most of the bugs were corrected. And funny thing, the company even made jokes about it in their DLCs, acknowledging the bugs. And while many companies like EA focus on Multiplayer, TW3 had no multiplayer nor microtransactions. On the contrary, it had 16 free DLCs. And it had only two (wonderful, by the way) payable DLCs, everything by a very affordable price (at least in Brazil). Plus, it has been two years since The Witcher 3, and they haven't even released footage of Cyberpunk, which means they aren't going to release it before they should, like EA does. 

It's fine if you had a nice experience with it, but you also have to accept that most people didn't, because the game is absolutely horrible (and you can still have a nice experience with a game even if it's bad). I'm not part of the "hate" group or "anti-SJW" group, because I really like Bioware and their games, and I may even be considered a "SJW", but Mass Effect: Andromeda is, sincerely, one of the worst games I played entirely. 

Look dude, we get it, you hate TW3 and spooge all over anything Mass Effect.

To me it seems you're apart of the same gamer culture you talk shit about soooooooo much. It just applies to anything that isn't Mass effect...

The "16 Free" DLC was a sham in my eyes, it was all basic content that if any other developer were to take that approach they would be ripped apart with comments of "that should have been in the base game.  The final Free DLC was New Game+, that is something BioWare still gets crapped on for not including in Dragon Age.

The EA in the making is going by the Glassdoor postings and CDPR's response to it combined with what other places have reported over the last couple of years from people who left CDPR.

BioWare has done the exact same thing in the past about their products and what people don't like.  In Mass Effect 3 talking to Conrad Vernor you would have a discussion about Thermal Clips and Heat Sinks with him or in the bay you will have Cortez and James talking about the differences with the Mako and Hammerhead.  BioWare also had Project $10 for Mass Effect 2 so if you bought it new you got more content such as the Hammerhead and a few small missions for it and also included Zaeed, or with Dragon Age: Origins it included the entire Shale DLC.

So what if they didn't have multiplayer in The Witcher 3, people wouldn't shut up about co-op in Mass Effect after the first two games, so they included something to try and give the experience people were asking for, but again because it is not what an individual wants it becomes a negative instead of giving others what they want.

So they are hiding Cyberpunk 2077 and that is fine, but I remember all the news articles with Andromeda and the posts around here that EA was hiding Andromeda from people by not talking about it.  So I guess EA hides their games in a negative way, but CPDR does it in a good way.

Great Andromeda is the worst game you have ever played, doesn't mean it is mine.  I am fine with that, I am just tired of being told I am wrong for not agree it is the worst game of all time because other declared it to be so.

To be fair in this instance Bioware was hiding the fact that they weren't really getting anything done for more than half of the 5 year development cycle. So one would say Bioware/EA hid it in a negative way.

I have no fight in this dispute. Only the bolded part.

I mean, you're still that shook over the endings? Then no 150+ hours only to you then, I can have those.

No one said I was shook. I said "never forget" not "never stop cutting yourself in the bathroom, crying".

I got shit to do, other games to play. Even if I replay the trilogy, I'll just roll my eyes and cue up a Youtube video during those five minutes.

None of that means Hudons or Walters gets a pass from me, or that I would trust or buy anything they're in charge of again.

In retrospect, this was such a brilliant marketing move that I can hardly believe the entire industry hasn't adopted it.
